I don't really care about what the guy is trying to accomplish - I was taught to cut that shit away immediately. Your ass is more important than your main.) I'm just trying to keep something like this from happening to me. All of your possibilities are real. Equipment within manufacturers spec's, proper maintenance, and good gear checks will help prevent this. I have been thru something similar, and my guess is that the pin was out or close to, prior to exit.

Can I go? dzmemories namgrunt nannerbanner popsjumper sharimcm UpNDown notice it in alphabetical order

Uhhhmmmm do I say it???? thanx Andy!!!

SkyFest 6 was by far the best in its history. The event is not about being the largest it is about quality. We want to thank each one of you, including the manufacturers and sponsors that make this event a huge success. Nothing can happen without it, and we thank you for your contributions. Of course SF will still cater to the newer jumper while still offering the experienced some great skydives! We have arranged with the local military to have a couple of F-16s do the opening ceremony for SkyFest 7, as well as an Apache and the Coast Guard will show up with static displays. Items in the works: Beach Jumps Wed and Thur. Team Fastrax Steerman bi-plane Texas SkyFlock!

of course riding it out till 2k could waste time needed to fix a malfunctioning reserve.

Yes, met the closing agent for the first time and about tem minutes into it I asked her when she was due. She she gave birth two months ago I think my intrest rate went up.

Skydive dallas in 2001. believe it or not, my mother's USPA number is 420!

SkyFest was created with you in mind. We had more vendors and AC than anyone else in 2006. You need ot figure out what you want from the boogie. If its about the party then SF 7 is not the best place. If its about Skydiving, free coaching, safety, equipment and aircracft then SF would be a great place. LP and WFFC are great events! MOAB, Couch Freaks, the list goes on. Its like buying your equipment, figure out what is important to you and find the event that fills those needs. So dont forget to research them. Here I will help you get started..www.skyfestboogie.com Which ever you decide, be safe and stay aware when in the air!! J

Damn why did you do that?// I only started 3 years after you... Well thats if you dont count the jumps Sherry made with me in 1967 Dude~~~ I feel many a cockatilliooos coming our way in Feb. Maybe one for each year....ehhh congrats!

Your fired!!

So the therapist is a jumper too? He just jumps on Mondays and Wednesdays.

As long as the rig has not hit the cutting stage of production you may add the SkyHook to the container. Disclaimer

QuoteA Mirage container sized 18 19 +1 will fit what sort of person?? I am 5'9" - 160lbs about an 18MLW based on measuring myself. Do you think it will be a good fit?Quote Something doesnt look right to me. I thought Mirage put their Leg pad size first then the MLW. The 19+1 should be the MLW which looks right but an 18" LP is reall small. I am 6'1" and wear a 19" MLW for the Javelin. My guess is that you are closer to a 17"MLW. But agian its been a few years since I have dealt with Mirage sizing. Must be getting old, losing my memory. Maybe someone will chime in and help us both??

Nahh that cant be true....All I ever see is SkyFest chat. Tell them to get their facts straight. The boogie is July 11 to the 16th in Spaceland!!! And as we all know "its the dates Skinny has been waiting for" So you continue your hijacking, I have no problems with it.. I could not resist

Thats a bummer for both well I guess I have to drink an extra beer for you at both events. be safe out there and find those boobies for me.....

Boobies? Oh yes thats it!!! How could I forget those?? Back to searching....... How are ya mike?

So digging up a 2 or 3 year old thread wasn't so bad after all. Except justaflygrl is probably getting a ton of emails now from everyone responding to her again. I was searching for something else when I saw this. Figured since I was single again, why not? Now I cant remember what I was searching for?

As a jumper; the porter, just cause it was so damn much fun...Slow, fast, and a great climb rate....just a great A/C. C195 out at Mullins place, big 450 PW if I am not mistaken. Great A/C to add to the log book. Would love to jump some of the others you listed to add to the 39 A/C I have already logged. As a DZO Grand Caravan.....a proven A/C....need I say more? great post

Maybe there should be two SkyFests? So we have agreed, booth help is on the way????

We can charge to raise money for the scholarship For some reason, I feel you'll be saying that again. and again, and again...repeat.....

Oh... I like that one. Hmmmm, feeling like I should never open the SF booth

bwahahahahahaha - as if that'd work. Oh, and J....nope...no naked boobies from me. Thats ok, you know me, its not all about the boobs....butts are good too! No really, I hope you can make it. It would be great to see you again.. J off to see the dentist aaaarrrggggg

I stand corrected, your right! July or not If you need help J, just let me know. I probably won't be jumping much while I'm there... OK, let me rephrase that... I won't be skydiving much, but I will make a jump or two. I dont get to skydive much either....There is always time for jumping though Need sign: Booth Closed......Gone Jumping!!!! Will be back....well.. when we get back....

Whoops! Thanks for not posting that one. I had a request for more visible boobs during SF from the wingsuit folks. Looking for volunteers. Do I need to say......Free Registration? Of course I will always need help at the booth. I am sure hot women in the booth would not offend anyone. Of course I wont object either

hmmmmm is she saying something? Sometimes my ears interfer with my brain, or is it the other way around, maybe its my eyes. life is gooodd....... maybe I will enjoy being single again...........for a bit
