Agian with the troll? What is the matter with you guys? If you don't want my advice and years of experience just skip my posts. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

I agree totally. WTF?!! What happened to respecting the commander in chief? He might have been responsible for fu*king up that reporters city and country but its not like he menat to do it on purpose. And Congress approved it right? Why not thow shoes at them? Its like the time I thought my ex-girlfriend was cheating on me and trashed he place. I thoght she was fuc*king my friend Dave and so I took a dump in her fish tank, got a mutt to fu*k her poodle, painted her bedroom purple, supergllued her dvds into one giant stack, tossed fish into her ac duct and left an ounce of herb in her car. She was seriously pissed at me though I tried to tell her it was because of my love for her. Women and Iraqis! Cnat appreciate a good thing when they have it. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First!

Hi all - new here but have been skydiving for a while almost as long as I hav ebeen voting. I voted for W both times but this last incident makes me glad hes not running again. If he can piss of a journalist enough to throw both shoes at him, he must be a real d-bag. I mean did anyone think about what happens to that reporter when he has to walk home barefoot? I havent been to Baghdad (though I love Moroccoan food), but I see on TV that the roads are pretty dusty. Hope hes got a tube of gold bond. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

NO - do not jump a beer helmet! I tried this on jump 121, iwht a Batrak loaded with my cameras and 3 beers. The opening shock was brutal and my chin left a dent in my chest. Be safe - don't hand out bad advice to newbies. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

I am sorry so many of you think I am a troll. If you have some serious disagreements about what I posted why not post why you think so. Just because it sounds difficult to believe doesn't mean it didnt happen. If you go to the Crystal bar in Zhills and look for Mary-Beth shes a busty gal in her 40s (tho she says she's 34)a regular there on Thursdays she will verify my story. Tell her I'm still looking to go bowling with her. Oh yeah - she thinks my name is Hank and she thinks I am a pilot for USAir. Be cool. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

You are a danger to yourself and jumpers around you doing 4way for 30 seconds from 6k. If you are going to pull high, make sure the group behind you knows. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

Not sure what "hit you up" means but I will guess it is a complement. Don't you have safety meetings at your DZ? You should seriously organize one - talk to your DZO or S&TA. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

NEVER PUT BEER IN YOUR RESERVE CONTAINER. When you crack a beer open under canopy it will splash back on you and stink up your jumpsuit and make your canopy sticky. It is also very unsafe! If you drop your beer, it could hit a jumper below you if your doing CRW. If your at the top of an 8-stack it could get ugly (this has happened before). If you must get a buzz on while jumping, use a chest-mount triangle block, modifed to form a beer-coozy. Contact me for details on how to do this. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

I am surprised to see so many supposedly experienced jumpers question this. My instructors taught me that it's importatn to "conserve altitude" - that is why I prefer to stay above the student. If there's a problem I can simply dive down the 20 to 30 feet or get in their burble and tackle them from above. Staying above the student also lets you keep an eye on the ground so that you check the spot and make sure the pilot didn't f*ck you over for farting in the 182. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First!

Not to mention being an instructor with an "A" license. He must be that dude in the Wally Gubbins videos that boxes the tandem drogue... Don't be so quick to laugh at others mnealtx. When I started jumping you needed 100 jumps to become a JM. I was good enough to do it at 60, but I waited because I wanted to learn. I know a lot of skydivers and I'm pretty sure all th einstructors I have met have an A license. Are you really a jumper? Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

Please - have a little more respec for those who have been aroudn the sport for a while. Just because I havent updated my numbers (I have over 300 jumps now) doesnt make me dangerous. I'm a conservative jumper and very safety conscience. Almost half my jumps have been hop and packs at altitude. I am a student of canopy flight . and I have read John Leblank, Brian Burke and Brian Germane's articles and books many times. I think I have more time under canopy than some 1000-jump newbies. I'm also involved in many other extreme sports and I think a lot of th eattitude I used to get when I was more active was just jealousy. Hey - if you're not good enough to jump a Stiletto, why you stopping me? Sky Boxing is a sport that was just taking off in th e90's. I invented it and introduced a coupel of people to it. It didn't get popular because some participants complained about not being able to pull with the gloves on. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

Thanks - it has been a while since I tried freakflying, but it appears to have progressed a lot since I last tried it. I still think they could have picked better names for the formations - not something that I expect to hear at a Star Trek convention. I guess I'm an old-timer now, but I am still excited to share my knowledge and experience with the nwer jumpers. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

So how often have you guys run into someone claiming to be a skydiver and then finding out their totally faking it? I've been a jumper for many years and have a lot of experience though I never try to show off and score tail by tellign the skanks I'm a badass. But this weekend I was at the bar chatting up one of the locals when a major co*kblocker ruined my night. I was telling this chick a story about how I had saved a students life. The student was jumping an older FXC rig and on th eway up I noticed the needle was in the green zone so I had adjusted the setting to open at 2500ft). What happened was that as she exited on a 10-secodn delay at 6000 ft from our Cessna I followed her out to observe. I had told her that I would pull for her if she did not get her ripcord by 4000 ft as I am very safey consicence. She was doing well except for a couple of side spins and at 4500 feet I decided to get above her to observe her pull sequence from above where I would have a good view. As she was waving off - and burning through 4000 ft her FXC fired the reserver. No big whoop - I just rolled out of her way and dumped in place. She landed fine and I told her she had been lucky because I had fixed her AAD on the way up. Pull time is pull time whether its me or the AAD. I think she might have a thing for me now but I have a strict policy of not dating my students until they have a license. Unless their hot, then I make sure they get a license quickly. So as I'm telling my story this dude who overhears me proceeds to tell me I was full of sh*t. He claims he is a skydiver too and that it's never cool to rely on the AAD? WTF?!! I explained that I was not relying on the AAD - I knew it would fire as I had checked it myself!! This guy was clearly a fake or at best a 1-tandem "skydiver". Anyhow it got to the point where we got into an argument and the chick I was hoping to exchange numbers (or fluids) with had second thoughts and left with this dude ina late 80's 'vette. This "skydiver" on the other hand was back with his buds talking about mind-melds, double spock, transitions, and daffies - I been jumping since 1990 and that does not sound like skydiving. So if anyone hears some sci-fi geeks at a bar trying to pick up chicks, please do me a solid and ruin their game. I am so pissed! Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"
