  1. This is a commercial for a jewelry company. I would rather have the RAM or a power tool than a useless sparkly piece of glass-like substance. Our first Valentine's Day, I bought my wife a chainsaw! She didn't even use it on me, she just called her mom to brag about it. top Now that's love!

  2. As a contact lens wearer, what is the best option to prevent tearing and/or losing a contact lens. The feather butts bounce off ya like raindrops hitting a battle-star when they come in too fast...kinda funny to watch. - airtwardo
  3. That's hilarious. Being a computer geek the RAM gift joke made me laugh really loud. The feather butts bounce off ya like raindrops hitting a battle-star when they come in too fast...kinda funny to watch. - airtwardo
  4. He has a sister? Do you have a picture? I might have done her. Seriously though, that isn't a scam, just a sh*tty thing for the seller to do. Hopefully you should be able to find a suitable alternative. The feather butts bounce off ya like raindrops hitting a battle-star when they come in too fast...kinda funny to watch. - airtwardo
  5. Was the student relying on the cypres to deploy for him instead of him initiating it himself? Students are taught to be proactive correct? (even though I've seen a clip of an experienced diver waiting for the cypres to deploy for him about 3 seconds from death) found link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQmIu_mQ04o The feather butts bounce off ya like raindrops hitting a battle-star when they come in too fast...kinda funny to watch. - airtwardo
  6. Can't say I'm surprised he died, except for the manner in which he passed. Was thinking it would be during some jackass type stunt, not just drunk driving (assuming that's what it looks like).

  7. Awesome! Any advice you'd give to somebody who wants to take the course? Something you'd do differently, or tell someone else to be aware of or things we should ask? Cheers!

  8. I went to FSU, I miss southern hospitality up here in DC. Ugh The feather butts bounce off ya like raindrops hitting a battle-star when they come in too fast...kinda funny to watch. - airtwardo
  9. Awesome. Let us newbies know if you have any advice, ie things we should ask extra help for etc. Cheers! The feather butts bounce off ya like raindrops hitting a battle-star when they come in too fast...kinda funny to watch. - airtwardo
  10. Can't wait to spend all my extra money jumping The feather butts bounce off ya like raindrops hitting a battle-star when they come in too fast...kinda funny to watch. - airtwardo
  11. Yeah, it was sort of a infinite loop. The unexpected "tenseness" made it harder to breath, and that in itself made me more tense lol The feather butts bounce off ya like raindrops hitting a battle-star when they come in too fast...kinda funny to watch. - airtwardo
  12. Good luck dropping weight! I was right at 220 for my tandem which hurt like hell. Trying to drop some now before taking cert class. The feather butts bounce off ya like raindrops hitting a battle-star when they come in too fast...kinda funny to watch. - airtwardo
  13. Thanks a lot! Yeah, it's beyond sickass. One thing I've read others say is they wish they had learned to pack earlier. The feather butts bounce off ya like raindrops hitting a battle-star when they come in too fast...kinda funny to watch. - airtwardo
  14. Hello everybody. I just got back this weekend from a short vacation in Tampa visiting a friend. Currently in rockville MD just north of DC. We had both done tandem paragliding in Interlaken, Switzerland a few years ago and wanted to go skydiving, but unfortunately were college kids and couldn't afford the price at the time. Since 2005 we've both been corporate drones and figured we needed some long overdue excitement. We went to skydivecity in Zephyrhills. Obviously it went awesomely well otherwise I wouldn't be here. The adrenaline rush lasted quite a while afterwards. My instructor Scott P was super chill and friendly, actually now that I think about it, EVERYONE at zhills was super friendly and approachable, even the experienced jumpers were smiling at me and giving me encouragement before they exited. I was first in line after the regulars so it was cool to see how relaxed they were hanging out by the door the whole way up. When I landed and was leaving, one of the regulars that was on the plane asked me how it was, if I enjoyed it etc and was super cool. The camaraderie is something I really want to experience regularly. The ONLY negative things I experienced were: 1: Difficulty breathing because I kept opening my mouth and exhaling was harder than anticipated 2: The straps around my thighs HURT LIKE A MOTHERF***ER and the pain lasted a couple days. Being 220lbs, the upper limit, obviously didn't help. Now begins the process of saving up for the License A classes at skydiveorage lol. I've read reviews that make orange sound like a big family like I saw at skydivecity. All I can think about now is getting into skydiving and spending hours reading/watching everything I can about it. Looking out my office window now I see blue skies and want to be up there and to meet other friendly jumpers. I may just do the first AFF jump in the meantime. Below is a pic, and yes yes, I know he was telling me to extend my legs, which I shortly realized after that moment, but I was so damned happy, I thought he was throwing a peace sign at me lol. -Charlie *sorry for rambling, but there's too much in my head to organize into a fluid cohesive post lol.
