    Sad but true - I will, however, be offering to coach people how to "Fly Like A Beagle" in 2006 B|:S

  5. I only use Ouragan now. I have just ordered a custom jacket for tandems...... no more schlepping - simply Ouragan from now on

  6. At Fingerlakes (NY) we use a simple walkie talkie system with an earpiece for the student. When I got there 6 years ago, the method of choice was a huge arrow at the peas which you ran around and the student flew in the direction of the arrow. I never quite did work out how they were supposed to see the arrow if they were flying away from it. When you got them on final, you were supposed to whip out the yellow flags, and the student was supposed to mimic your arm actions.

    The argument was that visual information was processed faster than aural information making for a speedier response. I didn't buy it then, and I don't buy it now.

    Where I trained at Skydive Palatka, FL, we had motorola radios, the only downside of which were we often heard the price of towels on Aisle 5 and intercepted a couple of interesting cell phone calls.

    All in all, I prefer radios until you're happy they're not going to damage the gear :S

    Thanks Scott, our ISP screwed up and the site is currently down as is the regular jumpshack email server. You can either call tomorrow or use my private email [email protected] which I will get at Jumpshack Sales.

    I am a tandem instructor with about 700 tandem jumps and that is one of the most inaccurate and stupid things I have ever heard about tandem jumping.


    That's not quite true, I was on the front end of one of your recurrency jumps and I'm pretty sure I pooped myself :S

  15. I got $240 (which is about the cost of the unit) but I sold it with 2 movies, a game and a theatre stand (worth in all about $130 more) - and it had been used about 5 times.

    We live and learn (sometimes....)

  16. I bought one, then sold it (at a loss) on ebay. The inconvenience of buying 2 sets of movies (DVD and UMD) and (at that time) there was no browser for it. I went to an IPAQ (I don't game).

    Plus side, the picture quality is excellent as is the sound with a theatre base.

    I'm happier with the IPAQ which is a true pocket pc (my $0.02)

    Cream played at my college end-of-year Ball in 1967.

    Anyone else here ever see them live and close-up?



    Oh yeah! Born in London in the 50's (Okay - I'm old!) I saw Cream a few times, saw Blind Faith at Hyde Park, and The Yardbirds, Jeff Beck, and A LOT more at The Marquee

  21. If they're not students, I wouldn't consider myself an instructor. I don't take Tandem Passengers, they're all students as far as I'm concerned. I instruct them at whatever level they feel comfortable with, including everything that's going on under parachute (unless it's really scary ) :S

    Everytime I buy a pair of dress socks one of them dissapears within a month, where do they always go?



    do you masturbate a lot? One sock missing out of each pair is usually a sign...........;)

  25. I was going to see "Walk the line", but this week has left me in need of some humor, so on a whim I went to see "Just Friends"

    - to quote Chuck Blue "It is fucking funny" - actually it is fucking hilarious ;)
