wildcard451 0 #26 March 21, 2006 Quotewell, you inspired me to go read the other thread and i appreciate the laugh. ladies and gents, what we have here is yet ANOTHER case of dropzone.drama. for the love of god people, GET OVER IT! chris is a safety nazi, a fantastic skydiver, and a very gererous instructor who offers help and free coaching all the time. give the guy a freakin break. i have also learned not to post anything that excites you or entertains you about skydiving. for example, stories about mister bills, crw pictures, or small pushes out the door. they will certainly be over-analyzed by many people who have no athority to comment. chris, my advice to you....... don't let it rent space in your head. How were you ever able to praise him so well with his penis in your mouth? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yay!!! <<<< quick, someone put on another dublin boogie so brandon will leave town again! >>>> i'm not really "praising" chris... just speaking the truth. i've known chris for a while now and he is pretty much the cat's ass.

Floats18 0 #28 March 21, 2006 Bleh- I posted the video after coming across the link during a surfing episode gone wrong looking at packing tips. I thought the video was pretty damn funny 'cuz thats something that my friends and I would do at our DZ. I didn't mean to get so many angry fingers shaking. Skydiving is FUN! If every jump went by way of formal paperwork request and committee evaluation im sure we'd all get bored. One time I was on the step - a friend was in the door and another in the V and a fourth hanging from the strut (182) I nodded at the jumper in the door and on 'Ready' my friend in the V just tackled me and we all just fell away end over end! It killed the 1st point but it was damn funny! Thats the kind of stuff I'm talking about! I need to get back in the air - its snowing right now --- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Icon134 0 #30 March 21, 2006 My first 182 jump I didn't know how to do a connected exit off the step and my 2-way partner and I didn't discuss it because I didn't feel like calling attention to the fact that I hadn't jumped a cessna before. we had agreed that I would climb out first and he would follow... well on jump run I climbed out and he tried to explain to me where I "needed" to be in order for him to also climb out as well... this "explanation" was done while I was standing on the step... in the wind... loosing ground slowly (it was a cessna... ) well after about 1 minute standing in the wind not hearing a darn thing... I jumped off to the suprise, astonishment, perhaps even dismay of my partner... who promptly dove out after me and performed an excelent swoop to formation... Andy (popsjumper) and I laughed about it later but from the look on his face I think he might have been a bit upset at the time... Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...

DavidKing 0 #31 March 21, 2006 I thought it was funny as hell, I can't tell you how many times I have been filming the last tandem on a full load and wished I could have reached a four way or six way "stuck in the door" David Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindsey 0 #32 March 21, 2006 The atmosphere here is very different than it was a few years ago. I've seen that happen with other topics too. Things that were funny as hell before are now fuel for the fire. We keep a hammer behind the seat of the 182 just in case a student doesn't want to let go. I don't think what you did was any worse than that.... linz-- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.

mattjw916 2 #35 March 21, 2006 It's a shame the self-prophesed safety-naziis on this board, who post waaaay more than they skydive, really take the fun out of this place. Between the tandem hybrid, the "cowden" video, and skygods bitching about every little thing they can around here I'm about ready to call it quits too...

Most of us are pretty adept at it by now, and nobody's lost the hammer yet. We don't even dent the strut anymore. linz-- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.

jimmytavino 16 #46 March 21, 2006 hey don't sweat it man... what the video doesn't show.... is the realistic likelyhood of KINGER....pushing the cameraman, who got the footage !!!!!!! (kiwi? ).... i'm sure he prefers NOT having 8 or 9 Hundred pounds of BEEF hanging that far aft of his 207's wing... for that length of time....and after all it IS Kingers Place.....right????? hahahahah shrug it off the critics don't know you... i thought it was funny.....

sid 1 #47 March 21, 2006 Ssssshhhhhhhh - it looks like Chris posted and ran away. I wasn't on that load, but I did edit the video. We showed it to everyone and they all thought it was funny as hell. I'm not even going to read the shit in General Skydiving.. they weren't there, they don't know the place so I have one message for all the critics (Chris and I chatted last night) - so, here it is, from the editor of the video and the owner of the site it's posted on....... if you don't think it's funny, don't watch it! If you've got a problem with Chris, you've got a problem with me, so fuck all y'all. To those that watched it in the humorous spirit that it was intended... keep'em peeled, I have a feeling there'll be a few more funny vids this season!Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

Scoop 0 #49 March 22, 2006 Fuck it. I've been pushed out a couple of times. Not wild body slams, but enough tip me off balance and encourage me to get going quickly. I just laughed for the first few seconds then thought about what I was trying to do and carried on the dive. I wasn't even holding people up either!

sid 1 #50 March 22, 2006 actually I was just remembering (which is a feat in itself when you get to my age) a jump out of the Mr. Douglas at Palatka about 9 years ago..... I was jumping with Billy Hallett and his now wife, Kat. She climed out front float, Billy was backing out the door, and I was in the door. We all kept nodding at each other, nobody called, nobody said go, just a lot of mouthing "Ready....." "Ready...." then we went. When we got down I discovered Tim Webb's boot print on the back of my rig of course we weren't whiners so we laughed and I believe I've bought Tim several beers since then........
