I would say to get the jumpsuit first. If you can find a used RW suit with booties, get that. It won't cost that much and it feels good to have a jumpsuit that is yours. You know that it will fit and that it isn't covered in some strangers sweat. Get the suit now and save up for the rig. If you switch disciplines down the line, you can always get a new suit, but I strongly suggest to build up RW skills before moving on to anything else.

For those of you who have left skydiving, either temporarily or for good, how did you know when it was time to stop? I've been thinking more and more about leaving the sport but am having trouble making the decision. When I am at the dropzone and jumping I have a great time, but the excitement leading up to it isn't nearly as strong. The idea of a 2 hour drive each way to the dz seems like more and more of a turn off and spending a night in the bunkhouse is less and less appealing when I could be at home in my own bed with my girlfriend. It used to be that if I went more than a couple weeks without a jump I started to feel antsy, but now I find myself going longer and longer between trips to the dz. On top of that, my girlfriend does not like that I jump. Even though I feel like I'm a safe and conservative skydiver, there is still a lot of risk and she worries. I would hate for anything to happen to me and I miss out on spending a lifetime with her, not to mention the pain that it would cause her. When I started jumping and even up until the past year I never thought that I'd ever even consider leaving this sport. It's been such a big part of my life. I've made a lot of great friends and have grown a lot as a person because of it. I still love jumping and have a lot of fun doing it, but it has slipped way down the list of important things in my life. I'm pretty close to 500 jumps and part of me is thinking that I should give myself a few days of great jumps as a send off. Another part wants to compete in at least one Nationals and thinks that I should do one more season. I don't know what I'll do or when I'll make my decision. I know that I have to decide what's best for me, but I'd like to hear your stories and reasons for leaving and even reasons you've stayed if you ever faced this decision.

Maintain eye contact with your clone in the formation. If you keep eye contact, you will constantly be making small corrections to match fall rate and you wont stop doing that when you release a grip. I've caught myself a bunch of times losing eye contact and starting to sink out or get floaty. As soon as I reestablish good eye contact, everything starts working again. Fly your slot, not the grip.

Definition of mimosa from Wiki A Mimosa is a cocktail-like drink composed of one part champagne (or other sparkling wine) and one part thoroughly chilled citrus fruit juice, usually orange juice unless otherwise specified (e.g. "grapefruit [juice] mimosa"). It is traditionally served in a tall champagne flute with a morning brunch as hair of the dog or to guests at weddings.[1] Hair of the Dog? If THAT is hair of the dog, that dude has some femininity issues unresolved. See what I mean? A man secure in his masculinity wouldn't care about fruity drinks, little dogs or riding a scooter instead of a big hog around the island. I love my little dog.

I'm not surprised by the sign. Even though the Chargers finished with a better record, I had a feeling that you would add something like that. It also looks like the Packers got off to a great start this year. Looks like they still have golf on their minds and want the lowest score.

My girlfriend and I are going to be spending a weekend in Portland soon and are looking for ideas of things to do. We are going up to visit her brother, who has only lived there for a few weeks and knowing the three of us, if we don't have some ideas beforehand there will be a lot of sitting around trying to figure out what to do. So what are some fun things to do or cool things to see or good places to eat/drink? "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery
