Hey if you guys are going to be digging up dirt on Ward...share the info. I have to put up with he and his ego every single weekend of my life. Do tell...[/hijack] The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

No kidding. We get static line students that'll give up a kidney for an 8x10 of their first jump to show all their friends! The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

Hey us young guys are limber!! You know I'm messin with ya. Didn't see ya at Rantoul...sad. Done hijacking now. The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

:: Well I guess I did have one first this weekend. The first weekend in 14 weekends I didn't get to jump. Was moving back to college all weekend...blah. The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

Yeah. I'd imagine it's pretty tough shit too. The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

I was probably taking pictures of you getting wet trying to swoop the pond. Yeah people kept askin me all week if I got to meet you...you seem to be well liked. We'll catch each other down the road fo sho. The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

Yes...hurry up and get better!! I'm waiting!!

I crossposted this in the Photography Forum...Giddyup!!! Anyone else's DZ have a camera mounted on the strut of their Cessna? We were tinkering around the other day...our kickass Cessna pilot Matt Cashore rigged up a way to put his camera all the way out on the strut. I'm not sure how he did it, but he has a little trigger on the steering wheel (sorry...I don't know plane terms) of the plane. All he does is hit the switch right as we exit, and we come away with some amazing shots. But don't get me wrong...I'd still rather jump a turbine. Check it out: The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

Dos Mas The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

I have them. Here a few decent shots I got from Rantoul. I kept forgetting to take my camera with me to places...which is sad. And no...I'm not trying to lick Rosa in the first pic!! It's just the angle damnit!! Anyway, that's VanillaSkyGirl, MissImperfect, Girlfalldown, and BBarnhouse in that pic. The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

Great job man! How many people in the world can say they're a licensed skydiver?? Not many...but you can. Rock on. The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

I've done it. The first time I tried it (~50 jumps) I couldn't do it. It's actually quite difficult. I tried it again around like 80ish jumps and got it. Climb out on the strut, then bring your knees up to your chest, and quickly swing your ass into the same place your knees were just at, then hook your toes onto the wing and hang. Be careful though. If you have a big step on your Cessna, you could easily hit your head on exit if you're not paying attention. It's fun stuff. If you get it...hang there and enjoy it for a second, 'cause it's hard to get there. Also...you might wanna wait till you have your A to try this stuff so you don't piss off your DZO or whatever.

I'll tell you what I liked about the PAC: The windows. It was real easy to see outside from any seat...whereas some planes (Mullin's King Air...although he makes up for this problem in other areas. ), you can't see a damn thing until you're in the door. The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

Sue, I will tell you that I would not be a skydiver today if I hadn't gone to the wind tunnel as a student. I was struggling big time and ready to give up at any moment. The wind tunnel gave me confidence, and most importantly, made me RELAXED during a skydive. Since the day that I came out of that wind tunnel, I never had any major issues as a student in the air. It became my home. Go to the tunnel (a real one if possible). The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

That's pretty cool dude...seriously. Not that I know what I'm talking about, but; it seems to me, that luck only plays so much of a part in making it to 1,400 with no malfunctions, and after a while, you just have to say...that dude is one safe jumper. Rock on man. The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

You just became my new favorite person. The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

Those guys doing a three-way from 2,800 out of the PAC was pretty dumb. One of the three was still sniveling around 500 feet or so. Scary shit to see, especially when he's sniveling directly above you, and you're not sure if it's going to inflate or not. The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

No kidding! I mean...it's supposed to be the busiest skydiving airspace in the world, and all they had were two dinky little windsocks that you can't see until 500 feet. My little Cessna DZ has more than that. I'm a fan of the tetrahedron idea...like that huge one Richmond has you can easily see from 13,500'. The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

Kris that was one awesome post. It was cool as hell getting to meet you at Rantoul. Hopefully next time we see each other, I'll be able to join you in the sky with a Birdman Suit. The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

I was told Toilet Paper may prove to be the best thing I remember to bring (aside from rig/logbook/etc). The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for scaring the shit out of me, Eric. Sometimes I need that... The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

Are you guys serious? Like...going to Nationals serious? Let me lurk you at Rantoul. I gotta see this! The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

Ricky's one messed up dude. I hope he doesn't kill himself or anything on his little "life journey". Never liked him as a player, so I have no words of kindness. The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

Zilch:9:2 Jumped w/o a shirt for the first time, just wanted to see what that felt like. Jumped out w/ a tandem for the first time...a good friend of my good friend. It was fun seein how excited he was in freefall. Giddyup The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!
