samgotit 0 #126 January 8, 2008 Not a quote, but a joke: How do you know if there is a skydiver in the room? He will tell you. Same joke applies to medical students. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 34 #127 January 8, 2008 Quote Not a quote, but a joke: How do you know if there is a skydiver in the room? He will tell you. It would work but most of the ones that do talk only did a tandem or one static line jump. Those are the most fun to fuck with when they are trying to impress people around them. And yes, I know it was a joke.

pinkfairy 0 #129 January 8, 2008 Quote When you jump, pull this...if that doesn't work, pull that But before you pull that, always remember to pull that other one. Yeah, the red one. Skydiving: It's not rocket science. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?

brianfry713 0 #143 January 10, 2008 If it looks like you're low, that's because you are. When the people look like ants, pull. When the ants look like people, pray. Pull when you get scared.

stratostar 5 #150 January 12, 2008 Quote"There's a note in my van" I can't remember the dudes name, but that is what he said as he stepped out the door and then tracked for the pea pit in Waynesville Ohio, he all most made it, well part of him made the peas but we're not sure what part it was, my vote was brains. You could also tell he hit in mid turn from the marks on the ground.you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
