  1. FYI: We actualy did a 120 way 3 point dive the day before, however we did not hold the 2nd point long enough to show a completion on video. Bummer. I guess we'll just have to go bigger next year. Tell Kate she needs to get another one together, the last one was fun and the photo is great! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  2. and boy my arms are tired! Seriously Z-Hills rocks (nice pond!), as do the jumpers there! Thanks for those that gave me advice on where to stay, and if anyone here doesn't read the General Skydiving Forum, on April 19th, 2003 we turned two points on a 120 person formation, setting a new world record! What an experience! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  3. Mary, It was worth it just to get that "special" salute you had for me on the two minute call! What an amazing time, huh? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  4. What an experience! My thanks go out to Guy, Boxman, Gareth, Louie, Marku, Derick, Mike, the support team, Z-hills, the pilots, and especially the other 119 people on the record with me! It was a week of some of the most intense, and tiring skydiving, and in the end we prevailed! Amazingly enough all the jumpers rallied together after we had a 3 point 120way pulled out of our grasp because we did not hold the 2nd point long enough to show on video. Something like that could have killed the spirit of the event, but the organizers did their job motivating us, and we were determined enough to set a new record! Thank you again to all involved! Here's to next year! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  5. Be there for the big way, see you all on Tuesday. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

  7. Heard this story before. IIRC someon lost control of a aircraft they were hand proping (starting) and it was not chocked, no brakes set or they failes, and it walked itself right you the ass end of the aircraft you see. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  8. Pull out bridles ar usualy shorter just to reuce bulk in the container. It's "enough" to get the job done. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  9. Are they paying? I'm not really like that. Really. You all have to believe me. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  10. Just got my first shipment of them and I think they are outstanding. Comfortable, and stylish. About as good protection as anything else out there. Very nice finish, my only compaint is the mini seat belt type buckle on the chin strap. Over kill if you ask me, but functional. PM me if you have any more questions... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  11. Checked already $89 a night, and the skydiver discount is $75 and change. The Cristal Springs is $315 for a week, and has a kitchenets Siesta is only $185 but sounds scarry. -jp- ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  12. Ahem...? (pease no bids lower than .05 cents!) ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  13. Was this person trying to sell you something else? Wings are fine rigs, not very atractive IMO (flame on) but quality is top notch. Now on the other hand Infinitys are the best of both worlds! *duck and cover* ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  14. Thought about that and if it was not a boogie weekend, I'd probably do it, but I hate standing in line for a shower! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

  17. Ah but you forget, Davis is expecting another aircraft this year, as well as the specialty ones brought in for events. Hmmmm..... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  18. Who? Me? Why would you think that? I'm just trying to kiss some greenie A$$ so I can run amok around here! *running in circles shouting "AMOK! AMOK! AMOK!"* ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

  21. Actualy there are at least two manufacturers that will build custom sized canopies. One of them is Precision Aerodynamics, and the other is Icarus. Get what feels comfortable and to hell with hitting a precise wing loading. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
