  1. Now I could see this going very bad. After the TM hooks up to the first person (the one sandwiched) and forgets to hook up the second one. Ouch.
  2. Well tell them to look it up. They HAVE TO HAVE a list of current school organizations. If they dont then they are in trouble.
  3. Have you tried contacting your student activites there? they should have a list of all current/active clubs.
  4. are you on campus right now? I am in the computing lab in engineering.
  5. Was this the african american british guy. that chopped over trees? I was told that he was heading toward some powerlines and chopped because he didn't know what else to do.
  6. Yeah I'm at the Tampa campus. (I just moved and forgot to change my address). And flyers wont help because its due tomorow. I originally thought that we would wait till next year but my friend really wants to get it going and see if we can get some club gear/transportation/fund raising.
  7. so lets see. Space suit, $450,000 Weight 250(me)+100(suit + gear) times $100/lb is $35,000 so a lift ticket of only $485,000 not bad.
  8. Just checking if anyone here is a USF student. Myself and A friend are getting ready to turn in the form tomorow (thurs) and still need ~4-5 USF students to sign up. or maybe a USF Staff that would volunteer to be an advisor. Thanks. Oh and were thinking of calling it "South Florida Skydiving" does anyone know if that will conflict with anything/one Thanks again. JeffD
  9. I lived in Yuma,AZ for 5yrs total and well all I have to say is that when you get out of your car and start running towards the nearest store to get inside is tooo hot. OR that when you drive the wind is hotter than the air inside your car. Hmm.. what else. You can cook breakfast on the sidewalk. But you have to remember its a dry heat.
  10. (a little long) Well I saw the Golden Nights do some training out at YPG, in Yuma Az (before the accident) when I was 8rs old. SO during that time period I thought I was going to be able to jump hehe needless to say it didn't happen. So I just kept dreaming and watching movies and such. 9yrs later I was 17 and my mother and I went to go watch Jay Stokes do his 500jumps/day record. We got out there late ~ 9:30pm and he was jumping like mad it was cool. They had 2 cessnas running one after another and they had a turboprop (dont know what) running by itself when the cessnas were refueling. Amazing to watch. Anyway 8months later a local radio station was giving away a tandem jump(that they bought during his record) to the caller who answered a question. Well my mom won but she didn't want to jump so she gave it to me. BUT I was 17 and coulden't jump. So I had to sit with a tandem jump ticket for like 3months until I turned 18. A week after I turned 18 a whole group of friends went with me/us out to Arizona Airplay to watch my jump. Well after an aff student jumped(had to wait for the plane to come back) it was my turn. And I got to jump with none other than Jay Stokes as my TM. now Im 6'2" ~ 250 and Jay is about 5'6" ~ 150. I'm gona have to get my VHS onto the net somehow (anyone want to help?) its cool. Anyway so we get the CameraFlyer doing his tandem stuff "what are you doing" etc... So we jump out, Small front flip, and I go big, my arms are outside of his, My legs are outside of his, so we started sliding when he pulled the drouge and I cought the slide b4 he did (you can see it on the video) then 4500ft later he waved to the camera and pulled. I had the chest strap just a tad loose so when he pulled I kept going for a second while the canopy was opening and had a bruise where the chest strap was. Also while opening I almost kicked the camera guy (again you can see it on video) on accident because my body just flung forward. But the best thing was that we had a standup landing!!! Now 2.5yrs later I am trying to start to get my license, only thing holding me back is $$ but I will return to the sky.
  11. The video is on, www.skydivingmovies.com under "from TV" and then 4freefall. heh.
  12. I love that, so what are they considering terminal? but then they go headdown so they are above terminal. But you have to remember that WasteManagement in Florida will NOT STOP if a skydiver impacts their dump truck.
  13. Yeah I used to work for Target. And they will not let anyone do anything on their property. We had some Baseball team ask a manager (LOD) if they could sell apples in front of the store and the manager said it was ok. But like 2 hrs later when another manager came to work they freaked and I believe the first manager was fired.
  14. That sucks man. Hey have you ever thought about a hidden kill switch? for like 2 dollars you can go to radioshack get some wire and just wire a toggle switch from + side of the coil to ground and it will never start unless the switch is open.
  15. Can you change the refresh rate some how?
  16. Man its tough. My parents got divorced when I was 5 and My mother always badmouthed my father in front of me, which is not fair. I only saw my father for 2 months a year because my mother moved us around alot and woulden't tell him where we went until around summer time when I would leave for 2 months and come back. Needless to say after I turned 18 I went to my fathers house to start college so I could spend lost time with him. I wish you best of luck.

    VW pics!

    Ahh bugs are fun. I had a 71 Superbeetle (rust bucket) because I mainly worried about it working, not looking good. I didn't go too big but got a 1641 longblock from the junkyard for $75 (they said it was frozen solid) all that happend was the rings rusted to the cylinders. so I cleaned it up and just transplanted everything else off the top carb, intake, Fan, oil cooler, generator. etc. So If you need a case, check out the junkyard, You might get lucky.
  18. Take I-75north until exit 265 (fowler) exit east. Take fowler until it ends into (301) turn left head that way for ~14miles turn right at the light (chancey) and just follow that road as it winds around. It will hook to the left and just keep watching to the left and you will find it. If you get lost just try to find the ZepherHills airport and its all the way on the East side.
  19. "He wore an anti-gravity suit..." Hmmm I know that they have to have a pressurised suits but He'll do it sooner or later.
  20. Eraser when he jumps out of the 747 ahead of the engine but misses getting sucked into it.
  21. I had thought about this and what I think would seem easy would be to shoot a 22 into the radiator of the vehicle and just wait for it to overheat and seize the engine.
