Hey Sean - glad to see you're posting on dz.com!

Hooray for brilliant girlfriends!

Hi Mrs. lowpullin - I can't imagine what you must be going through right now with your husband gone overseas and your baby due any day now. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family for a safe reunion and a healthy delivery. --Jennifer

It's an extension of your slider with two to three pockets, usually on the leading edge. Or you can try a lip going all the way around the slider. It basically inflates and catches air so that air doesn't get to the nose as quickly during opening. Ask your rigger to build you one. If you want specific measurements, PM me. --Jennifer P.S. Do you know Rasta Mike Brown (packer)? He used to work there and then moved to Oregon to grace us with his packing skills.

My friend had very hard openings on his Merit 190. He had pockets built onto his slider and he loves it now. He even uses it for camera jumps since the change. Evenstill, he has jumped Sabre2s and says you will get softer openings on the Sabre2. --Jennifer

I too haven't been able to bring myself to this movie. Just seeing the commercials on tv make me uncomfortable. I know I will be very emotional during the skydiving scenes. I do want to go see it, though. Mike was so excited to do it.

Congratulations on getting your ticket! What a great accomplishment. I know only one female rigger, but hopefully by month's end, I'll be one, too!

Hi Valerie - sorry about your back - it sounds painful! I would recommend seeing a massage therapist first. Your back pain may be from chronic muscle tension, or as you stated, maybe from poor posture. The massage therapist might recommend a chiropractor if they think it might be an alignment issue. That would be my first course of action before seeing a doctor. To find a reputable therapist in your area check out this website for the American Massage Therapy Association. Look for someone with experience in deep tissue, myofascial release, and injuries instead of someone with a lot spa type experience. http://www.amtamassage.org/findamassage/locator.htm I am a massage therapist in Oregon. PM me if you have any questions. Hope you feel better soon! --Jennifer

Hola Loco! Que pasa en Mexico? Welcome to the forums!

Awesome! Don't you LOVE getting new toys? Have a great time and be safe.

How 'bout Corey Hart - I wear my sunglasses at night Joan Jett - I Love Rock'n Roll You can't forget Wang Chung!

Chute n' shoots are a lot of fun. They were included in both of our boogies this year. After your canopy accuracy jump, you go through a handgun safety briefing and then give it your best shot!

You need to have warnings on posts like this! Now I'm having a hard time sitting at my computer!
