skymama 37 #55 September 28, 2005 QuoteYeah, we've got a pretty strict no nudity thing over there. So, where exactly is this site... ahem... Hey, it sounds like this merge will work out for you guys after all. You can whine and throw a tantrum to Sangiro to allow boobies on your site too. Play it like little kids do..."how come they get boogies and we don't? It's no fair, you like them better!" I bet it will work. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

goose491 0 #63 September 28, 2005 QuoteLike I said, I'm not sure if there is a jumping equivalent. Generally speaking in the RC world Rappelling is considered by many to be the most dangerous aspect of the sport. (Personally I think it's alot of fun, but that's a different story) And going "aussie" on rappel is adding even more risk to an already perilous activity. Here's your comparison: In the skydiving world, landing is considered by many to be the most dangerous aspect of the sport and doing a "Swoop" on landing is adding even more risk to an already perilous activity. I'd say that's a good comparison. Most injuries/fatalities in our sport occur under a perfectly good parachute at landing. "Swooping" is a discipline where skydivers dive their parachutes towards the ground to pick up great speed before leveling out only inches above the ground. The effect is a nice long 'surf' along the ground before touching down. It is clearly the most dangerous discipline practiced by many. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

skymama 37 #64 September 28, 2005 QuoteThere was a no-nudity rule long before I came on board. That's too bad, boobies make the world go 'round. I would suggest you take a vote on the matter, but I'm afraid that won't work. Sangiro's legendary phrase around here is, "this ain't no damn democracy." She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 3,085 #72 September 28, 2005 >Funny Aussie rappel story: My rappel story: We were bored one day, so I took a student rig, a gullible friend, and 165' of 6mm accessory line. We did a Mr. Bill out of a King Air. After he opened, I attached the line to the chest trap of his student rig and rappeled down to almost the end of the line. He started turning. I slowly picked up speed until I was swinging at the end of the line at about a 45 degree angle. The canopy looked really odd; it looked like it wasn't sure how to handle the strange loading. Finally I rappeled off the end of the line. It was really creepy, because that's been one of my big fears in climbing for years. For a second I felt this massive panic, then I went back into skydiving mode and was fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That sucks for them, but I'm willing to bet it's cuz climbers can be of any age... skydivers have to be (as a general rule) at least 18 (technically an adult), thus BOOBIES are okay... although it is a public forum and anyone fool can access ~ HELL I don't know, GIVE THEM BOOBIES!!! We are so lucky!!! g Raddest ho this side of Jersey #1 - rest in peace brother Beth lost her cherry and I missed it .... you want access to it, but you don't want to break it.

Brains 2 #75 September 28, 2005 QuoteMy rappel story: Bill, a couple guys did that recently in houston. With inside and outside video. The outside video guy got a little too close and clipped the rappel line with about two outter most cells. he ended up getting his foot tangled in his lines and cutting one (finally) It was a great video. Of course this was at the same dz where Hookitt and Brits had their (in)famous crew jump. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.
