it's an hour away.

the microtel is about 7 miles away so i would consider it too far to walk. it's in the same plaza as walmart. april should be perfect camping weather so maybe buying a tent and bag isn't such a bad idea. ...what laura said about the lockers and storing your stuff.

so that's how lisa, jp and i could all afford to live so extravagantly... blues, arlo seriously, those numbers are just wrong.

shannon no longer makes the deja-blue weight belt, but i think it was gonna be passed along to someone else...not sure if that actually happened or not. a

very, very nice!!! always great to hear of records being broken...it just means the bar continues to be raised.

for all of you guys that are continually slamming jari or robi or whoever... get over yourselves. you guys are making the sport look like shit. jari and robi parting ways is THEIR business - not any of yours. you won't hear jari talking about how shitty robi's suits are - nor will you hear robi talking about how shitty jari's suits are. you know why? because they're both better people than to do that petty shit. what you have is a healthy market now with suits to choose from and ALL of the suits are bad ass. If it weren't for BOTH these guys (and the other designers) there might not be too many wingsuits to fly right now. be thankful that they helped introduce human flight the way they did together. why must people turn this into an "us and them" scenario? leave it alone and just enjoy the flights and learn from each other. most people that have swapped over to another suit have done so from a birdman suit. so you weren't bitching about them before, why all of a sudden did they start to suck? don't be stupid. what changed was the type of wingsuit you fly (which may be better or not) but most importantly the attitude that you have. three years ago everyone was so stoked and acting like a bunch of kids because everyone were part of this new genre of skydiving. everyone was excited about sharing what was learned on each of your jumps and look at it now: pissing contests. for fuck's sake people, get a life and let the drama go. some of you are worse than a bunch of hens. arlo

...their pockets?

call the dz (1.800.404.9399). usually Phantom (or another local) makes runs to the airport as needed but i don't know the cost. the dz will probably hook you up with someone. enjoy! zhills rocks.

could very well be. just wasn't sure if they meant the actual glove itself WAS better or looked better. a

sure it does. take the duct tape and make a roomy little seal around the dent on the inside of the hood or trunk. spray the WD-40 inside the duct tape bubble and quickly ignite a spark. the contents of the bubble will rapidly expand/explode, thereby knocking the dent back out of the said metal sheet. arlo

they're the same glove (neumanns) with a different logo. how are they "better"? arlo

you're a troll, but i'll bite. www.bird-man.com don't think that it's a big secret that bird-man is being run from europe as of feb 1st. it's all right there on the website...easy to read. you should try checking there once in a while. btw, jari never had to leave the country. some people should really, really get a life. arlo

pete is an absolute GEM. one of the world's best without a doubt. you did good by hiring him cora. he's a phenomenal skydiver and coach with an equally impressive personality (and family).

it was ottley. ;)

Bring It! What you got? Huh - lets see it! i said you guys are going down! now biotch! start tracing the alphabet!

goggles?! you don't need no stinkin' goggles when the seoul sisters finish with you. we get our kicks making Bill(happythoughts) parade around in womens underwear. go ahead! smack his ass and ask him who his mommies are... you guys are SOOOOOOO going DOWN. arlo

and it's a guaranteed win if you catch us both just after having driven behind someone slow in the left lane. hell hath no fury... and as bo said, the fund-raising idea we got from him absolutely involved people PAYING to see TK in a thong....and on top of a car....beating it with a sledgehammer. classic. repeat in march at the muff brother reunion. for those that don't know, TK is the DZM of skydive city in zhills (congrats to him on his recent marriage, btw). maybe we should have the cage match at zhills as a fund-raiser? hell, we've done crazier shit than that... arlo

...and sky? happy early birthday. glad you don't need shoes. take care, a

check out the gear and rigging forum. there's a service bulletin that you should read... blues, arlo

i definitely will be stopping in to hang out with kyle for a bit, so maybe i'll see ya there. :) a

woohoo! congrats everybody on the new record.

to be a muff brother, all you have to do is dock on a muff brother while wearing ear muffs. no inflatables are necessary - they're cool, but not necessary. :) next trip to zhills you should get yours...from #65 himself, johnny gates. what better time than during the muff bro reunion?

if you don't think you can lose it, borrow a 135 to get the same wingloading. a

you don't have to spend $500 on a place to stay - no way! contact pip or judy redvers at the dz. they have RVs that they rent out (i'm thinking $10-12/night) at the dz. also zhills just had more bathrooms constructed and the showers are always hot. 1-800-404-9399 is the number there. oh yeah, if you're flying into orlando (MCO) or tampa (TPA), contact the dz beforehand and let them know. there is usually someone who will pick you up for some amount of money...not sure the cost. blues, arlo
