  1. Don't plan on shooting there but i've had a number of talks with Mike Mcgowan and the other guys on staff. I've gotten answers to these questions prior to this I just wanted more angles on this. Anyways thanks for the answers and keep them blue! Lost a ton of money chasing girls but no girls chasing money. http://whuffofree.com!!!WHUFFO FREE!!!!
  2. I'm over 400(not to mention tunnel time) jumps with 290 of those in the last season...I've jumped camera with friends as well as have about 100+ coached dives with experienced instructors who all say im good to go with camera, if i like too. As for the search function(i am not a moron), i have done a search and haven't found anything specifically about tandems. I just wanted some outside input on the equipment other people were using. As well as whats things you wish you knew when you started. Oh also, I have my cameras (not asking what to buy) Just wondering what you are using. I've dont that research awhile ago and I do photography on the ground for years. Lost a ton of money chasing girls but no girls chasing money. http://whuffofree.com!!!WHUFFO FREE!!!!
  3. So I'm going to start jumping with tandems doing video this next season. Few questions 1) What gear are you guys using (still/lens/video/camera suit/helmets etc)? 2) What challenges should I be on the look out for during this time? 3)Any words of wisdom?

  4. I place the cords in a special tape that matches wall color. My fireplace comes into the room a few feet so it gave me a "cove" on the right side to hide cords. My digital cable box, dvd..etc..is IN the fireplace now, might get some use out of it :-) I live in Arizona why they put fireplaces here is beyond me. So if you look close you can see where the cords run but they are out of the way. Lost a ton of money chasing girls but no girls chasing money. http://whuffofree.com!!!WHUFFO FREE!!!!
  5. Hahaha! That is awesome. "I'd like a Chick-Fil-a sam-a-ich" "Okay, one Big Mac coming up, anything else?" Lost a ton of money chasing girls but no girls chasing money. http://whuffofree.com!!!WHUFFO FREE!!!!
  6. https://escrow.com/index.asp is a great way to make sure you get paid and would put the buyer at ease as well. Just bought a rig on here and it made me unease. A few of the people I contacted did turn out to be scamming, once i mention escrow.com they suddenly "sold" the rig and delete the entry from DZ.com. It costs about the same as western union if not a little more but it works great! Lost a ton of money chasing girls but no girls chasing money. http://whuffofree.com!!!WHUFFO FREE!!!!
  7. Took this off of the God's of the chicken sammich website. Peanut Oil We have been using refined (heat processed) peanut oil exclusively since our founder created the Chick-fil-A® Chicken Sandwich in the early 1960s. He found it to be the purest oil to use and better tasting to customers. We label our foil bags, Chick-fil-A Nugget boxes, and Waffle Fry bags to inform customers of our use of peanut oil. We also communicate our peanut oil message through our Web site, nutrition brochures, and our menu boards. The menu boards include a message about the use of peanut oil at the bottom of some of the panels. The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends limiting your intake of saturated and trans fatty acids, with most of you fat intake coming from polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. Peanut oil has no trans fat, no cholesterol, is low in saturated fat, and has a good balance of healthy unsaturated fats (mono and polyunsaturated fats). Studies have shown that mono and polyunsaturated fats help to reduce the risk of heart disease. Our Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich has 2g saturated fat, 2.5g polyunsaturated fat, and 5 grams monounsaturated fat. The following information regarding the use of oils and food allergies was obtained from the International Food Information Council Foundation.* Q. Are oils derived from foods that can cause allergy, such as peanut oil, also allergenic? A. Not usually. Most commercial oils such as peanut oil are highly refined (hot solvent extracted), which removes protein from the product. These types of oil are most commonly used in commercial food preparation. Since it is protein in allergenic foods that causes food allergy, highly refined oils are non-allergenic. Research has shown that individuals with a severe peanut allergy have not had reactions to heat processed oils. However, people with a food allergy should avoid “gourmet” or cold pressed oils because they may contain allergenic proteins, which provide the flavor to the oil. For the same reason, oils that have been used to fry potentially allergenic foods should be avoided by allergic individuals. *Used with permission from International Food Information Council Foundation Publication- Questions and Answers About Food Allergy Lost a ton of money chasing girls but no girls chasing money. http://whuffofree.com!!!WHUFFO FREE!!!!
  8. I justed mounted a 42" to my fireplace using a 2x6 board and the mounts. The Studs were about 49" a part. We used 4 crew on each side plus 10 pairs in-between. Before we put it up I was hanging from the 2x6 board, im 184lbs. It's been there for about 2weeks now. We painted the board to make it blend in better - looks great. Anyways, thats my 2cents. :-) Lost a ton of money chasing girls but no girls chasing money. http://whuffofree.com!!!WHUFFO FREE!!!!
  9. The Bent Prop is closed right now :), hopefully it will be opened for most of nationals but Sunday (14th) It was closed up... Anyways, I have work Thursday. or I would take you down. I will be down there Sunday Morning, give me something to look for so I can hunt you down.
  10. I didn't do the package deal, I did it on a Pay-When-Ican plan... worked out well for me because I didnt have the 1600 to toss into it at the time. As for the School out here, It is awesome. Pretty much sums it up...
  11. This could get pretty risky but fun. Like in Skyball ppl always will swoop for the ball and barely miss some peeps (the stupid person) Icould see 2 people diving for the same flag at the same time and well.....Ekkkkk.
  12. Which DZ would be the best to play around, I am going to Ft Laurderdale (SP) so! WHere is a good DZ around there, and keep in mind I am use to Perris and Eloy....

    EARTHQUAKE

    Yah one of my skydivin bros just moved down here from Washington and has missed all the fun riots and such, now he missed this big event too... :-)
  14. I might be making a trip to elsinore here soon than... When is the best time to go?
  15. Strangest thing I got was when I took my jump suit into the tailors, They said "Here is your bike outfit..." I was like "I ride really far in this all the time." Another one that I can think of didnt happen to me but one of the Airspeed guys, He took his pics in of them swooping in and the lady at the photo counter said "We couldnt get all of the balloons into the picture..."
