Welcome !!!!!!!!!!!!! SMA#18

Sweet! Wished I thought of it! SMA#18

Just drove from Va Beach to NYC and back in three days, with my 13 year old son...AND spent a full day "touresting" in NYC. "I told you to piss before we left the house" "I told you to piss more before we left the rest stop" "What the HELL are WE listening to on YOUR walkman headset.. turn that crap down" "Beep.. Bepp. Beep.. boing Boing Boig.. warp warp.. warpp.. Siren Siren ... What the hell are you playing on that game boy.. turn it down!" "What the F*&K do they mean detour ahead?" Toll??? Mapquest didn't say shit about a toll here" "Can't you turn the sound off on the game boy?" "You just ate 3 hours ago...." "NO WHERE NOT THERE YET,. ANLTHER FUCKING TOLL" "I wished you where a camel.. ok ok.. I'll pullover" "Another F*&(*%G toll?" "Hell I just paid a Toll, and there's another?" "Oh shit.. ok, I know we can double back up here somewhere and get on the 295..." "are we there yet?" "shit... what are those red lights flashing behind me for?" "That's the Vet.. the worst pro stadium in all the US, and why is that cop waving at me?" "Persistant bastard... think I'll pullover and let him know I do not appreciate his ass following me so closely" "Sign right here sir?....No sir.. my fault, my kids music was distracting me.. didn't see you back there, thanks again.. have a nice day .... " "I need a Rum and Rum and Rum And Rum and Rum and Coke" "I use to think Newark Airport Sucked... flying into it wouldn't have been so bad today" "Are we there yet? I gotta pee" "Really, George Washington was a real peron they named a bridge after. not vice versa.. what are they teaching you in school?" "are we there yet" "Duck... we're in Harlem" "how the hell am I supposed to know what a "Trogs Neck" is and I have no idea why they named a bridge after it!" "are we there yet" "why did they name it Long Island?,,,, hmmm it's Short and FAT??? What are they teaching you in school? "Are we there yet?" The return trip tomorrow.. to tired to recap tonight...

Nice article! Gotta love those Beer Gardens, and you never have to worry about watering them! SMA#18

WOW SMA#18

Great response! I love freefall but I also LOVE being under canopy! I try to get at least one 3500 H&P every few weeks just becaue I love the rush, (and it re-enforces importance of flying right out of the door) But I'd love to dump at 12K and just play with my canopy flying skills. (Not just a cross country which I'd also love to do!) SMA#18

Hmmmmmm... that's good thinking. I hear even in prison.. people "targeted" for these types of crimes involving children. There are ethics, even in the worst of prisons! And if he winds up in jail, I am sure the proper word would get spread. You may be on to something here :) BUT you still risk the bastard of walking scott free if you have an incompitent prosecutor (Damn I can't spell that word) So I sitll say Lop off his jewels FIRST, that way if he "gets off" from his crime, it'll at least be the last time! SMA#18

In the world of political correctness, I suppose you are indeed on the mark with the "let the law handle it" BUT seeing as though we're all skydivers and I would venture to guess a large majority of us here would "At least" entertain the thought of a less than "politcally correct" view of this "sick fuckers demented hang him by the short hairs act" errrrr I mean mentaly distrubed act. I say we compromise! I say Let the law handle.. find his fucking balls AFTER you lopped them off and shoved them up is ass!. I think that's a fair balance of political correctness and what we should allow the law to "Handle" SMA#18

High... My son flew out to see me today.. Low.. NONE!!!! SMA#18

I just set it as my wallpaper! Awesome shot! SMA#18

3:3:3 One case of beer for first time seeing myself on video. One case of beer for doing my 75th jump (this buying beer is getting expense. I had to buy beer for my first 76th, 77th and 78th jump. Do you think they're trying to just get me to buy the beer? SMA#18

Your pencil tip is pretty much covering the entire rip, that alone merits it "not to severe" I am not a rigger, (but aspiring to be one), but you have a ZP canopy with rip-stop material, unless the snag, rip, pr tare exceedes 4 "boxes" nothing needs to be done other than monitor for increased damage SMA#18

Very glad to read about your jump here in the Forum than in "Inncedents" in Parachutest! Nice job landing it on student status!!! :) SMA#18

