  1. I first met Jeff N. at Rantouls a few years ago.. his eyes had just popped out of his head because of a flat spin he had... his eyes were so bloodshot the entire freefall convention it had everybody freaked out! Good times.

    I have had my share of flat spins... ball up and fly out of it.. if that doesnt work just PULL and pray.

    huh?

    I thought Spot was being very thankful and respectful to the organizers.
    He fully deserved a recognition of and explanation of the "written rules" that were misleading, no?
    More so given he was recovering from a near death experience one would think.

    Maybe in the future a "walk-up" registration could be accepted with the understanding that you won't get food or goodies that were pre-ordered based on registration numbers?
    ;)




    I second that idea...

  3. from what i have heard in relation to the experience/safety/ flying ability was not on the top of the list on weather or not you got to be in the formation... it was more complicated than that.. :o

    I have flown with DSE as have many of us and I know he has the qualifications as far as flying goes... maybe these are the reasons that the "100" way never materialized.

  4. hahah.. i came out on discovery channel and i didnt even get to see it live!!!

    thanks for the footage.. and those were some awesome jumps...
    I was on the load where Bland got taken out and the video looks a lot more hardcore than it did in person... I think we have all seen these kind of things happen before.. some worse some not.. I am very happy that Scott and Zack are ok as i expected them to be...

    great footage though.. the comentary did suck.. but it gives you a good perspective on how to treat the rest of the discovery channels shows...

    Thanks to Justin, Scottand Jeff for organizing,..... and Scotty and Matt as usual did super with the pictures.

  8. In November I flew direct with American Airlines from SJU to Ohare (is that how you spell it...??)

    The island has suffered a major setback in 08' with a reduction in flights in general... and now the flights remaining get full fast and therefore more expensive.. so get your tickets or start swimming over...
    the boogie is going to be awesome!:ph34r:

  11. you are a big guy to be jumping a suit with such small wings... I am a big guy as well.. my recomendation is to not even think/worry about your fall rates untiull you dominate that suit and move up to one that has larger wings.

    in the mean time do what one of the other posts says and practice practice practice all different types of manuevers; this way when you do get your ass in a bigger suit you have more experience and understand the dynamics better.

  12. you might qualify for the deal tony has on returning the INTRO and getting credit towards your raptor.. if $$ is a thought that might make all the difference...

    plus tony suits are the sH$%#$%
