  1. You're doing pretty good so far Jason, but you ain't THAT good! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  2. "FUCK JACKETS!!!" Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  3. That's in a different (current) thread...a poll started by JasonRose. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  4. Hey, I still had on the Doc's I wore to work today! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  5. Not a problem anymore, in fact the opposite now. Got home, cranked up the stereo, and, well...just imagine an older, fatter, punk version of Tom Cruise in Risky Business. Awesome! The lead-in to Prison Bound had me laughing my ass off. I'll tell ya the story of why if you remind me when you're over here. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  6. Wow did you just make me feel old! The last time I saw Social Distortion live was 17 years ago. Don't know what songs are on "Live at the Roxy", but you've got to check out their self-titled album and Prison Bound, and Mommy's Little Monster while you're at it. Social D.... yay!
  7. If they can't catch a student? Or if they can't catch a student? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  8. I hear this claim of 1000-1500 ft openings all the time and have a hard time believing it. Do you realize how long that would be in seconds, assuming a snivel for most of it? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  9. Now, now, Dave... no need for a personal attack against Jason. How is calling him one of my favorite students a personal attack? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  10. Yeah, cuz my favorite students are the ones who come in knowing everything...and they learned it all on "the web." Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  11. It looks like there'll probably be a $10 registration fee to cover the cost of beer & pizza on Saturday (unless we go BYOB). Jump ticket prices aren't set yet, but I'd imagine they'll be $22-$23 for 12-13k. There's been some interest expressed in night jumps on Friday, though I don't know how many will still be interested when they learn there's just a sliver of a moon that night (I prefer new moon jumps to full moon jumps ). And there will be some sort of prize(s) for best costume(s) Saturday night. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  12. Bob H. said he is trying to get one.. I might be flying over to Lousiana for 2 weeks to help with clean up efforts so I might not be able to make it.. That'd make a third boogie this year that I've been at that you haven't. Your tracking skills must be tapering off. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  13. I haven't heard anything about a band, but I do know BJ Alexandar (Ikenever) is gonna organize wingsuiters, Lee Silcox is gonna help out any freeflyers who don't know anyone (I wouldn't call it "organizing" when freeflyers are involved), and I'm gonna play with belly flyers until someone better than me shows up (likely to happen in the first 5 minutes or so). So far, we've got: D22369 (presumably) Ikenever FlankSteak Flyhilo2 G5fh84 Homer JasonRose Livendive Monkycndo NWFlyer Skiskyrock (presumably) Skyrex Smilie Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

  14. I'll see you in the Caravan Halloween weekend, right Jason? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  15. The C-206 (and a Twin Bonanza) are at Richland Skysports, whereas the C-208 is at West Plains Skydiving, so yeah, the C-206 definitely still gets jumped. Halloween weekend the Caravan will be at Richland. You should come play with us. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  16. I know a jumper whose instructor went in after chasing her into AAD land (her's fired and he didn't have one). She went on to become an instructor herself and still jumps today. I wouldn't say he got killed because of her, as students and novices have their hands full enough just taking care of themselves. They can't be expected to take responsibility for another life as well. Anyhow, like most incidents in skydiving, his death was a direct result of the choices he made. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  17. Jeezus! Not counting my own, I think I've only been to 5 weddings in my LIFE! I pretty much don't do weddings. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  18. The Mooney will additionally see mileage savings unless the pilot flies "IFR". Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  19. And Lost Prairie in July, and at West Plains Skydiving in August... She's a good chick. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  20. Now that's funny! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  21. Please elaborate. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  22. Right now I'm thinking of the Sunni-Shiite-Kurdish thing in Iraq, but that isn't even close to the only country that is divided into separate factions. I'd really like to get a better understanding of what the differences are between these groups, so I'm trying to think of an American equivalent (assuming such groups exists). Is it like democrats versus republicans? Protestant versus lutheran? City slickers versus rednecks? Polish immigrants versus Mexican immigrants? Is the disparity political, religous, ethnic, cultural, or all of the above? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  23. Hey, I'm within crawling distance. Tell Karen to pick up an extra steak on her way home, decant a couple of bottles, and then get back to your housework. I'll be over for dinner and drinks in a few hours. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  24. There's your answer...there are 49 other weekends a year you can jump. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
