NOOB only to bogley!

[VINIA]

Hello, I was introduced to Bogley by a good friend from work. My name is Garren. I live in the Salt Lake valley, and spend as much of my time outdoors. Many interests and likes for the wide genre. Some include: skydiving, camping the right way,hiking,fishing,hunting, just to name a few.

Can't ever seem to get enough of the extreme outdoors!

Thanks

Welcome :2thumbs:

Yes jumping out of a perfectly good airplane.. is quite the rush. Technically in my opinion, the rush is not everything. The view during a free fall of the Earth is absolutely beautiful.

My friend is an avid member of Bogley, You may know him as fourtycal.

Thanks for all the welcomes.

G, you finally signed up eh! good work. When we skydiving? Lets get an invite on here to your next gig too! :rockon: :rockit:

[VINIA]

I would love to get into biking more. Just need to pick up a good cheap durable bike.

I plan on doing alot of skydiving this year. Jumps just started last week. In my opinion it might be a tad too cold for a few more weeks. We should get a skydiving section on here.

My band VINIA, also my screen name, will be playing a lot a shows as this summer, we've had several this year. Our next show is April 5th at Club Vegas. It is a head bangers bar. Very cool place and excellent music.

Welcome aboard.

That looks like the inside of a helicopter on your avatar. Do you jump out of those too?


Combo camping/hiking/fishing trips are the best. Make sure to post some reports for us.

Hey Garren, I'm pretty new here too if you go by total # of posts. Welcome!:rockon:

You can find "good, cheap & durable" bikes a plenty on www.ksl.com and craigslist. It sounds like you don't have nearly enough hobbies as it is :jump_nutt:


That looks like the left side of an R44 in your avatar. Are you a pilot as well? I currently fly Bell 206 B & L models in the GOM.

[VINIA]

Yup! that would be the inside of an R22 Helicopter. We flew over the provo area that day.

I have never jumped from a Helo... but one day.. I will hang from the skids.

[VINIA]

yes actually that is the inside of an R22 two seater Helicopter. We were flying over the provo area.

No I havent jumped from one of those yet. But someday soon. I want to climb out at 13,000 feet and hang from the skid to jump from it. That would be sweet!!!

Nice plan! Hope you will have another pilot though. ;)

I did a jump from a helicopter in Switzerland. 12K I think, over Lauderbrunen valley; where a lot of James Bond movies were made (or so I was told.) Beautiful jump. We didn't hang from the skid though. Stood on it, facing the chopper, and then leaned back. Way fun...

You won't be doing that from a Robinson. I had one at 11,800' MSL once, which worked out to be roughly 14,000' Density Altitude (the ceiling for both the R22 and the R44). This was one of the most uncomfortable feelings that I've had in a helicopter (I've had many). I knew it would be fairly unresponsive but I was still surprised at the finesse required to prevent exceeding several of its limitations.
On the same token; 14,000' doesn't feel too hot in a Bell 206-L4 either. If you're going to do it, I'd suggest nothing short of an A-Star B3 or even a Lama.

[VINIA]

I definitely have an expensive taste when it comes to hobbies. I dont understand why all the extreme ones cost an extreme dollar.. hmm?

I would love to Jump out in the Switz area. It would be sweet to just fly right in and jump. Visit the skies before the land. I have never Been Over 5500 agl in a Helo before. So I have not quite experienced the uncomfortable feelings yet. I got to sit in the sky 5 helicopter out in woodscross but havent had the chance to take flight in a Bell yet. Someday.

Good to find some more sky junkies on here.

[VINIA]

bbennett.

We need to get together and fly a bit. I only have about two hours and about 48 hours ground school under my belt. not much but i know this is what I want to do.

I was attending SilverState Helicopters in Ogden, breifly before they file bankruptcy.

Maybe you can help me out in that area?

[bbennett]

Vinia,

PM me when you get a chance. I'm offshore right now so it might be about a week or so before I can get back to you. I'm good frfiends with Pope and Bryce. :nod:

[VINIA]

hey bbennett I had sent you a PM. about Helicopters and flying and such.

Let me know if you got it.
