Just a quick note to say congrats to all you old farts. Yes, Sky and Burl that includes you. Michael

OK Now, Who is going around putting my name on attendance lists? I mean gess o pet and gosh dolly. You could have at least let me know that I had put my name on the list. - Wait!! maybe I am having one of my moments and don't remember putting my name on the list. Or, more than likely, I was hanging out with Rick and he forced me to drink and tricked me when, as does not happen often , I was drunk. Anywho, going to attend the 100 ways as well and look forward to seeing all you malcontents again. How can you tell a Hellfish?

OK, I don't usually step in on these things but any mention of behaving needs to stop with Skymama's post and go no further. Boogies and behaving should not be uttered in the same sentence.

An unknown representative from Team Flying Hellfish will be on location if Spence agrees to bring the spoons. HF#15 TDS 173 MB2603 Quince Rodriquez SD1553 SB8 CSA466 POPS???

Ok, this can get very complicated so read carefully. First, decide on how many people will actually be on the skydive. Second, close your eyes. Third, imagine what it would be like if the skydive you are about to create would actually work. Fourth, realize that the skydive needs to be much less complicated. Fifth, design the skydive using your tried and true method of PENCIL not pen. You know the numbers won't stay the same. Sixth, call for the dirt dive - don't forget to bring your skydive design with you to the dirt dive. Seventh, show everyone on the dirt dive how great it would be if they could actually do the dive you spent all this time designing by showing them the picture. Eight, count how many people actually showed up for the dirt dive - this WILL NOT be the same number of stick figures on your nice drawing. Ninth, comtemplate why you spend so much time drawing this nice formation - don't take to long doing this - your organizees might think you want a beer. Tenth, pull another formation out your A#$ like you have done for years and go have a good time.Quote

Not only will you miss all the fun that MB65 is talking about but you would also miss the TOGA PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I suppose that a teacher didn't teach you how to skydive. Worked about 20 hours this week at home and spent 1/2 a day at the dropzone.

Stella for $2.00, what about those of us who don't drink? Now, I don't care who you are - thats funny!!

Hmmm, going have to agree with Ron on this one. Very Uncool!!!! Perhaps you should get your coach rating asap - NOT!!!! A skygod in the making huh, egrrbeavdiver? Blue skies, light winds, & good friends, Michael

Well shit, was away last weekend and now I learn that I am going to miss those wonderful pancakes. Ya know, this other RW sometimes gets in the way of the real RW - the one that is important. For all you bomb squad and Hellfish members, drink a beer for me. Hell, who am I kidding, drink a whole lot of beers for me. See ya.

This is a very interesting thread. So many people upset with the possibility of loosing bragging rites to the same people they are upset with. It makes very little since to me to nit pic the rules of a record that is purportedly amongst friends. As to the issue of posting, just because one is capable of pontificating does not make them an expert at anything – from silence comes wisdom. Perhaps there is more wisdom needed to clear up this debate.

Wow, it amazes me how much talk/smack can be generated by some friendly competition. Don't know if I qualify to participate but if so, I will be there whenever needed. Let me know oh King of the Kitty Hearders.

I have jumped at just about every DZ in Florida and have in fact jumped at all the ones on your list. If you are a newbie and want a great place to jump, it would be Z-Hills. All the others are great and have their merits but do not come close to the freindliness and acceptance of out of towner newbies than Z-hills. IMHO.

Glad to see you like the way the rig looks. Take care of her, she took good care of me. Michael

A question to ponder. Would the world be silent or at least a much quieter place if all those who make gripes and compliants thier primary mode of converstion?

I would like to post a short letter saying how pleased I am with Sunrise Rigging International. Sunrise, the makers of the Wings® container system has been nothing short of remarkable in my endeavor to acquire a new container. Everyone from the owner Henri Pohjolainen to the office staff Anne and Paige have demonstrated the utmost in professionalism in dealing with the issues that have come up in the process. What I find very refreshing is that there was never any question as to what would be done to rectify the situation(s). The answer was always the same, what it takes to make the customer happy with our product. I would be remiss if I did not mention Marko and Steven and all the work they put into this process. From multiple teardowns to minor adjustments, they have always been professional and courteous. In closing I would like to mention two things. First, to thanks everyone at Sunrise Rigging International (Wings®), for all their help once again. And second, just an observation, even with all the additional things that had to be done to my Wings® container to make it just right, I still received it faster than I would have received other popular container systems. Thanks again Henry, Marko, Steven, Anne, and Paige. Humbly, Michael A. Wolfe Hellfish #15

A friend told me about this thread and I felt compelled to read. It is amazing how, as OKALB stated, those with lower jump numbers are adament about being able to jump higher wing loadings. I believe that education through regulation is a good idea here. Why?, because the current system does not work! How many of these people who are proponents of "freedom" have seen anyone they know or care for make a mistake under a highly wingloaded canopy? It is ugly at best and tragic more times than not. Time in sport seems to be a very humbling factor. As long as there is an option to test out, no intelligent person should oppose something that would make skydiving a safer place for all involved. Can you make your canopy land (stop) where you want it to ALL the time? 1400 jumps, 1000@1.3 under a 170 and now @1.4
