Tink1717 2 #1 May 30, 2011 ....If you're going to try to impersonate an up jumper so you can tag along with your friend who's doing a tandem, at least do the basic research needed to know what grippers are on a jump suit. If you are what you say you are, that is a licensed skydiver with 640 jumps and a rating, then you will know what grippers are on a jump suit and not have to ask the TI what the grippers are on your friends jump suit. That is all.Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!)

That is all. Please expand upon "tag along". Did they just want to ride in the plane? Did they want to rent a rig and go along in freefall? How far did they get before their scheme was revealed?

Tink1717 2 #6 May 30, 2011 He somehow got past manifest and was asking my permission to jump with us when he just seemed to volunteer his cluelessness and ask what the grippers were for. The DZM took it from there. He was gone when I landed.Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink.

skyjumpenfool 2 #7 May 30, 2011 Quote ..........He was gone when I landed. You guys screwed up. You should have at very least put him into an old military rig with a lunchbox reserve. Maybe an old Bell helmet and some para boots. Surely one of your old CREW dawgs had an old ratted out rig around? Short of accually putting him on the plane, I'd have seen how far this Woofo was willing to go. All in good fun, of course? Next time, at least get them on video for our viewing pleasure.

Why ruin a perfectly good vintage Bell helmet. Someone on here mentioned that they were bringing big money and I looked it up. They are! ...And I just recently tossed my old orange Bell RT boat racing helmet because the foam was deteriorated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anywhere from 6 to 6 million jumps sounds expert to some whuffos. A coworker was telling a new employee the other day that I jumped all the time. He asked "What do you have, like 200 jumps?"

catfishhunter 2 #15 May 31, 2011 I've jumped with you so I'd say more like 275 MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.
