Great, Thanks Remster!

That is what I was looking to see if anyone could clarify that portion...whether or not the reserve fully opened or what.

Did anyone else just see the segment on the Today show about the first time AFF student who survived a 3500' fall? Is that right?!? If I understood correctly it was a static line jump in Seattle area.....Survived with a broken leg and jaw...That man is officially today the luckiest man on the planet! I guess sometime miracles do happen!

Hey are you and Drew going to be able to come down to S.Tampa on Wednesday night?

Alright I'm willing to try if you're willing to show a newbie with only 30 jumps how to do it!

That's right all....My first hybrid...first time landing out and first time flying my canopy through 2 pine trees as opposed to landing in them! I was the "little canopy that could" yesterday! Anyway, after all those first....beer was deserved! Vinny, lets do another hybrid again and maybe this time us girls will let you be part of the action!!! Thanks for organizing it!!!

I will be partying tonight....just not in Zhills! Sunday AM it is!!!

Yep, Christine and I will both be there in the morning ....see you then!

Hey Vinny! Think you'll be out there Sunday morning?

....this weekend? Just wondering if it will be quiet out there with so many people going to WFFC.

I turn 30 in November and I have mixed feelings. I am in total denial that this is actually happening....I don't feel 30 at all....With that said, I have planned a trip to Vietnam and Cambodia to mark the big landmark! I hope to be sitting on an elephant in the jungle somewhere....far far far away from reality on the big day! What did everyone else do to celebrate the long kiss goodnight to their 20's and HELLO to their 30's?

Thanks heaps!

I have a funny video that is 3600KB that I would like to share on DZ.Com...it is too large for me to upload. How can I reduce the size? Any suggestions??

I think that I was pretty confident the canopy would open with no problem.....However, while UNDER canopy my thoughts were more along the lines of "HOW DO I FLY THIS BLOODY THING....NO WAIT, HOW AM I GOING TO LAND THIS??!?!?" Nowadays I am more confident in flying the canopy and slightly more anxious about the pull and opening.

I don't know if you guys were aware that this movie was based on the book by Ronald Dahl. The book is darker than the orignal movie with Gene Wilder. Apparently back in the day, Dahl was very upset with the Wilder movie because it deveated from his book. I don't believe Depp's influence was M.J. I think that Depp is quite possible one of the greatest character actors of our generation and he used a combination of Dahl's character and his own imagination to complete what you see on screen. Fantastic Movie!

As a native of Pensacola I feel for you! I was just remarking at work that the Panhandle is like a MAGNET for hurricanes. I went through countless growing up there. But, down here in the Tampa Bay area....were keeping a watchful eye....considering all the TS and Hurricanes we got last year. Good luck!!

Well I live in Tampa so hopefully I'll see that car around for a good laugh!

Thanks for the tip!

SWEET! I have actually been looking for a "Vote for Pedro" t-shirt for my friend Jason. Where did she get it?

How about: "I don't have any good skills like computer internet hacking .....etc."

Right there with you on that sentiment, man!!!

Once was in a relationship with a guy who lived in Australia......trying being involved with someone who lives in a different DAY than you, different hemisphere. Obvisouly didn't work out! But, on the bright side....spent a month traveling around Australia! Anyway, I'll never do that again. New rule: if I can't get there by car in 2 hour or less...not worth the effort or heartache.

Yes, I have been thinking about going back to my college days of a strict Ramen noodle & bagels diet in order to afford skydiving! Thanks for the tips!

Good Afternoon South Africa!! How are things south of the border?

Stiner, & JumpJunkie.... Stiner first.....think you can make up an excuse to get out there Friday morning?? I'm devising a plan...don't know if it will work but, trying to "take my dog to the vet" Friday morning!! JumpJunkie.....instructors are great at Zhills and you can't go wrong with any of them. My suggestion to you....get there first thing in the morning because Saturday is going to be busy. At least call and give them a heads up to let them know that you are trying to finish up AFF and to be expecting you.
