Aren't you supposed to be in training or something? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

The worst I've seen was dz.commer "Homer" who landed about 2 or 3 miles from the dz (in a different county). I know, that's not far, as shown in attachment notthatfar.jpg. But do ya notice anything missing? How about a bridge! Now see thatfar.jpg. That's what going to fetch him entailed. I'd guess 20ish miles each way. The worst part? He's landed over there twice.

And I'm sooooo glad that you did!

You've either got funny math, are planning on not sleeping a couple nights in the next week, or have moved up the date of your departure. 8 sleeps here. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

LMAO! I made the mistake of inviting my ex to LP with me one year. We suddenly had a new rule in the house...I couldn't go to Prairie anymore unless I brought her with, and she would not want to spend vacation time on such depravity every single summer. Lost Prairie boogie...just one more benefit of cutting away the whuffo. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I ain't too proud to beg. I'm eligible and I haven't made a Lang demo since 2001, so pretty please may I have a slot my illustrious master? Do I need to stuff the ballot box? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I bought the DVD on the advice of friends who saw it at the theater. I thought it was pretty funny. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I'd agree with 200. I know folks who are kicking butt, mentally and skills wise with fewer jumps, and I know folks with 500 who can't fly their way out of a paper bag. Still, I'd say somewhere around 200 jumps they stop needing quite as much attention and can usually be expected to know what their slot entails and have a reasonable shot at flying it without a bunch of direction.

Hello-oooo down there Did you see what I wore on that jump yesterday? My freefly top (floppy heavy denim) over my bootie suit. It's uncomfortably hot until exit, but man is it versatile in the air. Body position is the most important aspect of falling slow, but dressing for success makes life so much easier. I looked at the size/shape of the lowest timer on that load, thought about the possibility that all her tunnel time has taught her "muscle memory" for slow air, and decided I wanted more "insurance" than just my cheaters. Mind you I'm not saying your suit isn't perfect...I remember thinking that I wanted to check it out before we got ready, and then I forgot to. I remember it's a blue Bev suit w/ booties, but that's about it. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Maybe it's just the folks I know or the loads I get on, but I've found that working with low timers is often the best way to improve my skills. To be honest, I've gotten a little bored with the "dirt-dive 8 times, then get there, dock, wait for people, wait some more, go to the second point, wait" style of jumps. Given the choice between a 2 or 3 point 10 way and a 10 point 2 or 3 way with newbies, the jumps with novices are going to give me a lot more opportunity to fly and a lot less "sit and wait" time. Don't get me wrong, I still like jumping with people who have been my friends for years and do so whenever I get the chance. But those people make life easy on me and I don't have to work very hard, so I'm thinking the skills improvement comes elsewhere. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

People who chew with their mouth open. I fired a guy for it once. It's just disgusting, plus it's usually accomanied by other disgusting personal habits (or lack thereof). Also, people who wait till the cashier is done ringing them up before they *start* filling out a check, and then stand there gabbing with the clerk after their transaction is complete. It's like "Hello! We're waiting for you to move along! Please gab with perfect strangers on your own time, not mine!" People who are trying to sell me something who won't take no for an answer. Religion sales-people seem to be the worst offenders, but there are more than enough selling tangible products as well. I'll say "no thank you" or something similarly polite once or twice, then manners get thrown out the window. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

:3:0 This weekend wasn't about skydiving. I made one jump Wednesday evening, not sure what. I think it might have been a 5 way. Then Gia and I did relative work Saturday, then I stopped by Snohomish and made two jumps on my way home yesterday, a birdman and a 5-way. It was a good weekend.

Are you expecting to jump your D number in LP? Man I've got a long ways to go to jump mine! OK, I'm ready to go NOW! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

There's usually a tracking competition, but that's about it (unless you count Electric Star during weather delays). LP is about having fun, then having drunk fun, repeat daily. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

ME too I have a different version of it, but it's pretty worn out (6 or 7 years old). Must get a new one this year. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

And you've never been to Prairie? You know they make that beer just up the road. Hey, speaking of stalking, you've been slacking big time! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

OK, now caption him in this picture. FYI, "this guy" is D22369 on dropzone.com. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Now that I think about it, we'd just gotten in from a 15 hour drive, had been drinking beer for the last 3-4 hours while Krisanne drove, and promptly started chasing all that beer with a combination of absinthe, some sort of hard liquor, and more beer. I'm surprized he's still standing, the pansy-ass. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

You're starting with a false premise...that Roy thinks at all. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
