  1. A couple of posters eluded to a "buff". After Googling it I found this pretty cool item. It's not exactly cheap, but I think I am going to get one to try. "http://www.buffwear.com/pages/technical/ways-to-wear.php" Don't Pull Low... Unless You ARE!!! The pessimist says, "It can't get any worse than this." The optimist says, "Sure, it can." Be fun, have safe.
  2. One of the biggest things to look at is the roof. It gets all of the abuse (rain, hail, sun) and is the hardest to replace. Don't Pull Low... Unless You ARE!!! The pessimist says, "It can't get any worse than this." The optimist says, "Sure, it can." Be fun, have safe.
  3. I am curious if anyone has heard if there is any follow up news. Are they any closer to identifying this person? Don't Pull Low... Unless You ARE!!! The pessimist says, "It can't get any worse than this." The optimist says, "Sure, it can." Be fun, have safe.
  4. Um, correct me if I'm wrong, but if someone offers $1 MORE, then THAT is the Best Offer. Don't Pull Low... Unless You ARE!!! The pessimist says, "It can't get any worse than this." The optimist says, "Sure, it can." Be fun, have safe.
  5. I would like to add my thanks to everyone who made this event possible from the aircraft owners all the way down to the lowly jumpers like myself. I had a great time jumping with old friends and meeting and jumping with new friends. I hope everyone had as good of a time as I did and also hope to see you in the sky soon. Don't Pull Low...

  6. As many places as is needed to alert as many people as possible that this could even happen. Don't Pull Low... Unless You ARE!!! The pessimist says, "It can't get any worse than this." The optimist says, "Sure, it can." Be fun, have safe.
  7. This is NOT funny. I truly believe that WHEN this asshole is caught that they should be banned from every DZ in the world. I also feel that their USPA membership should be taken away for life. It's one thing to boycott, and something completely different to even think about threatening the safety of everyone that could be on that plane. Bad juju on this person. Don't Pull Low...

  8. Except their canopy flying skills. I believe SL students are better canopy pilots (where the flying part matters most). Besides, most AFFI's were probably AFF students, that means they get scared getting out low. Don't Pull Low... Unless You ARE!!! The pessimist says, "It can't get any worse than this."

  10. If, on that next jump, you have a mal and a reserve ride, do you get a free repack? Don't Pull Low... Unless You ARE!!! The pessimist says, "It can't get any worse than this." The optimist says, "Sure, it can." Be fun, have safe.

  12. I have a friend that used to have a Hot air balloon and would take 3 of us to 12000 regularly. Then beer and pizza at his place. Boy, I sure do miss his ride. Don't Pull Low...

  14. I concur!!! Thanks to everyone at LSPC for putting on a great boogie!!! This year I actually got to jump, and made some excellent jumps indeed. I believe that the video proves that the freeflyers won the speed star competition (we built more bases than they did and had a rodeo in-between). Again, Thank You One and All!!!

  15. I completely agree. As long as they are doing exactly what they claim then no harm, no foul. Personally I research things like this before I give anyone my money. I remember not giving anyone any money until I was standing at the manifest window at the airport. As long as there is a sucker born every minute there will be someone else there to take advantage. I am not trying to side with anyone, but making sure every side is actually seen. Only time will tell if anyone is on the up and up. Cutaway Don't Pull Low... Unless You ARE!!!

  18. Yeah, but do you know when a Cub Scout becomes a Boy Scout? After he eats his first Brownie!! Don't Pull Low... Unless You ARE!!! The pessimist says, "It can't get any worse than this." The optimist says, "Sure, it can." Be fun, have safe.
  19. I was on a load @ the Hillbilly Boogie where an Amish fellow made a tandem jump!?!? True Hillbilly!! Is this a first? Is everyone that was on that load going to hell? Maybe, we can start a new religion! Cutaway Chris Don't Pull Low... Unless You ARE!!! The pessimist says, "It can't get any worse than this." The optimist says, "Sure, it can." Be fun, have safe.
  20. I was given a bottle of the powder to try, I was told that it usually takes 4 tanks to see results. I am on my 4th now and haven't noticed a significant change in gas mileage. The person that gave me my sample says that they have gone from 16 to 19 mpg in their diesel truck. I have been using it in a '97 mazda 626. One thing that has concerned me is the last sentence on the bottle states "Every person's outcome with the product will be totally different than what is shared in the testimonies." Another concern is the 4 tank start-up. Why should it take 4 tanks? It is supposed to be an enzyme that stretches out the gas molecule or something like that. Why wouldn't it start to work immediately? I have briefly looked at the web-site for more info, but only found investment info, not technical info. Don't Pull Low... Unless You ARE!!!

  21. The mowing part sounds like a great idea, but I am a little concerned about the shrubbery. Do you think it is a good idea to create more obstacles at a DZ. Cutaway Don't Pull Low...

  24. "that guy" at my dropzone is a guy that everyone likes to hang out with on the ground but is afraid to be in the air with. He has been in the sport for a long time ( at least 30 years off and on, mostly off) but doesn't have big jump #'s. He has had various gear issues (blown up canopy, aad fire after low-pull, etc.) as well as not giving enough time between exits and ending up under previous group upon deployment. Several people have spoken with "that guy" and he just complacently shrugs it off and laughs. Nobody wants to give him the golf or chess speech because he is such a nice guy that is great to hang out with over a beer and hear about the "old days". Don't Pull Low... Unless You ARE!!!
