  1. There was a new record set this weekend at Skydive Burnaby in Ontario. 14 way Head Down. I was not on the record jump, but worked on the support team ( this was my first attempt at large formation record jumps and didn't expect to be on the record as there was a good group of experienced jumpers from Ont. Quebec, and New Brunswich). With organizing and video done by Steve Curtis ( he also did 2 camps with us this summer in preparation for this event) the weekend was a complete sucsess and everyone had a great time with no incidents. We all learned a lot and had a lot of fun. The old record was broken on Sat. morning with a 13 way. then again on the last jump Sunday, a 14 way. (Pics. to follow) I would like to thank Steve Curtis, DZO's Mike and Tara Pitt, the packers and all the paricipants (it was really hot and humid and they worked very hard) and the judges for all their effort and time in putting this event together. I look forward to next years event. Congrats everyone, Willy growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  2. I heard on the radio tonight coming home that Ken got his ass kicked in about 10 seconds of the first round. Didn't suprise me. Willy growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  3. I'm sorry I forgot. I pack my own and was quite busy that weekend so it slipped my mind. But after seeing you guys work all day, party all night then get up and do it all again I do apppreciate all you do for the people who use your services.

  4. Just got home and I'm happy to see you had so much fun and learned lots from Guy. I was on the record jumps and it was great to see the support team working just as hard as we were. We couldn't have got the record without the support team as some replacements were needed. It truly was a team effort and everyone on the record jumps was glad you and the rest of the team were there to cheer us on and fill in when needed. Many thanks to Guy Wright, plane captains TK Hayes, Jeff Gemmell and Bruce Robertson(right trail rocks), Mike and Tara Pitt(DZOs) who went to all the effort of putting this event together and making it the best event yet this year.It's a really cool sight to see three twin otters spinning up to pick us all up and going to 16,500' We all learned from this event and that will make it bigger and better next time. Mark, keep jumping and gaining skills and if you stay with it I'm sure you'll be on the next one. It's hard for a lot of jumpers to get to an event like this, as it's a big country and we had people from out west, out east, and all points in between. I met lots of new people and lots of people I hadn't seen since the last record in 2004. Everyone was great and a great time was had by all. Now I'm looking forward to the Canadian Head Down record attempts at the end of July. So all you Canadian free flyers come on out for a new record and a great DZ and an awesome time.

  5. Laugh at the funny sounds she was maaking Willy growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  6. SO what is the funniest prank you have played or had played on you? I was going to the DZ with my buddy and sitting in his car waiting as he grabbed the last few things. When he came out the door he hit the garage door button and walked out but he didn't realise I had the remote and when he passed under the closing door I hit the remote and the door goes up. He looks at the door, turns around goes back and hits the button again. As he passes the closing door I hit the remote, door goes up. Now he's getting confused. Two more times and he's jumping over the little light at the bottom of the door, I hit the remote, door goes up. Three more times and I'm almost pissing myself with laughter, He finally see me laughing.He felt pretty dumb. I laughed all the way to the DZ. Another time I was assembling some rack in a warehouse and we were up 45' putting beams in. I attached my helpers safety line to the rafter and lowered the lift, so he was hanging from the rafters. The look on his face as his feet came off the lift was great. Willy growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  7. There are a good portiion of the women who are the pimps and some of the guys dress like HOs Willy growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  8. AT the DZ here in Canada we have an annual PIMP and HO party. It is a blast Willy growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  9. I climbed one of the big tent poles in the party tent at Quincey WFFC in 2000. Chock that up to stupid drunk encouragement from the band. Willy growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  10. Break off altitudes were 5500, 5000, and 4500' growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  11. Lemon Head wasn't on that record. and he is married, sorry girls. Willy growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  12. I've played since I was old enough to swing a club and hit my brother in the head. Usually shot mid to high 70's. Best round was 2 under par. Still play as much as I can during the week. I jump on weekends. Willy growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  13. I have a Sam 136 ( WL 1.6) and have about 600 jumps on it. Have jumped a Vengence 107(WL 1.9) a few times. Didn't like the opening of the vengence. Not very predictable. Could be the difference in WL. Longer lines than a Sam making for a longer recovery arc. You get used to what you fly and I like having the ability to 'dig out' if needed. I love my Sam. In 600 jumps I have had line twists only a handful of times.It flew straight, kicked out, it's all good. Never had a "hard opening" Never had to cut away.( knock on wood) Can get back from long spots easy. It's very responsive and with the air locks handles tough wind conditions with only a few bumps. It also puts down some great swoops.( enough to keep my hair on end ) Brian builds some great canopies and puts on a great course to teach you how to fly them (other canopies too).

  14. Don't forget to play "name that road kill" while you're driving. It's a great way to pass the time. growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  15. Hehe, glad i could help. Ya know i once talked to Wingi on the phone while i was giving a blowjob. It's not polite to talk with your mouth full. Maybe her mouth wasn't full growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  16. It would be nice if the seats where wider. The last flight I took I had a fat woman beside me and she kept spreading under the seat arm rest. Made for a very uncomfortable trip. Willy growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  17. It's done here in Canada too. Along with a bootle to your rigger if you use their pack job before it's due for repack and the traditional pieing on your 100th jump. Any other traditions out there? Willy growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  18. The first wave will be our beer trucks. Thousands of them.( stealth trucks)( our newest weapon. don't tell anyone) Then we air drop the best Canadian buds we grow.( well maybe not the best) After a sustained attack like this which would last over a long weekend we would have sufficiently weakened your forces to the point where you would be easly overrun. All apposing troups would all be too hung over to attempt any counter attack. Then the world will be ours. (evil laugh) growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  19. NO, I won't see it. I see no point in contributing to the lining of someones pocket off the horror and tragedy of others. We all saw this play out in the media and I have no desire to pay to see it again. Willy growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  20. I,ve always wanted to be a stunt cock in one of those movies. Willy growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  21. The difference could be attributed to literacy and the percentage of the respective populations the are educated and to what extent. growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  22. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Rush - 2112 Black Sabbath - Paranoid Iron Maiden - Somewhere in Time Metallica - Black Album growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  23. And you're wondering why? growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  24. You've only seen the half pipe and boarder X. If you watch the slalom event you'll see they wear the same suits and are just a aerodynamic as the downhillers. Willy growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  25. You asked for it What do you get when you turn 2 blondes upside down? 2 Brunettes. What did the blondes mom say to her before her prom? Remember if you're not in bed by 12 come home. How do you know a blonde was on your computer? There's white out on the screen. Why did the blonde get so excited about finishing her jig saw puzzle in only six months? It said 2-4 years on the box. What's the quickest way into a blondes pants? Pick them up off the floor. Why can't blondes put in light bulbs? They keep breaking them with the hammer. A gouvernment study did find that blondes do have more fun.. They just don't remember WITH WHO!! What's the mating call of a blonde? I'm just soooooooooo drunk!!!! WHy did the blondes get fired from the M&M factory? She kept throwing away all the W's. How do you make a blondes eyes light up? Put a flashlight to her ear. What do you do if a blonde throws a pin at you? Run like hell, she has a grenade in her mouth. Why are blondes so happy? Ignorance is bliss Three blondes were walking in the forest one day when they came upon some tracks. They started arguing over what kind of tracks they were. Blonde 1: " they're deer tracks!". Blonde 2: " they're dog tracks!". Blonde 3: " they're cow tracks!". They were still arguing when the train hit them. growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
