wrong time of year for you guys...

fixed it for you. i hope to do better next time. sorry.

I heard something about a spoof being made, it was called The German Sheperd. I think it's supposed to be coming out around the same time. Anyway, just got back from the movie. It was good, very long and slow yet intresting. I would have rather seen it on my couch so I can pausse it to get another beer and use the bathroom. Oh well.

Anyone seen this movie yet? What are some thoughts? I'm on my way to go see it now. I'll let ya know what I think....if ya want. OH and Merry Christmas Everyone!!

What's your adventure?

spend less time on dz.com.

I could have sworn that was Lewis Black sucking on helium.

my bad, spectre 210 $800 but your point would still remain, not sure but help yourself to the link and click on gear. I have jumped this main and it's very new and flies amazing. http://www.skydiveogden.com/ edit to add that it is new being dom 06, it has a some jumps on it though...your new and my new might not be the same that's why I had to clairify.

I just want to thank you for posting this story and video and doing it so eloquently. I learned some things and I have not had the chance to experience yet, i.e., flying with other people and burbles. Anyway, Great Thread!

They are new as in DOM 2006...not sure how many jumps but they have but here's the brake down of what I was going to buy... Wings Container-$1200 Spectre 170 $1250 PD 193 $800 In my first post I was dong the math for a different container, a sabere 2 210 for $800, also new. I know the DZO gets great deals and passes them along to his customers, I've done all 23 of my jumps at his DZ... Anyway, I found a way to save even more money and still get the Main that I want which IMO is like engine in the car. Now I can jump more and travel!

you can count on me coming your way, just not sure when. I can't wait to get active in this sport and start seeing some new places from the ground and the sky. I am also excited to meet some new like minded people. see ya soon!

canadian math!!

Maaan...thanks guys, this is why I love this site....a lot of good feedback.... I'll update anyone who cares on my situation. I am planning on buying a slightly older (03) but in great shape wings container for half the cost.... $600! And I'm working on buying a reserve that will fit for around 500, now I'll just buy the main that I love (spectre 170, white top and bottom with red center cells) from Brian and will have save about a grand!! I have been talking to them about getting my A-stamp before I go, that shouldn't be a problem...but you are so right about going to Eloy or somewhere else closer instead. Thanks for the heads up on Cedar, I was hoping to make it there soon but I will try and knock out a bunch more jumps first. I really just want to jump from 18 over the ocean...sounds beautiful. I can handle a coule of extra days waiting weather and sightseeing but I would rather just jump my butt off. Thank you guys for your insight, it is always much appricated!

they sound good...downloading some tracks now...thanks!

now for the list of things that bug you on dz.com....

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2001/02/07/MNW32356.DTL presa caniro's were the dogs that killed that lady, it talks about them here. when I say some are scary I was more referring to they way they look, a pit-bull on steriods type of dog isn't they kind I would want to cuddle with. but you are totally right, the owner's dictate the dog's aggresiveness. we are all just products of our environments.

Isn't that the breed of dog that killed that lady in her hallway with the owners watching...some ties to a white supremest that was in prison? They tried to blame in oh her for being a lesbian??? Scary stuff. I love dogs but some breeds just are scary!!

Well once I get a rig, I'm going to celebrate in Florida at the Spacecenter at 18,000!!! I have jumped in almost a month and I'm going crazy... But I think I will take your advice BigGun and talk to the DZO about but the rental rig that i've been jumping and then ordering a custom container and selling it back to him when it arives!! The less I spend on the rig the more I can jump in Fl. I want to spend two days there are do about 5 jumps each day, that way I can stay in a bunkhouse for free and save money in that area of the trip!!

holy shit, that was insane. servers her right, i just wish i could have heard more of her reaction. i need some follow to that saga...

Ok so I have 3 grand to spend on a new rig. It will be my first one and I intend on buying from my DZO. He got some new stuff in recently that I have been jumping and really like. Wings container, Spectre 170 Main, and a PD 176 reserve. $3150 No add. The DOM on this gear is 2006 and the rig has under 50 jumps I belive. But here's my question for you guys, after talking breifly to the DZO about buying the rig he already has that fits good, he mentioned that he can get me a great price on a new custom fit wings container for the same price he would charge me for the used one only I would have to wait 8 weeks for it. I can't decied what to do, I'm the typical "i want what I want when I want it" type of person so I would love to just have it so I can travel around a bit and jump when money and wheather permits, but damn having a new container built to fit my body and with colors I want is a great offer. What would you guys do? Wait, buy now, or somthing else. Is there other options that I should consider? Thanks for your input!

throw it in the trash and buy a mac, or better yet donate the POS so that some underprivalaged kids can learn some computer repair skiils.

Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand the biggest book I have ever attempted to read. I'm about half way into it after about two months. It's great so far. Has anyone read this classic? "Who is John Galt"

I emailed him about this. I asked him if he would be willing to send the rig to my DZO for inspection and more to make sure it is not a scam. He told me he was on his way to the UK and would ship from there but he wanted half of the money up front via western union. The biggest reason I belive this is a scam is because the price is WAY to low for all of this gear. I'm down to take it off his hands for $1900 but I doubt he has this gear for sale, just nice pics and an ad to con people out of their hard earned money.

Are you using a mac? becareful downloading from limewire if your not.

Mac.
