  2. Well, what happened to the good old fashioned finger boogie? I'm proud to say I'm good at it! Back to back, for as long as I want. Not wastiing my jump money on stuff like that. "Diligent observation leads to pure abstraction". Lari Pittman

  4. Um I hope that juju doesn't include planes.............. "Diligent observation leads to pure abstraction". Lari Pittman
  5. Turns out there is one here in Toronto. I can drop it off and patched up n/p. Ice, I have two pc 109's. One of the biggest problems I have heard of and encountered was the focus error. Somthing happens in the focus mechanism and it doesn't adjust properly anymore. Usually from dropping or rough handling. The one I need repaired right now was knocked off of my desk by my cats and something has happened to the pc connection. I hope they can fix THAT. Enjoy ur cam i luv both of mine.
  6. I have some VERY disturbing pics of an ex naked in my gear. I'm saving em for black mail. Just waiting for him to get rich. "Diligent observation leads to pure abstraction". Lari Pittman
  7. LMAO! I did my first tandem at Perris, 13500. Had my SL instructor in Canada ask me if I got hypoxic at that hieght. "Diligent observation leads to pure abstraction". Lari Pittman
  8. OK I'm going to do it and I don't care who gets pissed off. Jump #1 Flown out to Cali cause I'm cute to hang out with some crazy friends, one a skydiver, have fun, learn, I want to jump. Jump #2 110 lb girl put on a 300 ft manta in 18m/hr winds fly backwards till landiing in what a first time canopy pilot can figure out as a safe place. Get slaps on the back for being alive. Jump#3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, get instructor that thinks I'm "hot" so wants to teach me. Teaches me everything he knows, in his defense, he has 300 + jimps. During this time, Second jump instructor asks me if I got hypoxic when in the Otter at Perris at 13500??????? Jump #13 Forced my way onto a first jump course for my check out jump to solo. All instructors too busy with teaching first time SL students. On the way to the plane experienced jumper tells me to look for the X and that is the spot. I see X, jump. Turns out, is for spot when winds opposite direction. I'm in shit, Canopy opens and because I am so light, on my 320 manta, pilot chute goes over front and trails on opening, I don't even see wing distortion from this, when experienced jumper comes on radio, I think I can take it in , I turn off radio to concentrate, and land right beside tuffet. Get grounded for turning off radio for two weeks. Jump#14 Everyone putting a lot of pressure on me to do it right, I do till jump 18. Jump# 18 I'm given to a BRAND NEW INSTRUCTOR with maybe 300 jumps. we do check out jump, everything is fine, I have same pilot chute problem and accooording to all of my instructors advice, cut away. Have skeery landing cause I see MY instructor have cut away on same jump, n I'm TERRIFIED! Land, no injuries, but skeery for me and instructor, get yelled at by him, cause, well he's new and skeered himself.........both instructor and student almost quit. I wait 1 yr before making another jump at my home dz Burnaby. I had, money, time, and interest, but I had no help. Everything I learned about skydiving, at that DZ, was about power and who deserved it. Was HORRIBLE. I do not blame my new instructor as he was learning, I do not blame any of the instructors taught at that dz, I do blame the DZO, for NOT taking the time to make sure that skydivers being trained to jump on thier own had the most up to date information and equipment suited to their size, with instructors that had enough experience to identify the "TINY" things they were doing to make the jumps go wrong. Was NOT fun! I had to learn to jump through perserverence and trust in ONLY myself, and my judgement of who understood the sport best, even though, I did not. It was hard, I made it. I learned ALL the things I did not understand about those first jumps, had too before continuing. I learned that there are good skydivers, well-meaning skydivers, and bad skydivers, just like all the people in the world. I now pay CLOSE attention to every skydivern I see. If I think they may be doing something incorrectly, I approach someone with 1000 jumps or more before I offer advice. Awareness comes with experience and they are much more aware than I. I wish I had had them when I began. G "Diligent observation leads to pure abstraction". Lari Pittman
  9. Or maybe..... Things were happening on the dz that didn't encourage growth. It made everyone unhappy, then someone came along and pushed growth and the energy is felt everywhere. Yeah I'm hippy - dippy, so what, I'm happy! "Diligent observation leads to pure abstraction". Lari Pittman
  10. LMAO My cat is all of the above and, he MAULS every person that walks through the door to death! "Diligent observation leads to pure abstraction". Lari Pittman
  11. Thnx I'm on the page now but I can't get my zipcode in, not enough space. uh oh. "Diligent observation leads to pure abstraction". Lari Pittman
  12. Yayyyyy K! It's so amazing watching someone "get it", no matter what it is they are trying to learn in this sport. It is what I love about it. The opportunity to watch people grow and become more aware every time they do it. Have fun be safe and get a good coach to help you every 20 or 30 jumps. Be safe! "Diligent observation leads to pure abstraction". Lari Pittman
  13. well I AM checking it...is it square, any holes, right turn, left turn, lines, slider..........2500ft release brakes flare. hmmm seems to me a full canopy check has been done. "Diligent observation leads to pure abstraction". Lari Pittman
  14. LMAO No thnx I like playing with hair, not posing for cameras. Don't watch tv so can't help ya. "Diligent observation leads to pure abstraction". Lari Pittman
  15. OMG DO IT! Oh man that would be MORE than drama....... "Diligent observation leads to pure abstraction". Lari Pittman
  16. I have been doing hair and make-up for 12 years now. Working long hard hours for others, and getting little in return. I recently opened a studio live/work loft and I am the happiest I have EVER been in my life. The funny thing is I am broke and can't skydive, but it doesn't matter. i know when I work hard it is for ME. Funny how when you let go of worrying about money and give yourself over to what you love most, everything else just works out. I'm getting calls from major photographers and getting amazing jobs, and I choose my clients, they don't choose me. Hopefully in one year I will be back in the air, till then I am a creative being living free. Thanx to all of you at DZ.com I can get my skydiving vicariously. =) I just wanted to share.

