***No, I'm thinking, "I'm SURE he's posted plenty of times that he's 18... that's funny." Quote i did. that's because intil somone reported me at USPA for that pic, no one needed to know me real age. i used to call myself clinton, now i just go by my real name, kelly. it didn't need to be known how old i was, so i could jump at other dropzones.

ya, jonny's good at scaring people, good at digging out sometimes too (not really bad, but has to hit the brakes a little more sometimes) i still got jonny on the longest swoop from beside the fence next to the hanger out to the field. i was proud of that one, i even got a couple people to duck. but then again, greg came up and said if i ever did it again, i'd be grounded for 30 days. jonny kept on doing it, and still does, but since his sister owns the place, he gets away with it. later

that you only have to be 16 to make a skydive, but have to be 18 to compete?? the reason i'm asking is i wanted to compete in the collegiates as a guest (i found out that you do have to be in college). but i got an e-mail from a representative at USPA, and they said that i had to be 18 to compete according the the SCM (skydiver competition manual). so, could someone possibly explain why you have to be 18 to compete in skydiving, but still allowed to jump at 16?? and for those who are thinking "kelly, your only 15 still" i turn 16 monday

he said it was from the sigma tandem rigs, like if the instuctor didn't get low enough in the door sometimes, they would hit the top of the rig. doing so, cracking the window on the cypres. later

ya, i looked around, and couldn't find anything. but i didn't really look all that hard. thanks

i would assume the same thing, since the same guy who designed the tempo designed the smart. i know dominic, he's a friend of mine. and he has told me that the smart has better performance. i mean, the tempo was designed a long time ago, early 90's. they have a lot more technology now. ya, that's what PISA said too, but really if you paid a little extra you could get what ever color you want. i would assume the same goes for the smart. i'm sure if you got enough money, they'll build what ever color you want i would like to jump a 135. see what it's like. but i'm not going to make a special trip to eloy, crosskeys, or perris to jump it. but if i happen to be at one of those places, i may. later

do you have to go to perris to jump it though?? later

i'd be calling relative workshop, and see what they have to say about it. later

What's the farthest you know you have swooped?
skygod7777 replied to Spizzzarko's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
i really have no clue. i'm guessing into the 290's. the only one that i have measured was one that was into the wind, on a 240' course. i took the whole coarse (not like high above the ground, i could drag my toe if i wanted) and it was about 8 to 10 mph head wind. so downwind, or no wind, i have no clue, but i'm guessing 280, 290. who knows. later -

see, my dad won't let me do that. i get to buy my own car upfront, and pay for my insureance. no help either. it's not too bad, i know i'll treat it better since i have to pay for it, but it still sucks that i can't get any help with it. oh well later
-

-
damn, i was reading a couple of these, and you guys are mean. i mean, really, it's not that bad. you can't tell me you didn't do all the same stuff when you where a kid?? and your parents may of done all this to you, but man, you don't have to be like them do ya. later
-

get her to start jumping, and then once she has made a few, tell her that if she doesn't start bringing her grades up, she can't jump anymore. that's what my dad does to me (except i was already jumping) and trust me it works well. i have a 3.0, and never skip school anymore. the only time i miss school is when i go on a jumping trip, which is why i have to keep good grades. later

a couple different cables. all cables that work with other camera's too. it's odd, when we hook it up to the imac to like edit the video, it locks it up (the computer). later

and they don't carry the right camera battery charger for my camera. later
