  1. Nice pics! Did you get video of the wrap?
  2. Wendy, I remember you from 96? Convention, I was load organizing with Mike and Chucky. Thanks for the info.
  3. Yo Dawgs! Not much activity on this end of the forum. Thought I would break the ice. I've taken the last 10 years off, and recently started jumping again. I attached an old team pic from 1988. Mike Lewis on top, myself, Peggy Fleming, and my brother Dan Test. Any old Tampa Crew people on here? Walt Test DZW#5
  4. I had a great time! I'm a bit overwhelmed by the improvements up there. Skydive City has always been a 1st rate facility, but the new clubhouse is "Over the Top".
  5. 20 minutes away is convenient, but 2 hours is manageable. Go to the DZ half as often, but make twice as many jumps. Strap a Go-Pro on your chest strap, and maybe you'll be more popular Start your own group, and call your group something like the "Slutmasters" "sky bastards" "Free-Flailers" motto-(I'll go down with anyone!) Design a funny T-shirt, and print some up. If someone likes the shirt, tell them they can earn one by jumping with you. Bring a grill, and cook hot dogs and burgers. Put out a sign saying "free-lunch if you'll jump with me" Try wearing a pork chop around your neck. When someone asks why, tell them your mother made you wear it so that dogs will play with you! Always bring beer to the DZ!
  6. Do the skydivers @ your DZ hang out and drink large quantities of beer after sunset? If no, then you need to jump elsewhere. If yes, you should be buying beer and making friends. It's tough to break into some crowds. If your having a hard time there, then jump elsewhere. Some of your best opportunities will be @ boogies. They'll have load organizers. Sometimes you can hook up with the people camping around you. Put yourself out there. Don't misrepresent your skill level, and you'll be fine.
  7. I just found this forum. I've been jumping since 1982. I have taken the last 10 years off, and have just started jumping again in the last 12 months. I went to the Z-Hill's Turkey meet/ 50 year reunion last week, and remembered how much I love/missed this sport. Walt
