Well I'll give an example, I was able to find a second hand Alti II for about $100 on Ebay. The rest I've been lucky with friends who were either selling gear or gave away gear. But if you come across something that a new student should have and it's of a good price and value please post it up.

I hear the same complaint from many new jumpers as myself. Wow...how can I afford all this and still get jumps in? For those of us who jump when we have the time and money and have only been in the sport for a very few years it's not the easiest climb unless we are living at home with mom or are very well to do. Thus I propose if anyone finds any decent beginner gear be it suits or alti's and other odds and ends on Ebay to please post them on this link. Yes I know we have the classifieds but that's a finite market, maybe more viable products can be found via the global market. After all as a new guy I would rather spend more money on coached jumps than say a newish jump suit.

May I suggest something a little different. Other than clean the house? If it's ok with the repair guy have her help him carry the garbage out of the room and new material back in. Not only will she realize the physical destructive capabilities of fire but may learn a thing or two about home repair. You may even want to buy her a tool belt....I think they make pink ones! Who knows she may like it so much she may become a civil engineer? Also why not both of you volunteer for the local red cross collecting goods for those who have lost their homes to fire or other. And yeah, give her a hug man....she's your kid and yeah she did something dumb but she could have died and well...that would not have been good.

I was in meetings all day on Friday, checked my black berry this morning....well what do you know....another bank fee for assuming my mortgage and taking my X wife's name off the condo i hate...woo hoo! Well looks as if MetLife home loans in entitled to make a profit and I will have to ensure that they continue to make that profit. So no new car. Not this year. Such is life. Well it was a nice thought. That 1 series was a nice car and the payments were not too bad on a certified pre owned.

Mutual funds pay how much! Ah the car I have now has about 105k miles. I'm taking for it's next oil change check up. So far she is OK. I bought her in 02 and it's almost 12. I take care of my cars. If it wasn't for...paying someone else's collage bills...yeah i would have been doing better than I am now. The care I'm looking at is an 08 certified preowned @ 1% interest rate from the bank or 3.3% from my retirement fund. I'm still thinking. And how much are mutual funds poping now? 12%! Where!

Sorry mate, nothing to donate...but I'll bring the beer if I can get out there?

My mom hates it. But she hates my bike more. She thinks i'm going to go in.....eh....she could be right. Who knows. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

Yeah we will see...but it should be a nice car. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

I'm very good to my cars. She would have done well with me...but emotionally I was just not ready. They really did a good job with that car... Right now i'm thinking second had 1 series. One of the dealers just called me about a M1. I hope it's a stick. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Why would you rub their backs? There aren't any boobies on their backs. Work the back to get to the front! OK most girls who work out and have perky boobies....aka the girls I like....tend to have very stiff muscles right around their shoulder blades. Sometimes even the tendon will have slipped out. If you know what you are doing, and well I DO KNOW WHAT I'm doing, you can work her back and slowly slide that tendon back into place. You know you did a good job when she says one of three things 1) wow my arm...it feels so much better how did you do that? 2) Oh that felt bad but in a good way and my neck feels so relaxed now? 3) TAKET THOSE PANTS OFFF NOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!! Before I became an engineer I actually wanted to be a doctor. Loved how the human body was assembled and how beautiful it is not only in design but also in function.

This I KNOW I'M GOOD AT! Key is knowing how muscles are attached and how they run as well as warming up your hands first. Amazing how nutty girls get when you give them a good back rub and front rub..... Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Pokerstar Thank you but, sadly it's a bit late. I walked away from the deal. Just didn't feel right, emotionally. Mechanically the car was gorgeous! That flat 6 behind ones head...oh did it sing! Loved the way that car sounded. But as my only modes of transport...i wasn't 100% and as I said...i wasn't emotionally there. Hell I can't even commit in a relationship at the moment how could I commit to a car that nice! But by god it's a very nice car! There will be many sleepless nights where I'll lay there regretting not buying her. But such if life.

