  3. Wrong answer. Now you'll never get gasson's footage of you from me. cavete terrae.

  5. Hi Jason. I just did a high-alt at Eloy on Sunday (first jump of 2006!) from a bit over 21,000', and here's what I can tell you: At Eloy at least, they only "required" an A, but they didn't seem to want someone who'd just gotten their A on the jump. I learned this when someone I befriended whilst there was denied. I suspect they wanted at least 50 jumps or so, I had I believe 78 or 79 or somesuch. Brian Burke did the briefing for us, explaining the dangers of high altitude jumps, how to recognise hypoxia, the symptoms, etc. He explained that the higher exit speed of the King Air at those altitudes coupled with the lower air pressure would combine to make it difficult to hold on to float positions outside of the aircraft, and so forth. Use of the oxygen systems was fully explained, including the fact that you really won't feel the air flow. Also noted was that it's fairly chilly up there, usually around 70° colder than ground temps. The jump itself was a blast, and the view is sure as hell different! cavete terrae.
  6. 1. Its important to have a woman who helps at home, cooks, cleans & has a job. 2. Its important have a woman who can make you laugh. 3. Its important to have a woman who you can trust and never lies to you. 4. Its important to have a woman who is good in bed and likes being with you. 5. Its very, very important that these four bitches* don't know each other. * I only used this word because it was in the original joke. Please don't de-ball me. cavete terrae.

  9. Deep within your miserable soul, you know the right goddamned answer is french toast. Tui knows this too, she just refuses to acknowledge she's wrong. cavete terrae.
  10. Yo dave, just thought I'd let you know the LSPC site is down. Incidentally, I ran into one of your guys at Eloy.. I'm shite with names, but he was the fellow with the orange and green freefly suit, he was also at my DZ's boogie in Luverne this summer. See you guys this spring when it warms up, I'm gonna come down and check out your DZ cavete terrae.
  11. I'm going to come down there for a vacation in either February or April, and I'm curious which is a better time weather-wise, in general. February I'd have more time, but April I'd have more money (can you say TUNNEL TIME?) cavete terrae.
  12. drudgereport, foxnews, cnn, probably more. cavete terrae.
  13. Godspeed, gentlemen. The media are gonna look REALLY dumb after this. cavete terrae.
  14. Looks like the reports were wrong. 11 of the 12 are dead. Godspeed. cavete terrae.
  15. Well, except for, uh, Sunday? I think it was Sunday. Hanging out of the back of the 'van with Monkeycndo getting pelted with rain or sleet or something wasn't overly perfect cavete terrae.
  16. Sorry we didn't get to jump, but it was cool to get to hang with the Skylord himself! cavete terrae.
  17. Dammit, he's supposed to talk shit, that is the way of the samurai. I didn't get any other videos, sorry, but I cna tell you this: Downwind landings are fun I was messing with crosswind, downwind, flat turns, braked turns, etc, and I really do love this canopy. I can even pack it in a reasonable amount of time now! I'll try and get more videos of my landings at my home DZ, though. cavete terrae.
  18. My first jump of 2006 was from over 21,000 feet AGL cavete terrae.
  19. Umm.... 10 jump days, 38 jumps. You met me, so I was obviously there :) cavete terrae.
  20. We'll have photo evidence. That should jog your memory. Shit. I knew I should never have let grue play with my camera. Haw haw. Like I said, you supply the gear, I supply the talent. Incidentally, you were too busy with the video camera to notice anyway: http://spiceweasel.net/brandon-tui-videos.jpg cavete terrae.
  21. I took several hundred photos, I'll try and get 'em up soon. Here are some fun ones: http://spiceweasel.net/swoop1.jpg http://spiceweasel.net/amber-fire-dance1.jpg http://spiceweasel.net/smoke-devil.jpg http://spiceweasel.net/landing1.jpg http://spiceweasel.net/dive1.jpg I'd post more, but I can't upload from the airport (sitting in PHX, flight delayed several hours).. cavete terrae.
  22. Is anyone able to give a ride from Eloy to PHX between about noon and 130 tomorrow (monday)? I know it's short notice, but if not, no worries! cavete terrae.
  23. Hey Dave, I'll ask around the tent tomorrow, too. Just PM me a rough descript if you would. cavete terrae.
