LMAO. Like it. Like it a lot. All-in-all, she lived a good life. Her "recent" choices resulted in a (predictably) untimely death... good for her. What better group to appreciate the joke.

48 aint that young +1

I'm completely down! You do know the producers are going to feed us tons of alcohol in hopes that we will hookup on camera, right?

I don't think I will ever look at early tandem history the same again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYWT4uYOPvs

The shuttle service is probably your cheapest option. There are a number of fun jumpers from Phoenix and depending on your arrival time you may be able to catch a ride down with someone from Phoenix.

Sounds like my roommate. His total jump numbers and time in sport are inflated and he never took a canopy course. No worries though...he has mad skillz.

You mean Sugar Gay? Ahhh yeah....that guy sucks.

Unless something has changed this season I believe it's $7/night if you stay a week or more.

to waiting tandems while packing.... "Am I doing this right?" while harnessing... "I guess this looks like it did in the video this morning." sticker next to door (C182)... "If your scared, tell us" Not that it will chnge anything

Eloy, Convince Andy to come with you.

You're referencing MERS . It's highly unlikely that pursuing that option would yield favorable results and it's a bit morally questionable to even do so.

for the 1% (who crashed the economy) we were their insurance policy... How about the 75 percent who crashed the economy. You know, people who took out bigger mortgages than they can afford? Did the economy really start tanking when people STOPPED paying their mortgages? Sure, the bankers were complicit. As were the policymakers, politicians, etc. Quit pointing your finger at a chosen villain and take an objective look. I point the finger at myself, too. Hey! This is the SC! Take your reasonable argument somewhere else.

It happens.

I understand the rig is old and my buddy who checked it out worked in a loft for several months and said it looked ok with the exception of the fore-mentioned issues, but he would not certify that it was air-worthy since he does not have a ticket. The price is so low that I figured it might be ok to jump while I save money for another rig as it's 30/jump to rent gear.

Hi, I'm just about to complete my A license. I have 30 jumps and I found a rig that I may be interested in owning for the next 50 jumps or so. The rig I'm looking at is a 1990 Racer Elite with a 235 Falcon and a Raven II reserve. My buddy checked it out and suggested that it receive a new line-set and PC, but stated he say no reason a rigger would not find it air-worthy. I'm about 190 out the door and have no experience with F-111 canopies. Is this a safe rig for a new jumper (assuming I have a cypress installed)? Also, is $600 too much to pay? Thank you.
