  1. I have to disagree with the skygod tendencies at Skydive America. I went there the Sunday before Rantoul without knowing anybody there, and as soon as I finished filling out the waiver I was invited on a 4 way freefly jump. There was one person there who I thought would be the ultimate skygod (preconcieved notion), so I didn't even bother trying to talk to him. On the busride to the plane he started chatting with me about my home DZ, bunch of stuff like that, and ended up giving me some freefly tips and ground coaching. Overall it's a really cool and fun DZ, with a laid back, friendly attitude, and a fast plane. It's a long drive for me, but I'll probably be heading out every week for a day or two after my freefly suit arrives so I can get some coaching.

  3. Try going back to ftp://ftp.skydivingmovies.com/public/CODECS/ and grab the ACE codec pack, that should work for most of the videos -- Hook high, flare on time

    Thanks Merrick, I couldn't wait for an answer on the forums so I asked Pammi in the Pub, and she explained it to me. -- Hook high, flare on time
  6. So this week at Atlanta Air Sportz I had a bag lock on the first jump. I threw out got stood up, looked up, gave the risers a little shake and the rubber band snapped. Whew, Cutaway #4 narrowly avoided. Whew 82 days left to go -- Hook high, flare on time

    Week Jump

    I did, but uhm,I guess you knew that already.. Thanks for hooking me up with Atlanta Air Sportz, I had a great time. Was really nice to meet Becky too. Why are all the skychikkies so far from me? -- Hook high, flare on time

    Week Jump

    I went up to Georgia with the former boss, (hence why I was asking for GA DZs the other day.) Well, I went to Atlanta Air Sportz, and damn what a cool dropzone. I wasn't expecting it to be busy during the week, but they were doing back to back loads. And they've got a kickass pond. Beer for my first Dirt-Water-Dirt x2.

    jumper burnt out

    I'd offer but I'm about 700 jumps shy of being even remotely qualified. Well damn, you'd be plenty qualified to give me some FF coaching.. -- Hook high, flare on time

  15. I bet that after the WFFC Rhino has a new screenname and is liked here at DZ.com. All it takes is everyone to know and understand each other. I am sure by the end of WFFC Rhino will feel kind of stupid for the chaos he caused. He is probably a pretty cool guy! JelloBitch -- Hook high, flare on time

  19. [replyMy post was like a stab in the heart. Instead of emberassing him I kind of went overboard. I am not out to kill someone. I am hear to have fun and make people laugh. We had a confrontation, and we both settled on our reactions and backed off. If everyone was like us there would not be a need for Moderators on Dropzone.com. Yeah, it was pretty cool how you two (of all people) managed to work out your differences. On a related note, Rhino is at the WFFC, and from what I've heard he seems to be a pretty cool guy IRL. what next? WildBlue and Jessica getting along? Nah, thats too far-fetched..

    I'm not very familiar with RWS products, so please forgive me for a stupid question, but you have a 170 Main/Reserve in a Micron? I thought they were for smaller canopies, or am I totally misunderstanding? -- Hook high, flare on time
  21. HH's Paypal link is listed in The Pub Very small price to pay for all the time and money he spends on this site. I used to use Paypal as an ebay'er, but stopped awhile ago... www.paypalsucks.com -- Hook high, flare on time
  22. My idea: The Da Vinci Parachute design kindof large, and in a half-tint as the background, with the swooper going through it, with some splashing effects incorporated into the Da Vinci background. -- Hook high, flare on time
  23. What the shit is this? you two sound like a friggin sitcom.. Major confrontation and then all is fixed and perfect in a half hour..
  24. Whew, I was starting to think I was the only one also. -- Hook high, flare on time
