Doofus. That's what happens when the SM hat is worn backwards. I see Wingy in the wings probably cheering things on. Geez. Even a guy like me has more scars from doing silly shiite on the DZ when we are weathered out than I do from the actual skydiving part. Stay well all, rainy weather is undoubtedly the most dangerous.

Hey, what about me? If I hadn't been there hucking tandems you would have had the pleasure of doing all those jumps out of the Cessna! Congrats to all of you. I have a big ground school going Sunday, so each of you should be able to do some reserve sides with me! I can't wait, cause that will be huge fun!

Good lord. Do you just carry that stereotype around in your wallet? Boilerplate like that is pretty heavy to have to carry around all day, I'd think.

My pictures from the Herc Boogie are up. Some pretty neato birdman stuff in there. http://www.shutterfly.com/progal/album.jsp?aid=768a5498cf68d194ca15

Jay's is just the carbon fibre finish, but they do wicked cool paint jobs too, like the one on SkymonkyONE's. As to the mindwarp pimple thing, I'd like to have that work, but I tried the damn thing on. And I know better. NEVER demo something you don't have the money to buy. Hey NacMac? It's "colors". Spread the word, huh? Seems like just about everybody over there is getting that one wrong.

You've met the woman, right? As if a silly hurricane or two is going to slow her down if she's made her mind up.

My man, when you're standing on the ramp of the Herc, all you have to do is reflect light to look cool. Superhellacoolio kinda cool.

Please. The knucklehead New Jersey Governor likes a little homosexual sodomy. Whatever. One of the organizers at Herc Boogie was a parody of a San Francisco gay man. (nobody does gay better than SF) So, what the fuck, over? I think the deal is that he lied to his wife. No diff than if he lied to her about another woman. Ack. How wierd and obtuse. whatever.....

Somebody try and give me shit about earthquakes again... "Crap, the ground shook and knocked the ficus over" vs. "Mommy, a cow just landed on the shed. Again."

Dude, you once told me that the British used huge propane or natural gas heaters to burn off clouds during WWII. Get some of that stuff going at Rantoul. Better use of your time..

Yes. Quade knows all.

OK, every now and again I look in my locker and say, "JP, you have EVERYTHING. Stop looking in the gear magazines." and I follow my advice. Until yesterday I, in fact, had it all. Jay Stokes is at my DZ grinding three of my best friends through the AFF-I course and while catching up with him about what he's done since grinding me up back in May, he shows me this helmet. F*cker. The new Illusion helmet is completely and utterly badass. A very nice lighter alternative to my FTP when I don't need to do the whole flash/battery thing. Just about all the protection of a FTP, but in a lighter sidemount. Crap. And congratulations, that is a very, very nice design. Nice top deck real estate without being just too damn big. Argh.

Yeah... sure... Ripped is the sound the wax makes when Cpox finally agrees to have the procedure done while Skreamer holds his hand.

Since we were "Military" jumping, there was no such thing as cloud cover too dense to jump through. Seems they have some pretty fancy navigation gear on board those Swedish Hercs, and we never got lost.... Check the pics out, though. We could not have jumped through that stuff in the states. Very cool, and very fun...

There are 700. I eliminated a ton of them. ( It takes 24 hours to upload 700 uncropped 6.3 megapixel images if you were wondering...) Thanks to everybody who made it happen. If anybody want's a special crop, just contact me. My European friends? Do me a favor and link to your local clubs. I don't want to cross post. Again, thanks to the Swedish parachutists who made the boogie happen. Anybody who was there realizes the great sacrifices you made. Please keep it up and I hope to see you in two years again.

Update your profile. It says you have 12 jumps. What size are your canopies? I'm 6' and jump a 143 PDR, 150 Spectre combo. The EXT is wasted, pretty much, on my height with those canopies. If, perchance, you now have your A license and are jumping sub 100 reserves and mains, a longer container might help you. Your local gear dealer is usually a good place to start looking for answers, but if that is a problem call Ankie and Sunrise Rigging: 813-788-1910, or info@skydivewings.com *Wings is a sponsor of mine.

No, Gordy, there are no official rules here. Depending on the dropzone, and whether they are USPA affiliated, I suppose we could put camera helmets on level one/Cat A jumpers if we wanted to. At my DZ, we generally know everybody, and when somebody goes to put a camera helmet on we take the initiative to talk with them about it.

Lucky the meatheads were in PA. In Texas it would have been a shootout.

How fun! Good luck.

you do know a little about Lance Armstrong, right?
-
You guys have it backwards. He let me stay in HIS house, and he needed to start drinking again just to tolerate me.
-
What makes you such an expert? (Hi Linda)
-
You did tell him he has to be on the front, with the guy with the parachute behind him. Cause, Kev, telling him that he gets to have a naked blonde woman strapped to his front would be just misleading as hell.

Kinda looks like the gath with the integrated, retractable visor... kinda. Yeah, that's the one.
