I have a Safire 2 229. Great Canopy. Can't say about the Sabre 2 cause I have never jumped one. Although, I did have a Spectre 230 and enjoyed it as well. As far as customer service....SUCKS. Don't waste your time or your coin in calling and talking with anyone because they forget about you as soon as you hang up. But, as said, great canopy.

As if...6 jumps/ 1 case owed for my 100th!!!

Beth, It really was nice meeting you in person. We had a great day of some really nice dives..although we could have used some more altitude huh. The skies sorta closed in on us a little, but we got one low one in before they decided to fly home to Erie. Thank you for the nice compliment...sweet lady...come back out and see us again before you have to leave. Let us know if you need a ride, we can and are always driving too. Ram and the Mrs.

Well I was there, didn't run into anyone I shouldn't have. Nice weather for Friday and Saturday..Sunday am left to go home...weather was crap.

I voted for #1. I think if your planning on doing any jumping in warm/warmer/hot/humid type weather the other ideas are just simply gonna suck all the heat right in and make it cool for the rest of us..

Well there you go, twisting my arm ever so firm, so I guess I'm going to be there. Will be there on Friday and Saturday...got to have Sunday to drive back home. Looking forward to meeting and jumping with some LI folks. BTW...any Anvils wanna eat up some altitude w/me??

Our DZ only pie's when you get 1000 jumps or more...so very very few pie's there...sorta boring, so if ya want to NOT be pied, come to our dz...

Not an expert, just some advice that Mo Valetto and my DZO passed on to me one day...Big Guys get Mini NOTHING. And, I'm a big guy. So without saying, regualar size stuff for me.

I have 1 ring. It has gotten pulled a little from my chest strap from time to time. I have never put anything over it, but it has long since been healed up. The little crusties as you put it, you should wash them dailing and move and/or rotate the ring and keep the movement as free as you can. Don't go to long without a complete cleaning of them. You should do fine with the bandaid, or better yet, some of the "paper" tape type stuf that is cheap, comes off easily, and doesn't leave adheasive on you as much. It may even stay put better then the Band-Aid. Just try what you feel is best. Remeber, it only hurts when your chest strap pulls it, or if you are pulling it !!! Blues

Yes, you are correct ...hope your time in Canada was nice..it was a little hot and humid...but we jumped all weekend here too....Mark

Ditto...Place the D-Bag into the tray with grommet up, a little fit here fit there stuff...bottom, top, left, right...jump...repeat...

OK OK your never allowed to post like that again...unless its AFF OK. Glad to hear you got back up to the DZ since Safety Day was like agawdaful time ago it seems...See ya in the Blue stuff...

My Wifes parents are Croatian Citizens by birth and live in NYC...My wife was born in NYC but has a dual citizenship...I meet my wife here in the US. Yes I have also been to Dubrovnik and loved the harbor and the ships from all over the world. Keep in touch, we are looking forward to going "home" not this summer but next in 2006 for a holiday. Blues

Dobrodoslaj, my wife is Croat, from a little village called Srima, which is inbetween Sibenik and Vodice, on the Dalmatian coastline. Wonderful country, can't wait to go back...only know a few words..yeah they are the dirty ones , visited 2 years ago and next year will go again for maybe 3 weeks. Might even get to Italy or someplace for jumping! Blue Skies!!!!

Yo...there are a few of us on here that jump there. Why are you waiting till the weekend of the 17th? This weekend looking prettyt good. If you look around while your there...I might be there...Big Guy, Wings Rig,,,quite RED. Name on my profile...see ya in the sky

Redd Skelton....

OK...so who's going? I can't get to the entire Boogie, but am planning on attending for a day or say like maybe Friday and Saturday.

6'1.5"...250 lbs....or...as Amazon said it better....5'13.5"...wow...my weight is the same...imagine that, for a minute i thought i might be lighter...

Never thought of it that way....but so cool...now I can be shorter too....haaaaaahaaaaaa

Dave, if we sold it we would have to buy new stuff again....over and over...lol

Congrats....now we can get in a jump in August at the CASA Boogie!!!!!! wooohoooo....

Thats just sssssssiiiiicccckkkkkk all that red and black stuff flying outta the sky...

Take the route that is free of pot holes, expensive gas, and lousy food. Well 2 outa 3 aint bad. But, hey, you went to school in CORNvalley whatcha expect. Lived in Albany OR for about 3 1/2 years long time ago. Still have some friends out that way. Damm, now why did the Army send me here to Albany Oregon, awww right recruiter duty, yepp.

about every 2 weeks not every week. With the weather we have had this past month it is still nice and clean and in my gear bag for the past 4 1/2 weeks with not soil, and also no AIR.

No, no camping out for us. My wife parents own an apartment complex in the city, Sunnyside to be exact. So since my inlaws are in Europe, their summer home, we are staying at their (her, only child kinda place) home for the week. Driving back and forth, yeah its a trip but hey, no hotel, place to sleep, eat, play, party etc....and the inlaws aren't there so it won't be that bad. Just the damm parking is a pain in the ass and the birds shitting on my car etc...but hey its worth it...And rumor has it that Ankie Berry and her hubby from Sunrise Rigging (Wings) may be there as well. Although I have no conformation on that. We will just have to wait and see. But yes we will be there. So we may have a spot for someone to ride out from the city.
