they're not invited! Update: We had to cancel scrambles, scrambles will be held sometime in the fall, date TBD. In its place, we're having the following: Mentoring: 4-way mentoring will be held on Saturday and Sunday (ending early for the ash dive). This will be a low-stress, fun method for newer skydivers to learn some new skills. All jumpers who are current with an A license are welcome to participate. For more information on mentoring, contact Bettina Dice at skyhighb@gmail.com.

Skydive Virginia will be hosting the first annual Motus Boogie (in honor of Patrick McNamara) the weekend of Aug. 12-13.

Thanks!! I'll put them in the mail today

My team and I just got back from an amazing weekend of training at the tunnel. We had 5.5 hours of tunnel video, which we were able to watch in Orlando, but when we got back to Virignia we couldn't get the computer or DVD player to read the disks. Both are compatible with recordable DVD formats. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, could you fix it? Please tell me that I'm just missing something obvious and we didn't lose all of our video

I tried to give it away - but no one wanted to take it! Now that you mention it - a couple of guys at our DZ are working on one....I can't wait

very funny....

I was there and I know it was good for me!

the anticipation is killing me!

uh-oh....

of all the ones I've had - I like the taste of Go Fast the best - although they're all too sweet for me. Found one when I was overseas this summer called Base http://www.baseconcept.com/base.html. It tasted pretty nasty - but their marketing campaign had skydiving in the print ads, which looked pretty cool....

it may have been attempted - but there was definitely no spark!!

They definitely moved to North Carolina - I was talking to one of his regulars at the CSS Easter Boogie.

I was wondering the same thing....

super excited to see you too purple p (and Todd)

Just finished: "The Dive From Clausen's Pier" by Ann Packer - it's a quick read - but not bad. Am in the middle of two books: 1. The Corrections - Jonathan Franzen (hard to get into but once you're there it's pretty good) 2. The Other Boleyn Girl - Philippa Gregory (am loving this book and having a hard time putting it down!)

143 in 2003 - probably would have been more if I hadn't taken time off over the summer to study for the bar exam.

First owned a PD 190. It was a good first canopy for me.

In response to this - I think he's exaggerating quite a bit about the availability of these "souvenirs". My family is Lebanese, we go back every summer - in fact I was back there twice this summer and saw nothing that even looked like what he brought back. No one in my family or anyone in the homes I visited while I was there had anything like them.

I have those too. I end up basically floating down to the ground with no worries - they're very weird dreams.

what do you mean before? they have me propped up on my elbows because my boobs were already too big!

yep - that's one of a series that my parents have in their old albums!

here's the only picture I have of me...I think I was about 9 months old.

we have several non-drinkers at our DZ. Most of them choose to bring sodas when they owe for a first. But there's a couple of people that go the extra mile and bring homemade cookies, muffins, brownies, etc. yummy

I had almost the identical e-mail convo with someone that sounds a lot like this person. It's a scam - almost the same details as this e-mail except my guy claimed to be from somewhere in Africa. Run far, far away from this one!!
