Skyrose7 0 #26 December 12, 2003 I guess I haven't seen it. I have heard on one fight at a boogie, but I didn't get there until the next day, so that doesn't count. Other than that, that is why I love boogies. People are doing what they love during the day, and celebrating at night. I haven't seen too many crab-asses. I think it is "all about the love"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The mind is like a parachute--it works better when it is open. JUMP. MaryRose Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brains 2 #27 December 12, 2003 QuoteThe thing that I wonder is, ya think anyone has gotten in a fight over what went on in a skydive??? I'm really curious!! I have seen video of the national champion 4 way team Inferno, "fighting" in the air during a training jump. One guy got kicked in the head on a piece move so he slapped the guy on the head at the next point. Funny as hell to watch. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

flyangel2 2 #29 December 12, 2003 I've been to lots of boogies, and have never witness a fight. I've heard about them the next day. I guess it depends on how much you've had to drink and where you're hanging out. Skydivers tend to want to keep the fights to a minimum. What I have witness is people starting to get into it, and other people step up and defusing the situation. It's all about as you say: Quote...Spread the Love!

usedtajump 1 #30 December 12, 2003 QuoteQuote two guys with guns pointed at each other. Holy shit, tell the story!! This was in 1980 in Stephenville, TX. Now Stephenville is out in the middle of nowhere and not normally a DZ but Cy Fraziers DC-3 was there that weekend and about 300 skydivers were camped out on the airport. One guy, in a pop up camper, had a yappy little dog with him that would go nuts for about 10 minutes every time a coyote yipped making it very difficult for others in the camping area to sleep, screw, concentrate on their "high" or whatever. About 2 in the morning people started getting annoyed and yelling for him to shut the damed dog up. Finally, one guy got so pissed off that he stormed out of his tend, locked and loaded his pistol where the guy in the pop up could hear it, and yelled at him to shut the f***ing mutt up or he was going to do it for him. The atmosphere in the immediate camping area suddenly became very thick. Well.... the dog owner didnt take very kindly to this threat and stuck a pistol out the window of the camper and told him that shooting his dog would be the last thing he did. Both suddenly saw the wisdom of calming down and negotiated ther way out of the situation. The dog owner agreed to move his location to the far end of the airport much to the joy of everyone in the immediate area. Yeah, I know. It would have been more interesting if it had been about women, drug deals gone bad or anything more dramatic than a barking dog but you take what you can get. The older I get the less I care who I piss off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ripper0289 0 #37 December 13, 2003 I know Kung Fu (Morpheus says) Show me. Edit to add: I've never been to a boogie, so I'd probably be too geeked at meeting a bunch of cool people to want to fight ( and trying to talk to the skydiving girls ) Second edit to add: Tyler Durden says "Use soap" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All I know is that someone was throwing these huge green softballs at me REALLY fast and I didn't want to get hit with one casue it looked like it would hurt. But I will say they welcomed us pretty good sicne we could see where the green softballs were coming from so we knew where to go. Just like any other active runway, they got pissed when we crossed it. We tried running accross it fast but they saw us and started flashing those lights at us again. My buddy wasn't so lucky though, he landed off and the DZ people went to look for him in a jeep. Well he stepped out from the Elephant grass and got clipped by the bumper of the jeep. Needless to say, he let them know how he felt about it All said and done , it wasn't a bad boogie and I think I even have a T-shirt from that one"It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
