Seems to me most of the freeflyers have moved to Sebastian... ;) We will see as season starts in a few weeks where its really happening...
-
Watch it or I might just stick my tounge out.....
-
You do remember me sweety.... *kisses*
-
Keep the cat inside... I just bought an LS1 (covette engine) powered GTO.... no sympathy from me. ;)
-
Thats a great start. Now can they undo all the damage?
-
I might go the next weekend (for a day) if Im not still banned there and Eric is gone. Right now if we can get enough ppl to go during the week (is the cessna still flying) Im down for that... ;) Derek

Hows about the movie contact....
-
I know the smell pretty well. Its me. Well me or any sweaty mofo who packs it. May be you, may be your packer or it maybe someone making sweet sweet sweaty hog love on it. Anyway it smells like a wet dog a.k.a. gymbag. I suggest airing it out.... from about 13000' repeatedly. Stop sweating too

where you jumping at?
-
Im in on this one... Im 5'10" 270lb out the door. Im on a 135 for now, itll be a 120 crossbraced here shortly. A 111 is not that far off in the horizon either. Im looking at a V343 135m 143r or maybe a V310, 150m 143R. Ill probably go for a V343... I think Ill be buying it Feb 5th (ish). ;)

Everyone see this months parachutist (I forgot the page, but its a 2 page ad)? Cats out of the bag now. Spacer foam back padding. I saw it on a rig a month or 2 ago, and had previously asked about it (WAY LONG AGO) and was told it was in works. Well here it is. $150 intro offer. ;) Not so much a product, as an option, but it wasnt my business to spill the beans. ;) Now that its out.... I might drop an order for that new vector I need. If only I had $$. Derek

Email addy?

Well pinnacle is based on perspective. If you want fast Citation X is the way to go. ;)

I have been in some Globals, and they are freaking sweet. I think right now my favorite has to be the ERJ Legacy, the cockpit/avionics are so nicely laid out.... but really, give me a 182 with a jump door and a few thousand feet and Im happy. Wait, I do have to mention, a 727 conversion, the plane was a beater, but the rerag was just pimp, red plush velvet, animal skin seats, every couch/divan/foot rest was orgy ready... thats the way to go. They had IPODs through out the cabin piped into the stereo syetem... draw your own conclusions...

I wear plastic safety googles (free from work) and contacts, have a few hundred jumps with this, all body positions, no problems. They have very similar lines to gatorz. I think bottom line is how they fit on your face. Start with a hop and pop and then explore from there. Derek

I noticed the same issue when I switched over from a Sabre 2 to a Katana. The openings to me were significantly longer. But I quickly became used to it and I dont deem it a problem. But I would like to suggest you pull higher than 3k on a katana. Despite the light loading, it is a high performance canopy and any high perfomance canopy can give you high performance openings.

I went when I was in HS (Army brat), what an experience.... enjoy it. Derek

Its for entirely selfish reasons... you guys are the only ones who tolerate me. ;) No really... everyone wants you guys there. ;) PLEASE....
-
You and J need to change the plans... Ill have some redbull for you to combat the pooped. You 2 are among some of my favorite faces to bump into at the DZ/Boogie circuit.... Make it happen. Derek (PLEASE)
-
anyone? Im sitting here in the hotel now, by downtown St Louis. I work this evening and then tonight/tommorow Im off to some DZ. Freeflyers, turbines and a swoop pond would be perfect... any suggestions? Derek
-
Im looking for a turbine DZ with a good freefly crowd and or a good swoop pond....Whoops... shoudlve said that in the first post. ;0

Looking at it.. I see that CDC and SDC are 4 something hours away... thats doable...
-
Im heading out to St Louis for work on a moments notice, want to know where the nearest decent dzs are to knock out some jumps while Im there.... or should I just leave my rig at home. help me here ppl. Ill likely rent a car, so driving somewhere wont be to much fo a hassle unless someone wants to get me from the hotel and split gas. Derek

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Disobedience I dont believe it is a just law, so I am breaking it in a peaceful, albeit gas guzzling manner. That is my right, and my willingness to fight the man buy using a lawyer to get out of itm I also feel is my civil duty. Now that is patriotism, being given the right to fight the system and actually doing so, was the greatest *right* the founding fathers gave to us.
