  1. Well well well, guys I think we have her right where we want her..... threat or promise???
  2. Oh where your at your might be needing some extra body heat real quick if not already... I was there in October and it was just starting. Not looking forward to the trip back in Jan-Feb, too cold for this Fl. boy. So off to the Keys I go to suck up as much warmth as I can before the cold trip!!
  3. I saw him and Elton John in 1993 it was just them two head to head pianos and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen. They are both awesome. I do agree that things can get old if heard every day over and over. But come on girl it's one of the classics. And no I am not just an old fart I saw Metallica 3 times before the drummer died, they rocked as well. Sing me a song I'm the piano man, sing me...... Hey you should check out Captain Jack by Billy, its a good one as well. Got to love the old timers, otherwise where would we be??
  4. I can't tell you the speed at which it will fall, but I can tell you that it can go through a roof of a building and that was from only 800'. It went through the roof of the bathrooms at Mike Mullins place, while someone was in there. No injuries except to the roof. Be very very careful. Have fun
  5. Does any one remember the poster that had the caption" some flights might be over booked". I believe it had 23 outside. It is buried in my parents attic. I have had it since I was a kid. Who and where was that? I am pretty sure it was Ca. just not sure.
  6. Yes this will be my first. Yes I will buy the beer, So my question is will there be packers available? I am heading out either Wednesday night or Thursday morning out of Zhills if anyone needs a ride. At this time planing on returning on Monday. Have a room at the Sombrero (two beds and a kitchen) if anyone wants to split the cost. $75.00 a day. Can't wait.
  7. Nope. Maybe you're thinking of the Springo? (Stiletto like canopy, but with a steeper flight angle)Quote Ok hep me out I saw a French man last weekend with a Fandango. Who makes it??? Oh yes PdF has very deep pockets. I believe that SD equipment is a very small part of their business. Blues
  8. I was under the understanding that they don't sell in the US due to the TSO? Not sure of the details,not able to get it or don't want to. In defense of their container, it is a well built rig with some nice features. I believe they are the ones that make the "Fandango" main canopy. Maybe not the best name for a canopy in the US market anyway??
  9. Well you know what they say... When jumpers are not jumping from a plane, they are usually jumping each other.
  10. I was wondering how to do that? Did it work? Cool.
  11. Yes, what she said! Who in their right mind would dare to disagree with Keith?? I mean have you ever seen the man?? Yes sir, Now sir, you got it sir. How's the new adventure Keith? Who new that suicide is the number one killer in the military?
  12. Chuck help me out here. If I am not mistaken the pie was originally for the 1000 mark, not the 00's. I think it has changed since the ol'e days. And yes I got overlooked for my 1000th as well.
  13. Wendy How do I register online? Do you have water gear available? I made reservations at the Coconut today!! Never been to the Keys!! [url]www.skyfestboogie.com[url]
  14. ***Our Skyvan was MUCH faster then your skyvan and it worked the entire time too...[/reply Yes Mark asked me about it the other day, and I reminded him that it was (at the time) this weekend. He said OH. If you start being nicer to me maybe I will teach you how to get those folks..... I am headed to a couple of boogies this month (Oct.) representing all three. Should be interesting. Be nice!!! You got the real SkyVan, I saw a Pic and said YES at least they could keep flying with a full load. We never broke down did we??? They just would not let us fill it...... Dave did I piss off Clint? I made a comment about his new turtle, saying that it looked liked ET, and the next thing I know the old one was back??? I need to chat with you soon Go Orange/White Blues J the evil one
  15. Oh Damn I guess its time for a name change!! I got to experience my first Eye of a hurricane. I got bored so I was hurrican dialing people at 8:00 am. Which would have been 7 their time in Dallas. I was very lucky with the Mother of all Mothers, Nature that is, she treated me well. Evil huh?? See if you do our next SCR I heard great things about the boogie.. I wish you would have or I would have been on the ball, I could have brought you PD, Sun Path and RW,. My bad though I relized it too late. freaken Aggies..... and Russians Your Bag is in Hurricane mail. I guess that makes it air mail www.skyfestboogie.com
  16. Well Brett I guess you know how I feel now about the SCSR. I guess its just our luck eh?? Can you believe it all those jumps and this is the one thats printed.
  17. I knew it was one of yall's. Hopefully they won't say it was from the Dallas boogie like Skydiving Mag did?? Did you see that in Sept. issue? Nice shot, how much are you going to donate to the Scholarship Fund for all that puplicity you are getting from us???
  18. Ok who took it? Clint was that yours???? That was one of the Raft dives at SkyFest 04 in Spaceland. I believe it was yours or Josh?? To bad it wasn't in the raft that has been to all 4 SkyFest, it says SkyFest on the front with all the previous years crossed out. Oh, well now that I think about it they probably would not have used it then. Congrats to whoever took it. When I get home I can look it up, but really curious now! http://www.uspa.org/publications/SIM/2005SIM/SIM.htm www.skyfestboogie.com
  19. Very funny shit!! That poor cat. Now thats baby's making baby's! Hey aren't you still at work???? oops, never mind, oh well it is my Friday! [/url]www.skyfestboogie.com[url]
  20. It's obviously an old picture - I don't have my still mounted, or my camera suit on - and the helmet is STILL black - I'll get an updated picture and post it later. Critics! Don't forget the bicycle with the basket
  21. [r Didn't mean to sound like I didn't like it and the helmet is cool. But wait a second isn't ET cool too?
  22. Hey Clint what happened?? Your turtle looks like a green ET?? What did you do to his neck? Did I kill it?
  23. I've got over 900 jumps on a Spectre and I stopped packing 20 years ago, so these last 900 were packed by different packers across the country. The rocking forwards and backwards once the slider is down is probably from still moving forward while dumping. When it started doing it to me it made me a little nervous, I made sure I stoped moving before I dumped and the problem went away, now I dump in a track just for fun. If I am not mistaken 2" is a little too much, I think PD allows 1.5???? Make sure your leg straps are even. Also try to relax during opening and let it do what it is designed to do. I am not saying that you are not, but just be aware. I think that most people will agree that most malfunctions are due to body position, at least with well maintained gear. Also this shouldn't be an issue with the number of jumps on it but check your slider stops. Chris what the hell do you know???/ Brazilian boy!!! www.skyfestboogie.com
