Two words....BEER HELMET! B|



NO - do not jump a beer helmet! I tried this on jump 121, iwht a Batrak loaded with my cameras and 3 beers. The opening shock was brutal and my chin left a dent in my chest. Be safe - don't hand out bad advice to newbies.

"Almost half my jumps have been hop and packs at altitude." -

I myself have wanted to try to pack while in free fall after an exit from altitude. Can you please give me detailed written instructions on the correct procedure? Pictures would also be handy too... not all skydivers are as smart as you.

Who needs a beer helmet when you can buy a camel back that holds 72oz of fine fermented beverage.

A hop and pack is when you jump and pull immediately. As youget more experience, the jargon will make more sense to you. No one is packing in freefall. Though it may not be such a bad thing. I think packing neatly is overrated anyway and if you cna pack in freefall, good for you.

When i started jumping camelbaks ere not popular. Nowadays evreyone in Eloy seems to have one in the summer - probably just to look cool. I suspect most of the wannabes carry around empty camlbaks anyway. Who wants all that weight. Camelbaks under your rig will squirt beer down your throat not unlike a beer bong. filling a camelbak with beer flattens it. If you can do Vodka and diet Redbull do it - the regular Redbull is stickly becaus of sugar.

Of course, wait until you have over 100 jumps and cna find the DZ under canopy when buzzed. Landing off and wasted and passing out in Farmer Creepys field and waking up in his barn with a sore ass is not cool. Not tha thats ever happend to me.

You are a danger to yourself and jumpers around you doing 4way for 30 seconds from 6k. If you are going to pull high, make sure the group behind you knows.

What I really like is 179 jumps in 15 years with a 1.86:1 wing loading. Mad Skillz, I tell ya. :D


And does anybody have a clue what discipline "Sky Boxing" falls under ??



Please - have a little more respec for those who have been aroudn the sport for a while. Just because I havent updated my numbers (I have over 300 jumps now) doesnt make me dangerous.
I'm a conservative jumper and very safety conscience.

Almost half my jumps have been hop and packs at altitude. I am a student of canopy flight . and I have read John Leblank, Brian Burke and Brian Germane's articles and books many times. I think I have more time under canopy than some 1000-jump newbies. I'm also involved in many other extreme sports and I think a lot of th eattitude I used to get when I was more active was just jealousy. Hey - if you're not good enough to jump a Stiletto, why you stopping me?

Sky Boxing is a sport that was just taking off in th e90's. I invented it and introduced a coupel of people to it. It didn't get popular because some participants complained about not being able to pull with the gloves on.

maybe so, but can you land a wingsuit?:|
Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.

anyone actually know this nipple boy? just curious... I know you can read the forums and all, but seems to me like a really bored skydiver's alter ego just having some fun... I doubt a non-jumper would take the time to learn as much as he has just to mess around..

funny though... I, also, used to be a fan of the hop n packs...or hop n pops is it? oh whatever...tomato tomato...doesnt work as well when typing...lol

I was wondering the same thing. FAR to much knowledge to be a regular troll. Kinda like the "really bad" stunt flying. Takes an expert to be that bad without really screwing up.

And aren't hop n' packs just another way of saying "jump, pack, repeat"?

If you jump a Nova they can pack themselves while you're under canopy. :P

I sure hope you're back. Skydiving hasn't been the same without you :P

What she said...and a whole bunch of other replies in this thread are exactly why we need nipple boy (or at least a good imitation of him). Buncha candy-asses. :D:D:D
