  8. Quoteif I keep with it 'til christmas, I can almost afford a new one!! Quote Your profile only shows 22 jumps. Whatever you do now, don't get a new rig. Save it for when you have about 400 jumps or so and know what you want to jump for a while (you'll want to downsize a little every couple hundred jumps once you get going until you hit a safe size that still puts you in your happy place). Used rigs are fine if you have a good rigger to give you advice. Good luck. ...

  9. Yes, you're crazy. In a good way. Have a BLAST! ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants
  10. I voted wrong, I assumed it was Wings and Badges, not the other stuff. I get the CrW awards as they are patches to put on the gear bag. I'd like a Millenium number sometime, but I need two other people and have to Sit WAY better than I currently do. No I'd say not into them, but no problems if others want to. I'd think that they are pretty cool for newbies. ...

  11. Does anyone have the original? I'd love a copy. The guy playing Mr. Hicks wrote that scene in college as a project. It was redone and incorporated in Fandango years later. I'm looking for the first edition. We already own a copy of Fandango. I used to have the original college project but that tape is trashed. It was fun to play them together. It's almost line for line in some areas and the airplane shots are from different angles (also Hicks is a lot younger). ...

  12. [url] http://www.hawksuits.com/index.htm Here's another one. The golden Knights had these a couple years ago. Marsha used to work with Mike Michigan and then spun off her own business locally in Wisconsin. She is fantastic and has a different cut for men vs women to flatter the different shapes. Also, the followup service is great. I think her lead time is less than a month now. Don't forget inside grippers and booties for your RW suit regardless of your vendor. (If you are buying brand new, you should just get these now as it's very hard to add them later.) ...

  13. I could have PM'd that. Sorry to the rest of you. Mandy - they can be pricey. We found someone local and got him cheaper. ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants
  14. Hi Mandy - Yeah, I was pretty much crushed to find out I couldn't keep a dog anymore. I would just close up and have a real hard time breathing - (that's right ladies, nerdy AND asthmatic). Three cat breeds to research - good luck (Devon Rex, Cornish Rex, Sphynx). The Sphynx is the hairless and pretty ugly. All the breeds are EXTREMELY social and good pets. (Also, you could research hypoallergenic). Hypo means less or little, not 'non'. I can have the cat around 100% of the time. We wash him weekly and he gets wiped down every couple days to keep the dander down. The only thing I can't do is rub my eyes after petting him. Also, I'd just as soon not have him in my room or sleep on the bed or pillows so we keep that room shut and my workout room also. good luck. ...

  15. Freeflying = evolving? I don't think so, it's more like expanding. I don't think of freeflying as something 'more evolved' or 'better', just another facet of jumping. I won't respond to any semantics arguments (even though this is one). Again, all the disciplines are fun and restricting your experience from any aspect is just taking away your abilities. Congrats to the olav types and SDC for recognizing it. Funny picture in Parachutist a couple years ago - Pip R was in a headdown doing AFF with a student (apparently, the student fell pretty fast?). A lot of people wrote in AGHAST at the sight, and "How can someone be so irresponsible" and so on. Pip is better in just about any body position than most are in their chosen field and these guys just didn't get it. he could have caught that student any time from any position. Short is, my RW is better for my freeflying and my freeflying is better for my RW (also, my Crw and swooping help each other out also). FF won't be the death, unless people keep abandoning the other disciplines for it that won't happen, we just need to make sure people are cross trained and not turned off from RW due to too expectations too soon. ...

  16. I'm a dog person but can't have one due to allergies. I grew up with pets and it was a "BIG DEAL" for me. This cat is Norbert, and doesn't make my lungs close up (special breed Devon Rex). Now my daughter has a pet like I did - (also a BIG DEAL to me). They are also good with butter and garlic. (added just in case I got too for off the macho scale in the first paragraph). ...

  17. Wonders if you can send away in the mail for an invisible silent vacuum cleaner or are these only available at invisible silent stores. If so, how would find one? That would sure be handy. ...

  18. We have one the team members at my DZ, I'll ask him next time I see him. Too bad, we were playing just yesterday and I'd forgotten about this posting. edit - I think the 4 way rotation is Quanum Leap - can't find a website. I don't know who is doing the sequential - here's an area where eventually some team will break away huge ...

  19. BC - glad to see you talking to this crowd and pumping the new tunnel in Perris. I jumped in Coolidge when you were on Coolidge Fource (Force?) and all you guys (Specially Jim H) helped us newer people tons. I'm looking forward to the new tunnel and the teaching styles at those camps. ...

  20. QuoteThanks to all for the input {{No probs - If you can borrow a booted suit, it might be fun since a coach will be around, good luck - and tell us how it went}} Anyway, he has gone over to the dark side now, {{Well, even if he's gone over to CRW ;) he can still do some RW once in a while. - actually, the freefly camps are supposed to be pretty good. Hopefully, you both become all around jumpers and not just stuck in one discipline with bad attitudes.}} ...

  21. Wow, Clinton got blow jobs from all those guys? ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants
  22. That's cool. But mantis is about harnessing the power in your lower body. The booties are pretty important. However, I have to defer to you and the gorgeous VSkyGirl (VIBES for MOM). Better to learn mantis regardless since it's early and time to start building the right habits. So I withdraw the second set of advice other than get booties if you can. About a half hour to the DZ.

    territorial?

    Cindy - Keep introducing yourself around. At most DZs you will eventually find those you click with. If not, there's other DZs. It's a big family most of the time. And like most, people are usually pretty nice once you understand them. Some just take longer to warm up than others. ...

  25. Oops, one thing. (edited based on Ron and Rosa's comments - i agree) Booties really show the power of Mantis. If you don't have booties, could you borrow a good fitting suit with booties so you can compare? Next month - still a good idea to have the thermals since the the early morning could be chilly ...
