FYI - I just spent WAY more than you will on Prairie. I'll be towing accomodations instead of carrying them in a bag. Can you say 8 year loan?! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Good girl.

Visa...for when financial planning just won't do. Skip the Kalispell airfare and either drive or ride with someone. Blues, Dave But that requires more vacation time Don't be a pansy-ass! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I like A-license holders to pull no later than 3000 and can see value in them pulling at 3500. In either case, vertical separation is bullshit and should not be relied except as a last resort (i.e. in the basement, not planned). Horizontal separation is where it's at.

I spelled it out (in writing) to my family when I was doing my living will stuff. Anything useful is to be harvested, the rest burnt to a crisp, and my best friend is to organize my ash dive wherever he deems appropriate. The only stipulation I made is that he has to do enough training jumps before-hand to successfully complete at least a 1-point 4-way (he spends 98% of his skydives hanging under a drogue) . For doing this, he gets my skydiving gear (at least whatever of it is still useable). Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

:11:0 2 tandems, 9 AFF jumps (all release dives). I must be getting old. Tenting it for the weekend and doing 4 AFF's yesterday and 4 more today wiped my ass out. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Mine too. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I tell them during my briefing to cross their arms before we get in the door so they don't do a human impression of a cat being placed in a toilet bowl. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Actually, given that she hasn't killed me by biting a hole in my crotch yet, I'm going to assume she's decided to spare me all those wonderful suggestions. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Dirty talk is funny. Not as funny as when a normal chick tries unsuccessfully to make porn star faces (rolling eyes, lolling tongue, etc...that's just flat out hilarious ) but funny nonetheless. A little can be pretty cool, but it seems pretty easy to go over the top at which point I have a hard time not laughing. (a mood-killer for some women ).

Jeez, between you, Chrissy, and Jason.... What are we, chopped liver?! From Huntington, your best bets are Elsinore and Perris. They're both, umm, just a little bit bigger than us. Perris is bigger and I'm pretty sure they put up more jumpers. They also have a bar and a wind tunnel onsite. I believe that most of the people who like Elsinore more than Perris prefer it for its "vibe". You gonna make it to Lost Prairie with us? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

Dave your daughter is HOT how old is she??? How much do you like that A-license again? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Hey, that was my 3,000th post! I guess that means you REALLY have to try it. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I added your name to the list in that other thread, so you don't have to run up your post numbers there either. Blues Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Without question, my favorite jump was taking my daughter on a tandem (a couple of pre-jump video grabs attached, they're all I have on this machine). Outside of that jump, there's the jump that "set the hook", when I had 50ish jumps and finally realized I could control myself on all 3 axes, flying forward, "up", and side-sliding all at the same time. My one and only balloon jump (a bandit) sticks out as pretty memorable, as does my first sunset "cross-country" with 50 some-odd other people at Lost Prairie. Hybrids with "famous folk" and landing on the beach in San Carlos was pretty awesome, as were a couple of my night jumps, a 3-stack in Lodi with friends, my first 8-stack, a dragplane, a couple 40-ways, and many, many others now that I think about it. Really though, I guess what I like the most when sorting through my memories is the number of times I've found myself laughing in freefall, under canopy, or on the ground with friends. I guess my second favorite memory would be just a mishmash of many memories that include the friends I've made in skydiving and the fun times we've shared.
