  3. both Kebe and Sean Mcormick (of AFI) teach skysurfing at Eloy. My roomate is taking lessons from Kebe and was standing on her first jump. I dont skysurf (yet) but have had lot of FF coaching from Sean and he is a great teacher too... (it is nice that they are number 1&2 in the US too ) ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  4. i'm with clay.. i did 5 years in the Army, but it was just time to move on to the world of godless contractors, so i still spend 80% of my work days out in the field with the soldiers. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

    First BASE rig

    a really good article. i really like that lots of what he said echoes what i was told by the BASE types i've asked.. for containers i'm looking at Bombproof Rigging (i love being able to stick my head in and watch and discuss them being made.) ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  6. hey your ready for the casa grande exerience..dodging whales in wal mart is apparently pretty common for bored skydivers wandering into town... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  7. one is guessing you mean bannana formation loads.. ive got an RW suit but 6 loads MAY be more air than i can handle on my belly in one day.. any plans for FF formations? we had one planed to fill the ends of the last formation loads but it fell thru when the formation stood down ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  8. Mirage...I currently have an older G3 and i love it. I cant wait till i can get one made to fit me.. i would say a lot of the FFers I see who buy their own rigs have Mirages.. cant really say for the belly flyers although I know of one team that just got pretty new G4s… the G4s are really cool, but i dont want all the webby stuff...good thing it comes off.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  9. wwwhhhaaa.... i'm in WA which is good, but i wish i were in Eloy too which is bad since there is only one of me, but just imagine the fun if there were more have fun and kiss all the AFI guys i'm sure they'll bitch loudly... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

    Open wound

    the next line is something to the effect of "your tears wont fall forever" the irony is now falling forever is a really cool idea.. amazing how skydiving has changed so many definitions.. OH yeah...we jump in Eloy more than they do in TX... come to Eloy...everyone come to Eloy....dove in particular.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

  17. dude. were you jumping at Eloy this weekend? 12(hours till i'm off to WA, and can check out Kapowsin):9:1 very windy...a good day to downsize (as planned anyway) but too windy by mid day... sinking in every landing isnt so fun..some of the low turns into the wind happening where frightening to watch lots of fun dives tracking in high uppers is really really fast fun.. 1st jump on a 170 not alot different than my 190 with the winds we had but i cant wait to play with it on normal days. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

  19. an Irish car bomb is made from three Irish intoxicants. Guiness 3/4 pint (roughly) Baileys Irish Cream 1 shot Irish Whisky (Bushmills a good standard) 1 shot make sure the cream is in a double glass that fits into the pint glass. pour the whisky into the cream, drop it into the guiness and drink till you see sky. it really does taste very very chocolaty at the bottom and is a really warming drink. 3 with beers and i have trouble walking straight.... 5 has been known to cause a 'ruckas' mattresses are still missing least the evidence incriminate anyone ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  20. oh yeah! you on the eloy list? someone has to hlep me inflict some car bombs on other unsuspecting types. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  21. and Triathlons? wow. i can run for several hours playing soccer, but just running always seemed to annoy me..
  22. have you run one? i never could, 12 miles is about the point i'm completly bored with running and need to do something else. i could see like hiking 26.2 miles if the scenery was cool but i just can keep running that long without a really good reason
  23. but i've already got one you see wearing it now actually... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  24. i been reading lots of BASE incidents and jump logs lately and was wondering if there is a standard way to determine the fall delay? given that some jumpers will be better trackers than others what do you use as an average acceleration rate?
