How much jumping must one do before you would consider him a "regular"?

But oh how much fun PLF's were under those round babies. Yeah right! PLF my ass. Hope you don't break something on impact!



Yeah, you know it! I remember one of my landings under a 35 footer as I pounded in trying to PLF in a dirty plowed field on a hot summer day. And I'm sure as I laid there on my back with all this gear on including an old motorcycle helmet, trying to catch my breath, partially covered by my trusty old T10, and watching the cloud of dust that I generated swirl up about me that I must have looked like that poor guy at the end of the skydiving sequence in the movie Fandango!! B|:S

Yep, those were the days when skydivers were men and the women knew it!! Yee-haaa.....

A year, 100 jumps, or present for beer a bunch of weekends in a row (whichever comes first).

I paid $1700 for my first rig in 95/96. Prices haven't changed
too much.

If you buy from a private party, you probably won't e able to make payments - although your bank may make a personal loan.

Absolutely right. Gotta have them jump boots on. And I had to keep saying to my self "This is fun, this is fun, this is FUN..."
