  1. Relax, relax, relax, no big deal..I did 45 minutes in one day last year at Orlando. Althought a little sore the next day, it in no way effected my jumping at SoBe's. The best advise I was given before heading south was to really stretch any and all muscle groups we normally use when jumping. Just be careful not to pull anything or your trip and plans may be for not. Blue skies Party like it's $19.99
  2. The morning news two days ago featured a report of a fatality in AZ, any info? Said the jumper was 40 year vet and may have had med issues. Blue skies. Party like it's $19.99

  4. Hey all, How often if ever do you really inspect your gear? Having just bought my first rig I looked at each seam, each line, item by item looking for problems.Luckly found none as did my rigger. But I notice everyones just packing for the next jump without really looking at things. Any thoughts/ observations? Blue skies. Party like it's $19.99

  7. Just got my 1st rig, used, albeit, but barely. J3, Saber 170, PD 160, cypres. with 40 jumps. All mfg'd 09/99. Cypres needs 4 yr and reserve repack and harness adj. All's sent out for fixes. Container/ main match red/black. Yea for me and all for 2750.00. Leaves much dinero for beer. Blue skies. Party like it's $19.99
  8. What's up? I jumped there this past Sunday. Didn't sense any problems. It was packed ha! ha! and the view is incrediable. Party like it's $19.99
  9. Hey dude, I'm a low number jumper and just finished OSV7 on 20 March. What a blast..the camp was scheduled for 30 min, but got caught up in the moment and did an extra 15 min. TIME well spent, a little sore in the sholders but, like it all, no pain no gain. If your planning on Jan 05, save for an hours time. You won't be disappointed. Blue skies. Party like it's $19.99
  10. Enjoy!!! It's been 5 months since last jump and only 11 total but back in the air next weekend myself. Tunnel camp @ Skyventure on Sat. SO BE's on Sunday. May the force be with us. Blue skies. Party like it's $19.99

  13. Got 11 jumps in but haven't jumped since Oct 03 and am dying to get back up. Went to Piegon Forge in Dec and found it not very useful and completly unlike real air, got a camp in Orlando booked for march to refersh myself before taking to the air. Question is. what's the comparison if any to TN. Who's been to both. Any insight would be great. Blue skies, Michael Party like it's $19.99
  14. Looking to make a creeper, any imputs as to which casters would be best used, deminisions etc.....BLUE SKIES and winter sucks.. Party like it's $19.99
  15. Any information on this retailer, good/bad/indifferent. Also, anyone got a phone number for these guys. Thanks and blue skies. Party like it's $19.99
  16. I'd just say pace yourself. sensory overload hangs around for a long time, as I can sense. I feel compelled to tell my co-workes how my last jump went, even though I know they aren't interested. 10 jumps and I'm as addicted as one can be. Just received my Preyor Pin "Bomber" today. Be smart, listen, read, listen, ask question, jump more than once per jump day if you can. Have fun and arch, arch, arch. Party like it's $19.99
  17. Was told that Javiln has a knock-off container looking backpack. Anyone know the real deal. Got no details and my daughter wants one. Thanks.. Blue Skies to all!! Party like it's $19.99
  18. I've read some posts and reports about jumpers flying into fixed objects and other jumpers, anyone ever hit a bird in freefall. Just a thought. Blue skies!! Party like it's $19.99
  19. Hey all, did my first coach jump yesterday, yea!! Also had my first inconvience, an up slider and mild line twist. Kicked out real fast, no worries. Great landing. Thought is, was "happy" to have had something happen that I'd not experienced yet and able to work through so smoothly. Rehearsed mentally the what-if's over and over, it paid off. Was sorta looking forward to my first problem, any similar thoughts? Blue skies to all. Party like it's $19.99

  21. I so feel your pain, brother. I've got it too, seems science would try to create a drug to quell the CONSTANT, PAINFUL yearning and endless hours of sleeplesness wishing to be flying BUT hey what a fuckn waste of money. Just buy another ride. Peace and hopefully this excitement I feel constantly will last forever. The force IS with me. Blue skies. Michael Party like it's $19.99
  22. Connie if you see this, post a reply. We talked awhile Saturday, like to chat some more. I know we will see each other soon but can't wait. Michael Party like it's $19.99
  23. YUP, thanks a million. Blue skies. Party like it's $19.99
  24. Saw the other day a post about a dictionary of terms here on DZ.com. Found the link but didn't bookmark it. Anyone that can assist would be helpful, since I can't seem to find it now. Thanks Michael. Just did my D-1 and D-2 this weekend. Absolutely beautiful 360's nose to nose. Live to jump, jump to live. Party like it's $19.99
  25. Just completed Cat C and D-1 Today, 6th total. Still having a tough time on exit with some swimming, 2 to 3 sec. then settle out real quick, good form, good awareness, nice canopy control and some real close landings and all but that first step still gets to me. Any advise might prove useful. Blue skies and de Vinci was OH so right. Mike Party like it's $19.99
