    Birdman VRW

    It can be done. I have proof.
  2. Happy Birthday, guys. And MOCHA! thanks for the drunk dial from you and Katie! We were sorry we missed it!
  3. Iwan. That boy's helmet leaves a vapor trail. Check this out.

    Sweden. Come.

    I will see you there! And apparently the Lundblad's (Mr.and Ms. Gravity Gear) have warned Sweden that I'm coming. It's all true.
  5. Do the math. A digital stills with DVD package nets me $40, less $5 for a pack job. You are young so pack your own canopy! $25 for a tandem, $25 for an AFF. To continue to get work your work must be good. I have been extraordinarily blessed to have been given the nod by folks on many occasions, but if I had screwed up, that ends. Your reputation will take a while to establish, but you must never screw the pooch if you want to keep getting work. That takes good gear. Thousands of dollars of good gear. A digital video for about $600 on the cheap, and digital SLR for about the same. A solid platform for those is usually not a protec, but I've seen that work. I'm lucky again in that I don't have to buy editing gear but depending on your DZ you may have to get that too. Before that you need at least 200 jumps where you master RW. I know guys freefly tandems, but I just don't think those results are as good. Plus, a good gig is hooking up a 4 way camera slot, and you can't do that in a sit. I'm on a generous pension that includes family healthcare. That's how I can do it. The young guy that I work with, who is full time, lives in a dead RV on the DZ. No phone. No running water. I think it could be done, but you'll need all your ratings, Tandem, AFF, rigger, to keep making some money when it's raining. Good luck, save hard, be good.
  6. Cash price for DVD and digital stills is $110. We are now requiring anybody in rotation to fly a digital SLR in addition to a film camera. -And I just work there, there's a mouse my pocket when I'm saying "we" like I own the place.

    Sweden. Come.

    Hercules Boogie. 2004 http://www.herculesboogie.com/04/ I am officially on the video crew, and GHHolder is organizing. Come to Sweden and jump the Hercules for the price you'd pay to jump out of a Kingair. And jump with me. Saunas, naked Nordic women, naked North American Men , and beautiful scenery. Come and register for the Hercules Boogie. While you still can.
  8. Jeanne, the uniqueness of telling my wife "watch this" while you pick me up for a front yard ride is remarkeable. Check this out: I am the reason you need to get a visa to Sweden. Come to the Herc Boogie, you gorgeous redheaded goddess, I'll be there on the video crew, and the limey is organizing. Come to Sweden, Amazon, come...... JP
  9. Help me out here. Are you in really bad physical shape? If your orthopedist knew you were jumping would they write you off. I like you, dude! That's exceptional. And Exceptionally stupid. Like me.
  10. Yeah, but you are one of the only women I've even known, I dated one other, who looked at me from that unique downward angle. More importantly I am once again temporarily on top of the Porno Pixie in posts. Wrestling with that babe, especially on the eve of her birthday, is a high point in my day. Bwahahaha! I'm out!
  11. I think I should feel either flattered or ugly as hell that when I put pictures of me up I get a ton of PM's telling me to put the little screaming camera flier back up.
  12. Actuallly only the Irish from Ireland, and some English guys can really do great insulting. With that lilting accent it takes a bit to realize you've been called a bogtrotter, and that it's something bad....
  13. Chill, wallster. Here's mine. Buck naked.
  14. Bah. That's just the Superman/Spiderman/Mighty Mouse/Tick color scheme. "Here I come to save the day!" And shit.
  15. Oh, yeah. Any decent Vegan hippie can genetically blend hemp with soy to create a high protien meal that leave you even hungrier after you eat about a dozen of them.
  16. That is the most amazing understatement ever. Bonnie fesses up when it's her, but the astounding and strange sulfur/formaldehyde/deisel/methane creation she shares does indeed have a unique fingerprint.
  17. Hemp tacos. No meat today. It's lent.
  18. Remember the sunscreen. Those nice bright colors can dull pretty easy.
  19. That's just the meds and the lack of ability to chase down your prey.
  20. I knew I'd been slacking. But she's very fun to chase.
