PLFXpert 0 #29 August 11, 2004 Cork: Do be freeflying (higher rate of descent) and become unstable and go to your belly or anything else causing you to go from level with whoever you are jumping with, to a hundred or so feet above them. Or worse, another set of jumpers above you. When I first learned head-down I corked; it's on video. Everyone has done it at least once but you try NEVER to do it againPaint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLFXpert 0 #31 August 11, 2004 Thankfully, we have a lot of those here in Jacksonville. The city nearly ALWAYS gives up permission to jump on the beach from the local airport and there are a couple local pilots who are always up for flying us. It's pretty cool. I, personally, haven't had the pleasure, yet, but my boy-toy usually gets to ride the "ghost load" several times a year.Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Icon134 0 #37 August 11, 2004 QuoteQuote"Grab the handles" (often accompanied by a hand motion) = Lets get the hell out of here. The hand motions associated with this also can mean to break up with or get rid of significant other i.e. "What happened?" make motion of cutting away. "Oh i see, so i guess you will be jumping more now huh" Similar/same meaning = "Pull Red" i.e. pulling the cutaway handle... usually followed by "pulling silver"... (although now a days the reserve handle is often a red/multicolored padded handle.) ScottLivin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...

Clownburner 0 #41 August 11, 2004 Featherbutt (also sometimes 'floatybutt'): A skydiver with a low mass/surface area ratio; someone with a naturally slow fallrate (or who just doesn't arch hard enough). The opposite of an "Anvil" or "Leadbutt." Hankerchief: A canopy smaller than ~100 sq ft. Anyone using one is either a 1) Swoop Lord, 2) Featherbutt, 3) or a future divot (depends on the size of the jumper and their skills).7CP#1 | BTR#2 | Payaso en fuego Rodriguez "I want hot chicks in my boobies!"- McBeth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACMESkydiver 0 #46 August 11, 2004 Quoterope-a-dope: S/L student, usually not a very good one... I've heard them called "Dope on a Rope"...not at my DZ, but y'know...just around... Oh one more...I like to piss off younger jumpers by calling them 'Junior'. i.e.: Jumper #1: "Hey Jaye, who's on this load?" Jaye: "1 airport, you and I, and junior over there." Jumper #1: "What's the kid's name?" Jaye: "Does it really matter?" -This is all spoken very loudly so that 'junior' can hear. Then when he comes over, I'll give 'em a hug and tell them I'm just kiddin' and have a good jump. (And to stay away from my handles...) Just to add for clarity: 'junior' meaning chronological age of sky-jumper. I've called my old S/L Instructor Junior once or twice, and he has over 800 jumps... That didn't go over too well...~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airtwardo 7 #50 August 11, 2004 In the old dayz... Before there were 'paid packers...' (Whatever the heck THAT means!) 'Seasoned' jumpers often had names for the way newbies packed. Some were: "Kevorkian" ~ Packing WAY to long after the 'beer light' came on. (cough cough) "Jack Daddy" ~ From the tradition of buying your rigger a bottle of Jack Daniel's 'Black' for a save.
