  1. One's a view pre-raft launch, the second is the DZ.zoo we launched at the American boogie. YOu can show your freind the bar. Cheers. Now he has to hire me to video his tandem.
  2. No. It means you have to buy one so you can take some pictures of me flailing in my SF3 at Eloy. Biotch.
  3. http://www.calumetphoto.com/syrinx/pr.jsp?p=id&i=ec2801&t=e167&US=1 It's a half-pound lighter than the 10D, and will high speed synch with the 550EX. This looks like a decent option. I know we've debated it already, but I'm curious how this is going to take off.
  4. Yeah, and people shouldn't do that if the planes travel to other boogies either. Have some respect people! The SDA SkyVan runs on tuna.
  5. Two. 488 and about 588. First one was diving line twists. Second one was probably a pilot chute in tow.
  6. BIll, I agree completely with your argument. I have Cypres's in both my rigs. I depend on them not at all. I will be supremely embarassed if they save me. And I willl buy beer. I've had two reserve rides, neither has been proximity induced. My Cypres is for a f*ckup. Plain and simple. A Cypres fire is a mistake. So is a house fire. Insurance is a good thing.
  7. Pammi, that's a wicked cool avatar. I think you are beautiful. Very sexy. Very, very sexy.
  8. Hoym, I'm digging the pictures. That's a Porter? Your'e proximate the whole time, and that's what matters. The tandem master looks like he keeps the student's legs fetal as a matter of course. That's different than my DZ, but if it works, whatever! Nice shots. Bring them in!

    Prayers Needed

    Lori, I don't know. I just don't. My friends from law enforcement, cops, men of action, died when they didn't have action. When they slowed down, they slowed all the way down. Some guys don't have multiple speeds. They just have "GO" and "STOP". It's hard for some of us to learn "SLOW". I hope and pray for your Dad that he can learn "slow". And I pray for you. JP
  10. Ummm....that would be the 20 (or was it 22) way hybrid at Skydive Chicago done at Summerfest 2003! Was really an awesome sight. I suggest you look for pictures some time. I suggest you post a link, pilot-dude!
  11. No peas at Byron, Amazon. Just nice, dust-free, grassy landing area, and lots of it.
  12. Well I assure you since viking is staying with me, he will have milk and cookies and be tucked into bed at a decent hour... How the heck did I miss out on that deal?! OK, here's a link to a very usefull accessory to winter skydiving that I enjoy. This underwear is not bulky, is very warm, and makes a wonderful gift for any skydiver who jumps in cool climes. Check it out. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/vertical-item.jhtml?id=0012274900683a&navAction=push&navCount=4&indexId=cat21126&podId=0012274&catalogCode=XC&parentId=cat21126&parentType=index&rid=&_DARGS=%2Fcabelas%2Fen%2Fcommon%2Fcatalog%2Fitem-link.jhtml.1_A&_DAV=MainCatcat470076&hasJS=true Very good stuff, and it's not all bulky.
  13. Bill, this is an area where I agree with you completely. I believe that pure science pays tremendous economic dividends. But who should pay for it?

    S3 fun

    Be careful on that exit will ya. Oh, I'm One of The World's Most Boring Skydivers, regardless of my clumsiness. Formation exits with The Decapitator are WAY out in the future. That photograph is just really cool. Flying with the plane not in a full dive just sounds pretty neat.

    S3 fun

    Ah, that's NEAT! I am having a hard time waiting for mine. I've got MadJohn's GTi in my locker, which is great!, but I can't wait to get my custom suit. Formation flying with the Kingair! Gonna be so cool.
  16. I drove up just as you guys were getting out of the cold showers. Damn. I'm going to miss showing up to freezing people walking over the gravel. Bonnie has hot shower trucks this year, and the espresso truck will be there with brefass every morning. Very hi-tone and supercoolio.
  17. Just don't drop them in water this year. Man! That was funny! Last year, on the day after Christmas, me, BigBen, and Cornholio cruise in to the BentProp and the drunk monkeys are three deep on the bar. I meet KatieBear and LouDiamond, and SkyMonkeyOne turns around with shots of tequila in both hands and declares "I am the Monkey, and you are the flunky! Drink this!" So I obeyed. And then I introduced myself. Goodgolly. I was so dehydrated after three days of that I was crapping dustbunnies.
  18. Motel 6 or the Super 8? The Super 8 is the one right close to SDA.