  17. Ok I have looked EVERYWHERE! I cannot find the information of an address to send my sony pc109 for repairs. It is no longer under warrenty so i mistakenly threw away the info. Anyone have the info on hand? "Diligent observation leads to pure abstraction". Lari Pittman
  18. http://www.koyn.com/CloudDancer/articles/Surf.html Check this out. A very good check list if you want to begin. I recomend Laurence at Perris. Or there is a couple the the woman surfs and her husband is video. Larry's email is rockit@mindspring.com I too am dying to begin skysurfing but have run out of $$$ So I just read about it a lot. =) "Diligent observation leads to pure abstraction". Lari Pittman

  20. I think that if you have aquired enough knowledge to swoop, then you should know the dangers associated with it. If you do, than you would WANT a seperate landing area. I would prefer to have where not to be spelled out clearly. "Diligent observation leads to pure abstraction". Lari Pittman
  21. wOw! That can't be real. Crazy was staring at the sky the other day after my usual 420 I swear I saw two skydivers makin out! That could have sumthin to do with my depravation in both areas though =P "Diligent observation leads to pure abstraction". Lari Pittman
  22. J brave guy for admitting to a mistake in public. cheers to you. I once jumped without completely tightening my leg straps. Scared the shit out of me. You won't see that happen again. same will go for you. Sounds like you still have a lil left in the luck bucket. "Diligent observation leads to pure abstraction". Lari Pittman
  23. Walt, go find yourself a BIG hair salon, make sure there are a few really hot women hairstylists and a few gay men workin there. Trust me 1 haircut every 6 weeks an you'll get ur fill. An you'll look hot at the end of it. "Diligent observation leads to pure abstraction". Lari Pittman
  24. Mick was sellin em on the DZ and I wanted HIM to get my money for makin the sale. I have to say I am not in love with my two peice, I had to have it taken in twice and I cannot ff with bigger dudes in it. "Diligent observation leads to pure abstraction". Lari Pittman
