skygirlpc 0 #1 August 15, 2002 So I was just wondering, with being a newbie and all. Will I ever get over the desire to wear my skydiving t-shirts all the time? Is this a dorky newbie habit? Will I always want to talk peoples ears off about skydiving? Does it ever pass or should I invest in a whole "skydiving wardrobe"? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildblue 7 #2 August 15, 2002 I've already had one person ask me: "Do you own any none-skydiving related clothes?" I said, "My work clothes" (or course, I actually now have one shirt that I can wear to work) And be prepared, most of your non-jumping friends and relatives will some day ask you to shut up about skydiving. That's ok though, that's why we're on dz.com. See, HH is doing his part to save families and relationships. You should all go buy him a beerit's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blondeflyer7 0 #3 August 15, 2002 Keep your desire.........thats what its all about! Have fun with it and keep your excitement Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hobbes4star 0 #4 August 15, 2002 no i don't own any other kind of shirt...if fun were easy it wouldn't be worth having, right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,009 #5 August 15, 2002 >Does it ever pass or should I invest in a whole "skydiving wardrobe"? Eventually you will have a whole skydiving wardrobe anyway, and you'll get sick of it. It's a natural part of progression in the sport. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanuckInUSA 0 #8 August 15, 2002 LOL ... you still going on about that road atlas? Exactly what did he do to owe you this atlas (enquiring minds need to know). Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunshine 2 #9 August 15, 2002 QuoteLOL ... you still going on about that road atlas? Exactly what did he do to owe you this atlas (enquiring minds need to know). I bumped up the thread yesterday that explained the whole thing. (Weekend Numbers, Skymama was the author) He always promised me a road atlas since i get lost so often. Then he changed his story and said he wouldn't buy it for me unless i traded canopies with him. Well i traded canopies and still no atlas. Now he says he won't buy it for me til i give him my mini bag. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!

CanuckInUSA 0 #10 August 15, 2002 Well if you did indeed trade canopies, then I think he owes you an atlas. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebazz1 2 #11 August 15, 2002 There will be a point were you will not want to advertise that you are a skydiver because it will only bring you grief...... Work Airports Family and Whuffo get togethers etc. I becomes a pain in the boot......... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #12 August 15, 2002 Speaking of t-shirts, Jump for the Cause has a great looking t-shirt out now. I just bought one last weekend from arlo. I'm sure the Bytch could set you up with one too if you want one.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JDBoston 0 #13 August 15, 2002 Speaking of t-shirts, I saw one at Square Three a while back that was like "mental disorders & skydiving" or something and on the back it had a top ten list of some sort with different mental disorders. Like: Depression: It doesn't matter if you pull, it probably won't open anyway. Multiple personality disorder: Have all of your personalities pull for you. Etc. etc. I really wish I could remember the other ones. Has anyone seen this one recently or know where I can get one?? If so PM me. I'm kicking myself for not buying it before. I mean, what's more amusing than debilitating mental problems? Too funny... Joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScottishJohn 25 #14 August 15, 2002 I saw a good T shirt recently but it wasn't a skydiving shirt. It said "If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkydiveMonkey 0 #17 August 15, 2002 I'm after a bike t shirt I saw that reads "It went earth, sky, earth, sky, earth, sky, AMBULANCE" ____________________ Say no to subliminal messages Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbarnhouse 0 #18 August 15, 2002 I saw this on a TM's shirt. "Human Amusement Ride" too damn funny. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dumpster 0 #19 August 15, 2002 Well - Back to the original post - people now know better thatn to ask me about the weekend, my collection of Harley t-shirts is slowly being replaced by skydiving t-shirts - Actually, I still buy Harley t-shirts, too, and wear them to the DZ - I wear Skydiving t-shirts to work. You will talk to anyone about skydiving any chance you get. There's a joke- Q. How do you know there's a skydiver in the room? A. They'll tell you. Don't worry - you're one of us- You'll be fine! Easy Does It Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sar911 0 #20 August 15, 2002 There is somthing to wear that is not skydiving related??? I don't belive it!! It's folk tales!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VivaHeadDown 0 #21 August 15, 2002 The nice thing about skydiving is that if you register for boogies...you'll never have to spend another penny on shirts for the rest of your life. Start off with the range of FreeFly and Swoop shirts, then there's the PoPs shirts. Shirts and boogies for all ages and sizes (S,M,L,XL...)

moodyskydiver 0 #23 August 15, 2002 It does tend to become a wardrobe after awhile. (I think I'm still safe b/c I only have about half a dozen.) As for talkin about jumping...I dont think I'm gonna stop that anytime soon. Heh,my family is like "Is there anyway we can get you to stop talking about skydiving?" My response: "Sure,give me money to jump and you wont hear me talking about it b/c I'll be at the DZ doing it." hehehe! So far, that has actually worked and bought me about 5 jumps now.

spinmaster 0 #25 August 16, 2002 I've had a DZ.com t-shirt for two months. It's already faded to a light blue color. Not that is cheap or anything. I've just had to was it about 6 dozen times already. Do I think it's not "cool" to wear everywere? No! I am by far the coolest of my non-skydiving woffo friends. I don't care how tired they are of seeing it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Prev 1 2 Next Page 1 of 2 Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
