look on e-bay! your not gonna get quality with out money, that pretty stright up....i suggest a digital camera, one you can take video with, its the best of both worlds with enough memory! i have a HP photosmart r927 digital camera, with a 1gb sd card, can take up to 45min of video on the lowest setting with good sound too, i love it! .

hes never gonna do it.........just give up....its not for everyone......tell him to get ahold of my buddy....they can play CornHole!! .

Why would any of us be ashamed?? Have you never watched National Geographic?? Wild animals attacking other animals. …all caught on tape…Steve was in the Wild…. Just because he’s human doesn’t change the fact that his situation was “Survival of the Fittest.” Also, it has never crossed your mind, that he had a Television show! That was being video tapped! I can almost bet he was aware of the danger something may go wrong and be caught on tape! Don’t be amazed at what people aren’t ashamed to admit. Be amazed that there has only been 2 sting ray deaths ever recorded and one is on tape…..that’s amazing! .

Why? "I'm Sick" .

lol, the whole time.......sad.......but he's right!! .

Few Things.......i diddent read all the post's so.... All depends on the spring of the board, and your weight. if your weight bottoms out the spring you loose the reaction. if thats not the case.....try to aim for the end of the board......swing your arms up as you start to leave the surface...you wanna time it just right!!.........all about timing!! i can do a double gainer off ours and the god damn thing sucks a shit ton!! .

Yeah, Yeah I'm Sick........I Can't Help It!!........Blame My Mom & Pop's...... Has Anyone Seen The Video Yet?? I Know It's Out There.....But Where?? If You Know, Or If You Have Seen It....Let Me Know.....I Wanna See It! Steve Irwin Was The Man!......I Figured He Would Have Been Eaten By A Big Ass Gator!! Never Thought It Would Have Ended This Way....... R.I.P. Steve .

i would have to say that load was prolly one of the luckiest loads ever. i'm a nasa junkie, i love the shuttle and space in gen. im sure your gonna remember that for the rest of of life. good timing! .

Two, Three, & Four…Passed!!! Yesterday was like a dream. I drove down the DZ and did some jumps. Level two went well. Level Three went well. Level Four went well and was amazing. Level Two really wasn’t shit, little nervous at first but once out the Otter everything else went with it. Felt relaxed and confident during freefall, landed kinda hard. Started to flare early! Level Three was what I needed. Two JM’s then No JM’s. After we exited that plane went into a strong arch, over a big beautiful cloud. Freefalling solo, seeing JM’s in front and not the side was pretty crazy, started to tense up and got a little unstable but recovered with the help of my instructors. Good wave and pull @ 5,500 and the nicest stand up landing I could imagine. When I got back to the gear room there were my JM’s looking very disappointed. I was like Oh shit what diddent I do! They gave me this big long story saying why I diddent pass! I just went along with it thinking I diddent! After they were done talking to me about it, they told me I did just fine and was ready for level 4. I got played. Level Four. Oh boy! This is was unbelievable. One instructor and solo freefall with some forward motion and 90 degree turns. I was let go almost immediately. Was stable the whole time, I did dent have to be rescued and I nailed my turns and nailed the forward motion. And freefell 500 more feet. This was by far the best jump to date. So pretty much, It was a full day of jumping. That went well. Couldn’t of asked for anything more. I’m gonna back soon to get three more in and buy the next package of jumps. I’ll keep you guys posted. Blues, DustyP .

Good Question! Doesn’t make much sense to buy something you can’t use, does it? But my question was “Will it fit a 5'8" 165pound body?” This is something that I might be picking up through a "Trade". The rig is complete! If it has “future” potentional for me I’m prolly gonna trade for it! And if it doesn’t fit, always have it for barging. I never said anything about paying cash money for it, or using it as my first rig. Just wondered if it would fit. I always have a Plan! I’m always Thinking. Thanks for the Replies, Dusty .

