PLFXpert 0 #26 April 2, 2001 Hi Tracy, nice to meet you! So you're into skysurfing, huh? That is why I originally began skydiving sort of. I'm a 20 year old (not too far from being 21, thank God) wakeboarder/surfer chick from Orlando, Florida and I started skydiving last summer b/c I'm into extreme boardsports and wanted to learn to skysurf. That is, before I knew there was SO much more you can do in the sky than just that (when I was a whuffo, I though you either just fell straight down on your belly or you skysurfed.) I still would like to get into skysurfing but I've fallen in love with freeflying. I have 50 jumps (done in my first 3 months off AFF), quite a bit of *tunnel time* (the tunnel is AWESOME) and have only jumped a few times in the last 4 months although have still been at the DZ quite often, I've been out of work and haven't had any money to even feed myself but luckily, swim season starts TODAY so as of today, I'm back at the job, swim coaching, making that good money again and will be back in the sky every weekend starting in 2 weeks and also, thank goodness that now my swim company employs year around so I won't have to ever take a weekend off from skydiving again, I hopeSkydiving has changed my life and now it's all I think about and want to do in my life. It's really nice to hear from you. Hope to run into you some time soon!Much love and blue skies,Carrie http://www.geocities.com/skydivegrl20/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krishan 0 #27 April 2, 2001 What's up Monk. You have been scarce lately. What's up with that? Hey what kind of planes do you fly? I'm a pilot too, and I think it would be sooo cool to fly straight from PHX to ELOY.I'll for sure get in touch with you next time I head down there. I'm from NM by the way.Anyway,Later.Krishan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miked10270 0 #29 April 2, 2001 Hi,I am Iona,mike's "carer"! I am the one who keeps him sane or comatosed when the need arises,although I feel that the"socialised medication" does not pay me the danger money that I deserve!!!!.I hope to do AFF in the summer,but Mike will not be packing my canopy unless I take him off his medication which would be a mistake as he starts to talk about"Lebensfraum",which is german for livingspace,but he gets that when I give him his medication.Just before I go this one made me laugh.Mike decided to have a sleep while I was playing with our kids,Timothy our youngest,who by the way will be 1 tomorrow yee-ha!,saw that his dad was lying down,and decided that it was playtime with daddy.He crawled over to where Mike was and lifted his hand to the cries of "dad boo",when dad just ignored him he shouted it again until he woke up.Smart cookie!!!!!!!!Bye for nowIona xxxxxxxxxx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BFK 0 #30 April 3, 2001 Whats up skydognz!I spent 3 months in your country and 3 weeks in OZ back in your summer time. What a fantastic place New Zealand is. My fiancee and I would love to go back and work there, but it is hard for a Yankee to get a good job there. Something about keeping New Zealand for the New Zealanders. But who the hell can blame you. If I was from there I wouldn't want any Damn yankees coming over and mucking everything up.My favorite spot was Abel Tasman National park. Green forest, golden beaches, blue water...utter paradise.I'll tell you what, you get me a good job over there in NZ and I'll give you 10% of my income.New Zealand is Eden.Brad Koch (temporarily trapped in California) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freaksister 0 #34 April 3, 2001 First of all, its a SHE not a HE, and she said she is trying. Poor FFF #1, giving himself a hernia just thinking about it!! I do understand though, if someone had grabbed freaksister's handle, who knows what would have happened? The whips would come out and...where is that paddle? Oh, there it is.......................Now, off you go to the basement!Oh yeah, almost forgot! Welcome Tracy...don't fret, this name thing will work out. You probably know who I am but I haven't posted much this week...so just to let ya know, I am crazy. I skydive when the weather is good, and although the "freak" part of "freaksister" is really supposed to mean "skydiver/freeflyer" in my case it covers a LOT of other bases!! So there's my introduction to you, welcome home!Sis"What we're all really seeking is something where we can feel the rapture of being alive."J.Campbell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TripleF 0 #35 April 3, 2001 Sis,If Tracy is a SHE, and SHE is gonna' use my name -- SHE damn well better marry me...(whoops, don't know if I am ready for that)...FFF(woo, don't know if the world is ready for that, either) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deus 0 #36 April 3, 2001 Hi Stacy!!!I haven't been able to dive since September, but I can't wait to get back into it again. I did 3 dives in September, all at CrossKeys, and was immediately addicted. I was just reading through all these postings, gearing up to start my aff again, and I read your post. How did you get so many jumps in less than 10 months? I'm really interested, because when I get back to it, I want to jump as much as possible.

skreamer 1 #41 April 5, 2001 Yes, let's not scare her away dammit!I think you should apologize to her FFF, it's not like you to hold a grudge against a lady.. (as opposed to what you normally hold against a lady that is)/s[drop till you party!](hee hee, now I can just see FFF firing up in a HUGE indignant huff, better check my Private for some incoming abuse...)

Indignantly.FFF Triple FFreefallfreak Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yooper 0 #46 April 6, 2001 TripleF, Sorry about the name situation. I neglected to read the rest of the posts before I replied. I hope you get your name back, without resorting to marriage. Peace.Blue Skies,Chad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
froggie 0 #47 April 6, 2001 tracy, once again. welcome. im sorry that things havent been as light hearted or as kind around here as they normally are. Jim riley has been FFF, tripleF and freefall freak for a long time now.. there was a situation where he didnt really claim the name when the new site came around. he wasnt even around much when that happened. what im saying is, can you please change your name? I think that its only fair. If you read the old threads you would see that we had discussions on keeping our screen names. Its just a matter of respect. If you dont know how to change your name then just drop sangiro an email. his email address is Sangiro at dropzone dot com. he can help you with any problems you have w/ changing it. Thanks for understanding, and letting FFF get some rest.. hes been a bit worked up over loosing his handle. kelly ps- if you need help choosing a new name, just ask us. we can make up a poll or something. any names you might want to throw around? ill make the post for you.
