diablopilot 2 #28 March 1, 2009 Footnotes: *1. You're never so good that you CAN'T go in. Oh and people went in without video plenty. Of course video cameras were a lot more rare. *2a. You don't have to pretend shit. You can think it sucks that someone went in, and still not like them.*2b. Eat. *3. What is the preoccupation with video? *3.12b. Yer fookin' soft lad! *4.01 AND they get the front float slot. IF they fuck it up, they buy beer. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

diablopilot 2 #29 March 1, 2009 Rule 9. First one to the crater gets the to keep the good stuff.

popsjumper 2 #34 March 1, 2009 Always be prepared to exit before boarding a Lodestall. 0.5 seconds before exiting on a static line jump, hand your jumpmaster the hook end of a fake static line. If you are ex-military doing your first AFF jump with a single-harness, dual parachute system, grab your belly reserve on exit with feet and knees together. When jumping with Futuredivot, wear weights....lots of weights. When jumping with Andy_Copland, wear armor....lots of armor.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy_Copland 0 #36 March 1, 2009 Rule 97a: If when completing the 100th jump, the person even attempts to avoid pie, they forfeit their cut-away handle half way through their next jump. The person pulling their cut-away handle is then required to wave it in their face and laugh.1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit. Until morale improves, the beatings will continue.

ChangoLanzao 0 #38 March 1, 2009 Rule 97 (b): If you have an extra cutaway handle, take it with you the next time you get on a load where there's a serious big-way. On jumprun, wait until the light turns green and suddenly hold it up and shout, "WHO'S IS THIS!!???" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No_Phear 0 #39 March 1, 2009 Rule 7: Thou SHALT fart on the way to altitude. Rule 7a: After completing rule 7, blame it on someone else. Rule 7b: If sucessfull in placing the balme on someone else, demand that they exit the aircraft immediatly. Tact is not my specialty.....

airtwardo 7 #40 March 1, 2009 Rule 71.01(a): Any and all skydiver 'pranks' shall be assigned time designations regarding the period of time prior to being considered funny. Range of time varies according to what, when, where & who the prank is targeting. -Pimping a 100 jump wonder with a bad spot is immediately funny. -Turning off the fuel selector in a 182 prior to exit is a month. -Going low on a big-way blot only to fake a 'wave off' and throwing out a bright red banana under the formation...usually takes a few years. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 2,997 #41 March 1, 2009 Axiom 11: The more they talk up their mad skillz, the less likely they are to have them. The best skydivers out there don't need any talking-up. Axiom 12: The more people a new jumper asks about one of their decisions, the more likely they are to be seeing the advice they want to hear. Axiom 13: There is indeed such a thing as a dumb question, but getting hurt because you didn't ask it is even dumber. Axiom 14: Beware the jumper who proclaims he is an expert in his field. It can take years for jumpers to learn just how little they really know. Axiom 15: When organizing any larger dive, beware of the new-ish good looking woman that several people vouch for. It is possible they are looking at attributes other than her skydiving skills. Axiom 16: When teaching very new skydivers, it is important to answer the question they need the answer to, not the question they ask. Axiom 17: Beware the skydiver in the Bell helmet.

skybill 22 #44 March 3, 2009 Hi Pops, Besides a T-10, would you consider an early 1950's vintage "Fashion Frocks" 28' Orange and white candy stripe C-9 canopy with any of the usual (LL, TT, T-U) modifications and with or without the bathtub dye job a qualifying canopy as you mention with or without patches either sewn on or 100MPH tape????SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
