  1. Ooh, I like it... turn it into an '80's theme with Parachute pants and everything and play MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This" in the background! That's how we're living, and you know!? Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  2. I don't think they really plan them... cats are narcoleptics - they're just playing hand wrestle with you and then all of a sudden they're asleep! Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  3. She'd love it - she's my exact size so she can use my Classic and I can try out my new S3!!! Look forward to flockin' with ya Tami! Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  4. Not true, read Phree's post above. I do believe that folks either agree or disagree and that's usually personallity driven. Chuck, myself, Scott, all military folks believe in systems being put in place for safety's cause. It's in our military training and in our blood. Other folks think differently. Again, personality differences. In person, this conversation would look much different but I'm almost positive Jason and Chuck would still disagree... Chuck's Scott/Irish - pretty damn stubborn - but, he's passionate about wingsuiting and BELIEVES in what he's saying. From one of Jason's earlier posts in this thread: "I come to these forums for entertainment-- I get entertainment from raising eyebrows and debate.(**ITS NOT REAL LIFE**) in real life things are not misconstrued as there is voice inflexion used to get your point across - typing without the human body language and tone of the voice is hard to "read" I have been known at times to be an ass (lots of times actually) but this post was not intended to be one of them." Jason enjoys debate probably just for the sake of debating. I see him somewhat as a devil's advocate (except he's actually practicing some of the points he debates) as opposed to an ass... I never get worked up over these posts but I saw Phree go through the same thing a few years ago. I do believe that you have to play by someone else's rules no matter who they are (manufactorer, bmi, bmci, etc.) in order to keep your dropzone safe just in case some tragedy would occur. We've been fortunate not to have many wingsuit accidents but I believe that's a direct result of the training involved with a ffc and training head's up students with fair jump numbers. Safe (keep your your dz out of legal trouble) = Manufacturers recommendations + SIM guidance + DZO rules.
  5. That looked like a great exit! A little waffly at the bottom - but the flyer's arms were really tired with the passenger's weight! Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here

  9. but have you called him at his work and tried to get hem to put you on air???? Once I figure out the whole time zone thing, he's getting it! You should hear the voice mail he just left me! Shocking, absolutely shocking! Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  10. Yep, guess that means I better get back on my belly a bit! I'm doing 4-way again this year, just for fun, and am going to try to get some tunnel time too. My biggest weakness now is formation approach so we'll see how I do in April! Oh, and my room's full... I might have room for 1 if Mouth backs out on me!
  11. Now, THAT's funny!!! Some DZ's (like Cross Keys for example) seem to be tandem factories and therefore the instructors seem to be mules. But, most of the dz's I've been to have a good mix of tandems and AFF and the school manager does a good job rotating the instructors. Here, at Raeford, it isn't uncommon to see an instructor stay with a student through coach jumps as well if there isn't a "cheaper" coach available. Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  12. yep - be there at 7... i'll make sure we got a place to put our behinds!
