Engovatov 0 #1 April 13, 2002 ...in discussion of the container options it was said:>In the long run, number of jumps is more important in keeping you alive than shiny colors.That is absolutely, patently wrong. How do you look in front of the opposite sex is the single most important thing in our lives. Damn - in ANY form of animal life.I would refuse to wear badly color coordinated clothes even if I am to climb solo on Buffin Island. Same for jumping with an ill looking parachute. It will drain your male energy and make your life useless. You will darwin out. Cease to exist. Your parrot will be no more. Admit it - 75% of skydiving, heck, of ANY "extreme" sport, is fashion show - even when the chicks do not see you, you keep recharging your mojo..

PhreeZone 20 #4 April 13, 2002 Amen... I've never seen bigger egos and uglier gear then on the Dawgs....Personally... i could care less what it looks like but if I'm ordering new... might as well make it semi pleasing on my eye...."Hey..

OK.. maybe this community is not the best place for sarcasm.. gee.. even Monty Python reference does not help... Probably because it hits so close.. I think it does.. Doesn't it? ;-)))(If you think CRW people are ugly - you should've seen us on a third day out there.. in the higher places.... it is not just the look - it is also the SMELL.. Cop once pulled me over after a good day of fun on the rock - when I went out to grab the license from the luggage, he sniffed the air, looked at dirty blood on my hands (forgot the tape), and let me go.. ;-)) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheMarshMan1 0 #20 April 14, 2002 A friend who had done a tandem once told me that he thought he wanted to do AFF just so he could tell people he was a skydiver. I politely suggested that might not be the best of ideas. He took up flying aerobatics in a Pitts instead..."If I could be like that, I would give anything, just to live one day, in those shoes..."

AggieDave 6 #21 April 14, 2002 On the AFF jump he would have gotten the BOB hand signal...it consists of a swooping underhand motion of your right arm.
