thomas_crowe 0 #27 December 17, 2014 QuoteI would like to organize a ton way ( 10 everybody on it 200 lbs without gear) that actually worked. I've been on 5 or 6 attempts and we've never been able to complete it either a base funneled or somebody was out Let's plan it!! I've been focusing a lot of attention lately on successfully launching formations out the door. With that and, hopefully 30 minutes of tunnel time over christmas, I should be in great shape (round is a shape, right?) to participate.Thomas Crowe, NRP Nationally Registered Paramedic Red Hat Linux Geek Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keithbar 1 #28 December 17, 2014 I'm all for it .on the face of it it doesn't seem that difficult its just a 10 way belly right ? But in practice it hasn't worked out to be that simple i have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response. Naw I wasn't low I'm just such a big guy I look closer than I really am .

jimmytavino 16 #29 December 18, 2014 hahahah!!... be careful what you wish For Thomas !!!!!! i ain't as young & spry , as i once was>>> ( they tell me i'm " over the hill " but i can't seem to remember EVER being on TOP !!! .. ) I've done a few "quarter TON 2 ways " a couple of Big guys WITH gear....If the fallrate is Good... we often surprise ourselves. Yes, keithbar, the right mix of personnel, in the correct slots, and with some patience and diligence,, should be able to build, just fine... We used to host a CASA boogie every summer and had some great raft jumps, in years past..Planning, practice, and a dose of good luck.... Fun for all and eventual retrieval of the raft... always good to have some goals in mind for both "normal skydives " and for "creative skydives"... best if you can do BOTH!!!

keithbar 1 #30 December 18, 2014 hell. if we have the right guys we ought to be able to chunk an 8 way off a otter. 2 late divers build that shit on the hill but it's all about having that right 10 people i have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response. Naw I wasn't low I'm just such a big guy I look closer than I really am . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick 67 #31 December 18, 2014 thomas_crowe Hell yeah! I'm bringing several smaller rafts, then when we have a large enough pool, I've got a pretty damn big one that we can launch. As long as you (the global "you", not you personally) can be safe on the jump, you're welcome! hell yeah I am a Hellfish and a Muff Brother I have been trained well in raft fu You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!

Ever wonder why big boy ways haven't worked before? It's like bowling balls drifting all over the place relative to each other.

jimmytavino 16 #36 December 18, 2014 Good to see the brainstorming has begun !! hahaha. Good point BillyV about that exit,, not to mention "aft of center " concerns at climb out. NOW,,,,Since i have already "been chunked " waaay tooo many times in the past, ( please don't ask about that CASA exit where i truly was " the innocent victim " ),,, i will happily consider watching from above, and/or chasing it.. cameras operative !!!. WHEN it builds, if altitude, conditions, and awareness allow for it....maybe i can dock, WHERE it was dirt-dived, that i'll dock... Would NOT ever dock on a raft, from any camera slot.. IF everyone has stayed WITH the raft and there is No one still OUT..or "unaccounted for " i might get close.... but would never touch anything. " THEY ain't gonna Blame ME !!!

thomas_crowe 0 #37 December 22, 2014 Hey guys and gals, I'm helping Chris out with the Charity Raffle fundraiser again this year. If you have any manufacture or vendor connections that I can harass, errr politely request, for stuff to put into the raffle I would appreciate their contact info. There's more than just hitting them up for swag that I would like to talk to them about too. Feel free to PM me, or email if it's easier. tcrowe@redhat.com is my work email, but the one I will be using most. In all seriousness though, all communication with them will be polite, professional, and not harassing in any way. Thanks everyone;Thomas Crowe, NRP Nationally Registered Paramedic Red Hat Linux Geek Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CSpenceFLY 1 #41 January 5, 2015 Helicopter is confirmed. Details on how we plan to run manifest for the chopper to come. Because of the issues we have had with having a helicopter sitting on the ground when there are 100 tickets out I am leaning toward assigning load numbers to the tickets. Post up if you plan to jump the chopper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanopyConductor 0 #48 January 13, 2015 Lol. Beer is taken pretty seriously. My cousin is a Brewmaster in Austin, so I'm bringing a bunch of his White Rabbit (http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/10284/100701/). I'll stop and get some GA brews and boiled peanuts too, though. If anyone in TX needs a ride, lemme know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
