I learned from a very famous cameraflyer that if they raz you about your camerahelmet just take it out of the bag and put it on your head, calling it a hat. You're allowed a hat. Really.

Cool! Elsinore is also BEAUTIFUL from the top... the lake, the Ortega Mtns, the Pacific, Catalina Island on a clear day, San Bernardino Mtns (I think ), and of course all the housing development all over this area. Gorgeous! Actually, it all really is gorgeous.

So, far this one's winning.

why waffle? just do it. see you there! __________________________________________________________ http://www.skydiveelsinore.com/teams/EXCEL/basic_camp.html

Jumps are $20 with registration, and everyone is out on Friday-- all the organizers, manufacturers, everything-- the event should be in full swing!! Whooohooo, indeed! AND, I JUST found out the Helicopter details-- this is what I posted on myspace and sent out via email..... "Ok, FINALLY, it's official-- the helicopter for Chicks Rock is happening SUNDAY morning (Oct 1), and each slot is $50. To reserve your slot, call or visit the Elsinore office directly (951-245-9939), and you MUST PAY in full to reserve your slot. We will not accept ANY reservations for the helicopter without payment. And, keep in mind, there will be NO refunds the day of helo jumping-- which means, if you miss your load, you're out of luck. Loads will be going up every 10-15 minutes starting at 7:30AM, and each load can take 5 people. Also, as per our S&TA, you must have 50 jumps and an A-license to jump the helicopter. SWWWEEEeeeeeeeeT!!!!! Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes YES........................... OH, and also, for those of you ladies participating in the Women's World Record Camp-- meet time is tomorrow morning 9AM in the packing area at Elsinore..... see you there!"

Hell YES!! Now that is what I'm talking about!! Ms. A, you're my kind of chick, I can already tell........ Can't wait to JUMP!!!! __________________________________________________________ http://www.skydiveelsinore.com/teams/EXCEL/basic_camp.html

every event at Elsinore is newcomer friendly. Doubly so if Mel is organizing. (And at best the ratio might flirt with 50/50 - bring your friends) Hey, thanks for the kudos, Jason! Ms. A, most DEFinitely come out for this event-- if you don't leave with a ton of new friends, both girls and guys, I would be very surprised. Come on out, there is PLENTY of organizing for all skill levels at Chicks Rock. I will most likely be doing hybrids, Pink Mafia, Rodriguez Bros, and all-chick loads, so definnitely find me when you arrive and we'll jump! Only one week out, holy crap! YES! __________________________________________________________ http://www.skydiveelsinore.com/teams/EXCEL/basic_camp.html

not long now........ keep it together for 8 more days.......... __________________________________________________________ http://www.skydiveelsinore.com/teams/EXCEL/basic_camp.html

I love the world's largest girl-crush! Hell yes, gf! hahaaa So are you coming down for Chicks Rock??? Ok, back to the thread at hand here... Gail, great to talk to you today! I'm happy you've decided to come out for the Excel camp-- of course I think you will get a lot out of the day-- fun, info, friends, freefall-- the works. Your uncle should enjoy his tandem (hopefully he'll make one!), and the laid back vibe on the DZ-- we have our snack bar for food and drink, and bring a blanket and he can chill out on the grass in the shade with a book, or watch landings, or whatever.

Abso-f'ing-lutely.... can't guarantee you'll love what's in there, but anything I'm not wearing, is yours....... __________________________________________________________ http://www.skydiveelsinore.com/teams/EXCEL/basic_camp.html

Hey peeps, just so there is ZERO confusion...... the party on Saturday night is a COSTUME party with a ROCK STAR theme. SO, Sat night, dress up like your inner rock star, whoever that may be..... __________________________________________________________ http://www.skydiveelsinore.com/teams/EXCEL/basic_camp.html

I just have to tell you all.... that I have completed my rock star outfit............ I cannot tell you how happy this makes me........ just the right mix of J-Lo, Courtney Love, and Melanie Curtis........... __________________________________________________________ http://www.skydiveelsinore.com/teams/EXCEL/basic_camp.html
