  1. Anyone ever jump here? What's it like?
  2. Congratulations! I jumped there the day before this record and you guys sure do have a nice DZ along with some nice people, not to mention the great prices. Look forward to coming back again someday.
  3. I made my first tandem 2 years ago on Father's Day. Made one solo jump today! It's still as fun as the first time.

  5. Did you ever figure out why the brakes would not release? Why did you think you had a line over? Could you see a line over?

    Colorado...

    Forget about the trip and save that money for jumps or gear.
  7. Sat down and watched him not long ago teaching a few students in the hanging harness. We officially met and shook hands for the first time. He might not have known it but he was teaching me at the same time. He would get the students spinning pretty good and every so often peek over at me and smile. Blue Skies Dan-o
  8. 0:1:0 Only made one jump and for the first time I did not stand up my landing. Ankle felt a little funny so I decided to call it a day.
  9. Talked to my brother last night. His SF unit was the first to give these a try. My brother did not get the chance to jump one. He said to many people were getting hurt with them and they sent them back. He said they were getting blown into fences and buildings?
  10. I'll be at Mile-Hi this Saturday and could use some help learning some packing techniques on my new Sabre2 170 that only has 50 jumps on it. I took a class but only learned on a student main which was already broken in and easy to pack. I'd be happy to bring along some beers.
  11. Welcome to Colorado! I'm sure you will like it. Will you be jumping at Mile-Hi Skydiving?
  12. I meant to say 176 - just for larger reserve closer to the size of my main in my M4.
  13. I'd love to have a Optimum 160! I'm patiently waiting with my fingers crossed.
  14. He screwed up by first off getting the ARM and second blowing through his equity. I have over $70 grand in equity in my house and have always been smart enough not to touch it. I have done all of my own remodeling at a slow snails pace over the past 8 years but it sure is paying off now.
  15. My neighbor is in a world of hurt with an adjustable rate mortgage. He just finished adding a room on the back of his house with hopes of gaining enough equity to get out of the adjustable rate and into a fixed rate, problem is his ran out of money and the outside has not been completed so the appraiser would not appraise his house. This guy has been my neighbor for almost 10 years and we just never talked much or seemed to hit it off like all of my other neighbors. He owns his own remodeling company and has always been more than generous to his family overseas in Germany when ever they need help, too generous. A few years ago I tried to help a buddy out who was doing odd jobs. He asked for my help to buy an aerator so he could make some money. I have 2 girls of my own and I'm not rich by any means but I decided to try to help, I knew what I was getting into but decided the good karma was worth it. In the end I paid $900 and he only paid me $300 back after 6 months so I took the aerator back. It has been sitting in my garage for 3 years. I figured what the hell and posted it on craigslist tonight and sold it for $300 and took the money straight to my neighbors house so he could use it towards his remodel. I don't have allot of money and could have used the $300 but man it felt good to stuff it in his pocket, he would not take it out of my hand. Just a word of advise - DON'T EVER GET AN ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE.
  16. Oh I thought it was Fri, Sat, Sun - guess I need to update 1:1:0
  17. 0:2:0 3-way tracking jump sitfly solo that I actually held for 6,000 feet
  18. Could not wait for my first repack so I could pull my reserve handle and make sure everything was working properly - everything worked just fine. Is this something I should do at every reserve repack?
