Do you mean the "hurricane" freefly suits that Nancy makes in Deland??? I cant remember how its spelled but it does sound similar to "oregon".

Either way...they are both fun to do!!!

Isnt that a Billy Idol song??? What was it that he was referring to when people "dance with themselves''? Just kidding...

yeah, along with making students feel a bit better there are other reasons why landing near your students is a good idea...Its a lot easier to help them out with the gear so the toggles are on properly and nothing is dragging, etc. and it can also be a safety issue crossing runways, etc. But the main reason that I enjoy helping out a student after they land is to get their reaction to the jump. Nothing beats the big grin after a jump from a student.

Welcome to our world...he shuts down Skydive New England everytime he goes on vacation in Maine...usually without any advanced notice.

Ahhhhh....good idea...I will have to do so, although it is a major pain in the arse...at least is a start!!! THANK YOU!!!!

yeah, I thought the same thing...but I havent felt this in 1400 plus jumps...I havent felt anything so DEVASTATING....very strange....

95% of my email is shit!!!!

I dont register this email anywhere...why do I have so much shit in my mailbox???? I am debating shutting it down.

dont you worry mister...I am going to sort him out on a level 2/Cat B soon enough....he is coming to the end of the year party tomorrow!!! Oddly enough, his good leg was the problem!!!

Check this out...I tought this guy that has this state of the art prostetic leg to jump. Today we ended up doing his Cat A and mid freefall, I got the weirdest sensation. Everything became absolutely silent and everything went into slowmotion. The only thing that I could feel was each single "ruffle" of wind that was hitting my body. You can actually see it in the video where I am doing my gig and then, I kind of space out a bit for a few seconds. Extremely strange. Everything just became peacefull, very surreal. I really dont know how to explain it. I am not necessarily religious, but it was pretty f'n cool. If I could only put in a bottle and market that feeling...Bizarre shite. I guess this footage is going to be shown in New England on the local news channels and from what the guy tells me, CNN is doing a thing on him on their headline news. He has this really bitchin fake leg...almost stood up the landing too on a 0 wind day...pretty good!!! FYI. His existing leg was the weak one on this dive!!! Typical AFF Cat A. The prostetic leg was solid!!!

Is there any other??? Skydive New England!!! Check it out www.skydivenewengland.com See you there!!!

seen it...pretty good stuff!!! Its going to be on his dvd...I think the dvd is going to be about an hour and a half long...including about 10 different camera angles of him hitting the hanger...there is the one angle of his camera on that stunt. One of the ground crew takes it off him and sets it down. the guy didnt even know that it was on and he set it down in the perfect place outside the hanger...you get to see all of the emts and video people, etc taking care of him. Its all fastforwarded, but it is a great shot!!! Check it out!!!

for those of you interested Tim Bernard is putting together a website about his incident at the WFFC. Some amazing photos as well as some graphic ones. He has already started it and will be adding to it. Check it out. www.frankenass.com

crack away!!!!

along with ivan, pick ONE thing and work on it for the whole jump so you can really focus on it and play with it....rather than doing 8 different things in one jump.

I thought part of the problem was that they wanted to mount the lasers on the tops of the gates and the gates were moving around too much due to wind motion.

well I know that they were messing with lasers for a while, but due to some techincal difficulties they have abandoned them for now...too much movement going on and they werent giving reliable readings.

there are some limits to taste...i.e. signs that say "we dont leave our students hanging"

got it...still havent seen the johnny cash video!!!

http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/classifieds/detail_page.cgi?ID=2690&d=1 yeah, but I wouldnt recommend it...I am jumping ship....along with quite a few others....

ahhhhh...I had some black JW on ice this morning for breakfast...around 10 am...moved to beer....then a bottle of wine...I love my job!!!

yo, dave...i came in for the video of the year award. i missed the rest of it...should i watch the replay or am i going to be just as frustrated as the voting for the video of the year award???

Indeed, I am talking to Mr. TicToc... Tic...Toc...Tic...Toc....where are you???? -Tic...Toc... -Whos There??? -My tip... -Where??? Beer!!!! (my apologies, it was the best I could come up with.)

Oh, man are you in troooooouble...go to your room!!! You know, I DO judge a man by whether he buys me a beer or not... by these considerations...you are definately OFF my christmas card list...
