  1. Wow! That was mean, but damn funny. Take risks not to escape life, but to prevent life from escaping ~ Author Unknown (but I wish I knew) YouveGottaTryThis.com
  2. I like them. What songs do you recommend. I got "Home for a rest" from itunes to start me off. Take risks not to escape life, but to prevent life from escaping ~ Author Unknown (but I wish I knew) YouveGottaTryThis.com
  3. I heard on CNBC (since I'm a broke, wall street dork) that Google is going to do a 50/50 split of advertising revenue on you tube on the page where your video is posted. I know that skydiving / extreme sports video's are crazy popular on there. I am not a camera jumper (yet) but those of you who are might be able to earn a free jump or two on Google. I don't know if this is out there yet, but it's coming... Take risks not to escape life, but to prevent life from escaping ~ Author Unknown (but I wish I knew) YouveGottaTryThis.com
  4. If you want to change it up big time, check out Dropkick murphys, and flogging molly. Sort of a hard rock irish folk music. They have been around awhile but got popular since they did a bunch of songs for Departed. I'm a recent bandwagon hopper...

  5. I have a projection screen. The better ones have a great pic for near 180 (probably 140 or so), but with plasma and lcd so cheap now, go for an on the wall model. That's my uneducated 2cents...

  9. Heck yeah! Take risks not to escape life, but to prevent life from escaping ~ Author Unknown (but I wish I knew) YouveGottaTryThis.com
  10. I'm with ya. When I came off student I was discouraged bc I didn't learn much jumping on my own. I think a lot has to do with the DZ and people's willingness to let you jump in on some RW with them. And people who are willing to let it slide when you go low on the formation a few dozen times.

  14. Wow good luck in the canyon and on your license. I'm really looking forward to getting my pilot's license. Just too many expensive hobbies! Take risks not to escape life, but to prevent life from escaping ~ Author Unknown (but I wish I knew) YouveGottaTryThis.com
  15. I'm no expert, but you mention "could get expensive", my experience is that most of the time jumpers and pilots can locate the canopy after a chop. But cutaways are not all that common. It is much more common on higher performance canopies so many of us with big slow canopies haven't cut. But, like many have said... I wouldn't hesitate for even a second, the last thing on your mind would be the $$.
