skyjumpenfool 2 #102 April 7, 2013 Quote .......neither of us are 'Trolls' whatever that is. If I saw a Troll under a parachute that would be awesome and I would eat more mushrooms right away Above, I made the assumtion that you are a Troll based on your posts and PM's. If you're not a Troll, I appologise for the mistake. If you are not a Troll, then you are an idiot!!! Please don't take this as a personal attack, but I'v lost way to many friends from small canopies/piss poor attitude. I also used the term DGIT. I'd like to add CWTH. (crater waiting to happn) As much as we hope that will not be the case, the arrows are all pointing in that direction. Your skills are not in question here.

hcsvader 1 #105 April 9, 2013 Quote I have to say in your defence, aimed @the OP, if one of my friends was concerned about my behaviour and approach to something, this would proper fuck me off.... Don't do this shit to your friends on internet forums, even if you are very worried for their safety, work out another way to try and be concerned without it being in public. I think it was a great way to take the piss out of him. He's a big boy and he can wear it. I'd love to be able to be there in person but I can't. He's already threaded to kill me with tequila next time we get together.

mchamp 1 #110 April 10, 2013 This is standard practice for a certain country military, no joke! The higher ranking that they are the smaller canopy they have regardless of experience. A certain commander jumps at my dz here, 350 jumps with a Velo 96 @ 2.0 and not to mention other guys jumping Katana 97's with 200 jumps at 1.8 WL (asking me what I begin my 90's at....I said 410 ft WL mine at 1.5, he then said "well that's good that I didn't do my 90 at 150ft then... LOL"). If any body says other wise they have the power and authority to literally shut down the DZ. Oh well .... have fun!For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jf951 1 #114 April 22, 2013 I REMEMBER THIS GUY!!!!! you jumped that orange and white 190 out in lodi last summer right? ...the one that you couldn't even fly a pattern with or land? from someone who's had words with this guy in person, dont waste your time. this guy was one of the worst skydivers with one of the worst attitudes i've ever met. he didnt listen to people with 10x the experience he had when they talked to him in person, and he's definitely not going to listen to you guys on here. im glad to see you at least started jumping with a helmet, who talked you into that?Jump more, Bitch less.

mchamp 1 #115 April 24, 2013 Damn you! Hate when I can't find video's any longer. But yea, totally pounding in left and right while even sometimes landing right besides dustdevils. It was truly a spectacular show of their commitment that they had in downsizing! They have a demo each year that they do for a holiday called "children's day". Needless to say, a certain branch of the military became essentially grounded from doing those demo's since so many of them have died each year without fault and the survivors continue pounding in right in front of the kids......Its quite the show IMHO I'm off to probably go get shot now......you're welcome for the info!

Andrewwhyte 1 #116 April 25, 2013 QuoteBounce Bingo is a long standing tradition. If people don't want to listen to logic, experience, and common sense, then a good old bet on when they die might just do the trick. Actually we have a different style at ESC. I have Ian's square until the pot is won. Hope I never win brother, but I wouldn't trade my square for anyone; you've been a DGIT since AFF. But I'm not saying anything new here.

Do you remember when you got drunk and attempted to jump between the roofs of two caravans? you should have assessed your landing area better and realised you were in no fit state to be leaping between temporary residences.
