  1. Great to see your name on posts - Michelle and I are going to try to be up there this weekend! Happy Birthday Todd Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  2. I took the class with Scott Miller in Deland--it is definitely worth the money! Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  3. What do I do with all the left over parts?!? Just kiddin' , but it's a great idea for a rainy day... Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  4. My wife and I went to canopy school with Scott Miller from PD. The one thing that helped me the most was standing on top of the second floor of the building and looking out off the deck--it was at about 15 feet. It gave me a good visual point of reference. Hope you find yours!
  5. Greetings from sunny Florida Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  6. I've got the older style as well (outside pocket) and thought it was better...until I couldn't hear the ProTrack go off in a head down-saving my money for a new style Optik or Mindwarp
  7. OK-here's mine... Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  8. I just got a copy of "Reaper Cam"-although it was sold for entertainment/profit, it gave me a clear picture of why I don't want to be an AFF instructor...don't know if there were any fatalities, but lots of close calls!

  9. Mine works for Sunpath in various capacities, but I always wondered: If you are your own rigger, doesn't that remove the "cross check" by another person from the equation? We all have those moments when... Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  10. I also went straight into AFF... I spoke with the ST&A at Z-hills; they stopped doing the tandem progression because they didn't see a significant improvement of canopy skills from it... Anyone else agree with that viewpoint? Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  11. Maybe the PC needs an upgrade with the "type what I meant to say" option Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  12. Would that be beer I smell? I'll be in z-hills on the 18th for the pylon races...see ya there! Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  13. My III has been great-had a II stop at 6000 on one of my AFF jumps (I was aware enough to still pull close to 4500 as planned). Got the titanium option-looks and wears nice, but I'm not sure if it was worth the extra $$$. Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  14. I liked the 170 I demoed-I was at about a 1.1:1 and had been jumping mostly Sabers & Spectres. My only complaint was end cell closures-most likely due to the light loading (don't worry, you can clear them with a deep, gentle flare). Enjoy & remember: Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  15. I actually was able to work on a daffy head down in Orlando, but it's really hard to do a normal sit-fly. RW and camera suit was the bomb for getting everything worked out! Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  16. That would have been great for my first 70 jumps-thought I was always going to be the one buying the beer! Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  17. Three demos of reserves as mains-so, it's "other" for me. Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  18. Neither will your credit rating Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  19. Anyone seen the new "Reaper Cam" video? Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  20. As we were getting ready to board the plane, this tandem got off and all he kept saying was, "You people are f*@kin' crazy!", over and over. Expensive plane ride with buying video too! Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  21. And you even managed to smile for the picture Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  22. I jump at Z-hills; so, I've spoken with several of Sunpath's staff. They have addressed most of the quality issues (part of the reason for the size code changes) and are always trying to improve the designs. IMHO my Odyssey is well made-I had to wait an extra week because Sunpath rejected a shipment of "cosmetically inferior" webbing; they care about what they are doing. Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  23. Interesting matchup on the numbers for the A to D...maybe adding an E to the USPA would remove the negative vibe from the changes, but allow better classification for activities-who knows. Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  24. Speaking of voting...do you think we will be able to vote online in the next election? Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions. Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  25. Me too-I demoed a 143 and then a 126. I had so much fun under the 126, it put my feet to sleep! Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
