Skydiving expressions/sayings?

Recommended Posts

There's always skydiving references to real life situations.

I just chopped from that relationship or cutaway that bitch come to mind. Variations of hooked in or burned in for various bad things or something coming to an abrupt end.

"Dude I tried to call you yesterday"
"Yeah, sorry, my phone hooked in..."
--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

How about

If you ain't got any "rag gore" jumps you ain't got shit.

For you newbies "rag gore's" were 28' military surplus canopies with portions cut out with scissors, for turning & foreward drive. They were used way way way back in the day.

PULL!

We say that on AFF jumps a lot.:S



Maybe they would be more responsive if they could hear you... Maybe we should try a hand signal or something?:D:P

:D:D I'll contact Safety and Training with your suggestion on Monday. I'll point to you as the guy who thought of it. :)


We can call it the Ski-pull my finger hand signal.:D

At our DZ I watched an AFF instructor quizzing a student before the jump.

She pointed her index finger at him and said "What does this mean?"
He shook his head and said "Dunno."
She looked at him seriously and said "Pull!"
So he reached over. . . and pulled her finger. :D

The question is, did he fart?

Shoulda done it on the plane.

Hi 88,
On a "Rag Gore" rig, only the upper part of the cut out had binding tape. The seams were left un taped as the radial seam stitching was "good enough!!" Also bath tub dye jobs were common!! Oliver Duncan from Louisiana Skydivers had an old all white Navy C-9 that he dyed the lower 1/3 red and the upper 1/3 blue and called it his "Uncle Sam" rig.

Oh yeah, and Don McQuattie had an all white Navy C-9 that he dyed only the upper 1/4 of it red...we all called it,"The Boob!!!"

Those Navy conicals always looked a little erotic when they were inflated, didn't they?;):$
