You don't like packing??

If they flare before they hit the ground? YES! Team-SPUD! I could've sworn that said Team-STUIPD.

So let's say at your DZ there are a few packers that are always their packing, be that student rigs, fun jumper rigs, tandem, etc. 1. If you ask them consistently to pack your rig, is it common courtesy to tip them every time, once every week, once a month, etc? 2. If they are busy, what's the 'proper' way to ask them to pack your rig? Just go up and ask, or does each DZ keep a list and you just add your name to it? (in case you're too lazy to pack) 3. Is it customary to tip them regardless of whether they pack your rig once a week or at least several times a week? 4. Do you 'tip' with beer, money, or......

In terms of getting the next level license? I've met people in person (as well as seen the people on this board) that only have an A or B, and have more than enough jumps to be eligible for the next level license. What advantages does one have with a B instead of an A license, or a C instead of a B, etc? Just wondering.

The yearning is definitely there. Now all I need is weather, money & time.

Thanks Joe. I'm actually going to stay at the bunkhouse, because I want to be as close as possible and be up in the sky as much as possible. Even 2 miles is a long commute when you want to be in the air... Besides, I'm not a skydiver yet...so I would probably not be eligible for a discount

For skiing...for playing in...for ahem..other activities..but landing in it??? You must be outside your damn mind!

Yea yea yea yea...

I don't know if I'll have the $$$ for the tunnel time...but I'll try. Shame I won't get to meet some of you guys, but maybe next time?

You know I'll make sure he has a great time!! Especially if he gets his A. Yeaaa baby I'll hold you...to that. So why the hail was this moved? I don't think me visiting Elsinore qualifies as a MAJOR EVENT.

Hey Elsinore peoples! I am flying in on the 7th of January, and leaving on the 18th. My goal is to jump as much as I can, have fun, and possibly get my A license in the process. Looking forward to meeting all of you Elsinorian skydivers! So what's the weather like around that time? How warm/cold should I dress? Should I bring anything with me, besides lots of beer? Any other suggestions/tips/advice would be appreciated. Can we keep it SOMEWHAT serious?

N/A

English motherf***er! Do you speak it??? - Jules -

I haz it!!!

SIM? That big bound book that has all the information any new skydiver could want? Nope don't have it...sorry.

Oh that was horrible. I am sure you could have found an alto-rnate response.

This one has better visuals OH yeaaa...Candy Dulfer...that girl can...blow....the horn that is...

Great tune. That tune + La Grange by ZZ Top are perfect bar fight songs. Not that I get into bar fights or anything...

Newbie as well. So far my 'other than normal landings' include: 1. bushes/trees on the edge of the cornfield 2. cornfield (thankfully the corn stalks were cut already) 3. off-site landing about a mile or so away from the DZ Just one stand-up landing so far, but I'm damn proud of it, because I a. passed the jump that I failed before and b. landed on my own w/ no radio assistance. Yeaaaaaa!!!!!

You mean as a pilot or as a skydiver?
