  1. You ever simulate a night jump? A really, really dark one?
  2. Am I the only guy who reads all Sangiro's posts in a Darth Vader voice?
  3. OMG that is the funniest one, ever.
  4. That's a girl, Santa. And I could use more friends like her
  5. Funny. You sound just like him.
  6. Yes. Yes I did. And you can only talk to me like that if you let me sit in your lap and stroke my hair. JT, Connie looks like a kid in a baby carrier on some of these guys. And yeah, she rocks.
  7. I misplaced this file, but I'm happy I found it today. It's Fireflyr on his level 1 AFF, with GHolder and Hookitt! Great expression, but TIMMEH! very politely coached me about distracting the students. Sorry TIMMEH!, but the picture is still priceless!
  8. Drew, the .3 Diamond that I have can be "bump-zoomed" until it no longer catches my ringsite on my older camera helmet. You can always zoom some, but there's not much you can do if it's not wide enough in the first place. If you are coming out to Eloy, I'll let you see if my .3 or .5 Diamonds would solve your dilemna.
  9. OMG. This lesson hard learned: Never get really drunk on a DZ. Everybody has a camera. -Still fun though
  10. You're cracking me up JT, check the picture again, SHE is the TM, HE is the student. Connie is the goddess of tandemry. And no, the guy understood and wasn't mad. I comped all the footage that I got, they left pretty happy. Edit: Mike, it was Friday. It was solid overcast Friday and Saturday, but it was at like 15,000 feet.
  11. Very nice Peter! Are you using your 14 for tandems? Nice shots. I checked out your American Boogie trailer, real nice as well. I'm glad you were able to use that inside video of the Ponce loads. Kinda makes up for your video of me going low
  12. No way I can pass that up! MonoUno will probably have that thing on his BirdBelly mount most of the time, but one night I'll show you how to transfer firewire over some really important video when you're drunk, though!
  13. Of course! My comrades thought it was funny as hell! Here, I'll demonstrate my tragedy with pictures! That's GirlFallDown in the plane laughing at me hanging on with one hand trying to make room on the step for the tandem. My view of the strut when I got out, and my final view of the tandem. I ended up paying my own slot and donating a tape for what we got, but the guy and his Mom (birthday jump) both tipped me anyway, so I was up a pack job when it was all over.
  14. Oh, I actually love the Cessna, I was just having a helluva time hanging on to it in the rain. The Cessna is a jungle gym with a propellor. Get out there and hang from all the parts, the strut, the wing, the landing gear! We pulled a 5 way chunk out of it Saturday that was fantastic. It's easy to hang on when it's dry. Go play!
  15. That's brilliant. And yeah, it was pretty wet video. AggieD, the TM asks "Are you ready to skydive?", not "Are you ready to skydive and experience mild discomfort?" And she's a veteran, she hides behind the passenger when moistures starts giving the high-velocity facial scrub.
  16. The damn Cessna! We get to altitude, and I see and hear rain hitting the stupid plane, I'm up front so I look at the thermometer and it's 38F. Joy. The pilot calls DOOR! and there's freaking SLEET outside the plane. Whatever. I'm doing a tandem video so I step out and the step is so slippery my foot goes right off. I slide my foot down the gear to the tire, keeping it in front and take my grip on the strut, I slide out to my spot and then my hands go sliding down the strut and now I'm sitting on the step, and the TM has no way to get the passenger out. I try to adjust my position but everything is slippery as hell and BLAM! I'm off the plane. No way to get the passenger out quickly, so the freefall is a video bust. A first. Yes, I bought beer.
  17. I needed to get it cleaned up so that we can post it on the door of our TRAILER AT ELOY BIOTCH! My wife is trying to work a way to come down for New Year's Eve, so this year there's even the chance I'll get lucky down there for the first time!
  18. He's a dork. The flu shot only makes folks less sypmtomatic. If you get the flu and call in sick, when the boss asks you how come?, say this: "Premenstrual cramps" He will hang up in terror. He's such a genius, force HIM to come up with a shot that prevents that!
  19. Well, SheepRomeo, it goes like this: "I will retire you now, or you can have a plantar fasciaotomy". "Uh. B." "Ouch!" "Sorry" "Hey, doc, I can't feel my toes. Why is AARP sending me all this RV crap?" "Kelly, you seen the bulletin? You got retired today!" "First I heard of it" "Yeah! You get half your pay tax-free, and healthcare for life!" "But I can't go back on the street?" "Never again" "Whatever" Many lust after it, but life is detestable in florescent light hell.
  20. We are on like Donkey Kong, amigo. I will give up my beer.
