NESkydivr 0 #1 May 2, 2006 Hi all! Have belonged to DZ.com for some time. Have done LOTS of bouncing around forums, just never piped up. Been in the sport about three years and have 45 jumps (I know...pretty pitiful, but believe me...if cashflow was better, I'd have that number in the hundreds.) Anyway, I'm in Nebraska and had my firs....um...I mean "initial" jump out of a SkyVan a couple weekends ago. MAN...that was the best! Still renting equipment and my DZ is great (skydivecrete.com.) Lots'o'knowlege there. Everyone is helpful and willing. Planned on getting my own rig this spring and...BAM...job loss. Anyway, back in the saddle with a job and looking for equipment. Will be visiting the used gear forum alot. I'll be watchin! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 35 #2 May 2, 2006 Welcome to the forums! Good luck on finding your gear quickly. You'll be able to do so much better on your jump numbers when you're not paying that rental fee.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for helping to put things in perspective I guess I should be more thankful for what I "have" been able to do instead of what I "haven't."I LOVE jumping clouds, but jumping triples takes most of my time (and $$$)!

I did a jump before I went into work yesterday and it was such a great jump that I still had permagrin after I started my shift and about 4 people at my table (i'm a poker dealer) say "Chad, I've never seen you with such a look of excitement!" lolConvo between my friend and his ex...

DaLowestBird 0 #8 May 5, 2006 Oh no, I just deal the cards and the other players play amongst each other. I just control the game and don't lose money. Convo between my friend and his ex...
