  1. Do they still make that cereal smacks or snaps? I forget. It had a frog on the box. Liked it when I was a kid.
  2. You could buy one of those sorters, but with all that change you may overload it. How many years of saving?
  3. What a poll Cory. I guess your about as bored as I am. I don't really like special K that much but theres just somthing about Special K with Red Berries.... I'm to lazy to put fresh fruit on my cereal. "Geez, I already put milk on the stuff allright?"
  4. Best of luck Bro! Note: In your profile where you've indicated that your a photographer. This means freefall photographer which I am thinking your not. It's a Common misunderstanding. Tell us about the first jump if you get it set up.
  5. I've jumped with them in the past and didn't think much of them. I personally know of an individual who had it misfire while under canopy. But no I don't have the experience with them you do. Yes they are FXC 's not FPS's so I'll apologize for my ill humor to whoever it may offend.
  6. Since it was offered and now he's renigging I say screw him! Tell him to to come over to your place and pick up the ploody money himself if he wants to.
  7. Repost police out in full. I was on here yesterday and I missed it too. Now if I only post pictures I have taken or made myself then I can't be accused of reposting....
  8. Excited? Is this a return or your grand entrance?
  9. Over 5,000 and less than 10,000 . Probably closer to 10,000 but I don't like to think about it. My first year so that includes PFF (like AFF) gear rentals till I bought my own gear (that was a big chunk), a brand new cypres 2 (almost as much as the rig) and a total of 49 jumps . It should be a lot less this year. (thankfully)
  10. Are you talking about the FPS 1200 ? Q: what does FPS stand for ? A: Glad you asked. It stands for Fucking Piece of Shit.
  11. Why don't you get a custom rainbow rig . that would be pretty .... (fill in the blank)
  12. His user name was uyopilot on ebay. Real name was Frank Bell. I don't recall which state he lived in. there is a uyopilot registered here but it says they have never logged on. I had actually left feedback prior to recieving the item (stupid) and then he never left any for me. I don't use ebay very often so I don't care about the feedback so much.
  13. Last summer I purchased a used skytronic audible altimeter from ebay. I even payed the seller an extra $10 to have it packed properly to insure no damage. Well his idea of secure shipping was to pack it loosely in a small box with a bit of crumpled newspaper (not even packed tightly). When I recieved the parcel I could hear somthing rattling around the bottom of the box. great. I then found that the device was not functioning properly. The seller didn't say anything about the shipping but said the unit was fine when he had it so I must have broken it. After arguing with the brick wall of a seller on the subject I contacted parasport italia who manufactured the item to see if they had any suggestions. They suggested I ship it to them so they could take a look at it. I shipped it in late December and just recieved it back last week. They ended up repairing it for free. The unit appears to be functioning properly on the ground (which is more than I can say for it before). I won't be able to actually test it till the spring but I have faith it will work. Thanks to parasport for repairing my second hand skytronic with no hassle and turning a shitty situation around. Now I'm
  14. kinda stupid. but kinda funny.

  16. If someone PM's you it would be nice if a pop up came up stating either new message or the message itself. the user could either enable or disable this option. If someone says " yeah, are you gonna write the code for that?" I have to say I am NOT a computer programmer and have no Idea how easy or difficult this would be.
  17. They may argue that you were in a wingsuit, and therefore were already addicted prior to arriving at the DZ. No further questions your honour, this witness is of no use to me.
  18. I think that may be the bottom line. You want to say wing loading is not a factor but in the situation that she was under a larger canopy and did everything the same, she would be more likely not to be hurt as badly or maybe at all. Doesn't that justify wing loading to be a factor?
  19. holy shit! that lady crapped out a fire hydrant!
  20. Well I'm bored, and the day has just begun. Anyone else in these shoes? if you're doing something exciting and care to share, feel free so I can be envious.
  21. I'm really starting to get a real itch to jump, haven't jumped since mid October due to weather and funds. Looking to start up again in April. Anyone have some interesting jumps recently?
  22. congratulations to a job well done. I say, good show! I think I had 37 when I got my A. I wonder what the average is?
  23. I don't know about you guys, but boy do I get a rush off of watching such adrenaline filled sports like bowling, poker or billiards. Who needs skydiving when you have action packed sports likew that.
