  1. I got mine back after a second DWI. The FAA will tell you exactly what to do. It up you to do it. It can be done with AA. I can vouch for that.
  2. I used them last season and will definitely use them again. My advice is to be smarter than me and practice using them with someone who really could do without them. My first time using the pants was with a 100 Kg quad. The learning curve was steep.
  3. someone told me once to push the risers together at the three rings.......has worked for me with lots of twists...pretty easy to do and takes the tension out of the line twists.
  4. I have a question for anyone local. I checked some stuff out but I don't want step on any toes or any thing along those lines. Please respond By PM. Eric.

  8. It is gay as balls on another man's chin.

  10. I really wish I had the option to get Skydiving Magazine instead of Parapoopist with my USPA membership. Or not get any magazine and pay half of what a membership costs and just read the magazines in the DZ bathroom.
  11. Some of the finest cinema I have ever seen. I highly recommend it for the whole family. Seriously. No, Really.

  16. Anyone here ever lost their airman's medical due to DWI? Did you get it back and if so how you go about it? I need to know so I can get my TM rating back. PMs would be nice. Thanks.
  17. I think you should dominate the universe for millions of dollars plus stock options.
  18. I can't wait till next year already. I had a ton of fun, made some awsome skydives, sold some dye work, and made some new friends. That's what it's all about. Thanks to all, you know who you are.
  19. The best one I ever saw was in a pic my girl Paula from Spaceland sent me. It said NEEDWOOD CEMETARY and she was underneath it flashing her boobs.
  20. This question is really easy to answer with regards to the main reasons why more women don't base jump and it has nothing directly to do with the archiac crap about women being more social and men more logical. It's about expendible income and exposure. If more women had more money (still it's 70 cents to the man's dollar for the same job) and more exposure the the sport, there would be more base jumping women. Think about it like this, what if we change the group to say, people of african or latino descent? Is there fewer male latino jumpers because latinos are less logical and 'solo/wandering' oriented than white men? If I posted that I'd get totally ripped for being a racist and yet nobody made that connection and spoke up while there was a lot of garble about women tending to be this or that way and men tending to be another. It's about expendible income (which certianly does lead to women having to spend a greater percentage on family oriented stuff) and exposure/social acceptance.
  21. I was recently on a trip and was "selected" by the gestapo, I mean Homeland Security, to have all of luggage, checked and carry-on, searched. As I was being told what was going to happen I mentioned that I had a rig in my carry-on and one in my checked luggage. The security person became quite excited and called out to his supervisor. He came over and look at my rig and stated that he had never dealt with any parachuting gear before. At this point I was past being pissed off and calmly told them that I would help them in any way possible. I helped them to unpack both of rigs and they proceeded to pat down every inch of fabric. What I did to help minimize my troubles in getting my gear back into my suitcases was to unfold it in such a way as to allow them to search my canopies to their liking and allow me to field pack my rigs at the same time. All in all it was fairly painless, but f*ck those guys.
