  1. Ok, I lied, I don't have any pictures. Hopefully you guys that attended can post them and any video on this thread to keep them in one place. However, I made a movie from the video that I copied from Deuce over the weekend. This is from Saturday and shows most of the jumps we did. It's about 21MB, so I uploaded it to the FTP site - ftp.skydivingmovies.com. It's currently in the uploads directory until someone moves it - called Dz.comLaborDay' 02.wmv If you want better quality, the next step up in compression pushes the size to 40MB. It's in windows media format (.wmv) so you need a later version of Media player to play it. Hopefully Sebazz can post that killer hyrbid video he has. That is the shiznat!! And Viking, can you post your scanned pics here? Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump

    Vegas Boogie

    I'm not sure, but I will be in Vegas next weekend, so I will drop by if there is anything happening. Please post any details of the event, if indeed it is to take place. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump

    Tube jump

    WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!! What a blast that was. I was part of that tube, and man it was AWESOME!! It was, of course, my initial tube jump, so I had not experienced anything like that before. It started out as being 12 people, but then the DZ manager said that having more than 8 people on the back of the tailgate of the skyvan for more than a few seconds would cause it to stall - so we did 9 instead...LOL The exit was good and it rolled and rolled until about 8K when it broke off. The load organizer communicated well what exactly was going to happen in the dive, breakoff alti, belly flying until breakoff, legs bent, etc... So when it broke off, we all went to our bellies until 5 grand, then tracked off. No incidents in that jump, due to good gear checks, and good communication, and of course - good people. I think I was the low man on this jump with only having 75 jumps. What a RAD weekend, and that was just one of the fun jumps we did. I hope someone has pictures they can post. Butthead: Whoa!

  5. If HE is ME then I sure hope so !!! Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump
  6. I can vouch for one of the handsome guys. I'm not sure about you two, though Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump
  7. Ummm...I'll have what he's having. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump
  8. I totally agree with you Phree. I should have made it more clearer that I was referring to landing areas that are big enough for other jumpers to land elsewhere. If space is limited, then yes, get out of the way as soon as you can. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump
  9. just my .02... But if I am on the ground, after just landing, and some A-hole wants to come land ON my chute or me for that matter, he's gonna have some 'splanin to do. Not always, but usually the guy below has the right of way. If I am there stowing my stuff, chances are there is WAY enough time for him/her to change their landing pattern and avoid me. I too stow my stuff on the ground, and have not had any problems or complaints from other jumpers for "getting in their way". Of course, if I land in the middle of a 10' peas, then of course, I will oblige and move out of the way before stowing. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump
  10. that's really not a valid excuse... temps above 3,000' feet start to feel pretty damn comfortable. But go ahead, and have your fun... I would too!! Just let it be known that you will be missed.

  11. Hey Nate, come to Perris with us on Friday. Lummy has an extra seat on his bus. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump
  12. I have to be on the base also, otherwise I will swoop right past you all!! I do fall like a rock and fast!! I am getting some swoop cords or some wings added to my jumpsuit when I get back from Perris. I have 65 jumps, 90% RW, but unless I am wearing a student suit or FF gear, I aint gonna be turning single points. If I am linked with someone, then I can turn a few. If we do what you guys did for the 2 point 10-way, then I will have no problems. Largest formation was 8 way at Davis, and I feel comfortable doing those and maybe a bit larger - I don't think I want to attempt anything past 16. Anyone have a super floppy old suit or student suit they could let me use for the big ways ? I'm practicing fall rate control, but probably won't have it mastered by this weekend. ...oh, and I'll be there from friday night till whenever Lummy says it's time to go. Butthead: Whoa!

  13. I know who Bill W. is. However, I am better friends with Jimmy K. I've known him for 9 years. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump
  14. WOOOHOOOO!!! oh...and um, in case anybody has any bright ideas.....SHOTGUN !! Sebazz can ride BITCH since he threw us for a loop regarding going or not. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump

  17. I just noticed... That we are 7 people away from 10,000 dz.com members!!! at 9993 right now. Also it looks like we just passed 200,000 posts!! Good job guys and gals!!! Hey HH, you got any ideas for a suprise for the 10,000th member ? Maybe a creative "Welcome" screen or something ?? or let us know who he/she is and we can congratulate them personally. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump
  18. Nah, this is better.... Sebazz sucks.... HIS OWN!!! Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump
  19. I just have one thing to say... YOU SUCK !!! I was looking forward to hanging out with ya. You gotta tell us why you can't make it... there has to be a valid reason.... she better be damn hot and willing to put out!! Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah!

  20. No problem, although there isn't much more there. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=172357; Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump
  21. Wow..I was just looking this up today and bookmarked that thread. Billvon sums it up best: Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump
  22. XP does NOT suck. It only sucks for those who don't know how to use it to the fullest extent. The only complaint I have is ripping CDs... you would think that after the Win2K fiasco, that MS would incorporate ASPI drivers into their OS. Other than that, XP is very solid. Butthead: Whoa!

  23. true true... Thx Jessica! Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump
  24. Simply put, the Cypres has an explosive charge that fires the cutter. It is very unwise to say the word "explosive" in an airport. Just say that it cuts the reserve (period) If they ask how, I was told to show them the card, but never say that E word out loud. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah!

  25. Awwww... I'll be in Vegas the weekend after the Perris trip - September 7-10th. I wasn't planning on jumping, but if anyone familiar is going to be out there, I might just make other arrangements. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah!
