skyblu3 0 #103 January 6, 2008 My drinking team has a skydiving problem. The birds sing because they dont have to pack when they land. The older I get the better I was. If your main malfunctions cutaway and open your reserve. If the reserve doesn't work, put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye. A good 4-way team going in would sound like this: SPLAT. A bad 4-way team would sound like: SPLAT, SPLAT, SPLAT, SPLAT. Remember when sex was safe and skydiving was dangerous.

GLIDEANGLE 1 #104 January 7, 2008 Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast. I heard the above in the context of emergency procedures, but I have seen it apply at other times... especially when approaching a formation in freefall. What is the difference between a bad golfer and a bad skydiver? A bad golfer goes "Whack...Damn!" A bad skydiver goes "Damn...Whack!"The choices we make have consequences, for us & for others!

popsjumper 2 #110 January 7, 2008 Quote Quote "you stupid idiot - don't do that again" Sounds like something Popsjumper would say! Villy Bance, you're an asshole. I've never said that in my entire life. But just for you, I will next time I see you. Stratostar: You're an asshole, too, for propogating Hans' bullshit lie. Besides, we all looked and agreed to go for the off landing because the pilot couldn't find the fucking DZ. It wasn't our fault that the idiot AFFI took his student out behind us without looking first. My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

popsjumper 2 #111 January 7, 2008 If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you. YOU break off at 3...don't follow me. If you see me pull, YOU fucked up. If you see the big "W", it means YOU signed the waiver. Do as I say, not as I do. No matter how hard you try, you can't dodge the planet. No matter how hard you hit it, you can't budge a planet. If you're scared or anxious, good! It tells me you're not crazy. If you're seeing blue-green-blue-green...ARCH! When you jump, pull this...if that doesn't work, pull that. BOOBIES!!!!!!!!!!My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chutejump 0 #114 January 7, 2008 "And there I was skydiving hard, and someone tried to shove a planet up my ass!" "Don't jump in the rain! It is painful! If you ever look at a rain drop it is round on the bottom and pointed on top and you always hit on the pointed side! "Don't jump in clouds! You have to land on on top of them by the time you repack to jump off the side again you are to far away to make it back to the DZ!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
