On my second jump, one of the TI's there insisted I use his gloves----Seal Skins---They are a little spendy, but they really work well...warm, flexible and good grip.

It still seems really small to me. I did my tandem out of a nice roomy Caravan with a big door. I don't think I'm quite ready for that diving exit yet, but it has a certain appeal. At least I wouldn't be worried about slipping off the step. It strikes me as being a pretty irrational fear--to worry about slipping off the step I'm going to jump off any way. It's the same 10000 feet. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HD TV, with 2. HDTV receiver 3. DirecTV HD receiver 4. 5 LNB HD DTV dish 5. DirecTV HD subscription I already have three HD wide screen TV's in my 40 foot diesel pusher bus, and regularly watch all the networks in HD, on a crank up antenna.

WI-Fly 0 #23 December 31, 2007 They are in Wisconsin, they broadcast in 720p. Same with ABC since both channels show many sports, they show in 72p. NBC and CBS go out in 1080i which is not that much better...Always go with a "p" if you can, 1080p is the higest but nobody broadcast in that yet and won't for some time. That is only on Blu-ray or HD-DVD movies for now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
