  1. G3 MXS with a 306 bag, holding a katana 120 (Tight). I have been jumping this setup for two seasons and absolutely love this bag, pack time is the same since it's a tight fit, but the container fit is exactly the same as the MXS bag, didn't have to change a thing. Fly it like you stole it!
  2. Sherpa (9) and Sierra (3), Belgian Malinois, well Sherpa may be a Sable GSD mal mix but Sierra is pure. Both are crazy high energy. Sierra Sherpa Double Trouble Fly it like you stole it!
  3. Climbing Shoes are so personal, so I'll skip that one. As for tablets, well I've had a Motorola Xoom for ages now, in that amount of time my husband has gone through 3 ipad. I have been looking to replace the xoom cause well I've had it for ages, but I've yet to find anything out there that is outstanding. My current front runner though is the Asus Transformer series. Has a high screen resolution, lots of power, and an optional keyboard that I think should be standard but that is just me. From the reviews though it seems the battery life may not be as good as some other tablets, but as long as I can get about 6 hours out of it I'm happy. Fly it like you stole it!
  4. I remember that boogie I had a broken wrist, so spent 90% of it drunk at the bent prop. LOL Oh and I think I'm the old fart, who remembers rec.skydiving Fly it like you stole it!
  5. I do have to add something, if you heard about the water barrel tube jump in Moab. The camera survived going in with the barrel, unfortunately Craig had turned it off right before exit when check to make sure it was on. LOL So no video of the epic water splash. This would also make it the only camera to have survived a HooknSwoop project. Fly it like you stole it!

    iPhone 5,

    LOL, that whole video sounds like a conversation between Derek and I...."the iPhone has XYZ, yeah, my Atrix 2 already has that." Fly it like you stole it!
  7. Since you are from the Midwest you may be going to couchfreaks and some of the guys from the tunnel will be there selling discounted coached tunnel time as well as organizing and coaching. Otherwise here is the link to the coaching page but it looks like it may not be 100% up to date, so feel free to call the tunnel and they will be more than happy to help you find a coach that will fit exactly what you are looking to work on. I'm partial to Derek V (hooknswoop) as well but I'm married to him so I have to say that. :P http://skyventurecolorado.com/index.php?page=1005 Fly it like you stole it!

    iPAD

    Had mine for several months now, but I got it as a gift and was my 1st apple product, so take that into consideration. Also it's the wifi only version. I like it for reading books (ibooks & kindle), light surfing of the web, watching movies on plane, playing simple games like sudoku. As well as for doing quick checks of email instead of having to grab my phone if I don't want to boot up the laptop. Dislike that the OS doesn't have multitasking, it's constant need for iTunes, won't charge off of a PC's USB, and doesn't support flash games or videos, Would I buy one on my own after owning it...nope wouldn't waste my money. Fly it like you stole it!
  10. Rusty Lewis is also a good person to contact, he would know when instructor courses are going on all over the country. [email protected] Fly it like you stole it!
  11. Derek and I had a great time again this year. Thanks everyone for the help with his surprise, I don't think it will ever be topped. See you at Couch and Redemption 2011. Fly it like you stole it!
  12. Ohhhh...I'm going to have to get pink jammies for the slumber party. Fly it like you stole it!
  13. I'll be your date, we can shack up in the pink shack. ;) Kelli Fly it like you stole it!
  14. Hooknswoop and I will be there Friday morning. Can't wait! Fly it like you stole it!
  15. Sure ya'll can still fly without a big fan underneath ya? Woo hoo!!! Hey now for the record our tunnel sucks, it doesn't blow. LOL Actually Derek has been load organizing this summer for then tunnel on the boogie circuit, so we can even land those silly canopies, and let's just say I'm glad there is no corn on the island, I'm ready for new obstacles to have to hit accuracy around. LOL Fly it like you stole it!
  16. It's official Hooknswoop and I will be there on Friday the 6th to do some jumping between days playing in the ocean. Woo Hoo Kelli Fly it like you stole it!
  17. I actually haven't flown it without the upgraded bungee. I replaced it right away cause I know of several helmets lost on opening from riser slaps as well as a few lost in the tunnel. I did set and forget it with the new bungee though, and I will say backflying at headdown speeds does make it want to lift, but the bungee stays tight and keeps it in place. Fly it like you stole it!
  18. Not sure about the havok, but the Z1 is definitely FF friendly, I fly head down with mine. I did replace the weak cheap ass neck bungee with the heavy duty kind used to hold legstraps together. Fly it like you stole it!
  19. Oh wow, blast from the past thread. 4 years later Sherpa is still extremely reliable off lead and greets me ever day at the door with a toy. Interestingly enough he was supposed to be the pre-replacement for my 11 year old dog who I was sure was on her last leg. Hmmm, she is 15 now and still kicking his butt. LOL Fly it like you stole it!
  20. Obviously not for a Toyota Tacoma like my vehicle. What were they for? At 2K per box . . . sounds like a set of Fine Wire Iridium Plugs. Probably for a Twin engine - With 6 cyl each and tw plugs per cyl. Well mine aren't quite that expensive but they are around $140 for 4, but you have to order them online cause no one carries them. This is for an RX8, but on the flip side it's really easy to get to them to replace. Fly it like you stole it!
  21. Hooknswoop and I are heading out the afternoon of the 2nd, so we will be ready for some jumping on the 3rd. Fly it like you stole it!
  22. I recommend contacting all the tunnels you are interested in visiting and ask for their bulk rates when buying that much time. Most of them will make deals beyond their advertised price especially if you will be flying during off peak hours which for some tunnels is the middle of the day while others late at night. Fly it like you stole it!
  23. I believe the proper way to be the only male on an all woman jump is to be wearing a bikini or something just as humiliating. Fly it like you stole it!
  24. Hey, There will be some CO chicks there, I'm working the SVCO booth, but I'm sure the guys will let me out of the cage to represent the CO ladies. Kelli Fly it like you stole it!
  25. So it looks like I have a ride. Thanks Riddler! Fly it like you stole it!
