    bye bye

    There MUST be a way to change all of your settings. E-mail the HEAD HONCHO and ask him if he can help you out! We can't be losing people in here just because of someone like that. Yeah.....i like this idea. I have some stuff I would like to email, but I think it would disgust prison inmates

  5. GREG...where did you see that vid at??? Wondering if there is an FTP of it or something. Thanks man! NEW AND IMPROVED!!! http://home.woh.rr.com/brandonandlaura/
  6. Congrats SLOWFALLER...I am going to be doing AFF this summer with my wife and we'll probably get our A towards the biginning of next summer. I cannot wait either! We are going to go to Cancun in August 2002 and would love to be able to jump that DZ there. I hear it is awesome!! Blue ones and stay safe
  7. what a bummer My wife and I just ordered like 300 checks with mountains on it. oh well....I guess she's going to have to go shopping more...uh....wait. NEW AND IMPROVED!!! http://home.woh.rr.com/brandonandlaura/
  8. Here is what they do at my DZ. We start directly into AFF (which my wife and I will do in June), but instead of all lecture about canopy control, we are fortunate enough to have ParaSIM VR to practice with. Obviously it isn't the same as being under canopy, but it is very accurate in rate of descent, wind direction/speed being a factor, even different size canopies, and mals. I have had one tandem jump where the instructor didn't really let me do much except for one flare at about 3000' and then a left and right turn at about 2000'. Anyway, I think that this VR is going to be a HUGE help. My wife and I both got to use it this past week and though that it would be tons of help. The airport on the sim is almost identical to the DZ airport. Here is a webpage that has more info on the Parasim: http://www.systemstech.com/paramain.htm Our DZ is Aerodrome Sky Sports in Richmond, IN and I believe that Cleveland has the only other Parasim at cilivian DZs in the US.

  9. thanks a lot....i'll be sure to check around for this stuff. I like that website for Skykat. Very well organized and looks like they have a lot of stuff. Anyway, thanks a lot! NEW AND IMPROVED!!! http://home.woh.rr.com/brandonandlaura/
  10. I am wondering what you all would suggest would be the best set-up for someone looking to just do film of jumps for personal use. Also, if the equip was useful for practicing for filming tandems in the future. Any help would be useful! NEW AND IMPROVED!!! http://home.woh.rr.com/brandonandlaura/
  11. Hey all! I am wondering where everyone has found the best place (price and quality) to get used gear at. I am talking things like complete rigs for newbies and such. Everyone can just post on here where they would recommend looking for used gear. Thanks!! Blue skies NEW AND IMPROVED!!! http://home.woh.rr.com/brandonandlaura/
  12. hey dirt.....does topping that have to be legal?
  13. Hey Yooper.....I don't think I'll be jumping this year. By then, I'll probably only have about 8 or 9 jumps by then. Hehe....probably though in the coming years, I'll be doing that. My wife also wants to jump the River when we get good enough. Until then, that would be sweet to just watch. Hang out with some .comers. Let me know if you would want a place to stay cuz I saw where you live (BFE
  14. I found it. October 20, 2001. That is cool, I'll be in Mexico during some summer (before AFF in June/July/etc
  15. zennie.....we'll be expecting some still and maybe a copy on your website
  16. Hey guys...me again. I don't know much about that jump, but the guy that I know who is going to jump it has only 49 jumps last time I heard (last weekend). I don't feel that is enough, but hey, who am I to say?? Anyway, is there a website devoted to this or one with more info?? If I'm not in Mexico, I might be interested in catching a ride with you and letting you stay at my place for a night if you wanted (there and back). I live in Lima, OH (my house is about 2 miles from I-75 exit 125 and 127). Let me know! I would love to go and watch!!! Blue ones NEW AND IMPROVED!!! http://home.woh.rr.com/brandonandlaura/
  17. Hey Josh.....are you talking about Bridge Day in WV?? Just wondering. I live about 5 hr drive from it and know some people who are going to go to it and plan on doing it myself when I get my license and some experience. blue ones NEW AND IMPROVED!!! http://home.woh.rr.com/brandonandlaura/
  18. hey wingnut.....i figured that this has been brought up before. I think that it would be cool to have some type of booth or things planned for a big boogie in US (Quincy, perhaps??) one of these years. Maybe have a dz.com big-way...and then some party or soemthing at a hotel confrence room or something. If people would be interested, I would be willing to be part of a planning committie (are you listening SANGIRO?!?). Well, I won't even been done with AFF till this Oct, but maybe next year and beyond, I would be more than willing to!!! blue skies NEW AND IMPROVED!!! http://home.woh.rr.com/brandonandlaura/
  19. Iflyme has the best damn point here!! We need to get something together for US to jump. I havn't been around a whole lone time, but is there some type of www.dz.com boogie?? and if not, maybe we should set something up??? I would love to meet all of these cool, witty, helpful, and just plain awesome people of this place. Let me know!! (email, private message, etc, etc) blue ones to all!!!

  20. Derek...I went to a DZ for my first tandem this past Oct and noticed that there were a lot of cliques. I went back a week or so ago just to hangout and watch some loads. Not one person talked to me! As for the girl, you can't trust other people about what they say about someone. Hell, maybe she digs you and those guys know it. They are jeoulous and don't want you to have her! Dude, you gotta go for it man. Remember, you're a skydiver, you can do anything!!! Good luck and blue skies!!

  21. Did I miss something?? I wasn't aware that this was a scientific FACT. I thought it was some theory that only SOME scientists believe and even some scientists do not believe it. Like I said before, I don't really care what other people think. As long as you are happy, content with your own beliefs and live life as you want. (As I am sure skydivers are doing it BEST!
  22. I think that people who do horrible things to other people don't deserve to escape their misery and get executed. I think they should spend 60 yrs in a federal "pound-me-in-the-ass" prison, getting gang raped and beat everyday of their life. I know this sounds pretty cold-hearted, but if something happened to you or someone you love, you would feel the same...especially if you don't believe in taking a life. And Zennie....this is probably the reason he quit his appeals. NEW AND IMPROVED!!! http://home.woh.rr.com/brandonandlaura/

  24. hmm......is it possble to play with yourself while playing yourself? wait...no...yeah. If I had to pick someone, it would have to be...um...uhh... NEW AND IMPROVED!!! http://home.woh.rr.com/brandonandlaura/
  25. What is this? Did you just say this?? You must be experiencing random thoughts. If I ignored science than I wouldn't be much for using many things in my life like the jump plane (physics), jet fuel (chemistry), and freefall (more physics). However, if I had wings and could fly, then I wouldn't worry too much about science. I couldn't care less who believes in God and who doesn't. I would love to see everyone from dz.com up there at that "great DZ in the sky" when I die. I think that a daily 4,000-way would be pretty sweet. But hey, I guess that there will be those doing a firey jump down below from 1000 ft w/o a rig. Oh well...it's your choice! blue skies Brandon and Laura http://home.woh.rr.com/brandonandlaura/ a work in progress
