  1. Any lady that'll wrap around him it sounds like Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team
  2. Hey Chris! Statesboro, eh? I heard rumors of a DZ out there but I haven't had a chance to jump there yet. Nice place? Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team
  3. I've jumped at Thomaston, Monroe and The Farm. All three were great for people vibe so I'll take that out of the equation. I decided to make Thomaston my home when I moved here the beginning of this year but my take on all 3. Thomaston Roaringly fast king air (8 mins to 14500 every time, airconditioned with music). Good freefly scene with some great talent available every weekend. Huge hanger. Showers and bathroom facilities. Block rates. The more jumps you buy, the cheaper it gets. Huge landing area. Monroe They now have a Beach (I think or a queen air, something like that - the King Air is kaput). Small indoor packing facilities. Relaxed pace (i.e. can be slow jumping). No discounted/block jumps. Period. Good size landing area, but it's inbetween runway and trees. The Farm Cheap jumps $14 for guys. Long ass bus ride to the take off area (10 mins). Slow planes. Great pond. Lots of places to land, but surrounded by trees which can make things choppy sometimes. Huge Hanger. No showers (yet, they're building them). Relaxed vibe. There is one other dropzone that's got decent facitilties. The people are great, but the management is constantly surrounded by controversy (read the 1800 skyride stuff) and their landing area is horrible. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team
  4. Why do you guys still buy their products then? There are other good manufacturers out there. I'm confused why you'd all put up with this crap. I'm sure if the owners of Icarus started losing business they'd step up to the plate. What you gonna do when you need new lines? Wait another 3 months? Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team
  5. Speeds are also average speeds for that altitude range (stated on their website). If you're moving up and down on a group your speeds will differ. In addition speed readings can easily vary, especially when the unit is placed in a helmet - head movement can create different pressure readings. Speed skydivers get false speed readings all the time (and they use protrack) which is why they now place the units on their harness. As for the audible part, I'd contact Alti-2 immediately.

  6. Our little boy is all grown up. I gotta say he had me laughing with the last comment. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

  12. What a lovely mental picture you have left me for today.....mmmmm...dominatrix Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team
  13. I believe it's a cross between the 2. There's a fine line between being overly aggressive and not aggressive enough. I have had the most success with a turn aggressive enough to get the canopy diving to build speed and then manage that speed through the turn to keep it as "shallow" (just for you Steve ) as possible without sacrificing the speed generated until ready for the plane out. Basically faster start, slower end. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team
  14. ooohhhhh, details??? Registration cost, events, etc? As for the swoop, I have to agree with the others. Smoother, gentler input will take you farther. Looking good though. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

  16. Got it to work, just had to download it first. Guess it didn't like streaming Performance Designs Factory Team
  17. Gave me an error trying to watch it. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team
  18. Hmmm..not sure if it's the same guy but if his brother works @ E.P. Skydivers, that's the one. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team
  19. Yes I do. He has over 2000 jumps last I jumped with him in SA. He used to work for Chute Shop as well so Piers Littleford (now at RWS can vouch for him too). His brother works at EP Skydivers in Grahamstown, South Africa. PM me if you need any additional info. Is he still in SA, or is he here now? Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team
  20. I didn't imply that it didn't happen. I was just thanking him for passing along his story but saying that I had, personally, not experienced anything like that. Nothing more, nothing less. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team
  21. Thanks for passing that info along. I can't really relate as I've always had great service from them, but I'm sorry to hear your experience wasn't what you expected. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team
  22. Well, lets hear what your experience was with them then. I'd definately like to hear what happened. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team
  23. Please tell me you're not actually saying she should take a substance she has a known allergy to? Performance Designs Factory Team
