nipp1e_boy 2 #1 June 13, 2010 Hey All, I wanted to see how the dorkzone was doing and to report on some really trippy shit I've been up to this season. I have always enjoyed groundrush the feeling when the single points on the ground start to rush outwards or when the numbers on the runway get really big is sooo fucking cool to see. But Nazi DZOs (*cough*burke*cough*) have been cramping my lo-pullin style. So to become safer (I am very safety conscious) I was trying to figure out a way to pull high (hehe...) but still get the ground rush. Heres what I tried: 1. Simple optics - if the mountain wont come to Mo make it look closer so hes cool. I bought a pair of binoculars I saw on tv one night, picked up a used NVG helmet and I was stylin. Exited at 10.5 looked down and almost shit myself. Ground rush was way too much but there was a lot of shakiness. I couldn't tell where I was because I couldn't read my alti. I thought I was gonna go in right then. Aired my reserve after 3 years inthe bag because my main is a sniveler and the shock ripped the binoculars clean off. In the saddle at 8k feeling like an idiot. Told the DZO i had no idea what happene dto the tandem customers car in the lot. 2. Calm the brain down - make things seem fast. Toke up before you get on. If toking up at the DZ is not OK where you jump anymore, get yourself some brownies or cookies. One jump I added a tiny dot of a blotter and it was like being a student again. Got chewed out by the DZO for not flying the patters but I was smilin from ear to ear. Now I'm a high (hehe!) pullin rush-gettin skydiver again. Anyone have any other ideas? -Nipple Boy A-19820 P.S. I think the binoculars are a good idea if I can get them to stabilize. How do the guys on the monrning news helos do it? Satellite?"Safety First! Fun Forever!"

That way you can get "canopy rush" as you freefall down into the cluster of open canopies swirling around below you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyrider 0 #4 June 13, 2010 You want a rush...ride a honda cruiser up in front of the Hells Angels clubhouse, park it next to their bikes, then go sit on one of their rides and play twist and bounce! Garenteed a day you will never forget, (or maybe never be able to remember ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
