  1. Ron you have too much time on your hands. kaite check your PM's Just got humbled in the tunnel.
  2. I have two Dead tat's that no one can see. Keep my past under my shirt. Just got humbled in the tunnel.
  3. come to CSS there are several black jumpers. Fast Freddy (he falls like a rock) and most notably James Gibbons (although here been off fighting a war or two lately) James was one of my Aff instructors many moons ago and a serious BAD ASS in the air!! AFF, Tandem etc... Maybe the reason we never notice the color of people on the DZ is this may be one group of people that have figured out it doesn't matter. and the guy from money shot who the picture links to was on the plane with me at nationals. Beat us by one point to finish 9th. Sorry i didn't get his name, but we were locked in mortal combat. Stupid Sky Monkey Just got humbled in the tunnel.
  4. I've never been to one of thier camps, but i have jumped with them and they are outstanding!!!! If you get the chance to learn form them take it!!!! Stupid Sky Monkey Just got humbled in the tunnel.

    The Advice is good, but alot of trouble. You could for about the same amount of money even less if you don't own the tools, just order one from skykat.com Casper creepers rock and are about half the weight of wooden ones. Very comfortable. NO I DON'T make them or work for Skykat, I have just used one for the past 4 years and spent alot of time on it. See you at nationals. Stupid Sky Monkey. Just got humbled in the tunnel.
  6. Hey not so sleepy as lost control of motor function and a little tierd. This isn't about me!!!!! Go KNIGHTS!!!! Just got humbled in the tunnel.
  7. I know that this has nothing to do with the posted topic, but i can see my bro Chris is looking at this page. so Monkey let this one go! This is from a post of mine on a different site. "No one has bigger hearts than the Knights!!! If down they know how to pick it up!! If behind they know how move forward!!! If lost they can find the way!!! Most importantly if ahead they know how to lead!!!!!!!!! Go KNIGHTS!!!!" J. aka Stupid Sky Money! Just got humbled in the tunnel.
  8. Hoov does do some serious jumpin! The reason I don't try to do FAST 4 way with him is his idea of a fast 4 way is 20 in time. I, like most, can't go quite that fast. He can and does on a regular basis. When you push the envolope you will find the edge. Just got humbled in the tunnel.
  9. To take a line from Days of Thunder “He’s fine out there on his own let’s see how he does in a crowd” If it was just skydiving everyone would do it!! There is so much more to competition than free fall it’s amazing. My very first competition Craig Gerard turns to me in round 3 and says hey man check my pin (120 jumps at this point). My next thought was ‘What was the skydive’. The exit, the ground hurdling at 120 mph, the other teams, the chance of a mal, injury, landing, gear fear, etc…. they all add up!! Do I love the tunnel OH Yea!!! It can make an average jumper into a great one quickly if the ability is there. It’s just another tool that the Champions utilize. Would the Knights or Airspeed be where they are without it? I don’t know. Yea it helps, can it replace? I don’t think so. Some other things to consider, experience when things go bad. The tunnel is training under the best possible conditions. We are dealing with humans here and things aren’t always perfect winds, spot, things that play with the mind, group out behind you that comes through your formation, we all jump and we know these things happen. The tunnel is now part of it, but it can’t replace it? It’s Skydiving. Stupid Sky Monkey Just got humbled in the tunnel.
  10. The Face shield is not there to protect you from much more than the wind in your face. If you get hit hard it’s coming off anyway. Great in the winter and great to keep things quiet, but any hard impact and it goes right through it. I love fast 4 way and it’s about all I do. SK1 knows. If you like the goggles with the full face which I highly recommend (the full face that is) do what feels good to you. Just got humbled in the tunnel.
