blewaway5 0 #76 April 1, 2003 After having suffered through all of this thread I have to say this....RevJim, I found your review to be highly accurate. It's not every day I agree with the critics, but you sir nailed this one. Oh, one other thing. I'm not sure exactly what your problem with skydiving is, stylin, but if it's the fact that we like our participants to be highly trained I'm forced to come across as rude and say please go away. Maybe you're one of the worlds greatest surfers, I don't have a clue about surfing. From what I've heard about it the north shore is supposed to be a bad-ass place to surf, frought with peril if you screw up but full of fun rewards if you can handle it. A person could die there is what I've always heard. Would you, being a world class surfer, encourage me to hang out there and surf with you on a regular basis? I'm thinking no. In skydiving every jump is like that. There are no bunny slopes in skydiving, no small waves. If we wipe out we're royally screwed with nothing left to do but hope our friends don't miss us too badly. That's a big part of why everyone will keep on trying to get you to advance up the progression if you keep comeing back.

I hate to tell you where I thought that came from. Im going to stop posting on this forum before I get in trouble with someone. Requested that "stylin" be deleted from the forum, please dont post any more messages in reply to that account or to "GroundRush1" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe you can't resist playing the troll, but if I'm wrong: "Click. Creak, Slam." Hope it didn't hit you on the ass on your way out.It's your life, live it!

Boy, the stuff you miss when you don't log onto dz.com for a few hours This had to be one of the over-all weirdest threads, and it sounds like natural consequences in action. There were a lot of doors slamming. I'll keep it cracked open, but only if you're willing to look in awhile, and learn how people behave in here. If nothing else, someone who's going to the DZ to pick up girls probably has a little trouble wiht arithmetic and ratios... Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

Zenister 0 #81 April 1, 2003 he was a minorly amusing troll, but not very proficient. i just caught up on his ramblings in the womens forum..a sad plea for attention really, but at least he had the grace to leave when it was obvious he wasnt wanted.. Q: when is the last time anyone did a static line jump at eloy anyway? i dont think the school has any SL rigs they were switching most of the ripcord rigs over to boc when i went thru AFF more than a year ago..uh oh i asked a skydiving question in a troll thread ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

SkySlut 0 #82 April 1, 2003 I was watching this thread last night in "shock and awe"...I am kinda bent that he deleted his entire posts, because I am sure that there are some real gems of knowledge and enlightenment in there. Can we nominate this for one of the best threads of the year???? Great stuff, very entertaining!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great stuff, very entertaining!!! yeah... i appreciate everyone who quoted him as i was trying to catch up on this thread i missed last night. Too funny. So let's make it a habit of quoting everything the troll says from now on so he can't delete it and hide like a poser. It's people like this that hit a nerve in all of us real skydivers. he's so clueless, and he's out there telling the world he's a skydiver and it's easy. sad really. stylin, seek approval elsewhere. peacehttp://www.exitshot.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
