  1. I'd hope they are still in business. I just ordered one from ChutingStar and Mike said it's been set aside until he can ship my canopies, so they are available still. I'll be whatever I want to do!
  2. Ok, I've seen a lot of sexy rigs in this thread, but I'm still coming up short. I just ordered an Aerodyne Pilot in "Margarita Green" and "Carbon", and I can't think of a good looking way to make that color scheme. If anyone feels so inclined, I'd be open to suggestions on Infinity designs. I'm thinking green, gray, and black overall but that's not important. I'll be whatever I want to do!
  3. In reading a lot of the scams/potential scams happening here, it seems to me that they pretty much give themselves away. The whole "I have to fly to Europe/London and I'll be taking the rig with me," thing line is pretty standard. Not saying that it wouldn't ever be the case with a legitimate seller, but how many people are selling rigs right as they need to fly to Europe? I'll be whatever I want to do!
  4. If I celebrate Valentine's day, the only thing I expect is for her to celebrate March 14th - "Steak and a blowjob" day. I'll be whatever I want to do!
  5. Sorry. It was just supposed to be a silly little connection between the last name Whyte and the defense of being allowed to be in the Aryan nation. I wasn't saying you were wrong at all. I'll be whatever I want to do!
  6. Is it against the law to be part of the Aryan Nation? Is this on purpose? Irony anyone? (Just kidding. If nobody else picks up on this I'm going to feel like an ass) I'll be whatever I want to do!
  7. Really late into the game with nothing significant to add, but I must inject "Godwin's Law". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law I'll be whatever I want to do!
  8. They'll probably support him until the BushHaterbots stop sucking Obama's dick. Does everyone that has ever liked even one thing Bush has done make them a crazy christian right wingnut? No. I'm not the most learned person in the world, but it seems to me that when a lot of people start talking shit on Bush, they usually back it up with, "Well, he's an asshole." They then turn around and vehemently support Mr. Obama who promises "change" and isn't a crusty old white guy without giving specific reasons. Now I don't know everything about what Mr. Obama stands for, but besides all of the fellatio given to him by the media, I can't really find any reason to think he'll be a good president. I'm quite scared. I'm a gun owner and a member of the armed forces so go ahead and make your judgments about me (because god knows I made them about you). I'll be whatever I want to do!
  9. Congrats! I also bought an rifle due to the incoming president. I'm just waiting on the backordered Bushmaster barrel. I have an extra upper and lower receiver, but those are both going to a fellow soldier, otherwise, I'd help the less-fortunate. Anyways, have fun with it and fuck the haters. I'll be whatever I want to do!
  10. Anyone here have a Cookie ROK helmet? The look like they might be good. I'll be whatever I want to do!
  11. canadian whiskey. R&R, unfortunately. I wish it was Crown Royal. In Iraq, our interpreters got us "The Claymore" Scotch whiskey. I thought the name was appropriate for the Army. I'll be whatever I want to do!
  12. This is my eighth post so I might as well make it part of your conversation. Hooray. I'll be whatever I want to do!
  13. This makes me sad. I'll be de-mobing in Ft. Bragg right about that time, but I'm a lowly student already on orders. I'm double unlucky. Maybe I'll get to go hang out though... I'll be whatever I want to do!
  14. OK, I've searched DZ.com and the RWS site, and I still have a question... Can the Skyhook be unhooked easily like an RSL can? Also, I would like opinions on whether or not it is worth the money to get on a new rig. It seems pretty high-speed and I don't see anything that would suggest otherwise beside the price. Thanks. I'll be whatever I want to do!
  15. "Pull here to buy your rigger a beer." Just the first thing I thought of. I'll be whatever I want to do!
  16. Right now I'm having a bit of a spinning problem. I think I'm dropping my right knee (I spin to the left). It's been a few jumps so far and I just haven't been able to figure it out exactly. The thing is I feel completely comfortable with every part of the jump and it all feels natural. So once I figure out my spin I think I'll be good to go. I'll be whatever I want to do!

    Gear choices

    Thanks for all your suggestions. It'll definitely be a while before I actually decide on anything, so hopefully by the time I do decide I'll know exactly what I want. Blue skies, Josh I'll be whatever I want to do!

    Gear choices

    Hey, thanks for the response. The audible altimeter is on the list of things to buy for sure. Is there a particular model that anyone is fond of? As for the container, I guess I just figured that some equipment might be better suited for the different airflows and higher speeds. I'll be whatever I want to do!

    Gear choices

    Hello everyone. I'm fairly new to skydiving (14 jumps) but thanks to spending time in Iraq, I'm looking forward to buying a new rig for myself when I'm back. I'm not at the skill level yet, but I absolutely cannot wait until I break into the world of freeflying. Most of my skydiving thoughts/dreams have to do with it. That being said, I have been researching gear quite a bit and have some good ideas of what I want. I plan to be in touch with the folks at my local dropzone about gear selection. I'm not buying anything right now without asking for as many professional opinions as I can get. I just want your opinions on the best gear that will suit me well for freeflying as well as plain-ole belly down jumps. But one of my biggest concerns right now I think will be best addressed by you all. Mainly I'm concerned with what container would be best for freeflying. I'm looking at a Javelin Odyssey or an Aerodyne Icon. Other containers aren't out of the question, but these two are keeping my attention. Besides containers, are there any other pieces of equipment that should be considered carefully for freeflying? Sorry for being long-winded and probably incoherent. Thanks for helping! I'll be whatever I want to do!
