Jake, I noticed that, but I figured that since JP is getting old, and his fingers are getting fat, he hit "S" instead of "F":ph34r:

:D Bite me, Remi! :D The canopy looks good - alternating hot pink and neon blue with a lime green center cell. And the container (hot pink, green, purple, and blue and white tie die)...well...the manufacturer was a little concerned with the color choices until they saw it put together. :D

I have to say I love your avitar. I have the same jumper I painted on a plate. There is this cool pottery place where I drew em on a triagnle plate and switched the colors to match my gear and blonde hair.

Not that you really care about this :D but I had never seen the pic before the plate I painted.

Anyway, nice avitar:)

Essentially, it comes down to this. Skydiving is more than a sport, it is a feeling. Among skydivers, you can talk about this feeling and what wonderful times you have. The comraderie and shared experiences.

I know long-term skydivers who forgot this. They only concentrate on the mechanics of it and forget that it is supposed to be FUN.

Yes, sometimes I write things for a laugh. Yes, I share many inside jokes with many people on here.



Earlier I meant to ask when posting jokes and making people laugh became a problem. I believe that everyone should tell at least one joke a day, no matter where. It makes the world a better place.

Many of these people are my friends. This is about the best way to stay in contact with all of those people you only get to see once or twice a year.



Absolutely. There are people that I see at WFFC and z-hills boogies, so 2 or 3 times a year. I love to hear how things are going with them and plan new adventures.

Yes, you will get "Look at me!" posts.



Why not? I love to read of the successes of other people. I think that having kids taught me that. Enjoy the happiness of others. If someone does something fun/cool/excellent, it doesn't take anything away from me. It just makes someone happy that I want to be happy. I appreciate that they share it with me.

That's why "Bonfire" is the perfect name for this place. There are lots of people chatting about past memories



That is exactly what happens at most dz bonfires.
It is a great part of the sport. This is an electronic bonfire and that is how it should function.

Personally, I've never "felt out" of anything here.



It is because you smile, talk, dance, and skydive with others. :)
I have heard people say something like "I was at z-hills around New Years. 200 jumpers and 4 load organizers, but no one would jump with me. 100 people at the bonfire, but I was ignored." :S

People have to go to the load organizers and introduce themselves. They have to strike up a conversation at the bonfire.

They have to post "I have 150 freefly jumps and I am going to be at --- dz next weekend. Who from dz.com wants to jump with me?"

When you are 9 years old, the teachers introduce you to the other students in the class on your first day. After that, we are on our own. We make our own life.
(sorry the post is so long)

There will be mucho people to jump with. By that time, the dzs in the Great White North will have sent us their Otters to play with. We usually have 3 or 4. Sunset load is at least 2. 45 loads a day.

Of course, there is a bonfire, but no nignoggery. Florida girls are far too innocent for such evil. :)
