  1. I flew here for my holiday vacation from Seattle. Just found out they are closed until January. The website states winter hours fri to Monday. I just called and asked. Skydive dollar sucks!
  2. Been there! Done that! It's not so bad. You wake up and you're not in pain anymore. Changed my life! Most important thing is your re-hab. Good luck! ~M Cause they know, and so do I, The high road is hard to find A detour to your new life, Tell all of your friends goodbye
  3. I took your advice and purchased another layer of Thermals. I got a set of Under Armour "Coldgear". Pricy suckers. I hope they are worth it. ~M Cause they know, and so do I, The high road is hard to find A detour to your new life, Tell all of your friends goodbye
  4. Anyone have any experience with the Columbia Omni-Heat products? It's -22c up on top here and I'm having trouble enjoying jumping right now. I am pondering if the new Columbia Omni-Heat fleece jacket would help me out. I can wear it on the outside of my jumpsuit, but is it wind proof? Or can I wear it on the inside without bulking up and restricting my movement?

  5. My progression was a little different. I didn’t do an AFF I did a static line progression. It took me 10 times to finally get my Step-off exit. It will all come together for you! Relax. This shit is 99% mental game. ~Mikey C Cause they know, and so do I, The high road is hard to find A detour to your new life, Tell all of your friends goodbye

  9. This one kind of goes along with the wiggle toes story…. Still on student status, the 4 of us were crammed in the 182 and on the way up. I think I was doing my first 10 second delay and still very very anxious. I was the first out. After 1000 feet we took off our seat belts. I was so nervous all I could remember was my seat beat got stowed under the pilot seat. Of course the student setting behind the pilot was a woman, and a very fine woman at that. I grabbed my seat belt and without even thinking, I slid my hand right up between her legs and shoved the belt buckle under her ass. Right then, I realized what I had done and looked up at her. She was looking right back at me with one of those stone cold looks on her face. It was that moment when time stands still. I didn’t know what to say. After de-brief, I approached her and apologized for what I did. She was really cool about it and said don’t worry. Funny thing…we are very good friends today. I should ask her if she remembers when…. What did I learn…..in a cramped 182 full of students anything can happen. Cause they know, and so do I, The high road is hard to find A detour to your new life, Tell all of your friends goodbye
  10. I've learned that if your DZ has two landing areas (one for A and B and the other for C and D Licensed divers) and the two are a mile apart....Don't assume the pilot knows you are landing at the "other" field. It was a long flight back I'm glad I had a strong tail wind. Cause they know, and so do I, The high road is hard to find A detour to your new life, Tell all of your friends goodbye
  11. You can get a face mask at just about any motorcycle shop. They'll have a good selection. That's where I got mine anyway. Works great in the winter for keeping the face and neck nice and toasty.... ~M Cause they know, and so do I, The high road is hard to find A detour to your new life, Tell all of your friends goodbye
  12. Sup All, Trying to get anything on the Rage. Not much out on the net. One review here in the Gear section. Looking for reviews, opinions, experiences...... Blue Skies All ~Mikey C.

  13. Welcome! Hey we need a report out of that new tunnel in Couver called flyzone. Ever been there? ~M Cause they know, and so do I, The high road is hard to find A detour to your new life, Tell all of your friends goodbye
  14. Hi there Unfortunately, you are not going to get a one-size-fits-all jump suit. Since you are new to the sport (and I also) I would recommend an RW suit. Stick to the basics. Learn to be a great belly flyer. Learn to control your fall rate, turns, track, and learn to fly with other belly fliers. If you get an RW suit, I’d recommend getting booties, and large grippers. Zippered legs are a must have, and an inside pocket is great for securing your visa card. There is a ton of great RW suit choices out there. Ask your DZO and Instructors. They will have recommendations. Most important, get a custom made suit!! Don’t settle for the cheep alternative of getting something from the classified that doesn’t fit you. May be cheaper up front, but in the long run you’ll be much happier getting a suit made to your specification. ~M Cause they know, and so do I, The high road is hard to find A detour to your new life, Tell all of your friends goodbye
  15. I'd start by looking on Bonehead's website and go from there. Shoot them an email and ask. ~M Cause they know, and so do I, The high road is hard to find A detour to your new life, Tell all of your friends goodbye
