wildblue 7 #28 July 18, 2002 QuoteHave you ever had a couple skydivers in the car and lean out the window, look down and scream out spot corrections? "5 left!" More than once! It really gets bad when you start "docking" with other cars that are filled with skydivers.... it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slappie 9 #31 July 18, 2002 QuoteDriving down I-90 w/ my helmet and goggles on is pretty damn fun but if your going for dork points then going into the local 7-11 beligerent(sp?) wearing my bonehead and buying a porn makes me a pretty big dork. I'm going to have to pass the Golden Trophy for Dorkness to Slowfaller!! He takes the cake on Dorkness!! Unless it can be topped?

skymut 0 #32 July 18, 2002 It's alright. I've been a dork for years now, really doesn't seem to hurt that much. Matt A well-informed person is somebody who has the same views and opinions as yours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moodyskydiver 0 #33 July 18, 2002 Yep, typical dork...typical skydiver. "...just an earthbound misfit, I." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #34 July 18, 2002 QuoteUnless it can be topped? When my new container arrived I was still a month or so away from getting back in the air. So I put on my new (unjumped) RW suit, put the (empty) container on over it, snugged up the legstraps and walked around the house raving about how comfy it was and how well it all matched. Personally I didn't think this was dorky at all, but my son insisted that it was. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gale 0 #35 July 19, 2002 I must admit, I've done the same thing now that my "pre-second" jumpsuit just arrived. It's beautiful, and yes there will be pictures soon I'm trying to decide what I should wear under it for its innagural jump. Nothing? Something? I'm thinking purple bustier and matching undies. (My jumpsuit's purple and black) But maybe that's a little over the top. (By the way, the thought has occured to me that if I get injured and have to go to the ER with nothing on under my jumpsuit I might be a little embarassed. I know, that should be my biggest worry, right?) GaleI'm drowning...so come inside Welcome to my...dirty mind Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jessica 0 #36 July 19, 2002 When I first started jumping, I would completely gear up and practice floating exits off the back of the sofa. No worse than singing in the shower, I think.Skydiving is for cool people only Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why not post a pick of yourself on your undies then one without them and we would be able to make a better decision.

jfields 0 #40 July 19, 2002 Quotepost a pick of yourself on your undies then one without them and we would be able to make a better decision The selflessness exhibited by my fellow skydivers is amazing. Look at what John is willing to do to help. Amazing. I think I will follow his noble lead and volunteer my services as a clothing consultant as well. Pro boner.. I mean, pro bono, even.

Jasmin 0 #43 July 19, 2002 Quote I have to admit this. When I first got my bonehead I wore it down 288 at about 75mph with my head out the window. I also had my goggles on!! When i got my 2nd rig (the first was knicked a week before my conversions) I slept with it in my bed....is that normal?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."

Deleted 0 #47 July 20, 2002 Gladly. He was one of those I met on the internet. Hell of a good guy. Drinks ALOT, and I do mean ALOT! But a damn good instructor. Now, the other people that know him do tend to think he's a dork, and I admit, he can be at times, just never in the air. Seeing as I have drank with him on numerous occasions, and seen how dorky he can be, I was hoping it didn't rub off. Damn, too late. Been jumping my pink canopy in my pink trimmed rig, with my pink pilot chute. I must be a dork too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deleted 0 #50 July 20, 2002 Whoa there.....nay on the gay. It was CHEAP! Can you say poor, suffering skydiver? Can you say a rig that's jumpable, and quite fun (Sabre 135 @ 1.34) for under a grand? Would you stoop low in the color department if it meant you could jump instead of watch? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