Thinking about picking one up! Anyone fly one? Will it fit a 5'8" 165pound body? DustyP .

dude this post is a little late but whatever! the same, not exact thing happened to me. I told them to get fucked. I had two other room mates that made 18.80hr each, that’s almost $5 more than I made at the time. so they tried to persuade me and shit relentlessly, almost like they were trying blackmail me. I started to play along like I would, just told them I wanted some say and it had to be something that we could resell, they were like “yeah man whatever as long as we all agree on it” so they got all happy, and all that good shit. about a week later we went looking for a living room suite, I found this real nice one that they hated. “dude that couch if fucking gay, micro fiber! Its gay” a sells person was trying to help us but was getting nowhere, I was like “I’ll take it” they about shit themselves, funny ass shit. I had already set-myself up an apartment. I straight moved out and got my own place. they were pretty pissed off at me. The lease was up and we were all goin to move to this other house, I was 1/3 of all the cash! They both ended up moving back in their moms. (little bitches) So, no dude, you have every right to be the biggest PRICK when someone else is trying to spend your money, they must have life twisted! crazy asses. we still get along and hand out all the time, they know not to pull that kinda shit on me again, for they live back at home! Good Luck Man, DustyP Living on my own is so much nicer! That’s for real! .

it sounds about right, i also watched evey malfunction video, just to see how they reacted in different situations. pretty much everything you said. it kinda different in a way for me, my heart rate and blood pressure skyrocket when i watch any skydiving video, more than when im standing in the doorway. can't explain it, videos just gets me goin in uh hurry! thanks for the support! i can't wait!! DustyP .

thanks for that too! thats what i needed! DustyP .

thanks, do you also suggest the same for watching videos? (skydivingmovies.com) i grew up playing football and video are everyones friend you can learn alot from video! .

Goin back for more on Sept.9 I’m wanna get all three jumps in that day! Does anyone disagree with this? I feel confident about it, but the first AFF took its toll mentally. (think because I sat in class for 8hr.) Does anyone have any suggestion for me to go over. I study the notes I made, and read almost every post. Just wanna be safe. What will be expected on my day of jumping? I rather be prepared then, not know! If you have anything, please feel free to post! Thanks, DustyP .

Now that's hardcore! Good for them! .

I want to give them all babies!! super Dusty! i wanna go there! .

I plan on buying my first rig next march, I’ll have my licenses by then. Just want to start comparing. I realize that you down size, so I’m kinda thinking used at first then getting a custom one made. What’s the general reaction? Does it depend on skill by the time your ready to buy? I see a lot of cheap deal’s but I want to know what to look for. I’ll pay for quality, but I won’t let myself get taxed! Can anyone relate and help? DustyP .

Thought I would share this dream I had w/you… Its starts out in McDonalds and I was getting a refill. A couple friends were with me, and some people I never met before and we were all in rigs. My girlfriend and her instructor were hooked up tandem.( walking around like it was cool). We were just about to leave and the next thing I know we walk outsaid all start freefalling. I looked over to Jen and asked her “what’s goin on”? she said “God shot the earth at us” I woke up in about 1.5sec after that!! That's all I remember. At least we had gear on! DustyP .

I'm makin it work, I'm broke, As shit! Around $2,400 to get through AFF level 20. I figure. That's w/out buying a Rig, about $2,500-5,500 more for a Rig, maybe higher, maybe less it all depends on who your resources are. Some DZ'z have rigs you can rent for about $45-50 per day. You still have to buy jump tickets. good luck..me too! DustyP .

What do I gotta do? .

Libby my Cocker, she eats my earplugs. its a problem! DustyP .

Two diffrent people, one was a nonjumper the other was. 8000k tandem was in Lansing MI, she said it was a real old plane for 6 that had 7. She said it was real shotty, made it sound like she knew what she was talking about. The other in Wauseon, OH. Some people had all there own stuff. Plane, Rigs, Land (feild), if you knew them you could go up with them. (backyard operation) .
