[reply Guess I'm one of the weirdos who likes packing Racers. I don't think they're more difficult, just different. Its the itty bitty Mirages (like my container) that frustrate me. Oh well, to each his own

I won't pack the shit of anyone that kept me waiting more than 2 weeks to get paid (you know who you are) and you're DEFINITELY never getting a "Sid rigs my shit" sticker! Otherwise I'm not touching this thread 'cause I'm still recovering from the emotional scars from last time Happy Holidays Everyone!

HOLY CRAP COWDEN! (Pun intended) you have WAY too much time on your hands, come down here and join Tim's Bigway Birthday jump on Saturday instead of staying up there moping Sid Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

about 20 of us were invited by Syracuse IMAX (at the M.O.S.T.) - they asked us to the VIP Premiere (they obviously didn't know us very well). Most people enjoyed it, the cinematography is stunning, the premise lame (don't tell me why I skydive, I'll tell you!) and the tie in with Leonardo's design is sketchy. Sure Adrian flies the design, but Leonardo's original thoery was "and shall land without harm" and I'd have paid good money top see anyone try and land that!!!!!!!!!

Check out the galleries on www.thepinkmafia.com and tell me they don't qualify! I've been working on this site for a few weeks now and I swear I'm going blind Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

I've had a few canopies coated by Dick Swanson of the Malone Parachute Club and everyone of them had significant improvements to flight and longevity. The downside, they can open quicker as the lines get slick and let the slider down faster but that can be remedied. In all the cases that I've had it done it's been beneficial Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

Hey, ain't we come a long way! I remember a few total mals with the first jumping of that costume (course you were wearing it at the time) - congratulations Buddy, it couldn't make a star of a nicer guy!

in this article about the Jump Shack "speedbag" http://www.sidsrigging.com/Articles/equipmentarticles/speedbag.htm I refer to John Shermans theory that the distribution of mass of the lines is one of the most important aspects of the line stowing process. Having the bands in the middle makes it easier to distribute their mass evenly, and avoid making the stows so that they can wrap around each other causing a potential malfunction. I think it is the better way to go....... Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

We have taken many of the suggestions and implemented them. There are now more sky pics (and more coming), the gallery that I'm working on explains that the thumbnails won't open up, the picture on the entrance page is now a link (and will be changing over thenext few weeks to an animated graphic), the home page now has more details about the Pink Mafia and we have a log (guest) book. Thanks to everyone for all of their comments www.thepinkmafia.com we are still working on the site and will be adding new pictures as they arrive and updating the events calendar as needed.
