If interstate highways are so great, why do they have to bribe us by letting us drive on them for free?

Hey, so here's the thing. I really love wearing dresses and skirts. I just kind of do. But I also want to try either skydiving (most likely in a tunnel, I'm not sure I have the courage to actually skydive lol) or wingwalking, mainly wingwalking because that's slightly less terrifying Granted, Im probably too young to do any of this now, but does anyone know whether or not I will be able to wingwalk or skydive while wearing a dress or a skirt? I've just been thinking about that for a while and I was wondering if I could really do that. Ok, so a little after typing this, I've seen videos of people skydiving AND wingwalking in full wedding dresses, and to kind of clarify, though it would be fun, it's not quite what I want. I mean just any kind of dress or skirt really

Perfect - exactly the type of feedback I was looking for! This is the full description now: Brief Overview of appropriate timing of when to learn various skydiving disciplines from someone who began skydiving in 1993; US Army Airborne; Static Line, AFF, Tandem & Wind Tunnel Instructor. I instruct/coach students, A and B License holders and have told this story numerous times and decided to make a video series so I don’t have to give this presentation in person 2X a weekend. Also, this presentation will allow the newer skydiver to view different disciplines to have a more in-depth discussion with their instructor in order to get them on a path specific to their passion.

My $.02 is to strike this phrase and replace it with . . . This presentation will allow the newer skydiver to view different disciplines for us to discuss more in-depth and get them on a swim-lane specific to their passion.

.....so you mean Brent?

Ask Disco or the Focus boys if they know of anyone that might help.

So now some poor veteran who can't afford much is sitting by the side of the road with no wheels. I thought you were a veteran with some heart!

If you have a friend who plays guitar, these guys have a way cool sticker that comes with their stuff. They don't sell the stickers.

I wanna play. It's more of a deduction; not unlike your rental properties. Why does the government offer a marginal well tax credit. I mean if they can't make any money on those wells; wouldn't Econ 101 say they shouldn't exist?

Why are you guys feeding the troll?

Hi Guys, I finished my training last year and started the new season 4 weeks ago. I'm looking forward to this great new sport and I'm curious what I can experience in the future. Many greetings from Germany, Phil

I've done that with a man who wanted to jump in a kilt. Actually there were a group of three guys.

A few years back, a couple of young ladies showed up to do tandems, and for religious reasons they always wore these calf-length skirts. Consulting with them and their fathers, we couldn't convince them to put on pants or jumpsuits, and their dads certainly weren't going to have us putting the harnesses on under the skirts. So we checked it out and found a way to make it work. We bunched the skirts around their thighs and pulled the excess down, and it worked fine without being immodest. It ended up looking kind of like those 'skorts' or 'gauchos', or whatever they call them.

I'm not sure why you think wing walking is safer or less frightening than skydiving. Wind tunnel operators are particular about what participants wear in the tunnel. Both the activities you want to do in a skirt will require you to learn how to do them in the standard manner first. Once you do that you will know how to explore the possibilities.

There are two concerns: one is the dress or skirt flapping over your emergency handles or your parachute (both would the start of a bad day). The other is that your harness (that holds you into the parachute) is cinched around the tops of your legs, thereby kind of doing away with the skirt feel. The only (relatively) safe way I could think of would be to have a tight skirt on OVER your properly-fitted harness, and secured around your knees to keep it from flying up. That’d be a specialty jump for an experienced jumper, in my eyes. And it’s possible to find videos of lots of things that aren’t safe. Wendy P.

Hadn't considered that. Several years back I put on a couple of Australian TM's. On a windy day I asked one if he'd like to come shag a few tandems. Talk about big eyeballs.

Now you've just confused the hell out of our UK friends.
