jtval 0 #1 January 14, 2003 ok we all know we hate stupid people but everyone has a Dumbass moment... can you admit it when you are stupid? I can I have no ego. I was such a dumbass this weekend. first load at the boogie we did a 6 way speed star. I was first chaser...well I was until.... as they were giving the count I felt a tug on my leg strap..."I'm in idiot go!" was my retort to the tug b/c I knew exactly what is was...MY SEATBELT!! I still made it in to the star though. and it was my first confident sit attempt! what a first impression to mkae on a group of new ppl! HAHAH! and YES its on video how stupid are you? EDIT: I lept to the back of the chaser line with no more then a 1.5 or 2 second delay!My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #2 January 14, 2003 Nice! I like to have a good laugh at myself when I brainfart and do something stupid. Atleast on the bright side, I never stop laughing...wait, that's not a good thing is it? --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Gawain 0 #4 January 14, 2003 Quote ok we all know we hate stupid people but everyone has a Dumbass moment... Hell yeah dude...in the Otter at Elsinore, SSL meet, on the way to altitude, and our camera flyer "Shin-dig" (cool dude, don't know if he lurks here) points out to me that my chest-strap was not threaded correctly. Saved my life, and he got a case of beer all for him. Not just a dumb-ass moment, but a truly absent-minded one. So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

skybytch 273 #11 January 14, 2003 Stupid? ME??? Has to be the first jump of the day on the last day of JFTC. We were climbing to altitude and as we passed through 1000 feet I realized my ProTrack wasn't turned on. Then I blew my approach to my slot and flew myself right into the red zone. Then I was so busy mentally beating myself up for screwing up my approach instead of getting set up for landing that I landed 180 degrees from the direction everyone else was landing. Lucky for me I didn't take anyone out on the approach to the formation, and I landed far enough away from others that I didn't mess up anyone else's landing, or even scare them slightly. Oh, and really lucky for me - I didn't get axed for it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

floormonkey 0 #23 January 23, 2003 One of our jumpmasters jumped out for a hopnpop- with his seatbelt still on. A camera guy was kind enough to release it for him-after a few seconds, of course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Push 0 #24 January 23, 2003 Why do they call em seatbelts if there are no seats anyway? My brainfart story - mistook the direction of the windsock. Was flying downwind in the downwind half for half the descent. Then I realize something is wrong, swear loudly, and head for the DZ. Almost made it too. Basically, I had a choice - runway or potatoes. I chose potatoes. The choice was at maybe 20 ft, so after the shallow turn I got NO FLARE. Whack. My glasses have been a little bent ever since. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

Deuce 1 #25 January 23, 2003 First 4 way at Eloy. Me, Mouth, Cornholio, and BigBen. Everybody gets in the door, takes grips, and kinda wait a second. OH YEAH, the count! I gotta do the COUNT! Crap, was is the leg out-in-GO or the up-down-OUT? So I do this kind of half-assed in up thing that they don't react to and I just get a firm grip and tear them all off the plane.
