I'm thinking about running for stuff not realy about making loads. Never been don't know what stuff to be running for, just sounded like fun. How far are showers? where is the laundry facility? do i get to scrub on a rock? should I care about laundry? Even for ten days?

No pro, None, rides commercial boards. They don't buy from the gooch at the end of the pier and they don't buy any from factorys that make apparel. Wanna be pros know shapers, real pros have shapers beggen to shape for them. Get what you want. get Gizmoed out.

I'm thinking ( amazing ) about bringing a MTN bike to rantoul instead of forking for a forking golfcart. Question is good idea~ bad idea? Useful? overkill? not needed? replies?

No shit, hey I have roughly 300 jumps and I want to buy a velocity.... er a xoas. 90 something whatever and I was wondering if you'd help me pick the colors?
-
No, what ridiculous is when you can get a guy with 100 jumps thinking he can handle a 1.4 loaded canopy without any idea of what it takes. And its ridiculous to think just because you have not died under the canopy you have now is an indication that you know what you are doing. And 300 tippy-toe landings since then doesn't mean a thing either, luck its just luck and another thing........

Ever jumped in a foreign country ??
VectorBoy replied to lazyfrog's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Belgium: did static line progression thru FF (Temploux, 18 years ago) Pros: very friendly jumpers, they helped me in english, they cracked up that I live by Perris but I was there learning to jump. Cons: At the time it was just two cessnas a boogie was a german chartered porter. ( now they have a porter I think) Hard to jump in winter. -
Even for the yankees? Count me in moflockers

What was your homebuilt?

What does HD have to do with it? If you were in the saddle and a belly flyer went by you 30~ 40 feet wouldn't you be upset? Or how about a wingsuit? You didn't state if he was in your group out the door or part of another group, or at what alti did you deploy. HD requires extra time and altitude to slow down for deployment and track away from others. This sounds like an awareness situation regardless of how they were flying

I would never consider any of this under an Elliptical canopy, especially a very small one. Chuck So "helicoptering" a moderately loaded cobalt is a deff No~no? I've seen it done by sabre1 flyers and it looks cool.

Scott have you been drinkin TOO much stump liquer again?

Can anybody help identify a round surpus military chute called a tap 656?

So don't get hurt~ if something really bad happened to you it would be very hard on family for a long time regardless. My real answer would have to be not every kid and not at every DZ. But this is your life and they should be involved in your life to. I have taken my 9 year old and she likes it and wants to come back more often. I couldn't do that with my 7 year old its her just personality. They get the thumbs up from some of the staff for behavior. If its family style DZ and they can be trusted yes.

I tell ya...you teach 1 how to sing, and the rest want to be copycats and join in! I thought that Andrea was breeding the budwieser frogs on purpose

I agree, few things as orgasmic as the sound of the entire valley during the reno races, unlimited. This town isn't into sex they didn't put up with thong wearing spring breakers. Its just full snooty geezers, well healed snowbirds, affluent hollywood types and the year around ARTEEEEEEEESTSSS . The sound and smell of high octane avgas or the sight of young tanned, toned and sweet is completely lost on these types.

Don't laugh cessnas and stearmans don't rate there. I watched ( or listened ) as those guys dissed a guy flying a P-51. He should have done a fly by strafing run.

When its too cloudy the guys at elsinore shoot model rockets at a naked man about 200 yards down range, I heard the guy does it for 50 bucks and a case of beer.

i doubt it. Rules dont make anyone do anything. The majority of people i've asked do things because they believe it to be best, not because the rule says they should..often the rules say they shouldnt and they still do anyway... cultural changes & peer pressure to comply are more influential than any written law.. I know many more people that fear a cypress fire & two out much much more than the wrath of the S&TA.
