jmpnkramer 0 #101 August 18, 2005 Quote Exactly how many jumps per year do you have to make in order to qualify as a "real" skydiver? Just curious since you seem to be an authority. Why Thank-you Maura. I was going to rip that one on PM. But I will put a little here. It amazes me how certain people relate jump numbers to skill. I am averaging about 100 a year which is low because of a 2.5 yr hiatus for an injury. By your account though then that is all Kate Cooper (Premier Woman Organizer) (World Organizer!) can do is fall and pull a pilot chute. Wake Up You definitely know nothing about the sport. Come to us with experience. Numbers mean nothing. I have jumped with Deguello and The Golden Knights for fun on a regular basis. .The REAL KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER! "HESITATION CAUSES DEATH!!!"

billvon 3,090 #102 August 18, 2005 >I guess it is because Skydiving does not require a person to utilize their whole body. From my experience, it's because surfer chicks are more vain and are wearing bikinis more than skydiving chicks. >That is just your justification for being out of shape! I think you are confusing "tight all over" with "being in shape." I know a lot of skydivers who are in great physical shape who wouldn't look like a cover-girl surfer chick in a bikini. They don't lie in the sun or 'tone their abs' or get their legs waxed every other day. Check out the JFTC calendar for some good-looking (and generally very fit) women who do not conform to the usual stereotype of the surfer chick.

Casurf1978 0 #103 August 18, 2005 IMO the whole image of the average surfer (men and women) being in tip top shape with sun kissed skin and a beautiful six pack is BS. Surfers come in all shapes and sizes. I'm talking about the regular guy or gal. Now if you want to talk about pros, well thats a different story. Yeah surfing can be hard and it is a bit more demand than skydiving and other sports. But its not like we are out there battling mother nature every single second we are in the water. Big wave surfers are another breed all together. Comparing regular surfers to big waves ones is like comparing myself to someone who has thousands of jumps and swoops. There is no comparison.

waltappel 1 #105 August 18, 2005 QuoteQuoteI'd take a surfer chick to the gun show any day, bring it And then we'd race up a tower 1800 ft, if she's really hard core it should take no more than an hour... Actually I'd let Jennejenn do that one, she's a racehorse. I'm out for the week, I broke a nail... skydiving of course. Anyway, back to my Krispy Kremes, I'm trying to gain weight. Wingloading ya know. MEOW!!!!! I don't think it's so much a catty remark but a statement of fact. She's in pretty badass shape and I'm sure it ain't just from climbing towers.

Rebecca 0 #106 August 18, 2005 Why not? He's bored, and just created a nice li'l diversion. I chose to respond with a request for chicken pot pie. Others chose to bite, I just don't care that much. I'm outta shape, and I know it. Here's an objective question just to refocus: Taking it to the top of the sport and including everyone: Can a world-class surfer be in less-than-top shape and still win? Not so likely Can a world-class skydiver be in less-than-top shape and still win? More likely Can anyone enjoy and be very good at either sport along with their physical baggage of age, fat, cellulite, wrinkles and rickety bones? Hell yeah! you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumprunner 0 #107 August 18, 2005 QuoteQuotehow great in shape these "surfer-girls" are, wrinkles, cellulite, and everything. These women should be SHOT! Wrinkles and cellulite just mean that you are lower on the "value" scale!!!!! Actually darling, its their attitude. They have this "youre a nobody" attitude towards everyone else in the world, especially if youre the male gender.

Elisha 1 #109 August 18, 2005 I try to keep myself in shape. Even though it was 12 years ago now, I wrestled 4 years in High School in a tough program that beat the shit out of you and boasted how several people went on to sucessful military careers. After High School, I rode my bike, run and play sports at times. I feel I have a little extra motivation (or should I say threat) since I have scoliosis - all three kinds. I have a small lateral curve (scoliosis - probably the least noticeable, but I feel it), lordosis (lumbar/sway back - makes my big ass look bigger) and kyphosis (hunchback). If my stomache is big or full, it can't support my back muscles well and I have back pain. I do yoga because of this, which has by far been the best physical therapy. At times during the past year, I'd say that my back feels better than it did when I was 20. The muscles are just very hard and imbalanced. I'm sure most people wouldn't notice, but my back hurts and it sucks. Now, if I was more disciplined with food and beverage on a consistent basis, I'm sure I could be in even better shape, but I like good food and beverage. WHERE'S THE DAMN BEER TRUCK??!!?!?!
