Push 0 #4 August 15, 2003 Sky Barge. I once yelled "Ahoy, cap'n" at a student. He didn't get it -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy. All you have to do is relax while plummetting at 120 mph from 10,000' with nothing but some nylon and webbing to save you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites WantsToLearn 0 #14 August 15, 2003 Thanks for that! I call them Fucking Safe and I don't like when ass holes get rude telling people in a packing area to move their boats so they have room to pack. People like that are just a fucking waste. That's not exactly the way to make friends with the students. I have heard this kind of thing on my DZ and I don't really approve of it. Also for those who get mad big canopies are in your way messing up your swoop please remember many times there is one landing area and this is for everyone to SHARE! Hook it and have fun but be safe. There are WAY to many deaths lately where people have a good main above their head. I would rather one of my friends have a reasonable wing loading then end up dead.
