  1. Not a dog, but my youngest cat. Loves to or shall I say demands that I play fetch with her. Started with toy mice and has now graduated to th Mrs. rolled knee highs. she will play round the clock if you let her. Some mornings I wake up with her toys and panty hoe laying next to me..
  2. Hell my older brother is as gay as they come.. Has been out for many years. He was married had my nephew. Ended up divorced, full custody. Built a nice career, and my nephew is probably one of the moat well rounded kids in the family. On the adoption thing. Many have already said it and I firmly agree. Better to be adopted by a stable family regardless of their sexual preferences, than either be in foster care/ state homes or in a home with heterosexual parents that are drunks, drug addicts, molesters whatever it may be.. Mom&dad , dad&dad, mom&mom... It doesnt make a damn bit of difference as long as you have a good family environment..

    PEEPS!!!!

    Cant say im much for peeps.. But them stupid candy hearts for Valentines day. I stock pile those
  4. It may be a bit pricey but if you have a bike with,a backrest. their large soft pack works perfect for rig, jumpsuit, helmet.,I think I paid 299 for tge big and small bags. I use the small for everyday riding, the big for overnight and dz stuff..
  5. Look at the PD Spectre. It did me quite well for a first canopy, it flew pretty well, the flare was good. And it was easy to sell without losing much. And it helps that you can almost always find them used in that size range.
  6. Go with a sky systems Benny. Good protection and not too bad for looks.. Less than 100 bucks..
  7. cute kids!! I will volunteer to babysit them during the summer
  8. Worst reason for downsizing that I've ever seen. I highly doubt that there was nobody willing to sit down with you and help you out at any of those dropzones, especially if they saw how you were flying. Not quite a canopy course but I would be willing to bet, there are a handful of damn good canopy pilots that could be picked up as coaches for some one on one.. especially in Deland or Sebastian.. for that matter bet ya could have walked into flight 1 and gotten that accomplished or at least pointed in the right direction..
  9. I will look for it but I have a pretty complete listing of all manufacturers that give discounts, I will pm it to ya. And for the record, I love my wings.. And they,do a great discount..
  10. I was recently at a dz, where i saw a jumper with approx 100 jumps B licenced jumping a sony cx camera helmet, and exiting the plane at 2200 ft. Also being allowed to jump go pro and 1.3 /1:4-:1 wing loading right off student status. Im only about 250 jumps into the sport and have broken a few rules along the way, as i assume most have. But the longer im around and the more i learn " sometimes by my own mistakes" when is it enough to be addressed or to do something to stop it? And how do you stop it without causing dz problems
  11. Earlier this season i set up Flight 1 at our dz for 3 days, If you get the opportunity to go through their course it is well worth it. We had everything fom 20 jump students to 1000's of jump swoopers. Everyone found the course very good. with any luck we are gonna have them back in the spring for some advanced training..
  12. After some more research from hypoxic CX130, CX160, CX190, CX200, CX210, ... If the camera was made in 2011 or 2012 you will need this version of the HYPEYE! unable to use wide angle lens without some modification. http://www.gethypoxic.com/reviews-tests-hacks/hacks-and-mods/90-cx200.html
  13. by the specs both use Electronic (Steady Shot with Active Mode) image stabilization. Now with that being said, can someone look into the differences and give some feedback on the 210. From everything i can see it looks like just a newer version of the 110. But as i said before i dont know crap about the electronics behind it all. Cx 210 specs http://shop.retrevo.com/m/search/productpage?c=1004&og=1998138&m=24059177&rt=s cx 110 specs http://shop.retrevo.com/m/s/Sony-HDR-CX110-Camcorders-review-manual/id/23628ci053/t/1-2/?c=1004&og=504722&m=23628053&rt=sp
  14. Ok maybe im missing it or just kinda retarded when it comes to cameras. but its the image stabilization im looking at right? And the 110 and 210 have the same. How do you know its ois or eos ?? Come on now its time to educate the slow guy here..
  15. The cx 110 is ois,also isnt it?
  16. Does anyone on here know anything about this camera? My guess is just an updated version of the 110 specs are close to the same. From what i can see. Im just looking for some input to see if this camera is a good option. Thanks
  17. Not sure if its text book or good for all but i was told right after i came off student status to get the winds aloft for the given altitude and use 1/4 mile for every 10 mph of wind. Its gotten me back every time..
  18. I have a few spots available for the Flight-1 canopy control course, with instructor Stu Shoenfeld running the course. Friday or Saturday 101 course Sunday 102 course At explore freefall Franklin Indiana for more info get ahold of me. Thanks Chuck
  19. http://www.usbgear.com/IRJOY.html this is the one i use for updating neptune 2's with . Works with all of them every time...Tried three other irda devices prior to it , with absolutely no luck http://forum.altimaster.com/forum.php look here for any questions you have on the updates.
  20. Look for used suits. I got freefly pants, ff suit and rw all for about the cost of 1 new suit. When you learn more and fall into a disipline with in the sport then get your custom suit whichever way you like.
  21. Way to go, it just gets more fun from now on.. where are you doing your static line traning??
  22. Im not a swooper and have no immediate plans to be one. But really think about it . Ban swooping, whats next ?? Fatalities do shift from one aspect of the sport to another. And they will in any extreme sport. The human ego will not allow it to stop. you stop swooping they will find something else that will give the adrenaline rush.. trained canopy pilots will have accidents, they make their choices and understand the consequenses. It all comes down to training the young ones to fly canopies within their skill range, take training, and so on and so on , not banning shit!!! i really do see arguments both ways on a lot of things but really stop with the ban this and ban that .. we should probably all be jumping 260 mantas and doing no more than a four way because anything else would be to f'ing dangerous..
  23. I know that the comment will be made that Im a newbie to the sport and probably have no clue what I am talking about but Skydiving is an extreme sport there will be injuries and deaths!! most can be avoided by the person if they have the common sense and training to do what ever displine they choose. This is true no matter what the sport. but seriously is there anyone standing on top of the slope saying you cant do that double black diamond because you have only been on that board for x amount of runs, or someone at the base of a climb saying no you cant do that 5.11d because you have only 20 climbs No. It honestly comes down to common sense. people and their ego's will always try to do dumbshit that will get them hurt or worse. and sometimes they pioneer something new because of it. It becomes a personal risk vs reward. we all sign waivers before we ever get on a plane at a dz. or hit the slopes, motocross parks the list goes on and on .. and then we are responsible for our actions after. not always the right actions either.. I dont agree with a lot of the risks that people take but it is inevitable that they will take them.. I think it all comes down to training at the beginning stages of a skydivers career, help them to understand and learn. not regulate and ban! just the ramblings of a rookie around here and yep after I look at this a few times I may decide I need an edit but my bottom line is the same Train them from the start so they can be more educated in their decisions and have a better understanding of their risks and consequenses to themselves and possibly others..
  24. Looking for some newer static line FJC videos. The one we have are still rockin the old motorcycle helmets,pimp mustaches and rounds.... anyone with any good leads or help would be kick ass..
