superman0710 0 #1 March 30, 2005 I recently acquired a NEW set of copies of Brian Germain's books "The Parachute and Its Pilot" and "Vertical Journey" (a $70 value). Since I already own these books and have no use for the new set, I have decided to give them away on the forum. CONTEST DETAILS: Take a picture (OUTDOORS), with you holding 2 things: 1) A LEGIBLE sign (can be handmade) that says "Dropzone.com" 2) A penny (to make sure it's you and not a photoshop.) Now i already see some of you running out the door still in your boxers to take a picture on your lawn. You can do that, but remember someone will try to top that, so MAKE SURE you get a cool of a picture as possible. Go to cool locations that you know of. Take a picture in freefall with you holding the aforementioned. Take a pic at the DZ with everyone and you, etc. etc. just make it COOL! RULES & OTHER MISC STUFF: - No Illegal Stuff. Don't go trespassing to win the prize only to get sangiro in hot water when they find out what you were doing. use common sense. - Winner PAYS shipping and handling (it'll be like $5, come on. ) - Submissions should be no bigger than 1600x1200 and no smaller than 800x600. - Multiple entries are allowed - Please don't enter if you own copies of both books. IF YOU OWN A COPY OF EITHER BOOK, PLEASE NOTIFY ME AND WHATEVER BOOK YOU DO NOT OWN I WILL SELECT A RUNNER UP AND DISTRIBUTE THE PRIZE ACCORDINGLY The contest is over at 12pm EST on MONDAY, APRIL 4, 2005.. This gives you all time to head out to wherever you want to go to take your pics. POST ALL SUBMISSIONS IN THIS THREAD GOOD LUCK! ps. Mods, sticky please.

Rebecca 0 #5 March 30, 2005 Are you always sarcastic? He already owns them and is giving the extras away - nice offer!! you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christelsabine 1 #6 March 30, 2005 QuoteAre you always sarcastic? He already owns them and is giving the extras away - nice offer!! Rebecca, no! I am not. But: If feel surprised if such an absolute beginner is beeing too kind and selling things he really should use for himself. (BTW:Why did he purchase a lot of them?) I am a beginner too, but would not spread my books all over the community beeing a bloody beginner with just 3 tandem jumps or similar on my account. That sounds weird, somehow. And that's all.

superman0710 0 #7 March 30, 2005 i already read "the parachute and its pilot" from end to end, it's been very useful even for my tandem jumps (canopy control, landing pattern, etc.) i haven't read "vertical journey" because its about freeflying...a discipline i'm not skilled for yet. i'm still keeping both for reference. secondly, i'm not selling the extra copies, i'm giving them away for free. let me provide a picture to illustrate what's going on. i have 2 sets of these books. i'm giving one away FREE.

Rebecca 0 #8 March 30, 2005 Meh. He's giving them away and trying to make it fun. Why would he need two copies? I understand your point though. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please feel free to reply to my posts and pm's, but only if you're smart enough to understand what they really mean. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

superman0710 0 #21 March 31, 2005 i don't get why stickies are so taboo. it's just like a post-it to help everyone remember. imagine getting all worked up about putting a sticky on your fridge, lol. but w/e if not, we'll keep it bumped to help everyone remember. now get out there and take pics!
