Know the name, but don't think I ever met him. Anyone that did / does CReW rocks! Craig

Bummmmmmmmed. Just found out that Mark was a dead guy. So many good times with him at small Ohio DZ's in the early 80's. Here's Mark at his finest Circa 1983. Canton Airsports, Canton Ohio I made them move off my jumpsuit before it got messy Mark Vickers Circa 1983.pdf

Not going to read the posts, but I think; The "rig" is a wonderhog II, circa 1980, I had a very similar one. It worked, love the plastic / nylon? reserve handle........... The "main" is likely a paraflight cloud XL based on the vents in the underside. Zero value to me, probably not much value to most.

Thanks for the info

Interesting reading thru this old thread. The posts from 2006 were much more interesting than the recent additions IMO. I wonder how many of those from 2006 are active / current / alive? Craig

You are prescient, fast forward to the "dumbass" who bounced at Perris in 2019 when he jumped a base rig from balloon with the wrong slider configuration. Though he didn't screw up skydiving, he screwed up jumping out of balloon's with base gear from that specific balloon vendor.

Had so much fun going to multiple ghoulidge boogies. DC4 - landing out and having to cross 2X drainage channels co-ed showers fun jumps good friends thanks for the memories

I'd also like to know. I tried to buy a gift subscription = no dice. I emailed the people on the "masthead" = no dice phone number?
-
True, I haven't been reading as carefully as I used to, but I don't remember seeing anything printed recently / for some time. Did they stop this practice? Craig

this is the BEST reply

I've been jumping since 1981. I've NEVER tried to talk someone into jumping. Seems like a bad plan

Is it normal for AFF students to not care?
kleggo replied to Gators1240's topic in Safety and Training
At least he asked. -
thanks for the trip down memory lane. and I agree "Also, a 'first jump' in '02 is not consistent with licenses issued in '59-'61.".
-
Yup. Saw that. Thanks
-
Sounds like fun. I rode by there last night ~ 6:30 and wondered if they were open / running
-
waited 6 years only to realize.

Easily ruined my week Waah. If anyone knows of a way I could still skydive in texas please share any info. Make a lot of money. But your own plane and equipment. Have at it. Probably good to hire a few instructors also to hold you stable. -
I don't think they have released a podcast since April 2020. Dave doesn't reply to my texts. Does anyone know if they are OK? Craig
-
Since I know nothing about you or your skills / capabilities, I recommend that you contact Mike S @ Squirrel and discuss with him. He knows more about the suit than anyone that will reply here.

Nearly 3 years ago Tony D was on Skydive Radio or some other podcast touting a new version of the helmet was coming out. 3 years, that's a long development time.

Those people are ignorant of the science of epidemiology. They should visit a hospital in Manhattan NY to see if it is "not a threat at all". Ignorance is NOT bliss. Craig I'm going for a bike ride

"However, they did say that you will be taught many skills that would be useful in CRW right up to (but not including) the actual dock." Sounds like a GREAT way to separate you from your $$$ with little benefit. Much better to spend the time / money going to a CReW camp somewhere.

I'm still jumping, but not from planes. Too many people.

Weird to add? Yes.
