You owe me a keyboard cleaning! Or do you know Skittle's story? Yeah, I heard about it. All the cool kids are doing it. SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch) -
Why conquer it? Unless it is keeping you from doing what you want/need to do, why not enjoy it. I personally love that feeling. SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)

Somebody seems fond of these two I remember that night. That was the first time I asked Roo to jump so that we could take a picture. She kept jumping and we kept shooting. Nice socks.

I've jumped from too many different aircraft during my skydiving infancy. I like the Casa because I can actually stand up, the exit is fun, and there's plenty of time to take a nap on the way up (yes, I like to snooze). I like the Otter because it is fairly speedy and has an average door. Benches are a must though. So far I've tried Grand Caravan, PAC-750XL, Beech 99, King Air (Mullen's), Twin Otter, Casa, and 182. The only airplanes that I still want to jump are the Skyvan and DC3. Of course a balloon jump is on my wish list too.

I was told last month that they thought it might be done before the SkyFest event in June. Not sure if they knew the start date then, I would imagine it would be if they broke ground yesterday?? Sounds like it will be a nice one? Does that mean, in the spirit of things, we could do water-training before the first load...or after the last load? ...or during the SCR ceremony?

Black Sharpie's are available at 7-11 +1 If you are in a hurry, just put diagonal black stripes on them with the Sharpie (about 1" wide each). SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)

Wow, I'm digging this thread up from quite a while ago...Just curious if there is an audio book on the SIM? Thanks! I could have my Mac read the PDF. Now that would be bizarre. I'm still running 10.4.11, but I understand that Leopard has better speech. - David SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)

So how are you going to improve your life in 2009???
denete replied to iluvtofly's topic in The Bonfire
Get busy living or get busy dying. Take care of my body a bit more. Close a few chapters, and solidify a few others. Continue to try and convince people that I'm not bored, I just look bored. -
I'm sure he will get right on that... After he's done with the skiing, of course. Nice video Bolas. SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)

Re: [billvon] Fatality - Z-Hills, FL - 26 December 2008
denete replied to happythoughts's topic in Gear and Rigging
Kevlar or a Kevlar/CF hybrid would be nice. Much stronger than CF in compression. Essentially the same idea behind an auto air-bag? Why not foam/air cells much like those inside football helmets. They could be designed to "fail" at a certain pressure level and decelerate the head, albeit only for 1 inch.

Anything you wish you'd known starting out?
denete replied to deadcactus's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
If you're in the states or planning to go through a USPA AFF course, there is one thing that you should definitely do. Read the SIM, re-read the SIM, and then read it one more time. 2008 SIM (PDF) Of course, you should check with the dropzone you have chosen and see if they have any recommendations. - David disclaimer: everything above may be wrong SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch) -
Right. That is how I was testing it, but without the rig. SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)
