velo90 0 #128 February 14, 2004 QuoteThis thread is getting to be one of those tennis match type ones, watching the ball go from court to court... Actually it seems to have died a death So to collect all the comments together made in this thread I will describe my day. Got a call on my cell phone asking for my excuse why I way not at the DZ at 10 am. Replied, "See you in 2mins" Jumped out of a plane 30 mins laters, no Gun toting idiots tried to shoot me out of the sky. Jumped again with someone with less than 100 jumps, but with a license. They were wearing a frap hat Someone else jumped with a full face helmet that appears to be blind most of the time even with out the helmet. I was in one load, this is a cessna 182, only 4 jumpers, where .. Jumper A had packed jumper B's rig Jumper C had packed jumper A's rig Jumper C was jumping borrowed equipment Who the fuck was jumper D? Guess what? We all lived I was a good day , 6 jumps, beer at the end, and watched "Out of the Blue" with beamer and loud music.

Because its called rounders! American "Football" is really rugby. That's why the Australians arn't there at the super bowl.

After this accelerated training we should be able to field world class canopy pilots by 200-300 jumps for the circuit! Of course we'll have a boat load of new ambitious students waiting to fill the spots lost through attrition, injury and possibly death.
