  1. and if you don't like to play by the rules... just don't let SkyMamma catch you!!!
  2. just remember when your beginning... when you kick off the board FLARE!!! i sort of got messed up on one jump, kicked the board off and then didn't really get much of a flare. All on Perris style dry dirt... only one thing to say, OUCH
  3. Can I just ask, In the BPA if you want to do a tandem but are 50 or over then you need a doctor to sign the medical form, is there anything like this in the USPA?
  4. Hey, it don't matter what language you speak in the sky... 'cos excitment looks the same in any language!!!
  5. As Faber quite rightly said, this thread was setup to hear peoples personal opinions. I have been sat here watching these threads being posted and feel that a continued argument on the subject will only serve to getting people upset. Fabers' opinion is his own opinion, it is by no means a concensus amongst the skydiving community as a whole. I am sure that many other people have a similar opinion, but I am equally sure that you will also find a very large number of people who feel very differently. DISCLAIMER: This is my observation and opinion, whoever may disagree is quite a liberty to tell me in but I won't enter into an argument
  6. It would probably for one thing depend upon why they decided not to become a full on skydiver... More important I think that it would depend upon their attitude, do they take part in DZ life? try to make themselve part of the group? Are they as obsessed about jumping as everyone around them? I don't think that I'd make a conscious effort to class someone as a skydiver, but think that it would become a natural way of thinking about them
  7. I have to say jump costs, that's just because I get half price jumps at my DZ for being military (£9 not £18). However is it weren't for money then it would be a compromise between the driving distance and the DZ attitude!
  8. unstable by name, unstable by nature... anyone who wants to pin a medal to one of their balls needs to get their head checked out
  9. errr??? how does gravity help the electrons
  10. your gonna want to start locking your door @ night

  13. Might just use the exam paper to practice doodling... and then catch up on sleep... might as well us my time productivly This exam seems more concerned about magnets?
  14. you can't have missed that part about making the huge amounts of money by being a web whore using your web cam, jsut to please all those fat, middle age men
  15. I got the impression that ZeeMax did watch it maybe i've totally lost the plot
  16. Electronics exam in 3hrs 6 mins... and I've just spent the whole night post whoring (whilst glancing over notes ) ... if anybody has any worldly tips on things that might help me pass then they would be most appriciated!!!
  17. I'm lost... what soap are we talking about? not that it matters because i've not seen any in a pretty long time edit - just seen earlier post... assume we're talking bout neighbours ... guess drew doesn't work at that garage anymore then
  18. I gotta say which hangs lower... if aliens are here then they ain't bothering me, live forever... well i wont, no risk skydiving... well i jump with you - so there will always be risk, police shooting... that's america's problem, this one... isn't really all that significant!!! But which hangs lower? that is of total importance
  19. what do you mean you left the series... you can't leave us on a cliff hanger like that!!! oh well... next carbon copy will be along soon
