  1. favourite Zappa tune have to be Joes Garage Why Does it Hurt when I Pee Don't Eat the Yellow Snow growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  2. The St. Catherines Parachute club was founded in 1948 by Glenn Masterson and continued until 1998 when Mike and Tara Pitt purchased the property and it still continues as Skydive Burnaby. I think this is the oldest. Willy growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  3. It's been all over my FB about Dave Brown ( the Canadian freeflyr) gone missing in Moab. Has anyone from there heard any more. Hope he turns up safe. He's one of the good ones. Willy growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.

  5. maybe your head is swelling from all the tunnel flying. Try soaking your head in icewater for a couple of hours. Willy growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  6. It's my birthday so I'm gonna skydive and party
  7. I've taken it and found it to be some of the best instruction and insight on canopy flight you can get anywhere. Yes there is a big part dedicated to the mental process of flying a canopy, but flying a canopy is a big mental process. Totally worth the cost of the course.
  8. WOW, there are actually people that believe this shit. growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  9. Welcome to the sky. We have all been where you are. Signing up for a canopy course is a great idea. I would strongly recommend getting hold of a copy of "The Parachute and it's Pilot" by Brian Germain and reading it 3 or 4 times. Lots of great information that all skydivers should know.

  11. Canada, 6 months growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  12. I know a number of guys that call Voltige home and I would not have any reservations about sending my gear to them for inspection. I don't know Mario ( one of the owners) but I do know Philip Thibodeau. He is one of their instructors and a hell of a freeflyr. Willy growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  13. for people that have a track record of drunk driving convictions, sure make that mandatory. But I would never buy such a car. By making these mandatory in all cars is basically telling people you are all guilty and incompetent drivers who have no self control. A little too big brother for me.

  14. Here's one of mine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DUoldLCARA growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  15. Good luck with that. I would venture to say that you couldn't find even one DZ that would even consider it. Willy growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  16. One of my best sky buds had that surgery in Dec. and he's making a great recovery. He'll be back in the air this spring. He got the pig valve instead of the mechanical valve.( no blood thinners) Good luck. Blue skies, Willy growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  17. If you live close to a wind tunnel it would be a great idea to do some flying there with a coach. When you first start jumping you don't know what to expect or how to fly your body. To some people this comes quite easily and naturally. To others it is not so easy. Time in a wind tunnel will teach you how to achieve a stable arch and to maneuver where you want in a low stress environment. Then when you get back in the air you will have a lot more confidence and be more relaxed. Good luck, welcome to the sky, Willy growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  18. IF money is all you're interested in then get a hooker. At least then you know you're gonna get some for your $200 growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  19. Where do you think all the heroin comes from? growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.

  21. I love opening high on a cloudy day. Not solid clouds but big puffies floating around. Cloud Surfing growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  22. So, what if you want to do a fun jump and PAY for your slot. He couldn't have a problem with that. And if he did I'd tell him to go fuck his hat. Find a better place to work. Good luck, Willy growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  23. You're not being out of line. If this guy is legit and wants to sell the rig he shouldn't have a problem. You're just protecting yourself and the seller. Move on. growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  24. Ya , you need more money. try doubling what you have, then save up for beer. Have Fun.
  25. I've done quite a few hybrids as a hanger and we usually plan for the hangers and freeflyers to break at 5000' and track. The belly flyers ( usually a 4 way breaking at 4000'). this gives lots of separation. Being a hanger and dropping off at 5000' i have a good view of everyone above me and I can track away on my back keeping everyone in sight. Willy growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
