Lets see how the guys do :) I got three the first time. My intelligence is just average--must be the alchohol. -favaks

A quick test of intelligence. Don't cheat! If you do, the test will be no fun. There is no trick to this test. Read this sentence: FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS. Now count aloud the F's in that sentence. Count them ONLY ONCE: do not go back and count them again. Answer below: ANSWER: There are six F's in the sentence. One of average intelligence finds three of them. If you spotted four, you're above average. If you got five, you can turn your nose at most anybody. If you caught six, you are a genius. There is no catch. Many people forget the "OF"'s. The human brain tends to see them as V's and not F's. Pretty weird huh? It fools almost everybody.

It was an awesome trip--everyday I ran into somebody or something wierd. I wanted to get some action with you I mean jumping together that is

Do a two-stage flare. I flare half way, depending on the canopy, just a tad later than I think I should. When I feel my feet touch the ground, I flare all the way. Don't think about having to touch down with your feet, let the ground come and flare. The parachute will hold you up. -favaks

We did it out of a Skyvan. We'll have to make several jumps together the next time we meet. Kamloops is too far away, how about the Christmas boogie in Arizona? -favaks

Did a raft dive at Lost Prairie. We had two topless chics in the raft--t'was an interesting dive. When we broke off, one of the girls went headdown so I chased after her. Less than 2 seconds after that she went flat with her arms wrapping around her chest. She was pretty freaked out after she landed. She said, "I didn't know they can stretch that far." -favaks

I'm jumping a Silhouette 150. It's got the most beautiful opening out of all the canopies I've jumped. I pro-pack, don't roll the nose, and roll the tail tight. The opening snivels just a tiny bit even if the nose is not rolled. If I roll the nose on mine, it will snivel for a long time.

I go to Kapowsin whenever the sun comes out. I'll be glad to take you with me. Where are you staying btw? We should get together when you're here and roam--Seattle is a beautiful city.

You guys are friggin lucky to live near the vicinity. I live in Seattle.

I wasn't very impressed with the Spectre. It's an ok canopy. Go for a Silouette.

I'll be there, from the 1st day to the last, with a few friends of mine from Kapowsin. I'll cause some trouble with ya

Another way to look at the statistics. Last year, there were 32 fatalities in the US. I counted all but 4 were students--correct me if i'm wrong. USPA membership was at about 35000 last year. That's approximately 28 out of 35000 hardcore brothers and sisters who didn't make it--28/35000, that's a pretty high fatality rate. -favaks

GAWD, SHE IS HOT!

Neither! How about Lost Prairie? -favaks

Nah, you don't wanna go to Lost Prairie! -favaks

It was a blast! I can't seem to remember anything prior to the boogie. I'm sitting here at working grinning all day long The Huey jump was indescribable. It was nice meeting you. I didn't get a chance to jump with you at all--next time. Those 4-ways I did with Tee, 172fps, and Dave were "awesome"

A skygod is an asshole, regardless of skills. A skygodess, well, that's different.

Sis, My vision is very bad too, atleast 20/400 on both eyes. I've worn contacts before but they get blown off once in a while. I've considered different types of refractive surgery, but it's not worth the risk really. Currently, I'm looking into prescription sport goggles. I think these will do just fine and they're cheap, about $100. Vision is very important in skydiving. The more you can see, the faster you can detect the problems and do away with it. My doctor said with glasses, my vision is 20/15, but with contacts or LASIK, it may not be as good because I have astigmatism on both eyes. Good luck! -favaks
