Radial Beaver hands down.

Thanks Kim, and everyone else. I was using tube stows and big bands (single stowed) for the closers with my vectrans for about 1200 jumps with good results. I then switched to HMA lines (30 jumps) and was using large bands double stowed all around with progressively worse results and my first function in 2000 jumps. Thanks again, J

Then what for the closers?

I don't stay in a hotel because of your tired ass disco with a twist. I stay in a hotel because YOU DQ are fucking boring! I'll buy you some aspirin. Best, J

Tender boat with very unhappy Mexican imigration authorities.

Helo pad on a criuse ship 2 miles off the beach in Mexico. Yeah, I spotted and not very well. J

Are they bringing back the 1900ft high speed passes this year? J

Anybody know if there is a top-mounting roll cage for a PC1000 out there?

LA to sydney was like time travel, thanks to Ambien.

Cool! Are they going to have angry geezers with remember when stories?

Am I entitled to point out what a whiny geezer you sound like. There is a lot of the "entitled generation" generation fighting and dying in an unpopular war right now without having to be drafted. I'm sure the skydivers of your day where a much more noble group. J

I'm probably the minority here, but jumping for me is more fun when not done on a grand scale, on any given weekend with friends new and old. Just because I like music doesn't mean I like large, over promoted concerts, or sex vs. orgies, or making some fun skydives vs. whatever it is that defines a boogie. I don't think boogies need to be banned, but I don't need em. J

PA deleted. Please read the rules.

I witnessed someone shooting at me and two of my friends outside the apex lounge Fayettville, NC circa 92. J

Great vid, thanks for sharing. J

A lot of people are going to knock the vengeance, but I put about 1000 jumps on a 120 and while the openings were a bit brisk, it dove great and was a swoop machine. I also found the transition to the velo 103 I now jump to be seamless. J

Is there going to be any skydiving? J

Coolidge, AZ

Skydiving happens every weekend, over cornfields,snow,the ocean and dz's big and small. The only thing that makes it a boogie is some dumb fucking outfits and a keg. Aren't most boogies full of wuffos and their brand new gear. J

The flagship of Skydive Twincities is the beaver, but if your one of these people that likes to make alot of jumps in a hurry we also get a super otter from spaceland in the summer. J

So what do you have to to be a shithead?

My G-3 riser covers routinely came open before and after I sent the rig back to have it fixed, at my expense. I Now jump a javelin oddessy and it stays shut. Best, Joel

I was in the 82nd 90-94, and the JM wore the standard t-10 and belly reserve, rucksack. The safety wore the set-up your describing and unlike the JM he stayed with the plane. It allways impressed me how much longer the JM was on his feet than the rest of us with the same load hanging off of him.
