OK so it's a part of the gig? OK....I'll jump with my riding pants! I have to admit I took your (the groups) advice and did my last two tandems in shorts and a t shirt. Different! Very different! You have to understand I'm use to going fast but being wrapped up in armor so this was different.Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

But the jumping in a t shirt and shorts, I have to admit, it was comfortable. When I ride, I'm in boots, gloves, a leather jacket or a jacket that is heavily padded and padded riding pants. I've never felt those speeds with out that gear on and it was kind of nice!

mrwrong 0 #83 May 23, 2009 Hey Mr.... I'm sorry for being blunt here but... Maybe this sport isn't for you??? Since you showed up here you've managed to alienate quite a large number of folks and your general attitude seems to have qute a few "gaps", gaps that you need to fill fast as hell if you even wanna stay alive while skydiving. Just my thoughts here, not intended as a PA.... Even if it looks like it.. I might get bitch slapped by a greenie now????“The sum of intelligence on the planet is a constant; the population is growing.” - George Bernard Shaw He who dies with the most toys, wins..... dudeist skydiver # 19515 Buy quality and cry once!

airtwardo 7 #85 May 23, 2009 Quote But that aside all seem to love red Italian models regardless of age or social background... Word! Your comment about always dressing for the crash hits home with me. 25 years ago I tooled into San Diego Harley on my Super Glide wearing sunglasses, cut-offs and sandals. The biker dude behind the counter looked at me with genuine disdain and mentioned that he's spent a couple hours the other day pickin' gravel outta his buddy, and he was in leather. ...I told him his buddy is a pussy because I always pick out my own gravel! He pointed to the door and told me not to come back until I figured out what I was doing...thought long & hard about that, he was right ~ I never rode 'uncovered' again. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shah269 0 #87 May 23, 2009 airtwardo Being macho on a bike will just get you hurt. And I'm not saying getting killed. In some cases punching out is the easy way out. A year or two to recover from an accident isn't unusual. Never recovering...all too common. When you get on a bike you check your ego, your anger, your depression.......all that at the door. And everyone drops their bike. I myself didn't check my emotions at the door once and paid the price with a 65mph crash. And the ritual of gearing up helps one do all that....almost like a Vinyasa, a preparation for the road ahead. Now on my first jump I didn't notice it but you guys and gals do the same thing on your way up. Instead of zipping up and gearing up in anticipation, you guys and gals do it in your head on the way to altitude. And on my second and third jump I tried it as well and it greatly improved my awareness and really relaxed me. So, pleas ride safe, and pleas wear all your gear all the time no matter how hot it is. Sure there may be more bikers and sky divers......but your a part of both communities and well...looking at the numbers....there needs to be more sky divers in the world. Every one needs to experience this.Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Just wondering how many people they cram into that sucker now... And tell Simeon we miss him at Cross Keys this week. Quote looking at the numbers....there needs to be more sky divers in the world.

shah269 0 #91 May 23, 2009 Yes Sim was my instructor. Great guy, great instructor. I feel I got very lucky. As for the 182, there were 3 on the first jump, 4 on the second and 3 on the last. Plenty of room if you ask me. Ok the hanging around part for a ride.....what do you guys and gals do while hanging out?

I think Shah needs to realize that he's going to meet sooooooooooooo many people in person that he doesn't even know are reading his posts on here. Some may say I know you from DZ.com and some may just not say anything because they think he's a tool just from reading his posts. Skydiving is such a friendly sport. There's nothing like having fun with your friends in the air and sitting around after the beerlight at the bonfire or tiki bar having a great time. Not to mention traveling to the boogies with your friends... priceless. At the rate he's going, well, unless he meets other people with his outlook on things, he's going to be doing a lot of solos. I smell another 100 jump wonder in the making... It's easy to go along for the ride on a tandem... but if he goes through AFF, that's certainly going to separate the men from the boys... And we all know AFF definitely serves some humble pie... Always be kinder than you feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shah269 0 #96 May 23, 2009 This may be one of those Mars Venus things.....but I'm a little lost here. What did I say now? Again, I'm coming here from a different world and of different sensibilities. Both via other hobby and work environment. I don't ride with espresso drinking guys on $30k bikes. I ride with guys who are mechanics and blue collar guys and gals. Who own kegarators and tell dirty jokes over cleaning and syncing carbs. And so perhaps my terminology and my vocabulary may be different from yours and I assure you I meant no offense. Yet I think much was taken. Case in point I'm still trying to figure out what was so offensive about Chillan Sea bass comment? But I am who I am, and you are who you are and I hope we can be friends. And I hope you are not offended by Sea Bass because I can get some at a good price and the local drop zone has a BBQ and I would not mind sharing with you or any of your friends.Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

LuckyMcSwervy 0 #100 May 23, 2009 You can try to placate us by using the "different word, different sensibilities" thing, we see through it. However, I've only been around here a very short while, but I find it safe to say, IMHO, you're the most arrogant, cocky, self absorbed, mysoginistic, narcicisstic guy I've ever "met" on DZ.com. If you end up having the balls to go through AFF, I hope you get a female instructor who hands you your cocky ass on a silver platter. I've decided your skydiver nickname will be Zohan. I know I'm gonna get slapped by Skymama, but I'm done with this dude. Sorry. Always be kinder than you feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
