  1. HERE! HERE! Gardner... those things are a God-send GraficO GraficO "A Mind is a terrible thing to taste."
  2. GREAT! Let me know what you think when you get it... post a review!
  3. don't know if it is or if it isn't... I have not seen the final. I should be getting my final copy Monday so I'll let you know. GraficO GraficO "A Mind is a terrible thing to taste."
  4. bump GraficO "A Mind is a terrible thing to taste."
  5. OK... the new RANTOUL 03 video has officialloy hit the deck at Para Gear and orders are being shipped! Unnofficially... Curt at Para Gear gave a thumbs up to the new video! GraficO GraficO "A Mind is a terrible thing to taste."
  6. YES... and Norman is credited on the 2003 WFFC video! If you read this Norman... thank you for your support as always! GraficO GraficO "A Mind is a terrible thing to taste."
  7. ok... if you are backed up on orders and you take RUSH orders that means the people who ordered NORMAL would get pushed back even further. Hence if you don't offer RUSH... you can push harder to build the orders you have faster out the door and you will make progress on getting your delivery times back to normal... if you don't, you'll never catch up. Kinda like credit card debt... FWIW GraficO GraficO "A Mind is a terrible thing to taste."
  8. ditto... I use the same settings GraficO GraficO "A Mind is a terrible thing to taste."
  9. Quade is correct... glossy is much better to scan than matte. Think about it this... the matte finish is a texture right? So the scan light of a flat bed scanner should be comming from one direction right? OK... there is a split second that you get shadowing in the texture as well as a highlight. Therefore you are scanning reflections and shadows as well as the actual image...distorting the image with more information than you really want. So the scanner is high enough quality... it will pick up the texture of a matte print. Go glossy or go digital and save a step. GraficO GraficO "A Mind is a terrible thing to taste."
  10. Maybe... how picky are you? Granted, I would let anyone borrow something I wouldn't jump myself... GraficO GraficO "A Mind is a terrible thing to taste."
  11. Lew... I have a new option for you if you are interested. Batwing 116... less than 200 jumps on a new reline...$300 GraficO GraficO "A Mind is a terrible thing to taste."
  12. I was in college as well and didn't have a lot of extra money to throw around. I took the S/L class $150... and then basically I started packing student gear almost immediately. At about 25 jumps I started jumpmastering other static-liners (yes...I know...I know) and that's how I funded my startup as a skydiver. When I finally got my first rig ($750... 1982 Classiflyer with a round reserve, Strato Cloud and no AAD) I was jumping a military (stolen) green flight suit and barely had an altimeter (Alti V) and a pair of goggles. I eventually got a new main (a Pursuit 230 that was used in Point Break literally... I still have it
  13. the way VSE is going... there are going to be A LOT of new Infinity's out there this year. VSE is picking up speed... people are waking up to the beauty/functionality of Infinity and not having to wait forever for one and be broke at the same time. GraficO GraficO "A Mind is a terrible thing to taste."
  14. I didn't want to just "send" it out there without Andi saying it was OK Lew's a Stiletto girl... fast enought to spook ya occasionally... and when it's gets twisted... LOOK OUT! MAR... it would match your gear... I'll bet Andi would make you a really good deal on it!
  15. As a fellow "just off the injured" list.... When you "do" something... and the doc tells you 9 months before you can jump again... he generally means it. When you get "healed" and you feel like you "could" jump... wait 2 more weeks. There is no sense in screwing up whatever you screwed up in the first place again. GraficO PS... jeeeze I feel lighter now... must have been the plate and the 9 screws they took out of me! Photos attached.... also a photo of the heel 1 year later ( 1 year Anniversary next weekend) GraficO "A Mind is a terrible thing to taste."
  16. The one I have now is WHite body with royal wings... if it's possible fabric wise... my next one will be "Deug" style... neon orange wings with white body or royal blue body with neon yellow wings... Just a thought GraficO GraficO "A Mind is a terrible thing to taste."
  17. Lew...Lew...Lew... I told ya I had a Sabre 120 with 75 jumps on it (It's blue(s) with hot pink...perfect fit for a Pink Mafia Girl). Actual owner is BikerBabe here on dz.com... but it's here in my super secret gear stash. Barely has the "new" knocked off of it. All I have to do is get approval from BikerBabe and it could be yours to borrow....
  18. After all the crap is over and done with... you look pretty good for a gent with so many miles! Congrats man! GraficO GraficO "A Mind is a terrible thing to taste."
  19. talk to Neil at Endangered Species... I had some printed for VSE there and they came out sweet... good prices as well contact him at [email protected] GraficO GraficO "A Mind is a terrible thing to taste."
  20. had one for about 6 years and was pretty bullet-proof... er... at least until it left to join its other suicidal gear parts on a skysurf above Perris. It's now somewhere in the badlands west of the DZ... Grab a Galaxy or a FT-50 enhanced and ya can't go wrong... just a few dollars difference. GraficO GraficO "A Mind is a terrible thing to taste."
  21. HEH... you got me there Kelly! You have packed them a few times. Not as much in 03 as 02... we'll see in 04! Thank you BTW
  22. wow...that a pretty sharp helmet missy! Never seen one that was fully painted before. I'd buy it.... GraficO GraficO "A Mind is a terrible thing to taste."
  23. OK... I'll bite... All of you who believe your rig is the best looking one... well... they are all the best looking rigs around... they all say INFINITY on em So... here are my two babies... and yes one of them is the rig in the ad... Wait until you see Kelly's new rig! I will post photos soon BTW... just out of curiosity... what do you all think of the VSE and Infinity logos? I might know the bloke who drew em!

  24. finding one isn't necessarily the problem here guys... I'm just looking for info about how it might fly... got burned on a TRV 9... wasn't worth a crap in the air... went screwy when changing body positions radically (freefly). Just don't want to make that mistake again. GraficO GraficO "A Mind is a terrible thing to taste."
