  1. Roger that . . I'll take all the advice from you non-newbies I can get, and appreciate it! James
  2. "Altimeters are basically training wheels until you develop a sense of timing and learn to "eyeball" altitude." Just a student, but all I hear is either Arch or Altitude Awareness. Seems odd that alot of Skydivers choose not use an altimeter. You're blowin a Newbies mind here , say it ain't so!
  3. Do you have a complete required reading list? James
  4. Didn't at all mean to offend anyone, I simply meant that the risk seems to be extremely minimized these days before one even steps into the airplane. I'm well aware of the risk involved, my point was that it is not at all as the general public views it to be . . . don't you think, or am I way off base and should just get back to work?
  5. I've have'nt been in this sport too long, however, I have researched it to an almost obsessive level. One thing I know is that skydiving is fundamentally safe and that most people react to it on a gut level as can be seen in the Red Bull commercial where two skydivers hammer in. Do you things things like that put the sport in a bad light, or do you think that's just how most people will always view skydiving? Just Curious... James
  6. "As for the work thing,, my sweety an I work the same place,, several of us do,, ya know when at work it's work,, be professional etc/" When I tried the at home/at work thing it became old and routine very fast. Takes real chemistry between two people to pull that off. James
  7. Blue Skies David, May God bless you and your family
  8. Still on student status, hoping to get my first rig this summer . . great article, but who do I trust when it comes to advice at buying time? James
  9. work like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt and dance like nobodys watching. Just wanted to tell you . . that's the best quote I've seen yet.
  10. Still new to the lingo, please explain the numbers game, somebody, anybody . . James
  11. As far as desktop publishing and video editing is concerned, Apple has pretty much cornered the market. The prices seem ridiculous until you use one. The internal structure of the Apple allows for very fast image and editing work. The MHz myth site is an excellent explanation. I work on Apples all day for a prepress shop, and wouldn't think of purchasing anything but.

  13. Never heard of Tres Equis, however, Carte Blanc is an excellent Mexican Beer. I've heard (can't freakin remember where) that on the Baja penisula the only beer you can get is Tecate.
  14. I've told whuffos at work that we actually have a couple high school students that come out on weekends and pack. That one really blows thier minds.
  15. I actually heard the mother of a static line student ask this: "If both parachutes fail to open, can she sue the dropzone?"
