Well, Cindy said Tony Suits had the technology and could fix it. So, I'm hoping that it has actually made it there by now and is in the process of being repaired. I sent my helmet to Unfeathered last week and am waiting for its return. As yet I haven't jumped. By the time all my stuff gets back I will definitely be ready to get in the air. Defintely, NO DOWNWINDS!!!!

Hey Chris, Just got off the phone with Lee and he suggested that I let you know I plan on being at the Dublin boogie. Something about a headcount or something. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to it. See ya then, if not before. Doug C.

Hey Keith, you're right. I've only been out once or twice since my accident in N.C., and only to sit on the sidelines. But there are a bunch of good people there that will not hesitate to get the newer jumpers involved and offer helpful criticism. I even get asked to jump with you guys, every now and then, and some of those invitations have come from Fortson. I like jumping at other drop zones when I can, but Skydive Tallahassee is my home dz. I finished most of my AFF there, got my A there, got my B there, and like going there. Hope to be back in January, provided I get all my equipment back from being repaired and serviced. Doug C.

didn't know that. Their name though, does stand for Payable On Death and I understand they started out doing songs with a Christian theme.

I had a pretty bad landing about 6 weeks ago. My helmet ripped off my head, went unconscious, got a concusion and scraped up. When I went back to work performing limited duties I was asked by a guy, "so, what happened to you? Are you all right? Is there any permanent brain damage?" Oh yeah, I had a labotomy because they couldn't save a part of my brain, and I'm sitting here talking to you, functioning normally. What was he thinking?

What do you mean, especially black players? There are only like 2 white guys in pro basketball. I think basketball is a very racist sport, against whites.

I agree with InflightSupv to a certain degree. Scriptural baptism is a public identification with Jesus Christ after trusting Him as Lord and Saviour and being Born Again. It is a conscious decision made after the new birth and is a total submersion, not a sprinkling. Therefore a child cannot be baptised until he or she has become a Christian. Doing anything else to an infant is only for the sake of the parents or grandparents and has no spiritual or eternal value at all.

well i've only got 60 or 70 jumps on my z1, and it has never come off on opening. The only time it did come off was when i hit the ground downwind at about 40 mph.

I recently had a really nasty downwind landing in which my z1 was ripped off my head, as well as breaking the face shield cmpletely off. Does anyone know if Parasport would want to look at it for any degradation in the shell? I also need to replace the two plastic screws that hold the shield on, but haven't had any luck finding them on line. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

GUARD YOUR HEAD!!

Hey Chris, I think I'll be able to make this one, but I am definitely not going to repeat my act at the Mountain Boogie. Doug.

Thanks Phil, the MRI is today and tomorrow is when my Doc interprets it for me. Things are starting to improve though. The dizziness is not occuring near as much as a couple days ago. Cindy says it looks like I'm walking better, but it doesn't feel it. Hope to be visiting you all at the DZ real quick. Tell Toni I said thank you for the prayers. Doug.

To those who have written that were or were not there and do not know me, thank you for your concern of a fellow skydiver. But up to now I have neglected to publically thank the one that deserves my thanks and Praise. The Giver of Breath, the Sustainer of Life, the Creator of the Universe, my Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe that it was a real miracle that I got out of that landing with not one broken bone or one stitch taken. Thank you Lord.

QuoteExactly... it was more like... slllliiiiiiide.. tumble tumble roll roll roll. DID ANYBODY GET THAT ON VIDEO? I'd even pay for a copy of it.
