Pretty cool, even though I'm not one for flying.

Right I dont like to be any further of the ground than I can jump.

Funny I have done work on large antenna towers 250-300' but dont like to fly.

Either of you ever been in a small plane before? Granted I do this for a living but it is truly fun on all sorts of levels. And 86 century, I can probably fly you along about as high as you can jump but that is much more dangerous...

Does a powered parachute count?

Now that's just crazy talk there...I know a few that do it but holy cow, I don't know how I feel about strapping that to my back.

[wiatowski]

Noooo, not that kind, it's like an ultra light, but with a parachute in stead of a wing.

Still not a big fan of being up in the air. (pardon the pun)

Where do you live jet... I was just in Elk Grove Village last week.

I'm in Naperville, boat lives in my parent's driveway in Palatine as my driveway here is too short.

There are cropdusters and the a10's the fly over my house just barley.


I made the mistake of geting in a bell uh1 with a guy who flew dust in vietnam realy bad idea.
Only thing I remember is him saying the things are fun to fly when there no one is shooting at you.

Csuggs--Dude you look like you are about to rip someone's head off! I guess that is the face of concentration! That's a nice wave behind the boat. How much ballast + lbs of people would you say you've got there. I'm going to be trying wakesurfing this summer and I have approx. 1800 lbs of ballast to play with.

Lol! Those are two of my sons. Here's a pic of me. This is my first time so try not to notice how I look like I got something up my butt! Hopefully I'll be able to let go of the rope later this season. This was taken behind a friend's boat, so I'm not sure about the ballast.
