Shark 0 #1 February 19, 2003 As skydivers on a skydiving related message board, are we more likely to talk about politics and non-skydiving matters rather than dz life and jumping related topics? Talk Back has over 17,500 topics, while the General Skydiving Discussion has less than 500 topics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Push 0 #2 February 19, 2003 There are 7706 messages with boobies in them. There are 387797 messages at time of sampling. It follows that skydivers talk about boobies approximately 2% of their time, or about 48 minutes every day. -- 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

blewaway5 0 #4 February 19, 2003 What, boobies? As far as the statistics question goes, yeah, we're all skydivers here, for the most part, but think about it. What percentage of your life is spent skydiving? Also, just a footnote, a person can juggle stats to make them say whatever he damn well wants. That's why advertisers like them so much Truman Sparks for President Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shark 0 #13 February 19, 2003 Do you stay logged onto dropzone.com at work? How often do you post and/or read on dropzone.com? Dropzone.com is skydiving related and most, if not a good number are on it most of the day. Just check out Who's Online.... Skydiving brought us all together, and dropzone.com keeps us all linked during times away from your home dropzone. QuoteWhat percentage of your life is spent skydiving? Let's see, a minute of freefall? Very little. But my closest friends are skydivers and we speak everyday throughout the day. Then there's the time spent online here. So, a large precentage of my life is in skydiving related areas. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KawiZX900 0 #20 February 19, 2003 sounds like a decent power point presentation. Or an Ethnography even. Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds.
