kansasskydiver

it looks freaking cool and the fact that i was almost in a spike with belly fliers. it's a whole new dimension of skydiving. kinda like a night jump. yeah you're still skydiving just like you always do, but it changes things. you're in a spike or a sit but not traveling as fast. it's hard to explain... it's also f$%King weird watching it the deployment with it. kinda gives you that ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww oh ok it worked. even scarier on video sometimes. it's worth it. and everyone wants to be your friend now and jump the tube haha "mr. skydiver, can i play with your tube" is all i hear from my fellow jumpers now hahahaha

did you use a similar device for the bottom as i did? did it help you guys any in the design? be curious to see how you built your base and handel. after making more jumps on my tube I have found that a garden hose wasn't hte best thing to use for the ring as it now has a crease is in and won't keep it's shape. back to the drawing board i guess

ok this was misunderstood. no no one is hitting on you, you said that everyone else was jealous. YES EVERYONE SHE IS MINE!!! back off, back off, frenchie i'm not kidding she's mine lol hahahahaha

ok this forum wasn't started for you and i to talk about hot tent stuff lol. i'm sure everyone doesn't want to hear about it sorry guys chris

hmmm what could i buy you and get pleasure from???? oh oh oh i know you want a Crossfire2 150^2ft don't you. yeah i know you do don't ya hahahah too bad you wouldn't be able to jump it for a long time, so i'll go ahead and break it in for you hahaha

Some people may remember Geoff, not assuming that everyone does, but if I haven't been in touch with someone who knew him I wanted to inform you of next weekend. June 13-15th at KSUPC www.ksu.edu/ksupc Wamego KS, our club will be holding a memorial boogie in his name to help raise money for his scholarship fund. Geoff was the former president of our club and died in Wichita KS while flying a birdman suit. We have about 20 sponsors for the boogie, will have 2 182's (yeah i know i know it's not much but hey we're a small club). If you knew Geoff and would like pay your respects at the boogie please feel free to come jump with us and then party Saturday night. Below is more informaiton about Geoff. Blue skies, Chris Armstrong -------------------------------------------------- Geoffrey Jon Peggs died on June 15, 2001, as the result of a skydiving accident. He was only 21 at the time of his death, but he lived a rich and commendable life. Although his intended career path included journalism, mass communications and computer technology, he considered aviation as his most probable vocation. Geoff was taking flying lessons through K-State at the Salina Airport and was just a couple of hours away from obtaining his pilot's license. He had already applied for membership in the Pilot's Association and once he obtained his preliminary license, he intended to accumulate flying hours and more classes to gradually advance to larger aircraft. He often said that "the cockpit will be my office one day." He died before he could fulfill his dream. In his short years, Geoff distinguished himself in journalism and graphic design. As a high school senior at Kapaun Mount Carmel, Geoff was the design editor for the yearbook. That year he attended a journalism workshop at Kansas State University. Geoff was so impressed with the program, he decided to attend K-State. As a college freshman, he served as a design editor for the Kansas State University yearbook. Geoff also served in a similar capacity for the student newspaper, the Collegian, during his first two years at school. He won a second place award in the Associated Collegiate Press Design in 2000, as was a member of the Journalism in Education Association. During his summers and other school breaks, Geoff served as an instructor at high school graphics and design workshops across the country. In summer 2001, Geoff was chosen for an internship position with Cessna Aircraft to work on computer and programming projects that are normally assigned to upperclass or graduate level candidates. Everyone who worked with him left his dedication, focus and energy. Geoff's other real passion in life was skydiving. He had more than 250 jumps and had achieved jumpmaster rating. During his first year at K-State, Geoff held the position of secretary of the KSU Parachute club and, just before his death, he had been elected president. He held membership in the United States Parachute Association and his hometown organization, the Wichita Air Capital Skydiving Club. At K-State, Geoff was the Webmaster for the university parachute club. In everything he did, Geoff displayed verve, energy and enthusiasm. While juggling multiple roles in college, Geoff also worked part-time designing Web pages in Manhattan at InterKan.Net. He also worked as a seasonal employee with Best Buy, a job he proudly acquired while in high school Literally hundreds of people paid their last respects to Geoff on June 20, 2001, when he was laid to rest. A memorial jump was made in his honor at the cemetery when last services were performed for him. Geoff's family wanted to pay tribute to this exceptional young man who touched their lives and the lives of hundreds of others in the few years he had on earth. Therefore, the family of Geoff Peggs has established the Geoffrey Jon Peggs Memorial Fund to provide scholarship money to KSU students with similar interests and pursuits. Recognizing that aviation as a passion and a vocation can be financially demanding, the family wishes scholarship funding be made available to full-time KSU students for whom the curriculum of pilot training is a significant component. This K-State Foundation is a 501C(3) non-profit educational institution. All gifts to the Foundation in Geoff's name are tax deductible and greatly appreciated by all his friends, family and fellow students. If you would like more information on making a donation please contact KSUPC (ksuparachuteclub@yahoo.com) and we will direct you. Blue skies, soft landings~KSUPC -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MANHATTAN, KAN. - The family and friends of the late Geoffrey Jon Peggs, Wichita, Kan., have made a gift of $12,420 to the Kansas State University Foundation to establish the Geoffrey Jon Peggs Memorial Scholarship. The purpose of this scholarship is to perpetuate the memory of Geoff Peggs and to provide financial assistance for flight fees to students properly enrolled in the flight curriculum in the College of Technology and Aviation at Kansas State University, Salina, Kan. Preference will be given to students whose resources are most limited. Geoff Peggs was only 21 when he died as the result of a skydiving accident on June 15, 2001. While his intended career path included the areas of journalism, mass communications and computer technology, he had strong interests in aviation and skydiving. At Wichita's Kapaun Mount Carmel, where Geoff Peggs attended high school, he served as design editor for the Kapaun Mount Carmel Crusader. As a college freshman, he was design editor for the K-State yearbook. Geoff Peggs also served as design editor for the Kansas State Collegian. He was awarded second place in the Associated Collegiate Press Design of 2000 and was a member of the Journalism in Education Association. Geoff Peggs had more than 250 jumps and had achieved jumpmaster rating. He served as an officer for the university skydiving club and had been elected president of the KSU Parachute Club near the time of his death. Geoff Peggs held memberships in the United States Parachute Association and Wichita Air Capital Skydiving Club. He was also the webmaster for the KSU parachute club. He is survived by his parents, José Hurlstone-Peggs and Jack Peggs, both of Wichita. "Geoff often said the cockpit would be his office one day," José Hurlstone-Peggs said. "He died before he could realize that dream, but we know that he would want others to realize this dream." "To Geoff, flight represented a connection to something spiritual," Jack Peggs said. "The vastness and beauty of the sky supplied Geoff with a unique meaning and purpose. It would never occur to Geoff that such marvels were anything to horde, and he could not be content unless he could introduce others to their wonder." "To excel in the challenges of becoming a professional pilot requires an almost passionate personal commitment as well as a significant financial obligation," said Marlon Johnston, head of the aviation department. "Through this scholarship, the Peggs family is sharing their son's example of passion for aviation as well as the financial support to meet those challenges. I'm honored to accept this support on behalf of our professional pilot students." The KSU Foundation coordinates fundraising efforts with alumni, friends, corporations and foundations to secure private support for Kansas State University.

