  1. I'll be at Hinckley--14 dollar jumps!!!
  2. If you go to www.freefly.com (i think that;s what it is...)they have a link for an upcoming extreme sports mag including skydiving. you can give some info in there and get a free issue once it comes out. blue skies Tomas
  3. 0:13:0 Did some absolutely kickass freeflying. Linked headdown-to-sit transitions, docks, and all around general mayhem on some of the best dives ever. Great weekend. Now, this weekend i will only be able to do 2 jumps, but then....4th of july weekend where i am budgeting for 30!!! blue ones, tomas

  8. I got my tony suit in 4 weeks. Granted, the pattern i ordered was really simple with not a lot of options (don't know if that matters). Hope yours comes in soon. blue ones, Tomas "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer

  10. 83.3 (speed at which the police plane clocked me on my way to Vandalia): 8: 2 Slow weekend. Got 5 in on friday at hinckley, including a kickass 14 way tracking dive. yesterday the threat of rain made it so that we only got 3 king air loads at archway, but i got my freefly suit (after only 4 weeks!!) and i got to play with it...it is a bit different having all that drag on my arms while headdown but it flies great and the change in fall rate you can do when sitflying is freaking cool. 2 for first ticket, and first jumpsuit. blue skies Tomas "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie.

  11. For those interested, Hinckley was manifesting a sunset load monday at sunset--i would think something along the lines of a tracking dive towards the eclipse. "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer
  12. Im at hinckley right now...where si everyone???? "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer
  13. 0:2:0 Stoopid winds...when i landed backwards saturday i decided i didn't think i wanted to hurt myself so i stopped. Did some good freeflying though, and i am thinking wed or friday (most likely friday) at hinckley, sunday at vandalia. blue skies Tomas "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie.

  14. I caught a bit where there was a Miss Cyprus. Is she the kind that pops open if you go down too fast? "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer
  15. Nice pics, Andy! Seeing Archway makes me wish it wsa last weekend again..... Can you PM me with how to post pictures? I tried, but the ones i have are too big so i need to know how to make em smaller. blue skies Tomas "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer
  16. blue skies, bro. I really hope that this doesn't complicate things for the SIU gang with their University. blue skies Tomas "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer
  17. Sure, if you are there!!! I thought you said you were going to Ottawa.... "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer
  18. Caravans are nice cuz the door is still decently big. The King Air is nice too, but aside from a CASA my favorite plane so far has to be SDC's otter with the stereo in it....cool ass plane. blue skies Tomas "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer
  19. Happy b-day andy.....FallingMarc, medic, and I will be at hinckley tomorrow so anyone wanting to play with us come to Chicagoland.... blue skies TOmas "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer
  20. I would have made some jumps if marc hadnt overslept...communist.... "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer
  21. The doctor thing is different from the railroad thing in that the man 's organs belong to HIM. They are HIS. So not only would he be dying by your choice, you would be stealing his own organs to save the others. In the train example, he happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. In that case, though, i would not hit the switch because it comes down to I would feel directly responsable for the one man's death (without all the legal mumbo-jumbo) whereas the 5 were going to die anyway since they had the bad luck to be there with the switch pointing the track in that way.

  22. "It's BOOZE-Thirty!!" I'll be there on friday at like noon/1pm till about 5. blue skies Tomas "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer
  23. If i dont go today, im going friday for 4-ish jumps. blue skies me "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer
  24. Well put, well put....the weekend can't be put into words but that was a pretty good description of a lot of what went on. I took the freeflying route, and hammered out a crapload of jumps myself....wow what a great weekend. blue skies Tomas "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer
  25. I agree....be careful when freeflying about getting too crazy cuz stuff can happen really fast. I did a ton of dives this weekend where i gradually picked up headdown but i didnt get close to anyone unless i was sure of my ability and their own. Missy Nelson was at our DZ for the weekend and Saturday night went over the importance of being aware in this kind of thing as she discussed what happened at Skydive Chicago last weekend. blue skies, and stay safe Tomas "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie.
