  1. Hey Good Idea! Except probably a lot of the people at our specific DZ aren't on DZ.com but we can give it a try. ;-) Krip vskydiver JohnMitchell Sdlc Amazon adams1st NWFlyer Anyone else? Add your name to the list and repost it. Hi Nice lady Real sky diva's/divers that don't lurk DZ.com Guess we'll see how short the list gets. BTW BUMP

    Great websight Found this gizmo http://www.biolifetechnologies.com/ less expensive than the camera and a daily user
  4. Hi Les Next yr will be our 40th anniv of our first jump (on a double L). The canopy had a few more color's than the pic shows and we jumped from a C-195 (no door) We thought making a jump on our 40th Anniv would be a nice milestone In case anyone is wondering no way is this fat old fart going to try and land any kind of a round under any weather conditions unless the earth is covered in pea gravel. R.I.P.
  5. If you can find one the old army freefall helmets worked for me. Their covered in leather have lots of padding and ribs made of a hard material. They also come with clips for o2 masks, intercom earpieces, pull the dot adjustable chinstrap. Their hard to find and their nickname is "bunny helmet". Only down side is they don't provide full face protection unless your wearing the o2 mask and goggles.
  6. Welcome to the old school club, so ya ready to go again? Hi SS A PC isn't retro enough. Now if you got out some of your double L or the 7TU stuff
  7. Hi Squeak How you doing? Not trying to flame you just responding to your post. In rersponse to your post/bet I'm not a smoker, never have been and have never seen someone pack another persons rig while smoking. I think I have seen some peeps pack their own gear while smoking, but I'm not the DZ packing nazi.
  8. Stop shouting or dave will hear you and rape your ass. At this rate you won't leave for LP until there are 1400 posts in this thread. .
  9. Hi Spence Since you were to busy, we did take a peakfor you. No charge just for you buddy.. TYhe A#1 good deal websight also offers Nascar rides. Among others Of course it could just be someone else copying the skyride "business model" .If it's not skyride I wonder if skyride could sue them for ripping off their ripoff.
  10. Oh yeah.. looks like the weahter is really going to suck all week.....
  11. You know what, I think the majority of skydivers should just drop the Skyride issue altogether. Yes, they annoy me with their false websites, weather insurance and deceptive business practices. The buyer must beware. Who in their right mind wouldn’t do research among the various dropzones and service providers via the internet & BBB.com when pursuing something as unusual as skydiving. If you don’t shop around, you’re going to pay more. This is true in any industry. I personally don’t feel an obligation to save these dupes from themselves due to their own laziness as consumers to research the facts about a vendor before handing over a credit card number. If a vendor refused to tell me the location of their dropzone, I wouldn’t give them my credit card number. I’d hang up. Jaco People are still falling for the Nigeria scam By talking the talk instead of walking the walk you just did the opposite of what your preaching. Your a skydiver, say have no interest in the effects that skyrides "business model" has on unsophicated consumers, but your helping get the word out by posting your opinion on the internet about 1-800-SKYRIDE .

  12. Hi If you know the packer is smoking while working so does everyone else at the DZ. If there's a accident to the DZ/jumpers gear due to the cigs there will just be some holes in the nylon due to melting. Cold Ash's won't have any affect on the canopy IMO Don't whine about the human chimney packing other peoples/DZ gear, it's still safe enough for you to jump. Stay upwind of the human chimney so your temple doesn't get polluted from the second hand smoke, and when you get your own gear don't let him pack it. Problem solved, Enjoy yourself, don't worry be happy.
  13. There's also a rumor that the shuttle is going to cost $1 ea trip I don't think I noticed that part of the rumor, but I did hear we'll have to land off the south end of the runway. The normal LP landing area isn't big enough to handle the boogie crowd (that's where we all pack), and I've heard there are some property access problems with the area we usually land in during the boogie. If I understood correctly, it's only a half mile or so that we'll be riding, so no big deal. Blues, Dave There could be safety reasons (traffic landing patterns) for relocating the landing area from the area used in the past. We (me myself & I) would rather take the shuttle than see one person get hurt due to unavoidable traffic issues. No sweat.

  15. Hi PC OTOH you could keep the slider you got and change canopies JOKE!!!!!!!
  16. [reply Not sure about the candy g-string this year. Maybe ... we'll see what kind of mood I'm in. I am rather shy. Hi 666 If you wear the candy G-string I promise I won't eat one piece to save your modesty.. I'll only lick so no one will know anything happened. Trust me I'll ask first I'll be wearing the LP 25th Aniv T-shirt
  17. Neither of those would work, given that YOU sent me the picture and told me to put it up as my avatar. Wouldn't it be more accurate to have it up while you're at Prairie? Blues, Dave Shell Don't listen to dave How about putting the Herc back up up when we're at LP and can see the real deal, and then replacing the nice pic of Herc with this avatar when we get back, until next year. Herc's a nice puppy but not his nice BTW are you going to be wearing the candy G-string again this yr
  18. Who am I going to be measuring? You or Dave? Me Don't need no 6" ruler. Bring magnifying glass and tweazers BTW happy birthday nice lady
  19. OH! That's right! I'll try to remember to bring my tape measure with me! A 6" ruler is long enough One Jump Wonder
  20. Email PD you should get a answer quick enough.
  21. Oh you wouldnt think the power settings on the 30' Bertams might have been pulled back a little for some "special" students would you Damn I never even gave it a thought until I responded to your origional post. I was just joking, but now that you mention the possiability Even the Instructors when rotating out of the unit... got that treatment
  22. Great!!! Another babe don't forget your packing machine and John.
  23. Hi A Did I hear you say packing the mains under supervision if required & riggers for the belly warts. Damn I think I hear the list peeps wanting to jump the rounds getting shorter.
  24. We did the parasail thing once in water survival school, and got paid We were launching off a little flatop boat facing into the wind with a power boat pulling on the parasail. The instructor tells us when you get the signal start running and don't stop running until you get airborn
