  1. #30- hind sight is 20-20. Hypercolor biker shorts for girls=bad idea!!
  2. www.entertheunderworld.com go to home and have a peek at the trailer and the teaser. Pretty impressive

  4. Let Brian Germain, the creator of high- performance airlockedcanopies, such as the Jedi, the Samurai, the Lotus, and the new Sensei, instruct you on how to be more competent under canopy. Brian is also a world champion freeflyer and will provide one-on-one in air and on the ground coaching. Camp starts on Fri night and jumping through Monday. http://www.archwayskydiving.com/experienced/calendar.htm
  5. In addition to the other advice youve received, also take this into account. If everything goes wrong are you ready to jump the smallest canopy youve ever been under? Not only that. ( I dont know what your student jumps were on) But you should be fully knowledgeable of the fact that F111 DOES NOT land the same as a zero porosity canopy. (I assume PD126R- an F111 canopy). Ive never been to Eloy. But on reputation alone I would think someone has a 126 (or 143 even) reserve you could hook up as your main. If not, I know you can get one from PD. skydiven4fun Brings up an excellent point which Im just realizing after a few hundred jumps. You dont have to do, learn EVERYTHING by your next jump. It wont hurt to wait on that downsize. Unless your planning on quitting soon?! It wont hurt if you decide its best not to hook it in THIS time. Live to downwind the pond another day! for the record- Im not the conservative type(read: DZO points and says "OK dont dont do what that guy is doing"!) Also take into account Im only home because the clubs here stall out at 2:30 and the east side clubs dont pick up until 3:30(burp) And this was a whole lot of typing!
  6. Thats the kind of info I was looking for. Thanks much Andy
  7. Im interested in this myself. My chest strap isnt really that long and I was wondering if youd get alittle better spread with longer risers? Right now its not much of a reach for me to get to the slider
  8. When you check your watch and it says 3:15 you wave off and rip your belt out of your pants
  9. Yore right Marc. I kinda like it that way. It cracks me up. Some people will only buy a Ford no matter how good a Honda is. Oh well to each his own
  10. I wouldve been pissed off too If I realized I couldve had the problem fixed with a simple phone call! After my xfire had the mod performed on it I wasnt as happy with some characteristics as I had been. I e-mailed Simon with my complaint. A day or two later he called and COMPLETELY rectified the matter. Icarus customer service rocks! I believe theyre still the only company with a 30 day guarantee. And I know more than one non Icarus jumper that wished the company they bought their canopies from had that option.
  11. MANUFACTUERER PRODUCT SERVICE BULLETIN Number CW03-01 Http://www.capewell.com/PIAPIN.pdf This is a mandatory service bulletin that everyone with a Capewell Supplied Ripcord Pins and/or Ripcords from November 28th, 2001 through TODAY (July 17th, 2003) must have a test completed. This is a one-time MANDATORY TEST AND IT MUST BE PERFORMED PRIOR TO THE NEXT USE OF THE PARACHUTE SYSTEM. The test and all paperwork takes about 15 minutes. If possible, come on out early today (Friday) and get the test done before the weekend. WARNING: A DEFECTIVE PIN COULD CAUSE A PARACHUTE SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION.

  14. Ill take the credit for this one: (After my first jump)" Are those thingys on the arms and legs of your suit for stability?"
  15. Sorry. Couldnt wait. Its 4:21
  16. (Please visit the Department of Defense web page below and sign in thanking the men and women of the U.S. military services for defending our freedom. The compiled list of names will be sent out to our soldiers at the end of the month. So far, there are only about 3.3 million names. What a shame. National Military Appreciation Month. The entire exercise takes 10 seconds...literally. Please pass it on to your email friends.) [url]http://www.defendamerica.mil/nmam.html
  17. G-Force no question. Hottest cartoon chick close 2nd-Johnny Quest
  18. At 3:15 you look at your watch, wave off and rip your belt out of your pants
  19. good point no telling where one of might land
  20. It was in the initial developement stages when It was jumped at Archway. It definitely worked. It was wobbly. But like I say they were still developing it.
  21. My DZ does allow the "Vladball" but no standard tennis balls.
  22. I can send you some MP3s of house and techno tracks that have a flying or skydiving theme to the lyrics. felixxx9@hotmail.com
