I understood the helmets WERE skydiving helmets, but intended exclusively for swoopers doing hop&pops. I read somewhere bonehead saying they strongly recomended not taking the helmets terminal, they probably wouldn't stay on. I also understand the spikes on the back are made of rubber and are quite flexible, so they're not snag risks. Of course, I could be completely talking out of my ass... _Am ICQ: 5578907 MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfe Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999

Yeah, and you better hope you can troubleshoot problems yourself. The tech support sucks. upload speed isn't THAT much of an issue for me. I have 14 servers in serious datacenters I can put stuff on. _Am ICQ: 5578907 MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfe Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999

Tease! I'll see if I get any better offers. I'll let you know! :P The closest thing to a kiss pass was a big ugly guy named Jim who threatened one on my first tandem. Thankfully, he chickend out once he found out I was having video. _Am ICQ: 5578907 MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfe Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999

I jumped with Jeff (the middle one, I think) when he was 16. He had over 3000 jumps. That was about three years ago. _Am ICQ: 5578907 MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfe Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999

The obvious one I can think of is SkydiveChicago - their access roads and parking lot should easily acomodate your rig. Skydive Chicagoland (Hinckley) also as a truck stop (greasy restaurant called TEMPO) about 1 mile west, where you could probably park all day. We give them enough business, I certainly hope they'd let you... _Am ICQ: 5578907 MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfe Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999

Yeah. "We're going to invade Camelot!" Too funny. The "something completely different" comment was wrong, but it was a good teaser. _Am ICQ: 5578907 MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfe Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999

I've seen tandems go up at quite a few DZ's. I won't name names, but they've been large and small USPA DZ's. In all cases, the young tandems were children of regulars, and these children usually hungout at the DZ anyways. A few DZO's have let their kids jump on their own, but they're rare. Have you tried to see if your DZ would make an exception? _Am ICQ: 5578907 MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfe Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999

Steve, that's exactly how I lost 80 pounds. It sounds like you've got a great technique and the right mindset. If you keep to it, I have no doubt you'll lose the weight you're looking for. You'll easily lose 1 or 2 pounds per week. My only advice is to add DRINKING LOTS OF WATER. Your body needs water to metabolise fat. Drink so much water that you're pissing every half hour. After a week you you'll be pissing normally again. Remember: opinions are like assholes, Everyone's got one. Keep yourself motivated, and remember WHY you're doing it Also, if you do lose a ton of weigh, just think of the new canopy you could buy. I lost my weight before I started skydiving, but celebrated by buying an Armani suit. These are GOOD things. If ya can't afford the new canopy, a few weights will help, too. _Am.

Yeah, thanks for the correction. I just assumed it was the same caravan that flew jumpers. Still, it's just as much a tragedy as it was before. _Am ICQ: 5578907 MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfe Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999

That wouldn't suprise me. I'm not which of the Indian languages, but chai is literally Indian for tea. _Am (once dated an indian girl) ICQ: 5578907 MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfe Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999

If we're talking tea, then it's Darjeeling tea with cardamon, cloves, and cinamon. AKA Chai, which is of course Indian for Tea... _Am ICQ: 5578907 MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfe Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999
