Lindercles 0 #7 September 15, 2006 Quotehes fed up listing to me babble on how cool it is. People who don't jump always get fed up listening to skydivers babble. It's no more interesting to them than listening to your Aunt Pearl babble about her new apple pie recipe is to you. You'll do well to learn that sooner rather than later.

cocheese 0 #9 September 15, 2006 Skydiving is for those that can't get laid, have low self worth, but weren't the last one to be picked for dodge ball. Never sell the game we love. If they don't want to experience it, then they don't deserve us trying to explain it to them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vskydiver 0 #17 September 15, 2006 QuoteExtreme ironing is my 1st choice of activity... Skydiving sucks. I hate ironing! I agree with the TV though. TV's an extreme sport isn't it? Plus anyone who thinks skydiving is stupid is probably more into TV and watching other people live their lives than into living their own life. I think you should tell them to watch TV. "Extreme Reality TV" for the people that have no life of their own. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #18 September 15, 2006 skydiving is all about confinement andrestrictions. 1st- you have to put on a parachute that is much like a straight jacket that you cinch up around your nuts and chest. makes it hard to breath because , if you move worng your nuts get squeezed and you can't take a deep breath from the tight chest strap. than theres the 20-30 pounds of weight on your back pulling the straps tighter. then if that's not enough, you cram as many people in as small a plane that you can find. you contort yourself into ungodly postions just to get the door closed...and sit there for 20-30 minutes. its mostly annoying when its 115 degrees outside. then when you get to open the door you have the whole sky to play in...but youre not allowed to . you have to get as close as possible to the person youre jumping with. all that sky and you can't weven use it. anf for a minute you have to worry about everything from . when do I pull my "ripcord?"to where is everyone? why are they all waiting so high above me? idiots. what happens if my parachute doesnt open? what happens if it does? what if the winds kick up? will I be able to land this thing? where? if I miss the landing area will a golfer or homeowner try to hurt me? will I hurt myself? where is everyone? what if my alitmeter is incorrect? is that why they are all slowing down? should I pull now? but what if they fall through my parachute? then when you finally decide to pull you get a friendly reminder that your nuts are in that harness; being constricted as if a Boa was eating lunch. now you have to find your landing area. other parachutes, aircraft. birds peopleand other hazards on the ground and aviod them all. after you land you still arent safe, you have to avoid all the other insane idoits that jsut jumped from a perfectly good airplane. its like dodging bullets just so you can get the the 118* hanger and pack your parachute while you sweat and it sticks to you. it's a mini-torture camp. you cramp 200+sq. ft. of fabric into an area the size of a woman's hand bag. after 20 -30 minutes wrestling with that damned thing you put the straps back on and ask your self WTF am I doing? tell your friend to stay home.My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanuckInUSA 0 #21 September 15, 2006 QuoteQuoteAMEN golf is where its at I disagree...it's all about bowling. I thought it was all about Shopping Malls, careers, expensive cars and big houses. You know, the stuff that impresses the Jones's. Oh yes and your golf handicap is of utmost importance. Your golf handicap is the difference between landing that lucrative contract and it being given to some other bloke. Bowling? Well that's just for blue collar folks with drinking habits that need to be fulfilled. PS: I'm over due for a trip to Eloy. Hopefully I'll be able to make this season's boogie.
