whats a good freefall time for a beginner?
Bones replied to skittles_of_SDC's topic in Wing Suit Flying
1) What was your pull altitude? 2) Screw the time, did you have fun? -
I may be up for a road trip between the two events. I'm definitely going to Eloy but I've yet to formally qualify for Elsinore. I'm heading down to Elsinore later this month for the qualifier weekend.

Gerber micro-LST in my pocket, Leatherman in the car.

If Ed can't help, check with Kris. As I recall she does/did jump a canopy with the "hot dogs" on the top.

Been there, done that and Tara's right. The exact thing happened to me down in Spaceland last year. I had to wrap the opposite brakeline around my hand to even them out, then steer with my rear risers. I was pretty close to the stall point and only kept it because I knew I could control it well enough to land (with a PLF). If I thought I would have to make more radical corrections, such as avoiding traffic or landing off, I would have definitely chopped it.

My guess is a Lipoma, a benign fatty tumor.

Hey Monkey, Are there any specific wingsuit plans for the weekend? I want to do some flocking but I'm also doing the POPS record.

Great show, I'm looking forward to this Thursday. Gabrielle Anwar was also in "Things to do in Denver when you're dead". I rented it again last night.

How about a basejumper.com vs dropzone.com rumble?
Bones replied to freeflymickey's topic in The Bonfire
Have you tried the caffeine-free Mountain Dew? It's just as tasty as the original. -
As I understand it, the recent version of "The Italian Job" was essentially one big product placement/ad campaign for Mini's. Very effective in that regard.

weight bags for packing parachute
Bones replied to djta0707's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I've seen a few DZ's that use bowling balls. Just drop one in the main packing tray, tie off the risers as mentioned above and you're on your way. -

Will manifest be open at that time to get tickets?

Occasionally they'll throw in a prosthetic testicle. Back in the day they used sterile ping-pong balls. Seriously.

Michael- Feel free to PM me for any additional questions, but seeing as how testicular cancer is a young man's disease I'll throw out some basic info here. While I have no personal experience with testicular cancer, as an Internal Medicine physician I have had a couple of patients with the condition, one early, one late. First of all, ignore pretty much everything Woady said. It's mostly incorrect and will only serve to freak you out. Most of the time when a guy has a concern regarding a mass "down there", it's usually a tender, squishy area below the testicle (epididymitis) or a firm, occasionally tender pea-sized nodule above the testicle (spermatocele or varicocele). These are benign and/or easily treated. If you find a non-tender mass that's directly attached to the testicle, it's time for the ultrasound. Since you mention you've already had this and apparently have the presumptive diagnosis of testicular cancer, I assume they found the classic findings, a solid mass (as opposed to a cyst) that has blood flow. If you have this, do not pass Go, do not collect $200, it's time to see the Urologist. At your Urology appointment next week you'll get a lot more info, a lot more blood tests and you'll be set up with a CT or MRI scan, basically from the neck to the nuts, looking for any evidence of spread. It's highly unlikely they'll need to any lymph node biopsies (as alluded to by Woady above) unless there's CT/MRI evidence of spread (metastasis). Fortunately, if there is evidence of spread, it's highly treatable. (Think Lance Armstrong-although I'm not sure hooking up with Sheryl Crow and winning the Tour de France are common side effects of the chemotherapy). Randy
