  1. If anybody cares, mikefarmer will no longer be with us. Apparently my compatriots prefer my OTHER name "Missy", so I will oblige. Boy I hate the term "Newbie!" Missy the 225 lb. Meat Missile Sky World
  2. Holy sh1t Robin. This thread has been hijacked! But, hey, they're moving WFFC this year, maybe we'll have to break in a new town. I hope the fuzz there isn't any faster than Quincy's finest!! Missy the 225 lb. Meat Missile Sky World
  3. Hey, I hardly ever run naked through the DZ! Missy the 225 lb. Meat Missile Sky World
  4. AAAAmen, I know I don't want my legacy to be "Mike Farmer, the guy who shut down the DZ......hymn, hymn........" Missy the 225 lb. Meat Missile Sky World
  5. Damn, Bill. If I wasn't already married........Anyway, ya'll ever notice how it's the ones with the experience who don't feel the need to constantly bash others. Peace out! Missy the 225 lb. Meat Missile Sky World
  6. Good advice, but for a second there, I thought you were going to say the display unit was mounted upside-down in its window as in some containers. I was about to roll. Missy the 225 lb. Meat Missile Sky World

    Impact

    How many people are in the group? I think that would be an important issue. If it were just 2, than I'm afraid I would cork, to get out fast. If more, the ball thing sounds like a good idea... Missy the 225 lb. Meat Missile Sky World
  8. We're gonna have one this year Pammi!!! Come see us. Missy the 225 lb. Meat Missile Sky World
  9. Oh yeah, having someone IAD you helps in that both people can take two handed grips!! Missy the 225 lb. Meat Missile Sky World
  10. I saw with my own eyes (and JVC) a Mr. bill from a Super Otter under a VX 97. Adam and Jon flew the thing for 10,000 ft. while Lee docked a couple of times with a VX 69 I believe. I just followed along under my Vengeance 135 (feeling like a tandem floating along) shooting video. I had to go home after that one, and missed the one where they did the same thing, THEN, Jon drops 50 ft. of rope, and Adam rappels to the end and drops into space. Saw the video though. Looks cool as shit. Anyway, Pammi, any canopy that opens slowly should work. But the smaller you go, the more "interesting" the flight will be! And frappe hats are great for this if nothing else, they keep the tooth marks out of the forehead area, while not knocking the teeth out like a helmet might!! Missy the 225 lb. Meat Missile Sky World
  11. Check the fatality pages as well. I would swear that I read about a guy being killed in Austrailia when an eagle went through his chest in freefall. Either somebody got me, or I read it somewhere. I think it would have been in 98 or 99. Missy the 225 lb. Meat Missile Sky World
  12. Here's wat ya do: 1. Hang out with a rich chick who is from Fla. and is DYING to be on a freefly team. 2. Get your jump buddy to "join the team." 3. Name the team "Snatch Force" 4. Convince her of your teams desperate need for coaching in exotic locations. 5. Prepare to PARTY!! Sick, but effective! P.S. Hey Goat, see if you can't convince Rigga Jon to jump on the DZ.com bandwagon! Missy the 225 lb. Meat Missile Sky World
  13. EEEEKKK! Discipline schmisipline! I thought we were talking about FREEflying. Yes, if you're gonna cork, be alone, or all plan to cork at once, but dammit end a five way flower with a belly accordian, then barrell roll onto your backs and track away if you want to. It's FREE!!!!! WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO! Missy the 225 lb. Meat Missile Sky World
  14. He replaced the old tape with new Type III if I understood him correctly. I was on my cell phone at my uncle's Tet celebration, so it was a strain on the old ears. Missy the 225 lb. Meat Missile Sky World
  15. Chuck, I believe he was referring to those who complain about a canopy needing to be "sped up" in order to get enough lift to flare and slow down properly. I have seen these complaints on the forums about the Safire, Sabre and other canopies. These complaints make no sense to me either, and frankly I don't think someone who cannot land a canopy straight in has any business hooking it to "improve the flare." I'm gonna guess that Clay can even land his truck straight in if he wants to! Missy the 225 lb. Meat Missile Sky World
