Kris 0 #12 April 15, 2005 I forget where I heard this one, but it goes something like: After a particularly bad landing, an instructor was overheard saying to a student, "That landing would have been perfect if you'd finished it by catching on fire and exploding."Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adamUK 3 #18 April 15, 2005 From the jumpmaster of one load after sorting out the exit order and landing pattern, came out with "...and for Christ's sake, will nobody f**king die!!" Cracked us up since it was totally unexpected and he had a look of (feigned) injured concern on his face when he said it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not a quote, but a "moment": I saw Brian Germain at the SoBe Boogie (first and only) do a handstand in the packing hangar... and while he was upside down, someone (don't know who it was) ran up and PANTSED HIM! Later that evening, he gave a canopy control seminar, and when he showed up to introduce himself and start the seminar (keep in mind, I had about 30 jumps and new NO one, so when he got pantsed he was just another dude to me), I said, "Hey, you're the guy who got pantsed!" Brian's cool; he took it in stride with a sense of humor and said, "Yeah." LOL! -Jeffrey-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Punky_Monkey 0 #24 April 16, 2005 Here's my favorite....Don't know who wrote it...But I am trying to live by it...Puts the door monster in perspective... "I have not ceased being fearful, but I have ceased to let fear control me. I have accepted fear as a part of life - specifically the fear of change, the fear of the unkown, and I have gone ahead despite the soundings in my heart that says: Turn back, you'll die if you venture too far." I have another that goes something like this... "You may never get rid of the butterflies but you can teach them to fly in formation."******* Punky Monkey You may never get rid of the butterflies, but you can teach them how to fly in formation Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
