    Shoes

    That is the coolest thing I've seen today! It is soooo hard to find shoes in my skydiving colors - yellow and orange. Hope they're comfy. This site could solve my challenge - and KAI's. Thanks. Does anyone know of other sites similar to this? Like custom gloves, other shoes, etc...... >->o . o
  2. Hmmmm. You could be right...Or maybe it's all chocolate. Could the grand high (13K) pixie let us know... >->o . o
  3. Hey Guys, Gals and Badgers: As we get closer to the big event, tuck this away in your helmet: Bring pixie food. Betsy's gonna be really busy taking care of all of us and will need it --- pixies eat too. This pixie loves chocolate (dark?), home-baked chocolate chip cookies, and espresso. (How sophisticated.) Prior to hangin' around with B^2, I used to think that pixies ate mushrooms and dew drops. Who knew?
  4. It hip-mo-tized me. Anyone up for a scary-way? >->o . o
  5. That was F-ing funny. Who knew that our president left a promising modeling career in order to take us to Iraq?
  6. My job is challenging, but it doesn't wear on me - I designed it myself. But something you said is SOOOOOO true : I think THAT is something most of us experience - a lot. We should call it SNAPS (Skydivers Not in A Plane Syndrome). Now it has a name. >->o . o
  7. Very unfortunate, sad. What I don't understand, is why some people don't think through the outcomes of their actions. This could have been a perfect crime if they had thought it through (and been a lot more clever). Why couldn't they have used a boat? Wouldn't that have been less conspicuous? But more importantly, many ordinary people need to step back and determine if they are in a disfunctional relationship, and if so, figure out why. There are many other less extreme methods of resolving personal issues without resorting to criminal activity. Does this mean that loved ones who don't like the idea of us skydiving will soon start trying to off us so we won't bounce? (Yes, severely botched logic.) >->o . o
  8. The picture you posted, canopy-gh.jpg, is SPECTACULAR. (Sorry for yelling.) I hope nobody bumped into each other. Looking forward to the DVD. Maybe this will be my excuse for finally coming out of my cave and buying a DVD player. Does not having one make me an Amish skydiver?
  9. Any photos to share with us? ...And BB: What vendors have arranged to be at the boogie so far? (plug) >->o . o
  10. High: I did my 300th jump today with some really cool pals. Low: I got caught up in a high wind situation, couldn't make it to the landing area, and had to land out...but what a bitchin' skydive. >->o . o
  11. You mean like bright yellow sequins? That would make a statement. If coaxed, I might be able to pull it off. All in favor, say "jump."
  12. LOL. I guess I'll have to give her a call. >->o . o
  13. What I want to know is: When you look right at one of those little guys, it stops. How does it know when you're looking at it? And why are the rest of them so happily twirling when you're not paying attention to them? And do they know how to twirl in the opposite direction?
  14. BTW: Who's f***ing Mrs.Radloff? There's more than one way to read that f***d up question. Which one is OK? >->o . o
  15. While ZP does have one of those most excellent aromas that you would want to sleep with, I think the best ones are jet fuel and new tires. Has anyone walked into a tire store and just paused to savor the smell of new rubber? OK, I'm a little off. Oh well.
  16. I was on a flight from Phoenix to Las Vegas quite a while ago when.... A guy went into the mid-cabin lav. Two minutes later, a good looking woman went into the same lav. Then about a minute after that, another guy went in. Looking at the disbelief on the passengers' faces around me, I wondered what was happening. About 10-15 minutes later, they all came out of the lav .... to the cheering, whistling and applause from all the passengers in the aft of the plane who were watching. Now that's onboard entertainment!
  17. Betsy is one of the most gracefully flying pixies I know. And Greg is one hell-of-a photographer. The two of you make beauty in motion. Great job! Bryce
  18. I'm glad that USPA requires night jumps in order to get a D license...otherwise I probably would not have done it. I did 2 night jumps last weekend. Nervous at first, but as soon as I found myself resembling a Christmas ornament, hanging in the sky, I felt at one with the nature around me. It was a somewhat spiritual experiance. It definately taught me more about myself. From where I was freefalling, I could see Phoenix and Tucson. What a remarkable experience. Before I did the jumps, I though "how stupid that the USPA requires this." But afterwards, I am glad that this is a requirement. I hope it remains. It helps in learning how to deal with limited sensory input, but the side effect is pure enjoyment. Bravo USPA. And Bravo to everyone who has done it. I love this sport.
