STOP PAYMENT ON YOUR CHECK IMMEDIATELY and mail the asshole back his canopy. Shipping and the stop payment will both cost you, but not as much as that check if he cashes it. Oh, and take two witnesses with you when you ship the thing back to him. And definitely lodge a complaint with this site, they'll be more than happy not to carry this jerk's ads anymore, they care about stuff like that. "Breaking the code of skydivers", my ass...bust his. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

I would literally hang a bell on the thing. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Amen brother, you win a can of Dapper Dan for that one! Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

And chill some wine and wear something filmy... Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Still no friggin' job Too poor to pay attention Thank God for the beach Paying for skydives For something so mystical It just seems so crass But I'll find a job Twenty bucks to altitude Keeps the riff raff out When I do get back And I know it will happen I'll bring beer for sure But now I wonder Should I have cheese with my whine ? Perhaps on a Triscuit... Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

GINA MR. YOU, WEDDING (Gina mister period. You comma wedding.) Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Nice rig, congrats & enjoy! Now quick tell me, what's black & white & red all over ? Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

I thought the title was pronounced "Jiggly", for J Lo, or maybe "Giggly" for the whole stupid plot idea. But I can't even pronounce the way you're supposed to say it - whatta gyp ! And NO, I haven't seen it, I'd rather spend the money on a beer & burger (adult happy meal). Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

But the old SCR & nSCR names would take forever. Didn't USPA briefly take over administering the Star Crest awards back around 1980 or so ? Might they still have a list in some forgotten file cabinet ? Just an idea... Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Guys have to enter 8th or later for a WSCR, also the first 8 have to be all women or the deal is off. So I don't know if guys can even get the WSCS, but then we're the guests on the ladies' dive, no ? I was kind of wonderin' what's happened to the Star Crest too, it used to be real big everywhere, now nobody even mentions it. -SCR8018, SCS-4497 Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

I made a few S/L jumps that way, but not with twill, it was already banned. Her face is timeless, change the gear and she could be from this morning. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

This is what disturbs me most about liberals. You made some good points, but then you linked the right's beliefs with "evil." That dilutes what "evil" really is, like rape, murder, genocide, etc. But who sez I'm a liberal ? I'm just totally disillusioned. Liberties can be stolen by either the right or the left. Our liberties today, the ones I'm concerned about, are being stolen by a president who stole his own election and by an Attorney General who lost an election to a dead man (Now there's something to put on his resume...). Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

I'm thinking the poets Have gone to Rantoul this week The lucky bastards Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Ranger, with your low number of jumps you should really be talking to your instructors and getting their advice on rigs and canopies they think you should try. You're really not ready for downsizing below 1:1 either, but you can get a rig sized for a 1:1 canopy, as most rigs are designed to safely accomodate the next size down, so you would have a future downsizing option before selling the rig. Good used gear will save you money and give you experience, but you could alwys buy a new reserve. Either way you go, getting the loan from your bank will get you a better interest rate AND give you the important freedom to choose whichever brand YOU want. You won't be tied in to one brand. Some of the feedback I'm hearing on this offer is that a lot of people don't think the Mirage is such an exceptional rig, not a bad one, but not clearly better than the rest either. They're at the high end of the price range for new rigs. I have to wonder why they're the only manufacturer, so far, to be making this offer. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

They now only make stuff for the military and such. You can still find their website. It's kinda sad, time was when Para Flite was the uncontested numero uno canopy maker, they "squared away sport parachuting" (from an old Strato Star ad). Their Safety Flyer was the first square reserve on the market, in '78. Their quality control wasn't always the greates, some of their canopies would start tearing out at the ribs. And then people complained about canopies not flaring well. They tried a triple riser 9 cell design for the nineties, the "Evolution", but the Sabre crushed it. How the mighty can rise and fall...

47, and THRILLED that I sometimes get carded. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

As a general rule, I never read anything that long, it has to be crap. That's not to say there isn't a strong case to be made against the extreme right. They're NOT conservative by any definition of the word. The right is authoritarian in every aspect of our lives. They want to decide what goes on in our bedrooms, whether even married couples can use birth control (I'm not talking about abortion either, these people want to throw out Griswold v Connecticutt, which legalized birth control in 1962). And yes, they are the cheap labor party. Just look in all the forums right here at dropzone for all our friends who are being laid off in this jobless recovery. There is evil afoot and it's starting at the top and working it's way down. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Do what's right, trust your own judgement. Just don't feel like you're under any time constraints. If you feel up to a jump today, then fine. If you need to wait another month, that's OK too. You will get back up in the air, just do it right. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Started in 1974, while a student. Money and logistics made it slow going, didn't get off student status 'til '75, made my 100th jump in '76. Then thhings started picking up. Moved to San Diego and started making the Perris Valley scene, jumped myself silly for a few years, even made a legal permit jump off El Capitan. Then I got bored, really bored with it and started rediscovering life off the dropzone. Discovered the woman I'd marry. Made the last jump for that era in Dec. 1980. Got married in '81, sold the rig to an eager young kid in '82, I'm sure he just jumped the shit out of it, so that's good. Never thought much about it through the eighties or nineties. The few times I'd see it were just too painful, I'd miss it very badly. But we raised two nice girls, it was worth it. Moved back to So. Cal. last year and went looking for old friends at Perris & Elsinore. "Unfortunately" I found a few and decided I just had to get back in the game. I'm so grateful, so incredibly fortunate to be back. It's more beautiful than ever. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

In a track you only have to stick a hand out a little way and kind of twist your torso and shoulders and you'll go over nice and quick. I suppose you'd probably call it more of a snap roll. It's fun. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

566 jumps in 6 1/2 years, 22 years off, 11 jumps this year. I'm unemployed or it would be a whole lot more. Soon as I get work, it will be, I just gotta hang in, it will happen... Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Did you prove this hypothesis, and make the statistic yerself....you dirty man!!!!!! haaaaaaaaa. Your right tho! I confess to making up the statistic. I could never bring myself to blunting my mind on the hundreds of videos it would take to substantiate this claim. I mean watching porn igets to be like hitting yourself over the head with a mallet after about 5 minutes. But it IS the only thing I've ever heard it called on any porn I can think of. Oh yeah, anyone thought of "the bishop" yet ? Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

AND the liver is also one of the more recuperative organs in the body. So as long as you haven't already irreversably screwed your liver, good behavior and clean living can help it bounce back. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

I started up a club at my college and we'd just drive cars filled with eager students up to the DZ for static line classes (this was the seventies). A few of them stuck it out to freefall status. Then there was this guy I worked with long ago. I finally got him to give it a try and he totally went for it. I got married and got out of the sport for a very long time, but finally came back this year. Hadn't seen my friend in over twenty years, but tracked him down and he's still jumping, has over 3000 dives ! About a month ago we got together for the first time in way too many years and actually made our first jumps together. It was huge fun. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !
