The office is warm today and these slacks I am wearing have little ventalation. Well my nuts are sweaty and all I really want to do is unzip my pants, pull them down and get some air in here. Damn sweaty balls... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weid14 0 #34 January 30, 2003 Quote I joke about it all the time with my students: "Make sure nothing important is under the strap..." "Make sure your boy's are outta the way..." "You'll remember this skydive for all the wrong reasons..." etc... Any guys ever get their nuts stuck under their leg strap? Any one-nutters out there? Brutal brutal...I have never seen it myself. Well, yet again another productive learning post brought to you by the folks at Eat, F*ck, Skydive, Inc. ah yes -- the dreaded "ball-under malfunction"... very painful and uncomfortable canopy ride...

skydiverbrian 0 #37 January 30, 2003 I prefer boxers. It's easier to move stuff. Just tighten your leg straps a little, then reach in and move them up and over the straps, then tighten the leg straps the rest of the way. "Look at the size of my basket!"

billo 0 #38 January 30, 2003 Boxers? Sheesh! That's crazy talk!I had a "near miss" as yardhippie once described back when i was tracking, back in the day of boxers. Adjusting yourself at 3000 is not the most comforting thought in the world IMO! Since then it is briefs by day, boxers by night when at the airport.

lippy 918 #39 January 30, 2003 No worries, as long as you give a reach and clear your junk whilst tightening up leg straps. Doing this in front of your load makes sense, as you can remind them of what they witnessed shortly after giving high fives before exit j/k. I recently switched from a weight vest to a belt. I find the belt superior in every way *except* clearing the boys.

ernokaikkonen 0 #40 January 30, 2003 Quote One of the AFF instructors at my home DZ always tells the male students about the importance of wearing "tightie whities" instead of boxers when jumping. That's what I've told students as well when I've taught them about gear and gearing up. The usual reaction is that first they laugh a bit, then they realize that I'm being serious, and the students go all pale and serious. I never wear boxers when jumping, it just doesn't feel safe...

peckerhead 0 #42 January 30, 2003 I tell my male students to "ahem" adjust your package. -Cause I aint gonna do that for ya! The girls get a free adjustment. (For safety of course!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samurai136 0 #43 January 30, 2003 I worked on that problem. No 'nut-under' scenarios but in warm weather everthing hangs a bit more freely especially in Boxers. On opening the leg straps would pull the boxers taught and quickly reduce the room for my gang. Very unpleasant. Spent time under canopy figiting side to side creating room for my gangstas. Now I make sure to properly adjust everything before I get in the plane on warmer days.Ken "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