He wants to ride in NYC, why would you need a 600CC bike in NYC? If I lived in NYC.....god I wished I lived in NYC....and worked there I would rock the Jet Black Vespa no problem! They are comfortable, stable, hold their value and the well educated world traveler long legged flat bellied, perky boobied hotties dig the Vespa! And it is frugal with respect to gas consumption. The Spider works in cities for well...you can buy it in a slush o matic and it has reverse gear doesn't take much parking and you just sit on it. It also has a pretty smart computer with traction control as well as stability control. Add to it that it's very stable on uneven roads, NYC roads are shit, and it would work....but parking it is a bitch. OR you can buy a very nice second hand 250 to start or if you are on the heavier side a 500. But please make sure you spend money on good gear to keep you safe.

But she said it wasn't a tandem. No one said she was smart right? Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

Just saying buddy! And you know it's true. Now that jump for the cause...that's really cool! Still don't get it...jumped free? HU? Free of what? Charge? Clothes? Free----fall?

I've only heard of free naked tandems... not just cuz she was cute but cute AND naked. I know of 3 girls who have gotten free tandem rides. Clothes on and all and nothing was exchanged. Like I said before, 52 dudes and 2 chicks....when a girl shows up she may get treated better at a DZ than she would at high security prison wearing nothing more than edible undies and a fist full of pardons.

If she was cute....maybe she did get a free ride. I know of a few cute girls who have gotten a few free tandem rides. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

Shah are you sure you like girls? See Shrop and my posts up thread about this type of transport I do like the Petshop boys, I like dance music, I do dress well and smell well and practice yoga....I am shallow as all fuck..... I'll be signing up for the Rainbow Boogie next year ;-) I know I know...but look if you are living in NYC. You don't need to do a million miles an hour! I mean sure we can say get a Busa or a nice ZX-14 or hell even a nice 500CC Ninja. Two of the three will kill you fast! But for NYC, the Spider not only has heated seats and grips, but also has a trunk and plenty of room for that size 6 girl you will have sitting on the back! And since you can't lain split here in NYC it’s a non issue! The Vespa, look that little thing moves! 0-40 is quick on that little Italian toaster! The thing is a blast to drive and easy as hell to park. There are lots of aftermarket parts and support for it and let's not kid ourselves Vespas have been known to cause women's panties to spontaneously explode! I have no idea? But as a very well informed female friend of mine put it, "It's like a sexy designer pair or pumps, but unlike sexy designer shoes, it doesn't hurt your feet and you get to wrap your arms around your man when you are on it." ps I

For city riding? REALLY! NYC! You do know it gets cold here right! OK I may have to hand in my man card for this but.... here are two bikes I would own if i live in NYC. 1) http://www.photosot.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/09_Can-Am_Spyder_SE5_front.jpg Hate to say it but after i rode it I was impressed! MY GOD! What a fun ride! 2) http://uncrate.com/p/2009/01/vespa-gts-300.jpg Almost bought one for the X so that I could ride it! NO JOKE it's a great ride! And the attention this thing get's is a freaking blast! And the people who ride them are all up tight little hipsters that you can always grab by the ankles and swing over your head as if they were some sort of skinny, skinny jeans wearing, scarf wearing battle axe. But all things considered, please put aside cash for proper gloves, jackets and do not forget the boots!

To my Soth West sales rep...HAPPY FREAKING BIRTHDAY! Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

WORST SHOW EVER! My god! It's like 1.75 men! Now there is one looser and two kids. I think they will just try and save it via sending in a few very attractive girls but.....in the end...it's just shit! Though last one had Jenny McCarthy and that was not too rough on the eyes

Broken Tib/Fib, AFF-8. I don't think an PLF would have even saved me. We think it was equipment problems. But a year after I was back in the air. And so far, knock on wood, very good! No broken bones. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

Mine was updated. The tail edge is free. And yeah it was just a timing issue. Had two good soft stand up landings and one slider.....hit a bit of a speed bump on final....sky kind of fell out at 50ft an well came in a little faster than I would have liked. But yeah all is good, thanks for the help. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.
