So tomorrow we'll be a quarter of the way through the year, how ya doin'? Gettin' busy nightly? Or wondering whether you'll finish the year a (re)virgin? How many times have you done the deed, with an actual person, other than yourself, so far this year? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Is your repack due? Maybe you can get that taken care of before you leave. As if I would ever head anywhere without a pencil in my gearbag. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Only when I'm drinking. Simple solution. It's 700+ miles from Portland to Hollister. We'll make Roy drive and we'll drink enough that our entertainment value vastly exceeds that of a mere radio. If I can drink an ugly woman beautiful, I should be able to drink till your singing is at least tolerable. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Why aren't Riggers charging more for hard to pack reserves?
livendive replied to peek's topic in Gear and Rigging
What about a rigger who simply refuses to pack them? I have a friend who simply won't pack Racers...those customers get sent elsewhere. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew) -
I've had my Infinity for a little over 4 years now. If I remember correctly, I got it shortly after Kelly unveiled the current design. Anyhow, I developed a slight wear problem and sent Kelly a PM a couple weeks ago. He was back to me within the hour and sent me the parts I'd need for the fix later that day. Well, following a diagnosis of "sewing machine inadequacy" last night, I had to get ahold of him again...at which point he agreed to do the work for free if I'd just pay the shipping costs... $16, round-trip. Not a bad price for a job that involves removal and reattachment of the top reserve flap and riser cover tucktab pockets! Anyhow, I just wanted to give him and his company props. The Infinity is a top-notch rig, especially for the price, and the customer service from Velocity is unbeatable.

Really? I guess I'll have to check into them a bit more! I'm assuming they make plastic frames in addition to the metal ones? Thanks! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I'm thinking the 4 years isn't nearly as relevent as the two jumps. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

The air's too wet there. Eastern Washington has much better weather. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

It's not just your experience, and I don't just throw mine in a gear bag. The most punishment mine take are getting rubbed against in the plane while they're hanging off my chest-strap. Anyhow, most (all?) of the newer generation goggles have the same problem. I'm looking for a pair that doesn't have that problem, so I don't have to buy a new pair every couple of weeks. If I find such a thing, I'll post it. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Thanks...do you know if they use the same type of foam rubber seal as the rest? Or is it the sealed-cell type foam that's less prone to tearing? Something as simple as goggles couldn't make me look good anyhow. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I like the peripheral vision in Sorz, but I had a problem with the foam falling apart/falling off after a short while. Still, they were better than the others I've tried and so they're my fall-back option. It'd be nice if someone would sell a pair with either durable foam or replaceable foam of some sort, but then they wouldn't make all the re-sale money. As far as I know, Wiley X's are the only ones with that option, and I've heard the fit often leaves something to be desired...at $80-$130 a pair, I don't want to play with that problem. Not to worry. I guess I must not be secure enough in my manhood to wear a pair of those. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Contacts...otherwise I wouldn't even be posing such a question. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Anyone using these? Do they have the same POS foam as all the cheaper models that starts falling off after 5-25 jumps? At $46 each, I'd like to think they're a little more durable than all the others, but don't want to waste the money if they're just another pair that I'll be super-gluing the foam on within a month. Has anyone found any comfortable, reasonably decent looking goggles that have some longevity? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

It's caused by too much sleep. I'll try to remember to call you at 3 AM to remedy the situation. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Oh no, you're fine on the roadtrip, I was just thinking they might appreciate a warning so they can be sure to have a full complement of riggers on hand. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

DSC05947 is just plain cruel. No matter how hard I try, I can't change the camera angle by that last inch or two. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Just a Couple of Days by Tony Vigorito If you go to the author's webpage (www.justacoupleofdays.com), you can read the first 147 pages of the book and decide whether you're interested enough to buy it for the remainder. Personally, I thought it was hilarious, irreverent, thought-provoking, and just plain fun. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Who do You Think was the Greatest American
livendive replied to lawrocket's topic in Speakers Corner
Great question...it was nice to sit and ponder it for a few minutes. Tops to Benjamin Franklin Runners-up: Thomas Jefferson and Samuel Clemens. Honorable mention: Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, and Ernest Hemingway. Also rans: Ralph Waldo Emerson, Martin Luther King Jr, Linus Pauling Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

I'd put it on, announce it's a tandem rig, and offer the hottest chick on the flight the passenger slot in exchange for a quickie. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
