my sentiments exactly when i began. and it's the same the world over my friend. BTW i never knew there was pro paintball?!?

you certainly think you know/learned everything about tandem skydiving from one experience. I believe you missed the whole point of skydiving in your quick attempt to begin your complaining. You have a video of your freefall which IS the SKYDIVE. Normally people are so exhilarated they can enjoy eveything that happened, realise shit happens. You seem quite selfcentered and more upset that you couldn't direct the video production?!?! Be happy in the fact that you have the memories, a roll of film, and vid of your dive. Who cares what happens on the ground when everything went safely and according to instruction. If your freefall were to have 'suffered', you probably would be dead. Maybe you have some other experience we don't know about though.

do mind if your nutz shrivel up from free radical cfc's in your food......i am not a scientist though.

soon.......like checks in the mail, type soon?

the first main CON is that no one has the camera even Samsung. Has anyone been able to ACTUALLY see it? I work in a related industry and am trying like hell to get a demo model from my studio. I have emailed Samsung as well; no love so far.

you can borrow Jackie Love while I go to Empuriabrava he rocks! doesn't pull on lead and responds to commands in Spanish. You have to have a queen size bed or larger as he's a bed hog.

@ ericmillionaire Hi, that would be me!!! and the funny thing is that I posted that one because my girlfriend Mirjam bumped into trouble when trying to come to an understanding with you on purchasing your canopy. You will recognise her e-mail-adress([email protected]) as you mailed her -and got a reply from her- today. What we didn't know before we started contacting Americans to find a canopy for Mirjam was that things over there and over here work pretty different. Initially we were a bit overwhelmed by some of the replies we got to our e-mails, but after posting the message in the bonfire and reading the replies we are slowly realising why we get these kinds of replies. The upside of this whole story is that I got an e-mail from Brad, an American that regularly comes to Holland and that knows a few people that I know, in which he offers to help us out, by acting as kind-of a middle man. I sent him an e-mail asking him to confirm this story by posting a reply here. I have been around for a while, and I have (aside from my regular job in insurances) just recently started a little company in Holland to bill my video-jumps and sell tandems and courses. I have no desire to build up a bad reputation. You can find my contact-info, chamber of commerce number and Tax-number here. After we have found a way of payment that is acceptable to you and us we can come up with a number of references in the Dutch skydiving-world, and I would like to have some references from you. I am asking this because we will pay someone at the other side of the world and we know and understand that you will not send us that canopy untill you have gotten money, and at that time it's up to us to trust that you will send us the canopy. Let's just get to some kind of situation where we can make a deal that everyone is happy with fast! Blue skies, Tom As Tom and Mirjam are saying, I am Brad Gayo and when I first read this thread about scam artists, it sent me from Wendy's( wmw999 ) links to Tom's 'question thread' about US/EU banking differences. Since Tom is in ND i immediately pm'd him suprisingly at the same time my Dutch friends who knew him were telling him to contact me for help in payment or shipping. I knew he would be aquainted with my friends and he did check my references. Quite funny actually, I figured Tom would think I was a scammer from my immediate offer; as we all know, the skydiving community is small, and in Holland it even SMALLER. It is not even a 6 Degrees of Separation if we all look a bit. I couldn't have said it better myself. From my personal transactions for many years now almost monthly, there is no way for someone to access into an account unless they figure out how to hack the bank first. When I first moved to EU, it freaked me out as well all the direct transfers, but it is the SAFEST and MOST SECURE type of transaction available to access funds in a timely manner. As for the personal connection, I was almost about to inquire about buying the same canopybut decided to wait. The people Tom and I know, a few are cops actually, and I can now vouch for Tom and Mirjam 100%. Therefore, I can offer funding for all parties involved if they like. Now, this won't work for all transactions at DZ.com, but as Tom wrote So in this instance we can all provide our own checks and balances to help of our friends help each other cool..huh? another example of the safety of the transfer process, check the info these skydivers put up http://www.pressurized.at/order_info.html

So that's why your homepage doesn't have any close-ups of your face ! Depends which home page you mean. mmae.iit.edu/people/professors/kallend.php really doesn't matter which homopage you look at from kallend they both seem like they were designed by a special ed program. they suck.

yeah man! me too, even if I am in California right now! Brad

http://wickedweasel.com/models have you people never seen bikinis before or something?

Brian, yeah it's really nice. I have two dogs that really put a floor through it's paces and the pergo is pretty good. I din't install it, but I have friends who are no more handy than an double amputee and they had no probs doing theirs alone. Give it a go.

finally good guidance for teens in this troubled world of questions. Mike must be a youth group leader at his church or local teen center. Kudos Mike!

exactly! i know it is not your friends doing, but soooo much human trash in this country with the idea,"yeah I get a snake, i'tuh be cool huh." With no idea of what they are getting into. Then they get the great idea to breed them....from their trailer.....next to their pit bulls....sad

Tom, i pm'd you about help in purchasing. I have accounts to facilitate a sale for you.

what the f*** are they smoking at the BBC?

Yup, in about episode 4 I think. yeah i saw that a couple of weeks ago..really cool all black canopies, night jump, and biffed landings by one guy. Very natural rather than a pro swoop tour shot. Any of them dz.commers?

i almost dumped a load at that season finale. They really packed a load of get ready for next season all in that last scene on the bridge. F ME! I had not seen any of that coming. can't wait for July!

I can trade AE help for RW coaching Chrissay

I use them all Digital Fusion, Shake, AE even Flash(you could consider it comp'ing app too). It all depends on your project at hand, your elements/footage res, and what are you exporting for: film, tv, cd/dvd etc. Hi Jarno Hi Saskia,

spray mount. It comes in cans like hair spray or spray paint. it will last forever, or until you break up with him and destroy the scrapbook...just kidding...spray mount though.

well put it this way, if the Pink Mafia Sisterhood list gets any bigger, i have a major concentration problem....which ones speak spanish though?

not really. it depends on the circumstances, where, how you live your life in the US. But if by chance for insurance reasons or some random course of events you were piss tested and tested positive for pot.....the shit will hit the fan for sure. If they ever want to make an example of someone in the US, they will.

already left. Sept 15, actually for good after the turmoil; and not because of the terrorists. I knew exactly what the US administration would do to the world in their own financial self interests. Low and behold...I was correct. Watching this place from abroad is like a bad movie; and returning recently for holidays, is like living a horror flick.

you need Doc, a badass freeflyer here in California, he owns a brew store I believe. Don't know if he is on DZ.com though or what. guess that is not much help

that's the whole reason I carry my rig on with me
