So, where is the entrance to happy hour? I finally have a chance to try this out and I can't get in.
-
Once, we had to bail out of a twin otter a couple of years ago. The pilot got an error light, killed one engine, and as we were all trying to figure out why the prop stopped moving he turned around and forcefully said "get out." What a way to do my first hop and pop from 3K!

Hey, you didn't include my favorite type of women...NAKED! oops, did I post that outloud? : )
-
So you were there for belly flying, but did you get a chance to try sit in the tunnel. It's so much fun to make a fool of yourself, hit every wall and everyone inside the tunnel, and then watch the instuctors FF like they were born in the tunnel. : )
-
As soon as I get my rig finished, I plan on continuing with Freeflying. I have nothing against the other disciplines, but the creativity in ff is what attracts me the most. A lot of my first dives were the "gimick" type of dives, like the donut and the mr. bill. I learned quickly that the one way to be able to do everything is to understand how to fly your body on all of your axis. From there, improvised dives and planned dives can all be good fun.

Anybody have an opinion on Spectre vs. Stiletto? I know the differences, but for those who fly them, why? Size that I'll be looking at is a 150 with a body weight of 165-170 under it.

You generally don't call them a whuffo directly. If they are truely whuffos, do you think they'll really understand that part of skydiving?

Statistics? We don't need no stinking statistics!
VivaHeadDown replied to Michele's topic in The Bonfire
If you want to accurately compare skydiving to driving, don't you have to compare the total number of miles driven to the DZ compared to the total number of miles you spend in freefall? -
Right now it's named Shannon, but that's because it used to belong to this guy named shannon who jumps for PD. I figured it brought him good fortune in skydiving, so maybe I shouldn't be too hasty in changing the KARMA in the threading.

Relax your mind before you jump. A deep breath usually helps. If that's not enough, whenever you're just walking around, jump onto the ground and start yelling ARCH ARCH ARCH!!! and there's no way you can forget after that.

AMERICAN MEN FAVOR BUSH DAUGHTERS GETTING LOADED

mmmmmm...curves. mucho gusta. Let us not forget Monroe had more hips than a lot of women who complain about their own, and she landed a president! -
Lenny, a little Bob, some Sublime, and a lot of hometown San Diego/Southern California bands. Californians know what feels good, and they know how to sing about it. : ) Unlike what Orlando has been putting out (4 years of college in Daytona and I was on the first plane out of there)
-
I jump in Southern California, and haven't been to Elsinore yet either. I think it's about time to find out who those guys are over there. Just as soon as I put a canopy in my container. Which is just as soon as I get a car. Which is just after I land a job. (Recent college grad who spent all his time in florida jumping instead of buying things like a car).

It's happened to me from time to time, usually during really stressful periods. I was a big nose bleeder as a kid, and though I don't really get nose bleeds anymore, my sinuses will react to temp/humidity/pressure in sensitive ways at times. Sometimes you just have to call it quits for the day and go home. It sucks, but the alternative is to start forcing drugs into your system, and it's a personal rule of mine not to mix any kind of drugs with skydiving, not even over the counter stuff. Wish I had a more optimistic aproach for you, but sometimes bad things just happen.

I like to swoop the eagles along the cloud's edge Hey, could this double as a hi-coo over in the poetry strand?: )
-
Since everyone takes in alcohol different, I think you're just going to have to take caution and use your own judgement. Don't pilots have to stop 8 hours before a flight per the FAA? Any pilots out there to check that? I think that's about what I usually do for the 8am loads, but whether or not you want to try breakfast is up to you : ). (Be kind to the jump plane, fill your helmut before the reserve of the guy in front of you)
-
I'm just getting to the point where I can hang on the outside of large ways freefly, and be directly in medium sized freefly, so I'll be spending time around tom and jimmy and them. Hope that narrows down the number of skydivers you introduce yourself to. Oh, I've got red hair too! : )
-
I'm still jumping Ghetto (loose jeans and long sleeve shirt, but it doesn't stop the fun). What type of suit are you going for?
-
3 finals down and 5 to go, and in the middle of all this comes the FreeFly Shindig at Deland. I want to see all of you central floridians there jumping and partying your toggles off this weekend, because it's the end of east coast jumping for me. Here I come Sunny California...but not without one last bash. Thanks to Tom and all who have organized what's gonna be the best DZ weekend this year!
-
all of the above...especially that last idea. That was a winner.
-
can I play myself? (note-not with myself)
-
According to that site, I'm NOT ADD! Now what am I going to use as a scapegoat?
-
A friend of mine gives me a ride to the DZ from time to time on the back of his bike. I like to put my arms out at 90 degree angles and wear my goggles and helmet to complete the effect. Skydiving is everywhere! Is there any doubt man was meant to freefall???
-
I admire chicks with "skills", but be careful not to admire too much or they get creeped out.

Hey, let's not forget the numerous James Bond sequences (like where he jumped into his friend's wedding after repelling from one aircraft to the bad guy's aircraft, or more recent with the HALO), which reminds me of NAVY SEALS with charlie shean when the group exited and landed at night in the water.
