Especially, since her neighborhood probably has more population than your entire province.

That would probably be true. The city I live in is about 700,000 right now. And it's the land of stupid drivers. I follow them all to work everyday.

Can I send the all to you???

Oh Mr. Officer, you can see me on MySpace.com but my profile is private... if I give you a peek, would you revert from giving me fine to thinking that I am just FINE ?

yes you are correct mr. medic

Strangely enough they are called STOP signs for a reason, not go slowly signs and not Give Way signs

There ya' go! That cop probably did you a big favor. I'll be honest, it scares the crap outa me, seeing someone driving down the street, juggling a large Starbucks and a cell phone.

New Mexico cops are wierd. It depends on who stops you as to if you get ticketed or not. True story:

Long, straight road horizon to horizon, no cars. Cop coming at me and finally gets close enough to see that it was a cop. Too late to slow down. Cop turns around and pulls me. "I clocked you at 110," he says. "Ooops, nobody around. Just freewheeling", says I. He says, "I know there are no other cars around but you really need to slow down so you don't kill yourself."
No ticket.

T-intersection, no cars within sight either direction for miles (well, except for the cop parked a mile away on the side of the road). I rolled the stop sign. He pulls me over and gives me a ticket taking 45 minutes to do so and still no other car ever came in sight.
$85 ticket.

My reality and yours are quite different.
I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

i looked before i rolled through in first gear.

So anyone who understands that you have to be driving around 5 miles an hour in 1st...

That's what the clutch is for.

Okay I am going to throw my .02 in. This is not directed at anyone in particular, but rather some food for thought. Yeah I know...you're all pretty full about now

If people are driving, running stop signs, talking on cell phones, smoking, not payng attention and the like, it is clearly a disregard for the rules in place which are for the most part there for your safety and that of others.
IF this is the attitude that one carries...then what makes a person think it won't carry over into canopy flight?
Poor choices are still poor choices. Careless disregard is still careless. Common sense isn't common and I guess that goes to common courtesy as well.

Thought I'd stay out of this nonsense but this has got me. I don't exactly follow the rules when driving and that makes me an unaware canopy pilot????

There are many stop signs that I roll through just like the originator of this post. This is exactly the reason I don't post serious issues on here anymore. Everyone on here just wants to nit pick your shit. Like you stop at every stop sign. And I'm not saying blow through the damn thing I'm saying California stop. Actually now that I think of it, you skydive in California you are a bad canopy pilot according to some people. What kind of logic is this. Hey I missed once when peeing, that means my accuracy in landing sucks???
Listen skydiving is skydiving and driving is driving. Sure some people have tendancies but come on. I drive like a maniac and I bet one person that has seen me fly my canopy to come on here and say he is a crazy bastard under canopy. There was the one time I self induced line twists at about 800 feet, which was actually and accident and that is about as crazy as it's gets with me.
Your correlation is way off sorry and my rant is over.

Maybe it's because it's monday.

Sorry of you don't happen to agree, and perhaps the anology wasn't the best.
I was hoping that people would understand it's about attitude. I can only offer what I've experienced..time and time again.

And to set the record straight...I have never rolled through a stop signHope your Monday gets better

[simplyputsi 0]

I'll give you that attitude can correlate. I don't think easily so though.
And if you've never not stopped fully at a stop sign good for you. You do realize definition of stop is to cease all forward movement? I kid, I kid.

It's all sunny outside and I'm stuck working. It's a trend I think.

If you would re-read my post I said...I have never rolled through a stop sign. This means I come to a full stop at the stop sign. Yes I am rather anal about it...I even count to 3

Years ago a person I knew was driving home New Years morning still under the influance from the party. He plowed into a cop car waiting at the stop light. When the officer tapped on his window he said " Boy it didnt take you guys long to get here". Needles to say he didnt get to watch any football games that day from his cell.

hahah Omigod . I just got pulled over for the first time in my life.

He was behind me the whole time as i rolled through 4 stop signs and yapped on the phone with my buddie.

AHHh that was scary!

[raised eyebrow] Pull over if you're yapping on the phone and can not pay attention to driving.

Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.

I'm not trying to be rude, really. Just consider this a 'public service announcement'.

You're coming off as a very immature child, which I'm sure you don't want to be. Being ditzy won't get you as far in this sport as being an adult... trust me. All being ditzy will get you is oggles from the equally mature guys.

Seriously, this is an adult sport in which being ditzy can cost you your life, you'd do better acting it.

Personally, I would never jump with someone who didn't act like an adult - attention to detail and seriousness are sometimes the only things that can save your life.

Quite the parody. Honestly you've got me. I'm just too ditzy to get myself out of this one.

If you think I come across that way, than fabulous. I'd rather come across as an immature child that wayyou'll always underestimate me.

I'm glad you know which prep schools I did or did not attend, my SAT scores, my abilitly @ the dropzone.

Adult sport? That's grand considering people on this forum rarely act as an adult.

Don't be upset that other people besides you and your possee find me interesting. Have you any clue how many people have contacted me telling me they are from my area and giving me great advice freefly topics etc.

Personally, I can't wait to jump with you. I might just give you a run for your money.

I'll be accepting a 500 word essays in my message box.

Please include all personal attacks.
Compare and Contrast how accurate "coming across online" and actual personalitly in real life are.
A list of the "people " you would jump with and why.

And last but not least:

Please include a full report; if any, of other hobbies or intrestes you have besides whoreing yourself out on this fourm.


savvy?
