ufk22 33 #51 February 3, 2011 QuoteMy soul. +1This is the paradox of skydiving. We do something very dangerous, expose ourselves to a totally unnecesary risk, and then spend our time trying to make it safer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airtwardo 7 #53 February 4, 2011 Quote Was that an H2? My dad had one and told me stories.... No joke jumping is safer.... It was fun...a REALLY fast bike with bad brakes, poor shocks and a rubber frame. There was a REASON they called the 750 H2 MkIV the 'Widowmaker' ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3mpire 0 #54 February 4, 2011 I did sell my 30-06, but how I really paid for it was getting a second job working as a TA at night. during the winter I would work one or two nights a week for 3 ten week classes. All the money I got from that last winter paid for getting licensed last summer, and this winter's work got me a decent rig, an hour of tunnel time, and plenty of cash socked away for a summer of jumping. it makes for long days (13+ hours when you count commuting to the day job, commuting to the night job, then getting home after) but really, what are you going to do on a tuesday night in january anyway but fart around at home? I've also been looking at everything I do in terms of jumps. Getting rid of cable tv would get me maybe six jumps a month. I've got a 5.56 that could get me maybe 25-30 jumps. Pretty much every possession could be turned into jumps when you start thinking about it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryan_d_sucks 0 #55 February 4, 2011 I sold blood plasma, and my sanity. I was a paid test subject for psych experiments at the college I was attending. Then I decided that sucked ass and got a job working at Subway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NealFitz 0 #57 February 4, 2011 Quote I sold almost 2-grand worth of drums and cymbals for about $300.00. I was worth a good weekend of jumps... Besides, people who live in apartments hate drummers...so everyone where I lived was better off...I miss them now same here (mine wasnt worth 2000 bucks tho but stil sold it at a ridiculously reduced price :(Dudeist Skydiver #170 You do not need a parachute to skydive, you only need one to skydive again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DBlank 0 #64 February 14, 2011 I offered a lot of sexual favors in exchange for a parachute. Not a chick so no takers (at least who had a canopy in my size), ended up paying money, which I obtained also through selling my soul."Do you really want to take advice from the guy we call Tarmac?"