oh and trust me ashley, all you're going to get at freaks is an ICE COLD shower, unless you stay up till 4 or so and get it when no one else is there chris

because of the way the vibrating tounge rings are set up. can't take the bottom off of the one end and slap the battery onto a normal tounge ring. it's built onto the barbell. but YOU could get one

On a similar note did everyone know KSUPC (K-State Parachute Club) Is having a memorial boogie next weekend? We're having the boogie in memory of Geoffrey Peggs to help riase money for his scholarship fund. No registration fee 2-182 (yeah that's a big things for us lol) over 2 sponsors so lets of free stuff food and beer June 14-15th www.ksu.edu/ksupc blue skies chris

man i know how it is. i can barely wake up to go to class or work, but when it comes to skydiving i'm up at 730am ready to go out to the dz. won't eat lunch or nothing and then just get home at midnight. it's amazine the love that we find in this sport.

lol beavers when we all have stories that begin with "no shit there i was when i thought i was going to die" you have stories that start with "no shit there i was when i thought i was going to run out of beer or become sober" hahah but they're still pretty good stories chris

hey shaun, collegiates is going to be in lake wales. and once you pass 100 jumps you can't be on a 2 way team. has to be a 4 way. lol won't find me flying 4way though, sorry

i'm not a slacker, i went to class

ahhhhh i feel like an idiot NFSW probably stands for not safe for work doesn't it hahaha hi i'm a collge gurdreit

well i'm taking summer classes so it's kept me a month longer. school ended like may 17th then my classes started up may 19th-june27th. i've got to gradurerate ummm sometime... i hope

oh yeah thanks. so my boss is standing here with me and i'm showing her pics of skydiving and what dropzone.com is and yeah rigger forum, picture, didn't read below... good thing she has a good sense of humor

man i've still got class till june 27th

sorry i didn't want to come across as a dick. i was being sarcastic and a smart ass as well. huggs...? i'll pass it around to our girls at the dz. i know pab was a fav during collegiates

hahah at collegiates 2 years ago there was a guy who screwed a dildo onto the top of his helmet. he stuck his head of to check the spot and it went limp. it was a f*cking riot in the plane lol chris

Sabre 170, 7 mins from taking the rig down to pin in. tha'ts what i'm in a hell of a hurry too. I still take some pride in packing even when i do it fast. chris

i see the problem. i'm a guy and didn't have to pay to have a beer with greg and pab last year, why would i have to pay 100? kinda high don't you think? maybe if you had started at liek 10 it would have gone up from there. simple economics and business principals. no one wants to be the first to bid and be the only. but if the price is low, everyone will bid and then it turns into a competition. my advise will be to lower the initial biddings... and what's the garauntee behind it? still saying i'll start at $1

lol i never realized your pic was of a a mohawk. just looked like a money or a dildo lol
