  1. Dude, you and the whyffo might as well move out to the left coast!
  2. After my second jump. Of course, I didn't get outfitted until much later, jump #44. And even then the Frankenrig was not complete....
  3. Hey Michele, That's a cool skydive. Take out a good stable exit and like the other's had said, relax..... Remember altitude awareness and enjoy the freefall. Level IV is a nice jump, too. As I can remember, I bombed that one. Got all unstable and shit, and then went into a slow left hand turn. Video revealed that I had my right knee down slightly which caused the turn. Basically I had a shitty arch. I think you'll do much better. Good luck and post your jump stories!
  4. Welcome to the club, Jen! It IS hard to explain it to somebody that has not jumped, isn't it? Yup, now you know. Also sounds like you liked the canopy ride, too. You gonna become a CReW Dog in the future? Congratulations!
  5. Woof! Congrats! Back in the air, promotion! What's next?! New gear???
  6. Merrick, I get your drift, but one of my goals is to do a HALO jump. Now that I have over 200 jumps, I know that I don't know shit! Even more than the jump numbers, there are probably better (or more) reasons why. eg. freefall time; 200 jumps is over 3 hours. CReW should probably have a minimum jump number. I got my 8 stack on my 37th jump and was probably not "ready" at the time, despite what my instructors had taught me, and what I accomplished during the coach dives. I'll probably miss the HALOs in September, mainly because I need another chamber "ride" which is difficult to fit in. So, it looks like June of 02, (pun intended.) Guess, I'll see you guys at 30k sometime!
  7. That's a great idea! Of course we'll have to commemorate the p/c with a keg of german bier. Shark C-31575
  8. Well, the bungee is not installed yet as the big-ass p/c on the Frankenrig is still new, only ~150 jumps or so. Your point is well taken as I've done a few low levels out of a hovering helo. And I jump a Spectre. Give me your address and I'll send you the bungee....
  9. Shoulda bought a container like the Frankenrig.... Also got a kill-line bungee p/c back from the dead to add life to it. It used to belong to T1.
  10. Yup. Prolly get out to 'Snore around 3ish. No jumping, but I will bring my schtuff and some tape for the ankle in the event that I get psyched to jump and/or get bummed that I'm grounded. Sunday is a better choice. BTW, I've already killed all the vermin at 'Snore. No more holes... L8
  11. Guess we just want more Bush... BTW, wtf is "behaviour?" Edited by shark on 6/15/01 05:52 PM.
  12. And don't forget CReW! Shark CCR-2113
  13. Since I jump at both, I think you should visit each of them and talk to the staff. It will not matter once you get your license.
  14. Yer funny... wanna sharkbite?
  15. See, that's why we have the new uspa rating, an ST&A, as oppossed to the S&TA....

    Hey BarrettJ99

    It was also your first time seeing the Shark with a bent fin. Yeah, too bad we could scare the shit out of each other on the night jumps. BTW, Chaz1234 had a reserve ride Sat. afternoon. What did you guys do? Call each other and plan? Shark C-31575 BTW, you takin' the D test? I need 2 more landings within 2m. Maybe this weekend, depending on how the fin heals.
  19. Mandy, It will be a sad day if you lose to "Barbie" who probably can't turn any points nor go head down. You WILL win, and most likely buy the shark a jump at Snore, or some of that aussie beer Christaan drinks. Corona, right? Anyways, we knows you are hot stuff. See ya at Pear-ass! Shark
  20. skybytch, Wanna use the Frankenrig? After all, it was in one a yer commercials prior to assembly and back from the dead. Wuz it coke or pepsi?
  21. While not wrapped and/or entangled in the air, I can be spotted on the ground with a dropzone.com t-shirt. Also note the cool look of the frankenrig.
  22. Yeah! Where the hell have you been??! Next time leave your babysitter at home... BTW, will I ever see my sweatshirt again? Good thing you didn't take the pants, too! xo
  23. Okay, so what hour do we muster in the Bombshelter for jet fuel?? Remember, they're having night jumps, too. Sounds like a dz.com boogie coming toghether! Skybytch, gonna be our LO? BTW, what is the *record* dz.com bigway formation anyway? So who's gonna be at Perris for crew and swooping?
  24. I believe he said he's an aeronautical engineer. Articulate and able to communicate at any level. Especially to us skydivers with dinosaur sized brains (or shark sized).
