A better way out of line twist!
ridestrong replied to JohnDeere's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Saw this in another vid about a year ago and have used it a couple times.... works great!! Way better than trying to pull the risers apart and kicking out of it. Great post! *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.---- -
New, fun, weird, different Exits.
ridestrong replied to ridestrong's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
What are some fun different exits you've done lately??? This weekend we did a 5-way exit with: 2-way gorilla & 2 with reverse (head down) grips on the sides and 1 train off the gorilla. It went off perfectly and was a lot of fun. You can see it in the vid along with a 4-way version without the train. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dbJoGBsOp4 *I am not afraid of dying...

Worst Parachutist Cover Ever!
ridestrong replied to daytripper419's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
It's one of the AFFI's... he leaves it at the dz for people to borrow. Regardless I don't think it's that bad. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.---- -

Cocky/arrogant skydivers.

You kind of sound like an asshole Close...I've never been called an asshole...but I have been known to be called a Dick! This explains it all! *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.---- -
Proper spelling is Faux Hawk and those pussies need to harden the fuck up and meet a razor! So by fake, you mean they have a buzz cut on the sides or just moussed their hair into a mohawk? Yeah, I've always thought a true mohawk only had hair in a thin strip down the middle of their skull and nothing else. No matter how they do it... at least they all look smarter! *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

I'm confused... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v400/onekick/kickin1.jpg Yeah those velcro sandals do make you look pretty mean. *I am not afraid of dying...

First Cutaway, jump 30, and got my A too
ridestrong replied to skyflower_bloom's topic in Safety and Training
Is your point that.... no one should ever shout "GO" because it may be perceived wrong and hurt someones feelings or make them nervous? I'm not an advocate for shouting anything at anyone..., but this IS jumping out of airplanes not a social book club. (not at all directed to the OP) *I am not afraid of dying...

Chances of your spot being bad out of the Otter on hop & pops is pretty rare, especially since you would likely be pulling with plenty of alti to get back... I've never seen anyone ask for a go-around in the Otter for a hop & pop. Unless you have a real good reason, I don't think many people are going to be happy about the request. Other aircraft below you is a real good reason to ask for a go-around regardless of airplane. Depending on where it is... I agree! Cloud cover can also be a good reason... There ARE obviously some good reasons for a go-around which is why I worded it that way to begin with. *I am not afraid of dying...

I think it is reasonable to consider that there is other life forms out there, given there is infinite space. But, yes.... I think it is idiotic to fund a commission, pending E.T. coming to Denver. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

I agree and here is the thing. It is better for the GOP to only have the house bc they can play this same card in two years with the Dems having the Senate and the POTUS position. I don;t like that but you can bet they will see it as an advantage. I'm still waiting on the call for gov. of Ohio... tight race. It's all but over... Rep. Kasich sure to win. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

There are so many f'n morons out there voting.... if there was a question that asked, "Are you an idiot?" (in ballot like wording) I bet at least 40% of the voters would check 'Yes'. I won't be surprised if the ET proposition passes. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

"City and County of Denver Ballot Question Initiated ordinance 300: shall the voters for the city and county of Denver adopt an initiated ordinance to require the creation of an extraterrestrial affairs commission to help ensure the health, safety, and cultural awareness of Denver residents and visitors in relation to potential encounters or interactions with extraterrestrial intelligent beings or their vehicles, and fund such commission from grants, gifts and donations?" http://www.newsoxy.com/politics/ufo-sightings-denver-15537.html *I am not afraid of dying...

People that say, "I could care less." - In stead of the correct way, "I couldn't care less." and People that never use 'too' when it's appropriate. Just a couple of my grammar peeves. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

There's nothing wrong with with holding your exit if you have a legitimate concern or see something you don't like.... but if your holding everyone up just cause your timid, then people have the right to tell you to "GO" or get out of the way. *I am not afraid of dying...
