I guess eloy, but have read deland at around 80,000 jumps a year ...no idea though ...

- In the event of an unwanted opening, to try to catch the reserve pilot chute before the reserve canopy can deploy. \

Blue Ones All, Just had a rad WUffo friend kindly send me an item on yet another space-jumper, searched dz.com - no threads so far. http://www.spacejump.co.uk/ he claims over 1,000 jumps, yet he looks like a youtube - hey I'm off aff on my first solo flyer in his self promotion video of a test jump in his space suit, granted it looks a tad hard to fly but his potato chip on deployment looks like ass. I love dreamers and support exploration. however, this just seems like a hype job. worse than the French jumper? not to be a critical nay-sayer, just another example of the media loving all the wrong things about our sport - Cheers this just seems like a hype job. worse than the french jumper? not to be a critical nay-sayer, just another example of the media loving all the wrong things about our sport - Cheers [url]

Sad...almost like seeing a kid his age with an AK-47, nice that he has some male rolemodels and is doing healthy motion, but what of love and the arts? Could we not cultivate his warrior spirit and physical culture without a base lowering of the boy to near Vick-like dog fighting? I think this is video a lot more pornographic than a pair of consenting adults making love. this video is not worth your time BlueSkies Semper FI

Well I heard some crazy Whffo shit before --> what if the chute doesn’t open etc… but earlier today I was teaching and I had a client who was sure her son had done a tandem base jump in the Switzerland, I thought paragliding? but she had details that seemed to ensure that it was a rapid decent? A paraglide swoop to the floor? I just can’t see the two person exit with a virgin, and the track? It could be done but she must have got it wrong? I guess I just got chapped because I love BASE and feel special and reverent about it. So I’m just curios is there anything like a tandem base in the Swiss valley that she got mixed up with?

Certainly better than "Free BASE!" Keep us posted and good luck with the ascent Cheers

I'm sure the blondes would be honored to go out that way too. Base rigs for the blondes, their talent may still be needed elsewere. I asked my hommie, a MD/PhD student (4th year in a combo program) - (he has two tamdems and one bunggie) old freshman year roomate- he thinks jumping is healthy in terms of the adrenaline, and that as long as your earning your rush in a safe moderated manner that you are more healthy for it. my dad has the "if you are gonna eat like a caveman, live like one" so he defends eating meat, buy runing and trying to experience "leg-wetters" on a regular basis of course on TV they have that cheesy wieght loss pill which claims that stress causes fat-gain, but I always find in easy to stay fit when jumping, my hippy theory is the energy, stirs up the body, and when combined with, Gyrotonic(R) or rock climbing you are really set.

I pm'd you the college essay answer bullet points Craigslist (right on J) try to find sublet for just one month then see for yourself the areas you like(before a 12-24 month lease) I would say below 14th street or east Brooklyn - but that is just my taste. some links: a link on the East Village http://nymag.com/realestate/articles/neighborhoods/eastvillage.htm and one on 'B-Burg http://nymag.com/realestate/articles/neighborhoods/williamsburg.htm Blue Skies Joe

What do you guys think about a two-tone solid, like red top and blue bottom with white ribs A color like yellow/red/orange, you can see easy in the trees, but landing out at Perris or eloy and you might look like the sand. so a blue,green color for days at a dusty dz and a loud color for the forest /ocean *Would this appear to be a reserve to you if you didn't now me, (not counting closer detail like no pilotchute/d-bag, not an RDS type dude@ 1.3) also generally, do you think the use of white in colbalts or Icarus has led to a diminished recognition of white as a sign of duress? Thanks and Blue Skies

RANT ON Brother its how us younger guys learn, good thoughts

Hi, I am in the market for a reserve, I recently spoke with PD and they said it was possible to get any combination of the available colors. I thought I could only get the same color top skin and same bottom, but apparently I can get a rainbow, with each cell different if I want (not really thinking rainbow) I know in Base a different colored center cell makes it easier to pack, I think a reserve is a similar pack-job, so would this help? also when I did AFF, long ago, I remember hearing that a reserve has to be a solid color, usually white - but obviously this is not an FAA regulation. So riggers is there any pattern which would make it harder for you to pack safe? Any colors that would piss you off and hamper your ability ? *Not saying that you would ever let an unsafe packjob go out the door, but perhaps there are the ones you enjoy and the ones you have to think twice about, "like is this is the center cell?" Thank you very much for your help and time Cheers and blue ones -J

HI, I Just found this 17 secound CrW video, a sweet downplane right into a swoop! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbehhlnuhIo who says only the Velo 96 kids get to surf, I thought this was HOT. It really makes me interested in the art form, Blue ones!

You inspired me to search, "asking her to measure..." she said "you're not handsome, but you sure are handy"

In all seriousness now... don't know the nature of your injury / not a lot of info in your original post along those lines, but its probably not important... but think about this, "You've got the rest of your life to BASE jump, why not heal-up somemore before getting back on the Bridge... Aerial... Span... or Earth... errr... Cliff... errr... Rock... errr... Bluf?" very wise and right on, thanks for the good advice, funny how the internet is sometimes better advice than drunkin buddies, I miss you 60's style avatar--new ones cool too, cheers J

HI all, due to a temporary non-skydiving related ouchie, I was thinking about stuffing my buddies TRI 210 in to my J3. I know the reserve is still only a 160, I don't mind lading that off the dz at night, though I always agree with Mojosparky when he rightly brings this up. would it be unsafe try a 210? I asked the sunpath rigger and got a kinda, "don't" because the stiffiners will get messed up, but it seems like if it was unsafe he would have said so? better to just up size to a 190 for a while? or better to wait it out a bit? thanks and blue ones -j

any way to purchase it ? I didn't see anything on the website about a DVD cheers

LAME, poor, poor taste, I almost didn't post because I think the sooner this crap gets to the bottom of the page - the BETTER. Look, I was born in New Mexico, so I know where you are coming from. I don't think you are a racists, but you sure are helping the world stay a cruel, backwards place. I think as karmic repayment you need to volunteer one hour teaching reading in downtown Albuquerque At my University in New York City, we have over 150 countries represented, I feel very different about the world now that I have been educated in a world culture. and as a side note, I feel military service is a great way to overcome ignorance, nothing like showering together to realize its just skin. Blue skies to you in New Mexico, you are lucky to be near green chili and mountains, good luck with your studies and I hope you make time to help and learn from other cultures http://www.unm.edu/news/abqreads/index.htm

Dude, like that way, you save big $$$ on nylon, ...the aerojana starts as a 1:1 loading but by 500 jumps had you at 1.7:1 and 2.3:1 by 1000
