  1. I have no "commerical motives". How does this apply to me?
  2. Hey! Is anybody interested in flying together at the Hollywood tunnel??? Great rates for midweek, late night. Id love to fly on a regular basis, every couple of weeks perhaps.... Anybody interested in getting into a routine, or just being notified when we need an extra person???

  6. Im going to be in Orlando for a conference November 2nd through the 6th. I was thinking about renting a car and going out to either Titusville or Deland on Saturday. Anyone have any thoughts on the two dropzones? Worth the drive? Anyone going to be out there that weekend? Im trying to decide whether its worth it to rent a car and go out there, or if I should just play in the tunnel which is right next to my hotel... Thoughts?

  9. Definitley get through college so you can get a good paying job that will help support your habit. Besides that, its up to you to determine how you allocate your funds. I make a great living for my age, but since getting into this sport, I live paycheck to paycheck. I cut cost wherever I can, put equipment on my credit card, and juggle bills to pay for jumps.. Trust me, Im not recommending this. I wish I was more responsible with my money. Maybe I will regret this later in life, but right now, nothing makes me happier than jumping and being at the dz... so thats what I do...
  10. This isnt very original but when I was a kid I used to get a kick out of the "Suran wrapped toilet" trick. Lift the seat of the toilet up and wrap suran wrap around the boy seat... put the girls seat back down. My poor mom peed all over the bathroom floor on more than a few occasions. My dad thought it was hilarious... My mom... not so much

  13. I love my cat but she usually doesnt get to sleep in my room or my roommates rooms unless we dont have to wake up for anything the next day. She's about 7 or 8 months old and still hasnt learned to sleep through the night yet. Every few hours she wakes up like someone dropped Speed in her Kitty Chow... bolts all over the room, runs into walls, jumps on my head, and does flips off the side of my bed... I am not exaggerating. It takes her 45 minutes to an hour to calm back down and then she'll go back to sleep for another few hours. I think my cat is crazy... which Im sure I could have forseen considering she was born at a DZ
  14. Are we the only state that its legal in???
