mountainman 0 #2 September 7, 2002 Here is my idea for the webpage, you can have the dropzone.com name, number, and email for each member. Than, if you want, Richard, we can make a small page for each member. That can include real name, email, photo, bio, etc. Let me know! As this post evolves, I'll keep updating the list on the website. Once it starts looking presentable, I'll upload it to your site and announce it on this site. http://www.brandonandlaura.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rgoper 0 #3 September 7, 2002 Brandon: sounds good to me, only in the event the "Yuppies" correct me, the assigned numbers stand, they were going so fast in the original posts, there was some confusion, and before it ever got started, 3 or 4 of them were already gone. if i forgot anyone, bring it to my attention, remember, you get a small bio, and jpeg representing you, your equipment and home dz on my website, Brandon is the webmaster. thanks!--Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zennie 0 #12 September 8, 2002 Quote2) zennie (he may not want it, i assinged it to him) tedd biggs I dunno man. I think I'm out on the "impeccable safety record" part. You saw my landing last weekend. That's the second time in as many weekends that I've been "talked to" for cross-winding it in the main landing area. Gotta stop doing that. Oh and BTW, it's Ted, but that's OK. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's the second time in as many weekends that I've been "talked to" for cross-winding it in the main landing area. Gotta stop doing that. yeah, i got "talked to myself" only i surfed it in, they didn't think it was funny. by the way, the impeccable safety record infraction would mean you would have had to be "grounded" for a safety infraction, not just having a disscussion with the s&ta, we'll let good sense prevail. QuoteOh and BTW, it's Ted, but that's OK. i'm sorry...i thought it was 2 "t's" i'll fix it. hope to see you at AOTMB the 13th of this month for the high alt jumps.--Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #14 September 8, 2002 Quote 4) andrea (skymama) Hmmm....I remember asking if I could have a number because I drove my van like a sportscar. But, I have to admit I fail at the "impeccibly safe" part. I had an accident and a cutaway, all by jump #26! You probably need to disqualify me.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airann 1 #18 September 8, 2002 Hey Ted... I cant believe that.... Certain brisket eaters swoop thru trees and get a laugh. (not Skeet this time - Eric) Under power lines and thru hedges = Wah Hoo, Great Video!! However, he is a professional. Then you have the two house-mates of mine ... And another thing, if you have not been 'talked to' = you havent been skydiving very long. ...speaking of web-sites, Freeflyers.com is just about out and it is beyond outstanding. Every bit of the code is hand written. Logos and artwork is done by hand as well. Last time he did that the logo showed up on an Austrailan DZ home page as their logo.

miked10270 0 #22 September 8, 2002 Hi there, Forgive me for butting in, but I remember the 1980's, I was there. the term "Yuppie" meant Young, Upwardly Mobile Professional"... Now, no offence, but how can a skydiver be upwardly mobile? Surely that is against the whole ethos of our sport, not to mention the laws of gravity!? Just my $0.02, Mike D10270. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.

Jessica 0 #24 September 8, 2002 Quotethe term "Yuppie" meant Young, Upwardly Mobile Professional"... That would be a Yumpie. Yuppie means Young Urban Professional. Let us defer to www.m-w.com: Main Entry: yup·pie Pronunciation: 'y&-pE Function: noun Usage: often capitalized Etymology: probably from young urban professional + -ie Date: 1982 : a young college-educated adult who is employed in a well-paying profession and who lives and works in or near a large citySkydiving is for cool people only Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
