JoneZ Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 (edited) Hello all. My name is Jon, and I am a Convert... <waits for the "Hello Jon" response.> hehe I've been flying dual line for about a year, and got my first Rev for my 30th B-day (27th). I've flown a Rev once before with John B. and fell secretly in love with it.. <Looks around at Dual lines> Can't say that too loud.... So once again, Im a newbie, learning to ride the bicycle backwards, and having a blast doing so. Looking forward to the new years day fly (although its gonna be a soaking wet one) to sharpen up some basic skills. So umm.... Yeah... HI!!! heres a couple pics of my new Love affair.

Baloo Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 So welcome to the Rev site too Jon. Glad you have seen sense and doubled your lines up. As for riding the bike backwards, I can not even do a forwards Bicycle turn. you will have to give me some lessons :-) So jealous about you being able to go to the New Years fly with JB and the gang.

Ah, just a quick jaunt across the puddle m8. You'll have to make it a point to get up here soon!! I'll give you those lessons if you teach me stick shift in a UK car. o.0 Hehehe! Glad to see you over on the "dark side" of the forum! Woooo Hooooo! Dark and Cold atm (referring to the weather here). Thanks!!!! Jon ~ I have a bag full of dulies, I think???? ...haven't been in that bag for two years now! Welcome to the DARK SIDE! Im packing up my dualies and singles now for that fun fly. Its a bit sad really, like wishing a good friend off into the unknown world. I must not forget to fly them. Jon Welcome to the Wonderful World of Revs. It has brightened our lives so much, I no longer refer to it as the "dark side". Were the photos you posted taken in Bandon Oregon? hehe, thanks m8.

Baloo Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 The jaunt across the puddle is on my wish list. As far as teaching you stick shift, no problem, you come over here, I will get you sat on the wrong side of a Land Rover and have you driving off road in no time, it is what I do!! Taught Russians, Chineese, Japaneese, Americans, in fact pretty much you tell me a nationality and I have probably had one in a car with me. You enjoy yourself New Year. hope the weather is not too bad and you feel up to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS Kite Stakes Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I will get you sat on the wrong side of a Land Rover and have you driving off road in no time, it is what I do!! Don't you mean the Right side? (literally and figuratively) I was under the impression that us Yanks had it wrong.....or am I under the wrong impression.......

JoneZ Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Heheheh Had to. Yeah Jon, bite the bullet, take the plunge, come clinic it with us... Besides, you've not yet had your hazing. Well Money is always tight round these parts, as you're well aware, so we'll have to see if the penny jar allows it this year. Should cost about $75 in gas alone in the Jeep. lol If not, I may just show up anyhow, and watch from the side lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baloo Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Now cone on Jon, you could not possibly turn up at a clinic and watch from the sidelines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean750 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Yeah Jon, bite the bullet, take the plunge, come clinic it with us... Besides, you've not yet had your hazing. How did I forget the hazing? Up side down handle/s, weighted vert, pigtailed lines, mysterious uncapping of the LE..... in for a good time Jon.

dean750 Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 you just gave away all your secrets! You only think you know. It's not knowing the secret, it's ummmmm....... before I do it again.... it's a touch thing. And a little walking, maybe some cursing, wonder if what is happening is really happening or are you a bit off that day. Psychological hazing is just as satisfying as physical. Watching you walk for a little while would be kinda funny, wouldn't it? The clinic would be just the spot for it too. Help ya get in shape to hang. You know I'm just stuffin' ya right? Or, maybe not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
