  1. I do the throw salt over your shoulder thing too and all my friends will tell you I NEVER share my popcorn. I have to drive and if I'm not - use my feet anyway in the passenger seat! I'm almost 'Sleeping with the Enemy' neurotic in that I like all of my towels hanging at the same level in the bathroom and the labels of cans facing the same way in the pantry - So there's some fur ya!! Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  2. OK that so scared the S*^$$ out of me!! Some of the other clips were wild too! hehehehehehe Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  3. May has well make that three............ Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  4. My heart aches for you. I'm so sorry. I lost my best friend last summer - it gets easier but you never forget. Hang in there! Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  5. Only ever really had 3 - the first was SPARKY (use your imagination and NO I don't play with fire.....) - the second was Doobie Head (and not for the reasons you're thinking) and last - BRIGHT EYES because I'm generally always smiling and when I do - there's a twinkle in my eyes!!

    80s music

    Honestly, I couldn't agree more!! I was downloading some music for tandem video sake and came across a butt ton of 80's stuff - burned an awesome CD. Great time to grow up - be alive - experience all it had to offer. Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  7. I am laughing my ASS off!!!! hehehehehehehehehe Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  8. I have never had a problem with go arounds at any DZ I've visited - what I've seen more often are those who get out not knowing it's a bad/long spot. You need to understand how to spot in order to know when to ask for a go around. Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  9. I know he'll be happy - and the people he crosses paths with will absolutely love him. How couldn't you? Thanks for the many fun memories Rob - including the ride in the SkyVan buzzing the swoop pond on opening weekend at CK. I have a feeling you'll be seeing many of your DZ friends in the islands! Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  10. Darwin Award winner for sure! Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  11. Believe me (from experience) you won't know it (if you're lukcy) and it's all good....... Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  12. Hi! I too have done a lot of freestyle and found the same thing - the wings actually put more pressure on your arms and upper body. I had a suit made (Bev Suits) with winglets - provides good stability and is much easier on your arms. The only thing I can say is that you get used to it Working out regularly (which you do), taking vitamins and ibuprofen for the aftermath is good. Also - stay hydrated. Keep it up - that's awesome about the freestyle!! Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  13. I also sometimes jump at CK - looking forward to meeting you!! Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  14. Definitely flat pack - tandem roll the nose and it'll be all good!! Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  15. Welcome to the forums and the amazing world of skydiving. Take in as much information as you can from your instructors - have fun!! We're all 'newbies' on some level - you learn something new each and every time you skydive!! Dare to dream and then make it happen!