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I.. welll.. umm..... so... errrrr........... Hmmmm how about those Red Sox this year!!! SMA#18

I found Skydive Suffolk on this web site, I was relocating from central California and needed to find a new DZ home. I HAVE FOUND IT!!! Within 30 seconds (literally) of me walking on the DZ, I was met by a staff member (Kristie) and welcomed immediately. She gave me the lay of the land, introduced me to the locals that where there and many of the staff members. Manifest is friendly, coaches always willing to help and HANDS ON ownership by Larry and Robin. Rigging you ask.. AWESOME!!! Matched? maybe.. Better Maybe.. but none that I've seen. Student gear! NOTHING USED HERE!! ALL top quality and Master Rigger Maintained DAILY. Neither the Tandem rigs or any student gear are packed by ANYONE not qualified (or locally certified under direct master rigger supervision) to pack! Aircraft? King Air B90 and Cessna 206 which are IMMACULATE!!! Matching paint jobs and all the bells and whitles! Land area? Large and unobstructed! There are safe outs EVERYWHERE!!!!! Safety?? You don't jump a thing until the DZO or an ST&A verify what your jumping on and whether or not they think your ready to downsize.. and for the newer aggressive jumper.. this is a good thing! Trust me! Join the crowd?? With rare exception... even the novice will always be brought into RW. The way it was put to me was "Solo's are for P*%%y's get in here and do your best, we'll see what we need to work on! Freefliers? There a pleanty and always willing to work with a new wanna be freeflier! Video... As good as anywhere.. starting to offer DVD instead of VHS tapes! Facilities? Indoor packing or if you can not wait, canvass packing outdoors under shaded areas Restrooms with showers... Video.. An awesome LOFT with the best Master Rigger there is (and always willing to sit and talk about gear) Atmosphere? AWESOME! Talk about a home away from home! It's Not Deland.. It's not Perris... it's a small town DZ heaven. Everyone knows everyone and if your new (as I was 3 months ago) you'll be a welcomed member into a great family. I found the GEM of East Coast DZ's in a small little town of Suffolk, VA. If your in the area and your a skydiver or want to be skydiver, your missing a great skydiving opportunity if you do not visit www.skydivesuffolk.com

Awesome... that's hilarious! SMA#18

I agree.. that movie still spooks the shit out of me SMA#18

Do what I did... Remove the dial from the top control panel and replace everything else below it! That'll get rid of the gum! Oh.. and why save the dial? Maybe might help you feel like it wasn't a complete loss! SMA#18

0:5:2 Crap weather Friday, but I did manage to take and pass my B license test so it wasn't a total loss!!! SMA#18

I've read this thread in it's entirity and I am honestly APPAULED at the CSPA. What a bunch of ^%$%%$#@ Idiots. I am honestly thinking about writing a very pointed letter to the BOD and the President of the CSPA. Heris a list of all pertinant email addresses for anyone else that might be so inclined to write; President - president@cspa.ca Vice President - vp@cspa.ca Western Director - western@cspa.ca Mid-Western Director - midwestern@cspa.ca Mid-Canada Director - midcanada@cspa.ca Ontario Director - ontario@cspa.ca Quebec Director - quebec@cspa.ca Eastern Director - eastern@cspa.ca Board of Directors - bod@cspa.ca SMA#18

Awesome story Bill, thanks for checking in and filling us all in! SMA#18

They're reporting it's rained 30 out of the past 32 weekends out here on the Virginia Coast, when it's doesn't rain the DZ is so wet it's like landing in a swamp somwhere! SMA#18

And there in lies your primary difference between man and woman... :) Woman version of a persona add above... simplified mans add below... "SWM in search of a woman, must be a master rigger, lighter than my truck and younger than my mom. Breathing and a nice rack a plus... send pic of rig!" SMA#18

"Damn... I gotta get a new cutter for my Cypres ... AGAIN" = LOW "Damn... We really do have a small DZ down there!" = HIGH Just kidding... I've been thoroughly trained 2000 is absolute minimum.. and some DZ's do not want you pulling any higher than 3K, if so you need to report it to manifest. I'm still new but 3K is very comfortable to me. SMA#18
