Hahahaha! Cinco de Mayo messed up some Gatorz customers that's for sure. They also discontinued the red lenses on the converters, and of course I had a customer loose his when he got strung up instead of the pinata. Long story. In the mean time, I'll check stock for you. You can call the store to remind me at 888-298-8886. (Bonnie) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

I've got two turn tables and a micro-phone.... where it's at! Well. I visualize the micro-phone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Hey Brian! Don't you owe beer or something? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Hey Toastie! Welcome to the forums and welcome to Skydive San Diego! Not sure who you are in real life. Your screen name offers me no clue! But come into the gear store and say, "Hi." Make sure you come this weekend. Our Cinco de Mayo Skydiving Celebration is going to be off the hook! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

.... and her sweet backrubs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Pretty sure they went in feet first, but he has always been my hero.... ....kept me going through tough times and never let me second guess myslf. His words still work for me to this very day. RIP love, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Okay. This thread has just inspired me. I'm gonna organize a hybrid. I'll collect as many jumpers as I can find with gawd aweful tie-dye and counter balance it with a bunch of dudes in camo. Is this image funny only in my head? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

My standard joke in the gear store is: "Welcome to Skydive San Diego.... would you like that in black or camo?" But that's because a good portion of our jumpers are military and it's just cheaper that way. LOL. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

The only issue with "using" your rigger is that internet sales are growing and there is quite a volume now. So check with your particular rigger to see if this is a service they welcome. A lot of riggers simply don't have the time. And it is a big risk for nothing. A case of beer is cool and all, but nobody can pay their bills with beer. Perhaps forget about them for a little while. I used to do this for free all the time as well. Then I realized that it was taking up a good portion of my work day. The bottom line is you only have a finite amount of time in the day dedicated to work and earning a living.... Since I started charging a nominal fee, I have not had any complaints and still get a lot of thank yous. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Bwa ahahahahaha. UPS is also not a valid issuer of skydiving licenses. But you would be surprized how many bills I file in the USPA folder. Dramatic side effect of being overworked and underpaid. LOL. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Can we add a Ground Launching forum by BASE? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Here are a few tips I use when buying and selling used gear online. Thought it might be helpfull after reading some of the posts here: 1) Ask the seller/buyer where they jump. 2) Ask the seller/buyer their riggers name. 3) Ask the seller/buyer what license they hold and with what agency. (Ex: D license USPA) If they are really a skydiver, you can check up on them by shooting an e-mail to their home dz. You can verify gear condition by shooting an e-mail to their rigger. Also verifies ownership status to a certain extent. In the case of you being the seller, license can help verify if they are qualified to jump what you are selling. 4) Use a broker whenever possible. I know I offer this service at Gravity Gear as well as several others here on dz.com. 5) If the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. Check the stolen gear lists available to you. It's a small world and a small industry. Everybody knows somebody, so verify before you buy! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Love you girl..... next time around YOU teach ME how to fly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

I know who I am, but I don't know if I've ever sent you a quote.... .... but feel free to pick me anyways if you can't find what you are looking for. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Always loved, never forgotten. All your words still resinate in me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

This doesn't exactly work on an older canopy. Age must also be considered. I would say this canopy is worth about 1/2 what a new one costs. So maybe $850 or so at the most.

>> Where in the US? Everything costs more some places (like California) Gravity Gear!

Roger... ....."Boys! Quick! Hide the tequilla!!!!!!!!!!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Is it the leg strap that is puckering? can you rotate the leg strap forward a bit? When you tighten it down does the comfort pad overlap? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

I'm just saying direct communication is very effective. The "have a drink" comment came right out of left field..... ..... but hey, sometimes the best ideas come from the strangest places! BARKEEP! Oh wait. I'm jumping in impossibly blue skies until sunset..... guess I'll have to wait..... I'm on a 10 minute call. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Oh Geez Kyle! You are from SSD! Very observant of me. I have a video I wanna send too. It has a good shot of sitting in the door of the Otter overlooking the lake. I think you'll like it. b

Kyle, Send me your FPO and I'll send you the mags each months. I work at a dz with lots of Navy and Marines. I have envelopes going out monthly to them. But at least the Navy is only a 6 month tour. I mean WTF! Did they get you for a 15 month tour? I have some good guys (fair skydivers) headed your way in April. Maybe you can form a skydiver support group. LOL. Keep your head down and your spirits up. See you on a dz somewhere... sometime.... bon
