Scob, you tried on my rig Saturday, and I have the big risers and big rings. Be a trendsetter and make the stronger mechanically advantaged setup the new cool.

The back end of an altered state? Bwahah! You know, to get home we went 14 to 58 through tehachapi, how long did it take the rest of the NorCal crew to get home? Lummy? Seb? That damn grapevine is either snowed-in or on fire.

Uh, that would require a linked exit and a quiet conversation over the wind noise. The raft is out, those other knuckleheads are out, too. But I'll bring the video Trust me, I'm from the Government and I'm here to help

BB, you could wear a pink flamingo costume and do that one leg down ballerina thing you do while me, Nate, Lummy, Matt, TOM, and Seb rocket by in a raft! Great video. Great.

My 110 crapped out and since I would have to replace the D-box and re-learn another camera I got a 120. I like it, it has some advantages over the 110. The biggest reason to get it is because it takes stills and can easily convert footage to mpegs (my very lame I haven't read the manual opinion) The 101 is smaller and lighter. That can be a big deal depending on your neck and what you're jumping. If you don't need stills, and the bluetooth stuff seems just silly at this point (like Beta cassettes) probably go with the 101 cause it's smaller and lighter.

San Diego has a great zoo. Perris has great zoo dives!

Homie, are you gonna be here for the Byron Boogie?
-
Best of luck! If all goes well I'll see you in Florida at Nationals next year. Fly well.
-
You giant corn-fed chowderhead! Had a great time jumping with you! Hopefully we can hook up somewhere else in the next year, maybe Eloy when you are knee-deep in snow. Keep thinking 3-D award, don't let either camp get you exclusively! Bi-coastal relationships, Pfft!

Our kids are kind of like aircraft carriers to us being tugboats. If we push with all our might, we may influence their course a little. Knowing where you want them to go, that gentle pressure is enough to steer them on the right course. My entire life changed a couple of times, but most fundamentally when those little faces were bearing witness to my life. Nogiveup Lumster, nogiveup.

That's the most sensible answer to this often answered question that I've seen yet. I'd think that you could also add that just cause you can do that on a 170 Spectre doesn't mean you could downsize to a 150 Sabre2. I can do all that on my Spectre 170 and I think I'm safe to get a 150, but I don't think I would be safe to a 9 cell 150, cause I have zero nine-cell jumps. (Don't want a 9 cell, less running with my 7)

I bought mine brand-new. The used stuff I saw and liked was almost as expensive as new, so I went ahead and got custom for me. It was too fast for me then, and only one size to big for the rest of my skydiving career. JP

I was kinda stunned when that organizer came up and asked me about you and Seb on Saturday afternoon. I'd never been asked to vouch for anyone before. Maybe I'm better than I think I am... OH, crap. Since we didn't get on any big ways you must have correctly informed her that we were retards. And, yeah, you're better than you think you are. "Just let it not be me" is no worry for the Bytch!
-
[reply Or.....should I care??? Get it over with. Use your best SoulTrain voice and let her have it "Heyyyyyy Baby, you like Courvousier?" "Dear Penthouse, I never thought I'd be writing to Forum, but at work......." Just do it.
-
Dating my girls is going to be like us trying to get on a big way at Perris. "How many jumps you got total, how many RW, how many big way, and who can vouch for you? My cans of whoop-ass may be getting old, but they're good enough for any teenager
-
Dude, go tactical before you go nuclear.

Another one.... I'm sitting on the floor of the Van, Seb sits down next to me and asks me the question. I got/get this question after having tons of serious fun with regular people. "So, are you still a cop?" Bwah! Cops are supposed to be such a serious-minded group of dour assh*les (save it, I know a lot of them are) No, Seb, I'm retired, broke my feet in 1999, yadayada. I keep this baseball card from those days in my helmet to remind me to have fun. I was a burly hundred pounds heavier then, mandatory mustache, kevlar vest, I show it to Seb, and Cornholio looks over from the bench and says "Is that your Dad?" I guess so. The burly, serious cop gave birth to a lanky skydiver who only cares about family, friends, and skydiving. It was a cool moment that I thought I'd share.

I must admit, watching video of our group, that I shot, in the bombshelter, with the crowd whooping it up enjoying our fun with us a second time was a highpoint in my skydiving. My two favorites: 1) Lummy mach-ing under our formation 2) TOM pulling the hybrid into an accelerated freefall descent formation (read: Stupendous Funnel) What a great time. Thanks again Quade, LtDiver.
-
Good call when you and Jason pulled off that 6 way hairball we launched out of the Van. You provided a good example of discretion I practiced later. I got invited on an 11 way head down with the Flyboyz because a good friend of mine from Perris would vouch for me, but I pulled off too. I might have been able to pull it off, but better safe than sorry. We did establish the 6 way linked head-down exit to three way round with 3 lurkers Dropzone.com record though! Beat that!
-
It probably weighs the same in the US, so the shipping costs would be prohibitive.
-
Well, it looked to me what we called in my old line of work a "through and through". A wound channel only, no projectile remnants. But I'm a cynical b*stard. Who knows?
-
Hey, it's close quarters in the Bunkhouse, sh*t will happen. Besides, it's like the song says: "What's love got to do with it?"
-
I think on the six way out of the 3 I was on TOM's (the other Matt, jams) back. I crashed into you later, out of the Van. I'm fine, thanks. I figure a day skydiving without bruises is a day when I wasn't trying hard enough! 4 Van jumps and 3 DC-3 jumps, what a day!
-
Great time, Lummy! Some of those tough ole b*stards had jumped out of the original DC-3's! I had to laugh at them teasing us because it didn't take an hour to get to altitude (like 10 minutes!), and we didn't get covered with oil exhaust on exit. At least two of those guys had prosthetic limbs. Great songs too. And they all had these "Air Trash" ballcaps on. I cracked my ribs getting out of that puny door, so the experience was complete for me. All: If you ever get a chance to jump out of that turbine DC-3, jump on it! If you ever get a chance to jump out of it for $14.50....oh, too bad, we used all those chances up!
-
A 6 way speed star out of the DC3. Go watch the video that Cornholio posted on skydivingmovies.com; you'll see me saying "this ones for you Muenkel" If you read lips, it just looks like "F*ck you! Muenkel!) No, really, I was there! (No sh*t, there I was, 12,000 feet up in a $10,000 plane with $4 million dollars worth of engines sitting with the coolest skydivers on the net......" Lovin it.
