do you know what the prices are going to be as of yet ? or is that depending on how much the power co. gouges you to hook that thing up >

as most people on here have said exercise. i was have back problems about 2 years ago and my back would hurt so bad i could not sleep then i realized i had turned into a big wuss i started lifting weights 3 times a week and running the other three. back problems are gone. sit-ups and crunches for strength in the front then do some good mornings you can use a broom to start with put it on your shoulders like you are going to do a squat the just bend forward at the waist. do 12-15 of each three times, three times a week and back will be new before long.

What are some of the things i should practice before jumping a wing suit ? i want to do a wingsuit jump but do not want to go into it blind how many jumps should i have and what are some things to practice before i jump a bird suit ? thanks all birdmen and women in advance.

sad thing is most stolen gear will not be reported til long after if is bought and if it is reported to uspa it will take it months to get into the magizine. did anyone get the serial # from this guy

has anyone heard of and aeroglide main canopy ? i can not seem to find the manufacture of this parachute. if anyone has heard of them or jumped on of these mains could you give me your opinion on it. and what kindof material it is made of etc.etc. thanks for your time

i dont have a neptune and have never played with one but is there a volume control like on pro-track you have normal and high volume. sometimes i do not hear my protrack if i am concertrating real hard on flying. HTH

what do you guys think should i list names and phone #'s and e-mail addresses. there is two guys.

hi all not sure if this is the correct place to post this but here goes> I bought some stolen gear off here over a year ago found out it was stolen when i sent cypres in for 4 year service. i checked it all before i bought it and of course i dowsized and sold it again before i new it was stolen. any way my ? do i need to sue the guy i bought it from to get my money back or should he be ordered to pay restitution through the courts to me nobody seems to have this answer since the gear was bought over the net and he lives in GA and i live in WA. the cypress that i kept out of the gear was sent back to the owner with disagreement on my part and i have located all the other gear and the guys are going to be willing to give it back and the place it was stole from said they would help us out on new gear a little. so everything will work out but if the cops just arrest him for theft and he ends up doing comunity service or something that is not justice for me or the other guys. i think we should be able to get the money back that we are out! if anyone has dealt with this before please let me know thanks

i papid with my paypal account. and paypal will only release the info to the authorities. thanks for your help

o.k how about can i search for the users to see if i can find the name of the guy i have a e-mail address but i dont know if it is the right one at one time you could search for users on here but i dont see that optoin anymore.

is there anyway to find and classified add froma year ago i just found out the gear i bought over a year ago was stolen i checked all the places to check before i bought the gear but i noticed that they did not report it stolen on hear until 8 months after it was stolen and they said they did not report it to ssk and the manufactures for about 3-4 weeks after it was stole and i found out by sending my cypress in it is a big headache so if anyone can help thanks i bought it on march 29,2003 and it was stole on march 26, 2003 as reported by the previous ownwer. thanks mike

i love jumping at kapowsin the staff is very freindly and helpful. the grounds are always clean the grass is mowed indoor and outdoor packing areas. poeple there are awsome they give advice and don't look down upon you if your a newbie. they have about everthing that you would need in there little gear store like gogles and altimeters,, batts, etc,etc, heck even if you need a new container or rig repair you walk up a flight of stairs to Velocity. the planes are clean and well kept the otter just had some new super engines put on it and it will get you to altitude in a hurry. lots of flying styles RW, FF, CRW, birdman, Swooping (they even have a pond) whatever your style is there is someone there to jump with. if you want to do a big way show up and be ready to go find Cheeto he will have one going most all day long, on the warm clear blue days you can not do any better than to be at Kapowsin Air Sports. but beware if you do something wrong such as landing not flying a pattern or just something stupid then be prepared for Jessie or Keri or any of the rest of the staff to voice their opionion on it but dont be offended and listen to what they say they are only doing it cause they care about the jumpers there and don't like to see anyone hurt. other than that jump have fun and enjoy.

[It doesn't matter how experienced you are or how well you pack, or how good your rig is. ]*** I have been following this post and the way I see it is you have a 1 in 25k chance of a double mal. If you jumped the same rig for 25k jumps, and did not have it repacked or inspected or used it in those 25k jumps, I think yes your chances would increase with every jump but after you use your reserve or have it repacked or buy a new rig whatever the case may be. Your chances would be reset to 1 in 25k. Just as your example with the russian roulette thing if you spun the barrel one time then pulled the trigger for 25k and never spun the barrel again then yes your chances are greater that you would hit the bullet before 25. If you was on 24999 then don't pull that trigger next time. But every time you spin the barrel it just reset you chances to 1 in 25k again. But since you have you reserve repacked, buy new gear, new reserve, etc, etc, then you chances are always 1-25k that you will have a double mal. and the Russian roulette thing is a bad example because you have little chance of stopping the bullet or moving out of the way. You can survive a double mal. If it is a line over and you have a hook knife with you the cut the line that is over the front of your reserve and bingo your saved. There is no way to know what your malfunction will be but you can be prepared for it. I treat every jump as i could have a malfunction and go through my emergancy procedurs and what i would do if it happened. So bottom line is be prepared! know that you have a 1in 25k chance that you are going to have a double mal. But hope it is not your day! Pay for whoever is unlucky enough that day to have one! THIS IS JUST MY TWO CENT WORTH!

i hope you all are having fun and lots off safe jumps i couldn't make it cause the ex-wife said she couldn't take the kids for x-mas and geuss what she calls at the first of the week after x-mas and wants them so i cancelled my plane tickets and all my reservations there in eloy and i checked on plane tickets to get there for new years eve and they are way to much so the only thing i can say is i wish i could be there but ohh well i had a good x-mas wiht the kids and i will see some of you at the end of january BLUE SKIES have fun be safe

i hate when people say make me an offer then you say "how about $xxxx. dollars and they say oh i need more than that " so if i was you i would offer him some low ball price like $2500.00 then he will say oh i at least got to have $3000.00 or something like that so then you know where you stand and hey if he takes the 2500 then you got a super good deal and if you can't sleep cause you feel guilty then throw in a couple of hundred extra.
