indeed. I've got a brand new Infinity in Kelly's loft getting packed with parachutes for the beer time..if you can afford the drive (and with the price differences you probably can) stop in and check them out..very solid freefly rigs, great customer service and you can get all the bells and whistles on it for much less than an odyssey.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

might it not also be a reference to Fayetteville NC? home of the largest "dropzone" in the world. did you see what state the truck was from?? I've seen several 'from' Ft.

track like a bad ass.... was just listening to NPR yesterday talk about the one frame of "falling guy" from WTC that looked 'serene' in a HD position.. you can bet if i jumped i'd be trackingfor a low window on a nearby building... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

i guess they just dont understand they arent flying anything..they are simply driving it....the plane does all the flying.. i always ask the rock climbers "but if its not about falling, why are you wearing a rope? i mean if you can do it you dont need the rope and if you need it because you dont think you can then you probably arent ready for that route anyway..." then i go screaming past them collecting a little ground rush on the HD rappel... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Well what's the big hurry? there isnt any 'hurry' but you wont get on some of the 'more interesting' dives unless you have the skills, the sooner you develop them the sooner you might be invited to play with the 'big boys'. As with everything else its a matter of focus, you can spend 200 jumps laughing in the skies doing 'easy belly 2 ways' and having an absolute blast, or you can spend 200 jumps with the focus on specific flying skills and still have an absolute blast its all about what you want out of it, and where you'd like to take it.. every coach i've ever paid for a dive has also taken the time out to jump, play and advise when they werent on a 'dedicated' coach jump ive done more 'fun' jumps with them than coached jumps, but there is a definitive difference of focus as well, but its important to remember for most of them skydiving is their profession and we 'give back' in the same way by supporting their livelihood as they support our continuing education is there a difference in 'fun level' for someone who does 3000 jumps in 3 years vs 3000 jumps in 10?? its all about your personal preferences, some people like to immerse more than others ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Felix "god of the skies" perhaps?? havent met either, but everyone who i've talked to about Olav said he is a really great guy and that lots of the BS you hear about him is taken way out of context ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Good point, but I agree with Erica. I think what you're really worried about, like a typical male, is that it will be cold and if you get nekkid you won't be properly represented in the "male" region... I think everyone is missing the 'dark' part of the level.. if you dock close enough to check on my maleness you can be sure there wont be a problem representing..tis the land of lust after all.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

heh.. that might be the understatement of the year... i just had a friend who scoffed at the "greatest bassist ever" title...till she heard Continium ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

I am not a big fan of buying coach jumps. never had them and never asked someone to pay for my jumps. get through aff and seek out the older skydivers. buy them a beer or two might help. which is a great way to learn, but you really have to find the right individual thats willing to take their personal time (and jumps) without direct monetary compensation to focus on your training. Paid coaches do that as a matter of course, sure you can get great instruction and learn an amazing amount from 'your friends' but when it comes down to it dedicated (paid or other wise compensated) coaching (in any sport) is the most effective way to improve your skills in a short period of time.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

What? You mean it was shit. Like the star wars saga? perhaps except that the 'building' movie in the SW saga (the new marketing drivel doesnt qualify as 'saga') was the best one... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
