Kirils 1 #1 December 3, 2002 Could anyone explain the Muff Brothers thing? I was at the Goodtime boogie in Parkman this last July and there was a lot activity where the Muff Brothers were mentioned."Slow down! You are too young to be moving that fast!"

skymama 37 #2 December 3, 2002 They defy explanation, but for more information go to: www.muffbrothers.comShe is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomAiello 26 #3 December 4, 2002 When I was learning to jump, at MB #1's home DZ, there was a very common saying: "You'll be awright, you got your muffs on." I'm still not sure what it means, but every now and then I toss it out at exit, just to see who laughs.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #4 December 4, 2002 I love my muffs. I am gonna permanently attach them to my oldest frap hat. Chuck yes, I am a muff brother Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kirils 1 #5 December 4, 2002 Well, I'm still in the dark. Is a muff just a name? Are there muff sisters? Do you wear a muff? Can you smoke a muff? Do you eat a muff? Can you pull a muff over your ears? Does a muff "muffle" your voice? Can you get "muffed" off? Any assistance in solving the muff mystery is appreciated."Slow down!

SkymonkeyONE 4 #6 December 4, 2002 go to the website. The simple answer, though, is yes, we jump with ear muffs on our head in order to get a number, then regularly afterwards if we feel like it. It is a band of layed back, in it for the fun, skydivers who get together at boogies and party and jump together, exactly like the Rodriguez Brothers. As a matter of fact, the two bands are very similar and many, many people are members of both loose-knit organizations. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chief 0 #7 December 6, 2002 In case you could not bring up the web site, here it is for you: Muff History Dennis McGlynn, Steve Jester, Jeff Miller and I made the first muffdive in Longview, Texas 11/1/1986. Dennis Is mainly responsible for the momentum of Muffbros, He used to wear some pink earmuffs around the drop zone in between jumps, Jeff started calling him muff brother and I guess it stuck, That's pretty much how muffbro's started, and the rest is history.

I'm M.B.#2990 at the Rantoul WFFC We did a "magic Carpet" jump as some us us were inducted. We hit an average speed of 201mph and my muffs made a nice cut into the back of my ear but, it was worth it. All Muff Brothers jumps are about FUN, no egos and smiles with friends around the Globep.s.

Skydiver40TN 0 #9 July 12, 2003 I became a Muff at Quincy 2000, on my 295 skydive, jumped with Papa Muff himself. Muff Bro's is about fun, no pressure skydives. If you dont get in, no one gets mad, dont take yourself too seriously, jump with up and comings, show em a good time. If some one at the DZ yells "HEY ASSHOLE" all Muffs turn and say "What!"

bobsled92 0 #10 July 12, 2003 Yep, I'm reply "WHAT?", with pride now. the Muff JUMPS in did with Johnny Gates, @Rantoul, were the more remembered ones. My home Dz friends kept me busy and I honestly preffered the Muff over the "practice competition" RW.

Skydoug 0 #11 July 25, 2003 I got my muff # (515) somewhere around 1993 with the dubious honor of having Steve and Dennis as my inductors. The video is one I will always cherish. Hey guys, if anyone from here jumps with them, tell them Doug Ackerman from Lodi says "hi!" --Doug-- ~~See ya in the clouds!~~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I started jumping in 1967 and a phrase going around then was "No sky to high ,no muff to tuff". That would answer your question about eating one. while not actually swallowing it.Never got my nymber wish I did though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
