  6. Thanks Jaime for taking the time away from your family and in this trying time to put an end to any rumors that may have been going around in regards to your Familys 20th boogie! It's a shame you have to take time to even make such a post. To bad some people have nothing better to do than try and compete /bad mouth a long standing midwest tradition. So yea all you slackers get your boogie shoes on and move it on over to an orginal, "THE" Boogie!

  10. Yep Larry, you got that right, she always had to stop and smile for my lens every year @ the boogie. I'm surprised more people don't seem to know who were talking about here. If you ever jumped a early Sweethog theres a good change MOM built it or did all the sewing. If you ever attended a Richmond The Boogie, then you saw MOM doing what she did best running the show! Maybe these attacments will help some to remember her. In 30 some years of DZO'ing she and Dad have touched a lot of peoples lifes.
  11. Good question, I wouldn't know I spent my time at Perris weekday and weekend. But would have only taken 30 mins or so to make the short drive to Lake smellsmore. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

  16. I'm not going to say the DZ teaches this way or that way. What I will say is that I teach two hands this is a throw back to the old days of two hands needed for shot and half capwells and eyes on your reserve ripcord, kind of went like this: look locate right, look locate left, pull both dust covers and thumbs in loop,eyes on handle, bend at waist, pull both (make sure both pulled) and pull & punch while left arm covers capewells. (unless you got the cool throw aways) Watch the pretty canopy deploy and listen to the rubber bands release. Of course this became easier to do with one shots and r-2, r-3's and then the 3-ring. For me the thinking of still using two hands a handle and eyes on ripcord stayed, one you can strip the cables competely clear of the housings as you reach arms length and throw it away, then reach and pull reserve handle,toss & arch. I still teach two hands, it has always worked for me for many years in teaching and many student cutaways, so as I see it, it's not broken so why try to fix something that is not broken, besides that you never know when you'll have a hard pull on a handle. The first time you find that you dropped it and cutaway only half, you quickly find it very interesting trying to locate the floating handle and finish the task at hand! (it's even more exciting at a 1000 ft and no cross connectors, so I've heard and seen) But hey, to each there own, I know what way I'm going to use the next time, same as the last time. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

  22. I'am very sorry to have to say my best friends for the last few years have just lost their mom yesterday. Please keep the Stewart family in your thoughts and prayers as they deal with this huge loss to their family. The skydiving community as a whole has lost one great supporter and friend in Jane "Mom" Stewart. Mom Stewart was a good friend to all her family & "sky children" and all around great person, whom I was blessed to call a friend. Our little corner of the skydiving world won't be the same with out you MOM, Go west ma, go west.......blue skies. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

  25. If everything gose right I plan to arrive on the 29th and stay till the 3rd. So yes I hope to be there durring the week, there is a lot of wart rigging to get done. If you want to be on the "all round load" we usually do that jump on Saturday late afternoon almost sunset, that has been the traditional time for the jump. However I do have a couple that need test jumped before that so sure if you want do one during the week, we can hook you up! There could be a slot open for tandem videos again, if your game this year, free jumps and 35 a vid+35 for stills.
