Andy_Copland 0 #1 February 15, 2007 Him - How many jumps you got Me - About 70 Him - Wow so you're pretty old hand at it then? Me - Fucking Pro mate, not many make it this long you know? Some look at me like a Hero and some are just down right jealous. Its a shame really because i love the sport but with this many jumps you tend to alienate yourself from the average jumpers 1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit. Until morale improves, the beatings will continue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mangledspoon 0 #8 February 19, 2007 Someone said that to me when I had like... 8 jumps or something. I was still going through freakin' AFF so I thought that was pretty hilarious... I still find it hilarious when they say it now.. I'll probably still find it funny with 1000 jumps... I'm sure I'll still feel like a newbie then.

NickDG 23 #12 September 1, 2008 >>Favourite Whuffo ReactionI've told this one before, but . . . A father at the DZ for the first time watching his son dirt diving a RW formation.

Baksteen 84 #13 September 1, 2008 This is not personally directed at you Andy, but a blanket statement. Fitting shoes and all that.To the average whuffo the idea of skydiving is so.. alien, that they cannot imagine someone doing it ten times - let alone 2000. Making fun of whuffos does nothing for our sport, nor does it reflect well on yourself. Maybe, just maybe people are just trying to express an interest in something they have hardly ever heard about, but are doing the best they can to uphold their end of the conversation. As to the idiots, the wannabees and the pretenders, laugh and bash ahead.

Gato 0 #14 September 1, 2008 This happened last thursday: After work, I took my laptop to the gym where my best friend works to show him some footage of one of my jumps (3rd freefall). He's an MMA fighter, and he'd been asking to see me jump for awhile. While we're watching it, one of his trainers comes in, a big muscular dude who you can tell could just rip you to pieces. He gets one look at the video and says, "You guys are fuckin' crazy, jumpin' outta airplanes. You're fuckin' nuts!" What I find funny about this is that both of these guys fight with ZERO health insurance, and one of them is married with a 1-year-old baby. There is no way in hell my wife would ever condone me getting into a cage match, even though I have training, AND we have great insurance. She has no problem with me jumping, however.T.I.N.S.

futuredivot 0 #15 September 1, 2008 Quote She has no problem with me jumping, however. While the ground will always be there to let you know if you screw up-It's not likely to chase you down to whip your ass like a cage fighter will.

sartre 0 #24 September 2, 2008 Today was my first day at the new job. As I sat doing paperwork, I could hear another employee having a loud conversation about skydiving with one of the residents of the nursing home. "Yeah, if I were going to skydive, I'd do it over the ocean. It's a lot safer; that way, you can't get hurt landing. There's this really cool movie called "Point Break"....." he continued on, describing the cool things Patrick Swayze and the others did in the air. It's been a really long time since I've seen Point Break, but I think I'll have to watch it again sometime soon. The first time I saw it, I was a teenager and I was just enjoying the eye candy! I'd never entertained the thought of jumping out of an airplane myself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baksteen 84 #25 September 21, 2008 whuffo: So, how much do you pay for a skydive then? Hmm.. so that's 24 euros plus 12 euros gear rental until you have your own? Having sex is a lot cheaper (hur hur hur) that amount of dough will almost buy me a cheap hooker! me: With skydiving the orgasm lasts a minute..
