  1. like Will said above.. if you have never flown entirely on rear risers before it falls in the advanced canopy class ie. crossbraced sub 100sf. It absolutely will be the fastest canopy on the hill. Why not just get a GLX?
  2. spoken like a true swooper with a sail cloth canopy ...IMHO the best material for GL wings. maybe best for a new thread but did anyone see the ad from Ozone in Parachutist for the Bullet...it begs the question if you are not a paraglider, where do you fly besides back country? For example your Aeros canopy would not be allowed in the US at US Paragliding Assc sites, ie The Point in Utah or Torrey Pines in San Diego. The last inquiry at TP resulted that you needed to be an expert paraglider to fly a Bullet. As skydivers/swoopers we know this to be false. Interesting how grey the area is......will they get it someday, really rhys....?
  3. all over it rhys in LA presently but am near you on the coast. just put up another short vid from the beach dunes. I was sorta near the PG hill. I have more than a few places in mind, bandit runs etc. SOON though! through pms I am getting a small network together of pilots who are around us and ready to fly with peers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdthUgmyBEE
  4. yes there is a road to the top. that rocks
  5. Hey all.... put up a short GL vid from utah..enjoy Just three of us there, of course the weather turns to junk when youfly in from California; still better than any day at work though! Laughing[/;)] Great time though with Joey Jones and Craig...he da man... people this is fantastic canopy conditioning and control work! We have another trip planned for july if anyone is interested pm me... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djjsTuVG-5k
  6. sounds like santa barbara sorta, wait and maybe get a load
  7. Anyone remember in the Battlestar Gallactica episodes from the80's...they did a nite jump into a cylon outpost :) All black canopies and suits. Nice footage
  8. Hey- Am in Toronto working for a few weeks and wondered if I could share a ride to any of the dz's in the area. I can pay gas, beer etc. :) or can anybody point me to the closest dz with an idea of public transit. Any info is cool.... thanks
  9. is anyone going to burning man from the San Luis Obispo CA area this year? looking for a lift for someone..share gas etc ..pm if you like thnks
  10. agreed, Bundy rocks....well worth the time and money to anyone at any skill level. Grab Duane Hall if he's around also. Both are great resources for canopy pilots

    Hawkeye

    LRG size, D box for PC1 Sony, setup with a cam eye, and silhouette, mounting plate on top. I know who took it, but did you buy it...?
  12. Curious of others with Tibial plateau fractures and the final range of motion returned to the knee. I was pretty flexible before my break and am back to about 120degrees now. Accident was end of June. 10 titanium screws and a titanium plate to hold the pieces together. Just started physio a month ago and have gained 30degrees since. But can't run or hop yet. Any input is appreciated.
  13. That was probably when Rosa was doing body shots on the table. I NEVER DID THAT, YOU PERVERTED FROG!
  14. Somehow I'd think tunnel guy BRAD would like a name! Doh! Thanks! I see him at the tunnel, but I couldn't remember his proper name. Btw, before Brad knew my name, he recognized me from DZ.com pics. He called me Vanillaskygirl a couple of times. I didn't really know him, so it freaked me out a little. Ok, now both Brad and I should remember each other's names... i m not sure that's me in the pic taking Gia's husband from behind, sadly...., but Keith and I did split that tequila..hmmm...And now, no, I will never forget Rosas name, or Nicks , or Keiths, but what were the dogs names?
  15. Keith you don't remember that one thing and then the thing that happened with the pool....just kidding it was a blast to finally meet all of you last night! That one tiny shot of tequila I still felt when jumping today. Hope to see you guys again. I can't imagine how hung over you guys must be...ouch Post the pics Rosa!
  16. tunnel time tonight at Perris and THEN........ I think I finally get to meet Frenchy AND Rosa; two of my favorite posters This is to be the hilight of my week after working 10am to 4am for the last 3 weeks straight....but I knew if I stayed focused, and I did, my jumping for the YEAR is now payed for. Now when can i get measured for the new PHI suit? work aint that bad if it pays for mucho jumps!
  17. have 2 of each for me too Coch!
  18. play Guster, Parachute song.....
  19. WOW those kids rock!! They are going to have amazing confidence as they grow older I bet.
  20. The only thing they will ever have close to a wind tunnel in Dixon is an upright manure spreader.... i think Gridley would be a better sports center than Dixon; or maybe Artois......sorry i just had to....lol But a NorCal tunnel would rock!
  21. my sentiments exactly.......i can't wait to see al you ppl....I hope I am not going to be puking those words the next day as I jump
  22. the up side is... it's not country
  23. MONTROSE, I am working with one of his guitarists at the moment. but....wow Dickie Betts ata small club would rock. Was his son with him?
