  1. I think its just a few people getting over sensitive on dz.com last few days. We are all people of the sky (and even outside the dz) race/religion makes no difference to me. In fact variety is the spice of life. I used to jump a lot in France and only knew one black skydiver (he was later killed in a downplane 2 out incident ) and I still haven't figured out why that there aren't more coloureds in the sport. However - it seems this isn't uncommon across the globe. Any idea why that is?
  2. My threads are important. None of them have ever been stuck!
  3. Anyone got any good excuses for stinking out the corner of the office where my desk is? That whole decrease in atmospheric pressure thing isn't working to well will my coworkers?
  4. No. But I have had the pilot insist the door on the Porter was opened and some guy jump out cos he thought it was time to go when we were still about 3 miles of the DZ!!!

    Tasteless AND funny.
  6. Do penfold. He was always the dude out of the two.
  7. This is what the internet was invented for. The rest is just background noise.
  8. I would seriously consider saving for at least a Level 1 AFF. That should give you a taste of what your after and also teach you more about the body position you are after. That 1 jump will probably give you the same freefall time as you have had to date.
  9. The kicking someone in the head is a good one and it seems quick a common mistake in that lots of people flare high when starting. Just try leaving a little bit longer each time until you start your flaring action. Then start a long and progressive movement with the toggles. If you have started your flare too high and realise slow the rate of the pull on the toggles down to reach the full flare on the brakes a bit later. Eventually it will come naturally.
  10. The internet. 9-5 with tea breaks. Rock on the world of chartered accountancy!
  11. I thought you wanted to get sick when I read the title. As in its Monday..i have a whole week of work ahead of me... and despite trawling through as many germ ridden doctors surgeries as I could find I CANT get sick..
  12. He saw two people to a California because they crossed disciplines?
  13. Asshole. Bury him in goat skins.
  14. The amount of money people pay in taxes (at least in the UK) over a smoking life is increadible and more than covers the resulting cost of treatment. I am trying to quit but I don't see any point in turning into a cigarette nazi about it. Its my body and if I choose to shove nicoteen or cocaine or what the fuck ever into it thats my choice.
  15. I'm going to have to find it some different rewards. Good brain. Good brain. Here have some beer.
  16. 3 days so far and everything is pissing me off. Not nice to be around appart from the not smelling!
  17. Got them bar the overtaking the last person one.
  18. Hows that Zyban stuff work for you? I heard it can fuck about with brain chemistry.
  19. If your a videographer there are more reasons that you should be wearing your helmet than anyone else. Thats one pointy and heavy projectile you have there in the event of a crash.
  20. 28years. Can't take that long to deprogram the brain can it. I don't know if my willpower will last 28 years!
