Deuce

Great shots, Q. What lens are you getting those with? For a moment I was hoping I was like a freakin' rock star, but then I had to tuck my kids in

The safety thing is relative. Everything could be up top, and you may catch a line in your ringsite, which is irrelevant to the cameras. I jump side mount video and top mount stills. I have not even had a riser strike in 400+ camera jumps. We talk helmets all the time, but your rig and main are probably the biggest factor in creating/eliminating line snag issues. When I first put on the sidemount, it felt weird as hell. At that point I really wished I had gotten a top mount setup. Top mount is easier on your neck and head with everything centered. I don't know if it's safer, cause when you get whooped back and forth by a slammer, that weight is farther from the pivot point in your neck.

Ah, dude, that is funny. I especially like the female newsreader who is laughing and saying "that's not funny".

Yeah, Bill, TallGuy ordered an SF3 at the WFFC. He's really hoping it comes in time for the Boogie.

Here's a link to some pictures from the last couple of weeks at Byron. For those of you multitudes who jump with MadJohn when he organizes around the country, if you look you can see him in his pimp-style freefly suit and custom painted helmet. For an RW god, he has a helluva sitfly! Cheers! http://www.shutterfly.com/progal/album.jsp?aid=768a5498ceeb4d3015a2

Wow. I really should be a sympathetic 21st-Century-man and say something encouraging, but instead I will seize this opportunity to call you a: WUSS!

I'll be there all day all three days. On Saturday I have to cut out a little early cause that's my daughter's birthday, and they're doing a sleepover gymnastic camp thing. So I will have the brightest eyes of anyone on Sunday. And I will deny the world pictures of me riding a mini-bike naked. The world will get over it.

I do beleive your second-favorite camera flier can help you out with that. That dude has some excellent digitamaphotogravideo equipment for boobie-imaging. Really, really excellent.

Ah! So THAT'S my Special Purpose! I've been uploading pictures to my ShutterFly pro galleries for the last three hours (With DSL!). I have been pleasantly surprised by how many people gave me a hard time for not updating the pictures. I'll have a Byron Pictorial Update later today. I AM A POSTWHORE WITH A PURPOSE!

I've bought some nice jewelry at The Shane Company, a jeweler up here in NorCal. I think a nice way to go about it is to buy the solitaire diamond, find out what shape she wants, and have that mounted on a simple band. Propose to her with that, it still allows for surprise, cause you select the diamond for her. Then shop together for the setting she will wear for the rest of her life. Some jewelers ( I know Shane co. does it) will comp the band with the purchase of the rock.

17th Wedding Anniversary Was Saturday: 11 : 0 I don't even know what that anniversary was. Like, it's not golden or silver or anything. I think it was the "the front door is sticking again, can you fix it" anniversary. Did 11 really nice jumps. 8 tandem videos and a great sit fly with GirlFallDown, and two other REALLY nice photo jumps with folks that don't post here. Did an exciting photo/video on an AFF level one. DeBar and Gareth were the instructors and this student was, uh, portly. I chase it from inside, and I'm jammed up against the student like butter on toast. When they left, it was like a boulder got rolled out of the plane. Anyhow, the student brain locks on everything. He fell almost stable to 5500 then waved off and wrapped his pilot chute around Gareth's arm. Gareth does a Bruce Lee on Crack move to get that thing off and I'm on my back filming the opening laughing like a banshee. AFF instructors have my complete respect. Oy. Beautiful weather and a nice weekend. COME TO THE BYRON BOOGIE AND PLAY! I only put on my digital a couple of times cause there was lots of film work. But here's a cool picture.

Happy Birthday, MonoUno! Very styley looking party.

You beat me to it! Yeah, it requires cell phones, beer, snacks, a bathroom stop in Compton, and a GPS. You'll be fine, Clay, it'll be kinda like your old Air Force job.

Good come-back homie, but I actually am thinking of a time in the bar at Eloy, when two chicks I admire the heck out of were talking to each other and giggling. One of them said "JP is so hot". And dude, I had not felt that tall in ages. It was an unforgettable lifetime high-point. I'm smiling ear-to-ear in recall right now. That was the coolest compliment I'd recieved in ages, and it will be very hard to beat.

You are the bomb, Bytchwoman. Thanks for texting me while driving. Probably illegal in New York, huh? Good fortune in your new home. -I will win a spot on the 140 way Deuce, and I'll visit you in April (Say it with me enough times and it might become true )

I just thought that up. If it's not the first time you've seen it, then Kudos to the coiner. I was writing to a friend of mine who is a beautiful skydiver. Huh. I have actually never shared the air with this person. But they are kinetically beautiful. I like the way that sounds. It has an aggressive truth to it. It is a pure thing. So is the person I coined it as an adjective for.

I won't be able to reach your GTi to touch it for one dollar. I'll be 5000 feet above you still swooping while you're packing. Be at Eloy, Birdman, and I'll take your smackbooty picture in full flight. For all the shit I'm tossing around the cage, I am so totally psyched that I'm getting my suit. We shall dock and flock like madmen. Women count as madmen too. It will just rock.

I'm DAMN cute, for a guy my age. And I will kiss you back. Come to Eloy!

That was back in JUNE! You going to Eloy? I actually liked this one best out of the shots we got, but you head-downers

What is this "RW" you speak of? It is not this, G-man.

I just started doing "bigger" ways, and I'm here to tell you, when you're hunting for your dock in a cloud of 40 other skydivers, you want to be gripping up on "Mr. SHAZAM!" more than anything. I LOVE those pink world record suits! Nice grippers! Gimme something to aim at!

Nice job, dude!

I thought this was a thread about a new monster movie where boobs took on a new rig.

I'll hit 600 tomorrow. I should be about 700 at Eloy.

I gotta surrender now. I don't know the acronym that JMLIT's stands for. I'm clear on sub-premecy being who can pee higher on the fence, but that's a waste of time when SM1 is on the roof peeing on the monkeys who are peeing on the fence. Consider it CHECKED!
