  1. I had a Boeri dealership, but never put it into effect at Gravity Gear. A few factors: Not low profile enough for our wind direction. Caused tugging under the chin. Could possible loose it in FF. Pretty warm in the summer. No general interest. They do offer great head protection. I know several jumpers at Skydive Lake Tahoe that wear them. Not the best but if you got one, sport it! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  2. Homeowners Insurance or Renters Insurance. Make sure you have it written into the policy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  3. Thanks Ryan. Until I read your reply, I thought it was a soft reserve handle. Then I went back and looked at the pic. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  4. I like my split bag. Took me about 20 jumps to get used to it, but now I LOVE it. It is easier to pack. I only run the first rubber band through two grommets and the lines are perfectly semetrical. How are you stowing your first stow? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  5. Jason, Why didn't you use your toggles? You have most control with your toggles. I'm glad you were on the 210 and not the 190 yet. PM, we need to talk Hey Jason! Your mom's calling you! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  6. 8 reserve rides. Never lost a Freebag or Main (Thanks to some very good friends) Hucked a few handles ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  7. QuoteIngredients: (1) Xbox. (1) Halo game. (1) Brother in law. (Several parts) Booze. Okay wait. I just got mine an XBox for Xmas. What is a Halo game? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  8. With a face like that and this post, expect a line to be forming at your door shortly. Women everywhere are thinking, "Ah. That poor boy. I must go cook him a decent meal." Oh wait. These are skydiving chicks. Sorry dude. You're shit out of luck. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  9. You can make a delicious Barley Soup. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  10. Does Portland mean you would be flying for Horizon or Alaska Air? Pick that. You can commute easily from anywhere in Cali. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  11. Well, I hope two out of three ain't bad! I hate to vacuum.... .....I the livingroom, I mean! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  12. Well. There were two AFFs with video on that load. Tom shot mine, so I know he has vid. I think the other vid was Higgy and his camera died. I could be wrong about that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  13. around ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  14. Are you suggesting I try a new landing pattern? I think Moto got pond scum in the general landing area. Then he tried to microwave his wet shoes and socks! Eeeeewww. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  15. Vibes are non-denominational prayers. Although I find it hard to really type out a "vibe". I personally need a dark room with candlelight. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  16. Greg Hunter used to manufacture these helmets. He had a fatal tamdem accident. I think he worked alone. There may be some helmets that folks still have in stock. RIP Greg. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  17. I honestly don't think the low profile skydiving helmets are all about style. It is important for a skydiving helmet to be low profile and aerodynamic. It is more comfortable and you have less chance of it catching air and flying off or digging into your chin. Also, when I wear a protec, the padding is so thick and my head is so small that it limits my peripheral vision. No lie. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  18. I want names! And I want to see the scars! Seriously though. Really? Were they natural or store bought? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  19. Eloy. Guaranteed good weather. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  20. Sitting in my office 10 minutes from the Drop Zone. Let me look........ .......Sunny... ..Cloudy........... .........sunny again....... Totally jumpable/ish ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  21. And: WELCOME BACK -- November 98 Bravo!!!!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  22. Hey! I lived in North Beach for 4 years. Where did you live? I used to bartend at the Grant and Green. Used to hang at the North End.... PM me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  23. A lot of times on shorter harnesses if the chest strap is low enough to go under your "curves", there is no room left for your handls. Especially if the harness is articulated. Sun path has a mini sized d-ring to accomodate this, but even so, sometimes there just isn't enough room. My G4 goes right across mine too. The only time I had a rig that gave me the wonder bra effect was when the entire container was big, and the harness was too long. Looked good on the ground and in the plane, but sucked under canopy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  24. Does that mean you wouldn't have bought a Spectre or Sabre2 until it was on the market for two years? Just curious. I usually am VERY conservative before I bring new products into my store. With the Aerodyne Line, I have made an exception for my normal "wait period". I believe in the company and the folks I know in the industry that are backing the line. Aerodyne has taken unpresidented steps in their manufacturing and corporate processes. After inspecting the craftsmanship up close and flying the gear my confidence in their products is quite high. So there you have it. My opinion. Worth what you paid for it! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  25. Yup. I remember it well. Willy from Buckeye. Wore cowboy boots. Released him. Moved to the front and he panicked and grabbed me by the upper arms. The lights were on and nobody was home. I had to backflip off of the dude. put my feet on his chest and kicked off. After that he did the gun slinger move and pulled faster than the eye could see. Thank gawd, 'cause I didn't want to go back in there to pull him out. After that I wouldn't jump with him anymore. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
