Jasmin 0 #1 August 7, 2002 Skybitch's is now "the Rack"! Bbarnhouse is "Perky" (nice one!) I'm "Trouble". So what is your nickname and (more importantly)how did you get it?xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

rgoper 0 #2 August 7, 2002 i've actually been assigned two nics, one from my wife which is "RigDog" because she says if i'm not on an oil rig, i've got a rig on my back, and i reckon she thinks i'm a dog? so i can live with that one. the other, i was kind of assigned here on dropzone.com and it's "Yuppie Sky Diver" and i assigned myself the number #0001, it's the least i could do. i guess i got the nic because i mentioned i've got a C-5, then another sky diver mentioned they drove a BMW, i believe, so i assigned that person the 0002 number, who else drives something besides a dodge, or a ford? careful, we've got lot's of Yuppie Sky Diver Numbers to go around! --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dumpster 0 #6 August 7, 2002 The one I use here, is a non-skydiving nic given to me by some folks I work with - I ride a Sportster, and I dumped it in the company parking lot -- Another one is "no-pull" - The reason is known to a few persons here (you know who you are-) and at my home DZ- Easy Does It Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wlie 0 #7 August 7, 2002 Corkscrew was given by a co-worker. When I was a student I had a hard time getting past 20 sec delays because I had a built-in turn. I told him about my frustration and that's what happened. Nothing beats Hooty Mc Boob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pilotdave 0 #9 August 7, 2002 QuoteHooty Mc Boob. Ever watch the Simpsons? Thats hilarious. That one was on tonight here. Some of my (non-skydiving) friends call me Flaming Flying Dave cause of the ...ahem... bright color of my rig (which I bought used, from a man, for the record. He tells me it was a popular color in 1996. What the hell is wrong with you guys that bought gear that year?). You do not have permission to call me that though. That goes for ALL of you! If you must, you may call me the alternate version, Fabulous Flying Dave. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lippy 918 #10 August 7, 2002 The day I did my FJC we got weathered out, and the FJC instructor suggested the course, who were mostly camping at the DZ that weekend, come into the local bar. There were about 4 drunk experienced jumpers and 25 drunk FJC students in the bar, along with about 30 hicks. Long story short, some hick rides his horse into the bar, and into a drunken me, I lipped him off, and when I did my first jump the next day, I had a big-ass swolen lip Ever since they've called me lippy. So a horse walks into a bar.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spy38W 0 #13 August 7, 2002 QuoteSo what is your nickname and (more importantly)how did you get it? Argh.. people at the local DZ refer to me as Captain Cutaway...

hohonukai 0 #14 August 7, 2002 That picture is classic! Thanks for sharing. I have no original skydiving related nics...my husband calls me Island Flower, Babydoll, and his one and only true flygirl. Maybe someday I'll have a skydiving nic. (probably something embarrassing, so I'm not waiting in anticipation ) Read about Skybytch and Bbarnhouse in the other threads...but how did you get your nic, "Trouble", Jasmin?

Skystorm 0 #15 August 7, 2002 My family calls me Fielies, because of a little nursery rhyme about the fingers. Whuffo friends call me Ella and my skydiving nic is Stormy or Storm. Explains itself. Gene Police: "YOU!! Out of the pool, NOW!!!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viking 0 #16 August 7, 2002 hehe ya i didn't even know i was doing that until i saw the video and stills. Everytime i put on a jumpsuit i get shit from people about "Hey you gonna pay for that one?!" or "Hey Arthur i know sombody you can jump with *points out one the concrete blocks under the trailor*" I don't mind the ribbing its all in good fun and i just keep in mind that since i am not only limber as all hell but i am also pretty tall. Once i get this dearching thing licked i will have one hell of a fallrate range!!I swear you must have footprints on the back of your helmet - chicagoskydiver My God has a bigger dick than your god -George Carlin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skyrad 0 #21 August 7, 2002 Hey Jasmin, My nic's Lumberjack. The reason is when I did my level 7 AFF I had a very long spot from which no one made it back. I poped over a house went for a garden caught dead air, overshot and went into the woods behind the house smashing through the tree tops before coming to a stop in the top of the tree. The next thing I knew the tree gave way and snaped in two places bringing down another tree next to it. I landed in a clear meter square surounded by foilage and sharp wood which torn my canopy to bits. I walked away fine with only a small scar on my leg to show for it. My instructor said it looked like a light aircraft had gone in . When are you back in town Jasmin? Free at last gets back on monday from the WFFC. Did you hear he had a result with his FS1. Won a raffle at Hinton and turned nine points on a fourway with XL. £20 must be the cheapest FS1 in the history of Skydiving!!When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.
