So, at the Collegiate Boogie at Palatka on Sunday, they had a huge inflatable Gator for the swoopers to High Five. A few made it, Jeff Colley of course, but I do believe only one made it while landing a tandem!!!!! GO ART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On a Racer the Date of Manufacture is the serial No. It's on the door covering the reserve pins, on all Jumpshack Canopies (Firebolt, Angelfire etc) it on the data panel sewn into the center cell rib.

It's yours, and as long as you're going to jump it, you can do anything you like to it. Please just get video of the first flat pack on the brand new zp and post it here Just kiddin' it'll be a little trickier than a F111 canopy and depending on the model "may" not have packing tabs.... but we do a variation on a flat pack on every canopy we ship out.....

it was good to see the depth of Don's influence at his memorial. The military did a great job, and at least one person in the circle commented on how many skydiving lives Don touched. If you did AFF (either as a student or an instructor) Don was almost certainly involved in your training, your instructor's training or the training of your instructor's instructor. He'll be missed for sure, and a huge thanks to Marat for letting me use the pics.

It doesn't matter - we've hijacked the thread and shouldn't have. Anyway, I may have just wanted to publicly disagree with Bill and see what shit that stirred up, (I actually do disagree with him here, but still.....)

and as someone who has pro-packed a few thousand tandem mains without a line over, I'll say... "Manage your lines properly, pro-pack carefully and you'll avoid most malfunctions too".

Hey Kim on the resume page I had text bleed over the graphics, I'm not sure how the FrontPage interface is, but most visitors will find it distracting. I think you should size the image in Photoshop to fit the frame/table that you are placing it in, and use the "Save for web" feature. Even on a fast broadband some of those pictures took a long time to load. The layout was very nice though and I (for one) loved the color scheme as it fit with the style of the site. Very nice job....... Peter www.badfishfreefly.com Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

Yeah - but those hourly rates will kill your jump budget....... (unless you're really quick like me) 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 have posted some of the shots that Marat took at the Memorial here http://sidsrigging.com/galleries/don_gallery/index.htm I'll leave them up for a while........ 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'm pretty new at Tandems, did all my first batch of jumps on an EZ, really heavy toggle pressure and a pain. Have since jumped the RW Sigma and the JumpShack Firebolt 350, both are nice canopies with lighter toggle pressure - the Firebolt has a more dynamic flare (disclaimer - I occassionally work for JumpShack, but that's my honest opinion).

At the last Jaguars game of the regular season, my best friend Jeff Colley (Manager at Skydive Palatka) proposed to his girlfriend Jessica.... and she of course said yes. The kicker (intentional pun)? He did it on the halfway line, with 50,000 people watching and in imminent danger of getting run over by 12,000 lbs of nfl man-meat running out of the tunnel. Congratulations Jeff and Jess - 2 of my favorite people!
