  4. The raft i have is one of those real thick rubber ones. I know it is a pretty sturdy raft and when I bought it, it was kinda pricie, so i think it should hold up pretty well. "I Yam what I Yam" I am not afriad to die, only to die without living.
  5. So, after the responce from betsy....here it is. I have a raft, its a 3 person so its a good sive, and I don't care what happends to it. So I was thinking a raft jump would be great. I have never done one and was hoping some of you would want to get in on the jump, hopfully people who have done them. Betsy I am not sure if there should be a jump number limit, so if there is can you chime in and let us know. So if you want in PM me and we'll work it out and get the stuff done that needs done.

  16. I just got a D10 and was wondering if it supports the CF II media cards. Havent been able to find a clear answer anywhere. "I Yam what I Yam" I am not afriad to die, only to die without living.
  17. It seems to me after following this post for some time, and reading the photography forum post, the everything is going in one ear and out the other. Arrogance and cockyness are different things, but can have that same outcome in skydiving (or any dangerous situation) and that out come can be serious injury and/or death. No I am not a AFF instructor or a 10,000 jump wonder, but every time I put on my rig it is to have fun. If you ask me sitting in a wheel chair because I destroyed my spine and watching everyone else jump is not fun. You can have just as much fun under a more suitable canopy and walk away after a bad landing as you can under a full elliptical. When you go to the dropzone next time or when you come to AZ go to manifest or to AZTC or any of the pro swoopers there and say these words to them. "Hi, my name is Taylor I have 180 jumps on a A lic and fly a cobalt 135 at 1.4 WL and now I want to jump a camera." See what these "self proclaimed skygods say to that" That’s just my two cents "I Yam what I Yam" I am not afriad to die, only to die without living.
  18. BOHICA- bend over here it comes agian "I Yam what I Yam" I am not afriad to die, only to die without living.
  19. Do they still require AAD to jump there? "I Yam what I Yam" I am not afriad to die, only to die without living.
  20. Live here,....so ill be here!!!! come on in Square 2 and say hello "I Yam what I Yam" I am not afriad to die, only to die without living.
  21. I will be in Yuma on Tues and will probably be coming back to Eloy for the weekend. If you want a ride i can give you one. there are bunk houses at the dropzone. If you are interested I can fill you in on when I am comeing back for sure later this week. "I Yam what I Yam" I am not afriad to die, only to die without living.
  22. shut, I live 10 min from the dropzone (Eloy), your more then welcome, just don't tell my wife about the sexual favors and you can stay in our spare room. "I Yam what I Yam" I am not afriad to die, only to die without living.
  23. Okay, so do to recent gas prices I started riding my roomates Ducati 900. Lucky for me he is in Texis for two months and needed someone to drive his bike around for him. No I am traveling about 60 miles to work every other day so it has been a big relief on my wallet. I have always been around motorcycles, as long as I can remember there has been a Harley in my dads garage. So all I have riden was a "traditional" big (so my dad says). But I love this Ducati. So with the little experiance I have and the fact that I am going to be buying my own bike very soon, I was hoping for some input. What do you all like to ride? I can handle the shit my dad is going to give me, but i just feel torn. "I Yam what I Yam" I am not afriad to die, only to die without living.
  24. do you know if it will have the sotfwear interface like the pro-track does with the jump-track? "I Yam what I Yam" I am not afriad to die, only to die without living.
  25. Well it looks like most everyting has been said. But reading through the post I wanted to point something out. Now I have to talk from a Arizona stand point has I don't know Ca system very well. She needs to get her EMT. Most departments require it for employment. Meaning you can test for the untill your heart is content but come job offer time she better have it. Start Vol somewhere, it may just be with the comm. asst program, but she need to do it. Girls are in demand, but from experiance with the CPAT, many women do not pass it. Just to give an example, there is only one female firefighter at the department I work for right now. It is a hard test Physicaly (UPer and Lower body), Mentaly (its ment to pysch you out, and endurance challenging. And be prepared for a challenging carrer as a women in the fire service. A lot of guys feel it is dangerous for them to have a female on their truck. Personaly if they can do the job, and do it as good as the rest of the crew, then I don't care what sex they are. To even get through a prof. fire academy it would be a must that she can run under a 10 min mile. In my academy some morning we went for five miles and then did all the other stuff. Most comm. colleges have some sort of fire sience program, some are better then other but when you look at it, it all comes down to passing that state test. Ive been doing this close to 6 years now. After that much time in I just now recieved the position on the Deartment I have always wanted and I start next week. In short its hard, demanding, challenging, and not for everyone....but worth all of it. PM me if you have any questions.
