AggieDave 6 #26 March 15, 2005 QuoteMy question was basically the same as: 'you think a ball gown is better looking than a pair of tight jeans', but it's drifted towards 'trying to be cool will kill ya' which I in no way disagree with. Nope, I understood exactly what you meant, you've misunderstood me. I'm honestly saying it doesn't matter how "cool" something looks. Whats cool to me is the skill for each thing done. I don't care if you look like a cool FFer or a cool RWer with all matching gear and the latest gadget. If you fly like shit, you fly like shit and its very uncool. Even if you're safe, fine your safe but you still fly like shit.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freakydiver 0 #28 March 15, 2005 Cool to me is the person on the DZ who doesn't give a shit what type of flying you are into OR how you look. I've been to DZs that look down upon people just because they don't look cool, and that just plain sucks big giant donkey balls. -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." -- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maggotry 0 #31 March 15, 2005 Quote Nope, I understood exactly what you meant, you've misunderstood me. Alright fair enough QuoteI'm honestly saying it doesn't matter how "cool" something looks. Whats cool to me is the skill for each thing done. I don't care if you look like a cool FFer or a cool RWer with all matching gear and the latest gadget. If you fly like shit, you fly like shit and its very uncool. Even if you're safe, fine your safe but you still fly like shit. That's my opinion too. However it's a tangent to what I inquired about. Maybe my question was badly formed and stupid - I do that all the time. I ain't arguing with you here. I'm in complete agreement with what's been said in this thread and you've articulated my own opinion pretty well. I'm also aware I'm seriously backtracking in an attempt to clear up some conceptions people could get from interpreting the question in a way it was not intended but I got myself to blame for that one. It was a light hearted question of visual prefence wrt clothing, nothing else. You understand what I mean I'm sure. I didn't intend to imply a shitload of things. Heh, now I'm on the defensive for putting up a rather silly badly worded poll about style which is pretty ironic considering I have none . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Orchid 0 #39 March 15, 2005 Who's cooler is a matter of individual opinion. Personally, all skydivers are cool to me: from freeflier, formation skydivers, students, instructors, etc........why...b/c we all share the same passion...be it speed, adrenaline or whatever rings your bell (in this case looking cool). It really doesn't matter what we do in the air......when we land safely on the ground.....WE'RE all SKYDIVERS....!"Love is doing small things with great love."

SkiD_PL8 0 #41 March 15, 2005 [rant]Wow, ok wish I had caught this thread at the beginning. This is ridiculous. Looking cool does not get you killed! The question was "what is more visually appealing" and you guys turned it into a big safety thread as usual. Get the fuck over yourselves seriously. Just because you guys have tons of jumps doesn't mean you need to jump in every single thread and whine about safety.

happythoughts 0 #50 March 16, 2005 QuoteQuote That is SO wrong on sooo many levels. That woman needs to be slapped Poodle owners do as a general guideline. The lady next door to my dad bought one. She was trying to pick a name. I told her she needed one with dignity... like Figaro. She stands out there and calls him in, "Figaro...Figaro" My fav practical jokes are the ones that people do to themselves. This one is like the gift that keeps on giving.
