I was told that the local fire department paints “kills” on their rolling equipment depicting dead skydivers, adding one each time someone there goes in. What about all of the drunk driver victims, train wrecks. smoke inhalation deaths. The bulk of their business. What is their paint tag? I'm guessing its a tale.

Sorry Brian my bad numerical placement, I've been informed, The list counts down from 10 to 1 I did it wrong they tell me. I wasn't even sure you were there this year as I was not. Your entry is strictly fluff to make the list 10 big, I was reaching. I could have easily picked on PM but I also own one purple suit so I declined. The economy is actually so bad I could have entered it twice..... or entered it it for the first 6 entries. Not to suggest you are less scary than the economy.

Come on guys doesn't anybody skydive just for fun anymore? Don't stress the pictures, the record. Its all about the fun.

You are taking this too serious buckwheat. You are not enjoying the ride.....thats a shame cuz thats what Jari told us to do in the beginning.

Yuri there is too many reasons not just one why attendance was down for this you can't have all of the credit. So in the spirit of lists we'll do it in a humorous Dave Letterman style. TOP 10 reasons you weren't at the wingsuit big way 1 Lurch, that is a scary name come on. Last year he was running around with a surgical mask on, nuff said. 2 You didn't like the boogie t-shirt. 3 You hate Starbucks coffee, more of a Peet's person. 4 Yuri's mathematics about flocking are starting to make sense. ( seek help) 5 If the formation inadvertentley flew through a cloud and the video was posted on you tube that is it ! You are all going to FAA jail right now! Who want's that? 6 Your cypres is out for testing and damn it you better have one for this event. 7 You were coming but changed your mind when Douglas showed up. 8 The economy, seriously its not a joke! You guys too busy jumping to watch CNN or what? Rich bastards! 9 Since when is getting too high to register exclusively a free flyer thing? Humans have been getting high before the ancient egyptians ( who looked like they'd be pretty good at a head down daffy by the hyrogliphs, but regardless) And finaly 10 Four simultaneous plane loads without a single tandem to fly-by...... whats the fuckin point of that? This list is strictly for the sake of a little humor no need to start a food fight at the El Torito guys.

I was going to send in the registration..........but then I got high.

I guess we'll see a bunch of big way events organized next year, then.

I'm going to buy the one that looks like Oprah ........ and beat the shit out of that doll.

You don't even need YouTube videos ... I'm just saying this wingsuit stuff is wahhaaay easy! Even a caveman could do it. I never got all that instructor hullabaloo. And they are out proving my point right now!

Modern cars weigh a lot what is the weight of a Miata donor compared to a kit cobra? I love the concept.

Hey Yuri sing the Kazakstan national anthem again I love it when you do it!

See I've been telling all you biotches for years why do we need instructors! Why the hell do we need USPA bonifide instructors. You just need a manual, a you tube video and a properly fitted suit = badda bing! Its just fucken tracking fucckaz. Don't they teach that in a AFF level something or other?

Does a Ducati or a Buell with race pipes count as faggy?

Sheep are sheep! I'm sure if Clay was still here he would tell us each one is special in it's own way. Do sheep like to be tumbled?

I'm going to make sure that this cast will hold up to abuse. I've taken the time tonight to reinforce with some extra plaster anywhere that I've noticed it's a bit thinner. I don't ever want to have to do it again. Since you have a background in composites and have had the wonderful experience of being cacooned for the cast have you given any thought about changing the process to exclude the male plug and the head cast and do the lay-ups straight off the head (hoodie) with a suitable mold release? Cons: You would have to have every flange and opening precisely built into your form. It would require extra protection for the eyes ( goggles) and a fan to keep fresh air on you during the cure. Your head would be in lay-up for a couple of hours. Thin lay-ups initially to keep the exotherm of fast hardeners to a minimum while its on your head. Pros: You streamline the process eliminating several steps. The form will be more precise, Errors will not be transferred and magnified from cast to plug to part. You will have large openings to breathe properly, wipe the nose, carefully drink something if needed. Food for thought. Edited to add- You will always have a precise mold that does not require special storage... unless you loose your head

Yeah Mel!

Gyros don't like to be tumbled on a regular basis. Caged gyros are expensive they tell me.

South west margarita: Equal parts- Tequila triple sec Sweet N sour Cranberry juice.

Nice Matt, although I was somehow hoping to see the clip where you deploy and watch the core 40 way diamond track off away from you. Those clips got quiet a few awhs during the debrief. This is not a complaint, I just know you are keeping some good stuff to yourself still.

Do you all write your name, address and phone number on your d-bag? Name, home number and email in sharpie on the D-bag lanyard. Wife called me while we were searching for the free bag, said some woman called about skydiving debris with my name an number on it in her yard. Then my wife wanted to know what the hell we were doing that the lady found three of them.

Admit it... You're just looking for a spanking... If this is what I suspect it doesn't matter which saw as long as its brand new still in the box and has never been used to cut through 25 glue-lam beams or any plumbing work.

It OK he got wingsuit instructor rating over the phone and really never did anything with it except hook up a few friends.

Could be worse. Sometimes if the jump was a group jump other skydivers might ask whose fault was it. In both cases I just say it was gravity's fault.

My friend you have enginuety.

And I've found that most Mac users have drunk the corporate Kool-Aid so much that they become incredibly smug and arrogant about their choice to use Apple products. I'll put a little perspective on this for you. Just like the loud bar drunks you can't miss in the bar you can't help but notice the Apple corporate I drunks but be aware there are plenty MAC owners that don't really care and have the view that all computers are junk and a long way from being as reliable as other electronic goodies in our lives.
