  1. I was asked on a pick up team, 4-motion. Can't wait. Also I am looking for a ride from Ontario, CA (ONT) Airport firday evenging Oct 1st about 7:55pm C ya Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time...
  2. So Jim: to side slide drop a knee and same arm. to center point turn drop a knee and opposite arm. To turn around a point (your head or a person) Drop knee and and same elbow, but dig in with the upper body or just put more into the lower body. Since you live near Perris go to the tunnel and watch people. Of course once you visit you will be paying to go in into the tunnel. Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time...
  3. Hey JJ if you find three people looking for a forth..... I am going to the national, but not with a team. Putting out feelers, I have people to jump with for the skyleage meets. But they either can not go, are already on a team. Oh we went out with Gordo last week, while he was up here. C ya Ps I miss u man, havent had my photo in the mags since you left.

  4. I remember reading an letter from Bill Dause. He wrote Parachutist complaining that requiring camera would put the cost out of reach for many teams. Before that I assume they used a telescope of sorts to judge the meet. Teams did a few less points and exited from 10 or so. I am guessing this was 20 years ago.
  5. I cant beleive Rick's is closed. the home of th ibtc. Of course it has been 20 years since i was there, and Ricks had been around for 20+ before that. So go to the Beach, I am sure it is still there. Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time...

  7. Wow that photo makes the perris tunnel look like it is run by burning coal. Hope everything is Ok. Has Hammo opened his bottle shop yet? Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time...
  8. 89 or terminal, this sport is no way to take yourself out. You claim 22years in the sport, but apparently your have not had a friend go in. Not to mention the problems it causes the skydiving community as a whole. I did not read the entire thread just a few posts. I hope you are kidding, and do not give some suicidal or depressed individual person encouragement. Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time...
  9. BlahBlah was our team name last year. Flying Bmw's cut things a little short. We have a plan for this year and I think our name is now Blala. We plan to make some jumps together next month. Sparky and I are planing to come down soon. C ya Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time...
  10. The operative term is accidental-death insurance policy. That is Not Life Insurance. In the state of oregon: If you get your Life policy before you skydive it will not exclude skydiving. Once you start skydiving they can not go back and exclude activities. But when you apply, if you do certian things, they can up charge you or you can chose to exclude it. Accidenial death polices have lots of exclusions. Ie: USPA insurance you must be at a group DZ. Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time...
  11. Hey Roy I had a fence charger that was for bulls. It literally would knock you on your ass. But it did not hurt you unless you hit your head on a rock or something. I had a dog that could escape from any thing, I tried the charger. This dog would sit and get in sync with the pulse and then go on the off beat.

  12. Hey Bill: I was reading about this Boy Scout that built a nuculear reactor in his Moms garden shed. He did this from stuff that could be found in dumps, antique stores and wal mart. That was not you was it? Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time...
  13. Hey Jess, I just switched from OC to IC. Work the mock up with video and have an expirenced 4way person watch your debreif. In the air you must go down on exit, that is not practical with the mock up. You might be jumping up and not down and out. Make sure your count is aggressive enough that everyone know when to go. Of course it takes 4 to make a nice exit. If the point is leaving early... Come to Eloy for easter and get some others insite. Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time...
  14. It seems like some of the people that are the most apprehensive, are the most ecstatic once we are in freefall. I think once they feel we are in control their emotions really ramp through the roof. Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time...
  15. A hung over TI should be fired. Fitness and mental clarity is part of the job. Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time...
  16. If you rent a 1994 ford escort, ( worth $4,000). you are responaable for the $4k. Not for a $22,000 new 2004 car. Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time...
  17. Hey Gus just jumped into the middle of this thread, but. In the US if you rent/hire a car you are responsible for damage and loss of a vehicle. You can elect to buy their insurance, very expensive. Or use you owne if you have it. Many young drivers have a hard time renting a car because they mush have a credit card and proof of insurance. Also if you wreck a rented car they will "try" to charge you for loss of use. But you only have to pay for what was lost. ie used car, used main. Not new.
  18. Maybe the Sheriff will sponsor a volunteer claw hammer turn in. That way they can redistribute our tax dollars to people who turn in old claw hammers. I fell safer just knowing that some one is thinking about protecting me from claw hammers. Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time...
  19. a medic can see pleanty of combat, and must have the balls to do his job in the worst conditions. Change his mos to cleaner of the latrines. Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time...
  20. I found the dive pool from the 97 nationals. Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time...
  21. Same here. I figured that if jumping with a full rucksac, knowing there would not be trucks on the DZ, was fun. Think what a blast adding beer would be. Little did I know I would become additcted to RW. Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time...
  22. So does this mean I will get stalkers? 1st jump course, and 2nd 1st jump course. PS how do i scan a doc so it uses only 60KB but gets the whole page.?? Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time...
  23. I agree with slug. IF you are paying cash get a receipt. I paid cash one sunday at a DZ that i only jump at occasionally. Imagine my surprise the next time i visited and was told I had a large balance. I explained & was believed, but now I pay by check. Always get a receipt with any cash tranactions and balance your account, not just Drop zones. If it is applied to the wrong account, how would you correct that months later?

  24. The Gap chart is too true. Ps Scotty I just got cable modem. It is 10,000 times faster than my 256k DSL. I am on fire. Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time...
  25. Hey Dave I got my tickets and we are going to Eloy for easter. Did some kick ass 8-10way at the Xmas boogie. I am up for a repeat, you in?? I remember Doc Sherry is the person i have a grip on in Mikes picture. Back to the 20 way question. I tried to find the 20-way dive pool on the internet and did not. But it is probally in the back issues of parachust. It looks like rain this weekend maybe i will find the dive pool and post that. Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time...
