  1. Cool, Hopefully more and more people will get with it and help out Gold Coast. Still here after all these years Clayton
  2. Cmon everyone show your support. We need the help !!!!! Still here after all these years Clayton
  3. OK, I am making a donation by Pay pal, I am asking that everyone else that has had the chance to come to our drop zone and visited us to do the same or call and purchase a jump ticket by credit card, There are a lot of folks out there that has enjoyed the good times that we have at this drop zone and we are asking that you jump in with both feet to help us save our place, Remember by buying a jump ticket that it will help raise money needed quickly and when your down our way you can use it to make a jump. Or tear it up and say you helped the cause. Still here after all these years Clayton
  4. Hey Megan,You could give discounted exams and the proceeds got to the D/Z. Oh yeah I will be your assistant. Still here after all these years Clayton
  5. Great Idea Laurel, I am offshore so that is right up my ally, I also would like to add that it would not hurt for us local skydivers to set up some kind of fund to help Mike with the cost that is going to be incurred with what he is trying to do. Everyone knows that Mike has allways poured money back into our Dropzone and that's why we have such a nice place. If anyone else has any ideas on how to set something up to assist with all the cost that Mike is going to incur, Lets hear em, I am willing to pitch in. There are a lot of people that has visited our D/Z and I am sure there are a lot of folks that would be willing to try and help. Still here after all these years Clayton
  6. Is there any sites out there that someone can recomend for getting a good deal on any of the higher capacity batteries. Still here after all these years Clayton
  7. Thanks, That is what I needed. Still here after all these years Clayton
  8. I am offshore at work and I was wanting to order an extra one for the camera so it would be in when I get in for days off, I just can't remember what kind it is. And I don't want to order the wrong one. So any input would be a +++. Still here after all these years Clayton
  9. Does anyone know what size and kind of battery fits the TRV 19, or where I can find a good deal a larger capacity or replacement battery. Still here after all these years Clayton
  10. Try adding some weight, You will surprised to 10 lbs will do, Once you feel comfortable you can add more. It will help you see what loading is right for your style of flying Before spending money on a new canopy. Still here after all these years Clayton
  11. I work Offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and live along the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and what you have recommended is about as true as it gets, You have to drink plenty of water and other liquids combined, Gatorade or powerade, No soft drinks. If you see that your not sweating it could be a sign of heat stroke coming on, You have to recognize the signs and cool off. Still here after all these years Clayton
  12. I Jump 2 Xaos, My 104 I load at 2.4 and my 120 I load at just under 2.1. I can tell you that I get a longer swoop out of my 120 without much effort, But my 104 is a lot more fun to fly. The 120 flys better to me on rear risers than my 104. But I jump my 104 most of the time because it's fun to fly and land. I also have put on 20lbs of weight with the 120 at with the added weight will swoop it ass off. But I still love the 104 the most. Still here after all these years Clayton
  13. Yo Chuck, What's up, Sounds like a nitemare, But it also sounds like you figured out how to work the contraption. Thanks for sharing that post, My hands go numb trying to type that much........... Still here after all these years Clayton
  14. Anyone know what dates the key's boogie is going on this year. Any information on it would be appreciated. Still here after all these years Clayton
  15. My Rigger has saved my Ass 4 times, So what ever he does, I hope he continues doing it. Still here after all these years Clayton
  16. I am presently jumping a 104 at 2.4, The canopy flies and handles great, I also own a 120 that I load at 2.2. I get longer swoops out of the 120. But I love the speed and the way the 104 will stay in a dive. Most people will probably recommend trying to stay around 2.2 to 2.3 on a 21 Xaos. Still here after all these years Clayton
  17. Add me to the list, Just got word 2 weeks off is approved.............. Still here after all these years Clayton
  18. Has anyone jumped in the bahamas, we are sailing down there in a week on an adventure and was thinking about bringing our rigs. anyone know much or anything about the place ? Still here after all these years Clayton
  19. Very good answer, I can't think of anything to add but that. Still here after all these years Clayton
  20. We ( Some of the freeflyers at our D/Z ) have begun doing it towards the end of the dive. It's a great way to end a head down dive. ( Last couple of thousand feet before break Off ). and it is cool as shit. Still here after all these years Clayton
  21. I have had the same thing happen to mine before, Mike Brown the rigger at our D/Z had a bag full of the cover plates and replaced it for free. I believe that this is common problem with the covers. But you are right that is the way to keep someones business. Still here after all these years Clayton
  22. Dude I think I am going blind.............The myth is true............. Still here after all these years Clayton
  23. I have experenced the same problem with my odyssey, The main flap wants to come open if the closing loop is not good and tight. Still here after all these years Clayton
