  1. Sneak out by yourself .... shhhhh .....and get a tandem jump first. Don't drag, or even ask, your friends or family to come with you. Sneak out for yourself (it's your dream). No more Wuffo. Then become a tunnel rat. Have fun. Life is short ... jump often.
  2. A borrowed GTI .... thanks Pete ..... you too Ed. Life is short ... jump often.
  3. "Best" tends to come down to looks, comfort, resale value, the company's service reputation, and bells & whistles. And of course ..... price Life is short ... jump often.
  4. After your jump day, bust out an ice cold twelve pack of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, then politely ask if anyone can sign a page or two in your log book .... Life is short ... jump often.
  5. As it was only held by the elastic stow, it probably would have given way, and he may have noticed. When I give a tug test, I also look down at the buckle for proper routing. Seems in my opinion, even after the fix it was still too loose. No freeflying there I hope. Life is short ... jump often.
  6. Trolls on this site are people who create static on known subjects ( example, use of cameras ), trying intentionally, to create an ongoing argument. YOU ARE A TROLL. Life is short ... jump often.
  7. 6, 3, 2....... 6 is a heads-up for freeflying or tandem videos. Life is short ... jump often.
  8. First was around 1500, there I was spinning on my back thinking ..... finally. Cut away with no issues, no panic, just the thought of finally. Next with in 50 jumps or so. Both work video jumps. Both packers. Life is short ... jump often.
  9. I like your freefall picture. I can see the fighter pilot in your eyes .... no fear. One thing though ... you'll never get your canopy to barrel roll ....... Life is short ... jump often.
  10. You should clear many times on the way to altitude and again many times "during" freefall. It's easy. When you swallow, can you hear a crackling in your ears ? That's going to clear them. You should be able to make the crackling noise by moving the muscles near your ears, without swallowing. If I can do it, you can do it. Jumping with nasal blockage, or a cold is never recommended. Life is short ... jump often.
  11. On a budget ? Run thru the classifieds at the top of this page, in dark blue. Click classifieds, then click on helmets. Life is short ... jump often.
  12. The Lodi Parachute Center ( in Acampo, CA ) is open every day. Happy New Year. Life is short ... jump often.
  13. You forgot to put Skydive Sacramento on your list. Jumping at the Lincoln Regional Airport. Closed Monday and Tuesday. Life is short ... jump often.
  14. Give him your password, then he can post ......... and congratulations ( if you said yes )
  15. Well it's about f#!%&^'n time ...... Life is short ... jump often.
  16. Agreed .... It is a chant ... Him, Him, Fuck Him ......or of course ... Her, Her, Fuck Her....... Always a chant of respect for our friends. Life is short ... jump often.
  17. Go see Cal, Go see Cal, Go see Cal ............. Life is short ... jump often.
  18. One side at a time. It will not be the same on both sides after a cut-away. Always do a complete line check on both sides anytime you re-connect a 3 ring system, then check it again. Life is short ... jump often.
  19. In the not-too-distant past... maybe 3 months ago... you stopped by our DZ and you didn't like our WS rules. One of the most basic rules: You must have a log book. You were made aware of these rules before you even drove to our DZ, but you didn't produce a log book. We also require personal approval from the DZO. He asks you some questions, checks you out to make him confident you won't wreck the airplane, etc. Our DZO was out of town that day. You filmed a video on your way home, saying you'd been wrongly discriminated against as a wingsuiter, and you shared that with FB. Because you had been made aware of these rules before you came here, and you didn't bother to schedule an appointment with the DZO or bring a log book, I don't believe a word you're saying about trying to convince Lodi to use strict rules. Maybe if you had a USPA license with WS license/rating/whatever listed in plain view, manifest attendants everywhere would be able to give you a thumbs-up, knowing that you were ready to fly at their DZ. At this point, however, all DZ's must create their own hoops for WS'ers to jump through, or create walls that WS'ers can't go through in order to satisfy their concerns. I hope that works for you. Eventually you may run out of new playgrounds, unless some quality WS training gets standardized and broadly accepted by DZOs. In USA the only way I'd expect that broad acceptance would be as part of the USPA licensing system.Quote I know Medusa .... A Wingsuit Guru .... would be too modest to post his vid, so I will.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeuLK7dZgJI ... Enjoy Life is short ... jump often.

  23. QuoteWhen I was a kid, a long time ago, I used to buy the two cent Reeses Peanut Butter Cups ....... I was hoping they might come back some day .....but not without pennies for change from a Nickel ...... Life is short ... jump often.
  24. That's a long and familiar list. Did you see Tom Cruise as the mystery baby in "The Hangover" poster ? Life is short ... jump often.
