riddler 0 #1 February 16, 2003 Which of your body parts has been most traumatized by jumping? For me, it's been my hair, but I'm still a youngster and I've been pretty lucky so far. Attached three files - the brown is my natural color. Last year I bleached it. And today ... well, see for yourself.Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

akaGQ 0 #2 February 16, 2003 Love the hair dude for sure. Hod you get such a light blue mine always comes out darker more of a royal blue. oh but by the way Id have to say my sinuses. I have severe nasal congestion its a natural thing and it seems that after a day of skydiving I seem to have a week of hearing loss but hey oits well worth it to me - GQ ... it was the love of the air and sky and flying, the lure of adventure, the appreciation of beauty ... -Charles Lindberg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riddler 0 #3 February 16, 2003 QuoteHod you get such a light blue mine always comes out darker more of a royal blue. I think the key is lightening it first. You have to lighten with stuff made for color changes - I used Manic Panic Lightening formula (have to get it at beauty supply, not the grocery). Sorry to hear about your hearing. I lost my voice for a week to an hard opening and a strangling chest-strap last year. It's interesting the differnent ways you can get hurt in this sport, which is why I started this thread.Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

riddler 0 #12 February 16, 2003 Quotemy wallet and/or bank account and/or credit card balances! This should be part of every DZ waiver in the legalese. Something like: "I understand that skydiving will have a negative impact on my financial situation, up to and/or including bankruptcy, quitting my job and living at the dropzone, eating bread and water to save money for jumps and more."Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

skygod7777 0 #18 February 16, 2003 it would be a toss up between my hair. i like to change colors about every week and half in the summer (purple, pink, neon yellow, blue, half and half..........) or, i have twisted my left knee like 2 times to were i wasn't really able to walk normal, i kinda limped for a couple of weeks, and had a brace (not from the doctor, i just bought one from the store). so, i'm not sure what one has been abused the most. i voted for me knee because it hurt, and from the last time i twisted it, it still kinda hurts (from november). later Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riggerrob 643 #21 February 16, 2003 Let's see? A hard pull on a 4-pin ripcord led to an unstable opening and a scar on my upper lip has never fully healed. PD-360s compressed my spine so many times that a disk herniated and every once in a while my sciatica acts up. Stalling on a Strato Star into the peas sprained my left ankle and it never fully healed. etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
