aprilcat 0 #26 July 23, 2004 My cousins teased me when I was a kid by calling me 'apricot' and making me cry. My auntie made it pretty & soft by changing to 'aprilcat' and she still calls me that to this day. If she called me 'April' I'd be scared I did something. But I'm glad it wasn't 'Bycthopher' ~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d_squared431 0 #27 July 23, 2004 Back in 94' when I was a snow bum and use to compete in snowboard competitions. A friend of mine was announcing a big air comp and introduced me as d2 or d_squared for short. I held my own in the competition and I guess that's why people still call me d_squared. 431 is the name of the road that you take to the resort. I am an official "431 sister."

voodew1 0 #32 July 23, 2004 Voodoo- changed to Voodew came about due to voodoo dolls getting things stuck into them. I like to stick my thing into things.

Brains 2 #35 July 23, 2004 Quotemeatbomb I am really tall and beefy, I fall fast, Brains started calling me meatbomb one weekend at the DZ and it sorta stuck. gotta represent To be fair, you got the name cause i hurt my back staying up with you while the other coach(mark) was sitflying with us and could have easily docked. A guy your size shouldn't be able to arch like that. *mumbling* freakin' 140mph bellyflier. . . Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

catfishhunter 2 #36 July 23, 2004 Only one person actually gave me a nickname on the DZ and he still calls me it "Big Money". He (Hunter) took me for my second Tandem when NO ONE wanted to (I am 6'2" 230lbs) He said if I kept coming he was going to call me goliath but when I came back the next weekend and flew through AFF he changed it to Big Money I have had many Nicks through my life.People I worked with at Ceasars Palace Still Call me DrJ when I stop in and Visit, People from my Bangin' and Slangin' days still call me Wood (you either know or you don't) Personally I don't care what you call me as long as you don't call me late for dinner MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY. Everything we do should have a greater purpose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dougiefresh 0 #37 July 23, 2004 Dougiefresh after Dougie Fresh and His Stay Fresh Crew. Apparently it was some pop act in the 80's. College friends were responsible for that one.Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. --Douglas Adams Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zulu 0 #38 July 23, 2004 My former CO gave me my nickname after his favorite warrior. Shaka Zulu. Because of my high level of ambition, my never quit attitude, and my ability to motivate anyone.zulu Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #40 July 23, 2004 The infamous Rabbit at Spaceland coined me "CornFed" short for "cornfed muthafucker" when he first met me a few years ago. Then again, I'm 6'1" and weigh 250lbs of solid muscle and beer fat (i.e. I'm not a "bodybuilder" i look like a "cornfed muthafucker" just ...big). For the longest time I was called "Tackleberry"...if you knew me, you'd probably understand. Before that I was called "Colonel" for a number of years. Once again, if you knew me, you'd probabyl understand.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

livendive 8 #43 July 23, 2004 I was "not dead Dave" a few years back. Radio station sent a guy out for a tandem and then turned it into a "war of the worlds" type gag in which the student and instructor died. Somehow that made it over to the west side of the mountains (Seattle side) and people were calling and emailing like crazy wondering what had happened, expressing condolences etc. In fact I think I was briefly on the fatalities page...and I don't think I even made that jump! In any case, that one faded away and I haven't gotten a replacement. One of our local jumper's last name is Love. His nickname is "man-boy". :-) Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"
