  1. Is the DZ in Belize going to be open again this winter? I'll be in Placencia in February.
  2. 10642 on my first try. Would have been higher but I mistook Australia for Big Bend, TX
  3. Higher frame rate and it takes stills if you want that.
  4. My favorite was the Audi commercial where the kid goes to prom by himself walks up and starts making out the prom queen and then gets his ass kicked then he speeds off. #Ballsy
  5. Yeah he's jumping out at TSC just north of Raleigh and from what his AFF Instructors and ground coach say he's going do be a solid skydiver. They went with the paddles and they work great. Can't beleive other DZ's said no.
  6. Canyon Floor: Broken hip socket and scapula when i decided to go rock climbing in Taos, NM while waiting for the raft I was going whitewater rafting in to fill up. Evil Trees: I got a piece of wood the size of the top digit of my pinkie lodged in my scalp this past St. Patrick's Day when I was walking home from the pub after 8 hours of car bombs, Bodington's and jello shots. Not real sure what happened but my friends say I tried to jump a guard rail that had a 15 ft drop on the other side. I woke up laying against the tree with said stick in my head. 2 ACL tears in college playing football 1 trip the the emergency room after wrecking a kid's bmx bike and eating a rock. (alcohol involved again) 1 wicked bad friction burn from my legs straps during a speedo jump a couple of weekes ago. I could go on and on.
  7. What about the Advance magnetic D-bag? Does anyone have any experience with them. I have one waiting for me at home once I get off of this deployment with a new rig and canopy attached to it.
  8. The green is a sweet color too. They weren't making it when I got mine, but if they hadn't came out with the solid white TRD edition I would have bought another color and got it painted OD green. Post a pic of it if you can Superman.
  9. yeah we've been swimming in mud puddles here to. Sans the poo pond.
  10. Oh man you got the good bazaar and the board walk! No ripped DVD quality shit here at Lagman. Its all filmed in the theaters! I'll be at KAF in a little over a month on my way out...for good this time I hope. This country sux.
  11. Damn Broken...your bazaar doesn't have the bootleg Harry Potter yet? We got the boot leg box set here.
  12. I have a 2008 TRD Trail Team Edition FJ and I love it! The trail team edition is the solid white one with black wheels, TRD exhaust and bilstein shocks. I added performance headers and cold air intake to it a little while after I got it. It loves to drink gas, but its a great truck, I have never gotten it stuck off road and I have had it in the rocks and hills of NM, red mud in Georgia, and the beaches of the Outer Banks. The blind spots suck, but you will figure that out on a test drive and decide if you can handle them or not. Its also built like a brick shit house structurally. I got rear ended by a car doing 55 while I was almost at a stop. It destroyed the Malibu and just broke the plastic on my rear bumper and dented 1 rear quarter panel. I could go on and on about it but I think you can see what I think. If you have any specific questions let me know.
  13. I know they had worked something out with the airport to where people could set up on the other side of the road from the airport. They gave it a trial run for their 4th of July boogie and I think it all went well. I would call Greg the DZO and ask him but I am pretty sure they have some space to camp in now.
  14. Triangle Skydiving Center in Louisburg, NC (30 minutes norht of Raleigh) is having a Thanksgiving boogie. I know they are jumping Friday-Sunday and if they get enough people they will jump Thursday as well. They will have either a CASA or a Caribou. Its my home DZ wish I was going to be there but I'll still be in the 'stan. If you are from Harrisonburg its about 3.5 hours away. I know the drive very well, I usually have duty in Staunton.
  15. RIP brother. We all RP some time. Some patrols are just shorter than others.

    RW Suit

    I placed my order with Deepseed back in September and the lead time was 4 weeks. They shipped it a week ahead of schedule and this was after having to re-check my measurements twice. And I'm glad they did by the way. Then when it was delivered my apartment complex didn't tell me that I had received the package. I was starting to wonder where it was. I asked the folks at Deepseed to see if they could help track it down. They responded to my email immediately and I found. I won't actually get to lay hands on the suit until January when I get back from Afghanistan, but from the pictures it looks like a kick ass suit! I have no doubt that it will be. I'll make sure to post another review once I get home and put it in the air. I would definitely recommend these guys if you are looking for a new suit. A 4 week lead time and you can put a rush on it for a nominal fee. Great friendly customer service and a sharp looking suit that not too many people are rockin' right now (at my DZ at least) make them worth the look.
  17. I think TCU is a good pick up, BYU could have potential, I would think they would look to Houston and should look to Boise State. But its really more about money at this point than quality so everyone else's guess is as good as mine.
  18. We are really good people, but alcohol is a hell of a drug. Its a lot of fun being the worst fans sometimes. No sticks up our asses, no holier than thou's, just overboard on the fun.
  19. Yes. I killed quite a few brain cells while going to Texas Tech. Yeah not too many Tech games on AFN.
  20. Dude you don't have to remind me. They are all drunk. But thanks for the play by play. ESPN.com is running slow for me this morning.
  21. I can't vouch for our class as fans. We are pretty shameless. But I love how we always save the worst shit (pun intended) for A&M. Targets of opportunity...
  22. Texas is that bad! I love Saturday's when the Longhorn nation is not afforded the opportunity to play that stupid "I've been working on the railroad" song. Now if Texas Tech can wreck the Aggies it will be a great Saturday! Wreck 'em!
  23. The SUUNTO X10M reads out in 10 digit MGRS grids. The only drawback is that it will chew through batteries when left in GPS mode. Just like my X-Lander does when I leave the altimeter up on it.
  24. Suunto makes a pretty good one. Its not as bulky as the Garmins, but you will pay more for it as well. Alot of us here in Afghanistan like them. But Garmin is good also.
