    Seth......try as hard as I might, I can't be disappointed in you because you're a Buckeye fan......I just feel a tremendous amount of sadness for you. Sadness because you are A) a skydiver (whom are the coolest people on Earth), and B) a Buckeye (which is the vilest, dirtiest, most digusting life-form on the face of the planet). The inner conflict must be tearing you apart. Please seek help, immediately.

    Why on earth would I do that ? I enjoy our "hate-hate" relationship...... Blue -- I apologize for my spat of post-whoring. I've felt kinda smarmy all day because of it. I don't see how Clay can live with himself..... Don
  3. Congratulations to you, Dave.....are you planning on making a career with the Corps ? Don
  4. You answered your own question......do you think Houston needs to require bicycle helmets ? I daresay that more folks are killed in biking accidents per year than are in all skydiving accidents combined. I have objections to some DZs making me wear a helmet. I always wear one while doing RW jumps, but I should be allowed to go without if I'm doing a solo fun jump or drill dive. I mean, what protection does a frappe hat provide ? It's considered the same as a helmet as far as jumping with headgear, but....c'mon ! Don

    I have to admit......Dean was the best college coach ever, IMO......even better than Wooden. I really respect and admire Coach Smith.....just never liked the Heels. My friends keep insisting that I move back to Michigan....

    Cool.....go for it ! I just hope they don't burn your house down... For your protection........paint an end-zone in your front yard. Buckeyes seem to have an aversion to visiting such places

    That's the best thing about really good friends.....watching them agonize. With the demise of the Tar Heels basketball program this year, my friends have been cringing every time they see me coming.......such a joyous time to be in N.C. !

    Sigh......it's always a shame when a strong alpha-male lets a new flame dictate which sports teams he is allowed to like..... Jess......Phree needs to NOT pull for the Buckeyes. Strange how he could have such good taste in women, but horrific taste in college football teams......
  10. Glad to hear you're back in the air, Seth ! And NO first-jump story is boring. They always remind me of my first time. Don "Women......can't live with 'em.......can't kill them without having to endure horribly expensive and messy legal proceedings."
  11. Like Clay, Dove, and Lew.....I also barrel-roll before waving off and deploying. And if you're concerned about altitude loss -- just plan on break-off being 500 feet higher. Don

    it opened!

    Especially when it opens correctly.

    Good one, Jess.......I bow yet again to your superior wit.

    Reason # 1 ....Skydiving. Reason # 2 (and just as important).....Red Wings. Don
  15. (red-faced with embarassment) Sorry....my bad (/red-faced with embarassment) Don
  16. Well, that rule lasted for a grand total of 12 posts....
  17. Damn ! Remind me not to get into a quick-draw contest with y'all..... 9 out of 10 -- .33 1 out of 10 -- .65 (I blame it on my 28K modem).
  18. Well, I only missed it by 40 yards. I learned something new today.....when you can't see the dropzone through the holes, you just look up and watch the tandems. Either A) they know where they're going, or B) someone ALWAYS picks them up ! On the second jump, I was 2 meters from the peas. Is it considered bad etiquette to yell "MOVE YOUR ASS" to the tandems while they're standing on the target, grinning and basking in the glory that is this sport ?
  19. 1 : 2 : 1 First grass stain on my new jumpsuit !
  20. Ummmmmmm....."Pistol" Pete Maravich ?

    WOW

    " Damn, Bubba.....look at the rack on that 4-pointer ! It's f***ing huge ! " " And gimme another beer...." Don
  22. PLFKING

    WOW

    Agreed. I thoroughly enjoyed my one visit there, and glad to get the jumps in BEFORE that mishap. Btw....did they ever find it ? Don
  23. What an ego.....who are you to upgrade yourself from a mouse ??? (must be the "post-whore" in you coming out.....)

    Amazing how much this site has evolved in a relatively short time, isn't it ? Kudos to our Fearless Leader ! I miss MikeD10270.......several of the "old-timers" post far less frequently than they used to (before the site upgrade), but 'ol Mikey seems to have fallen completely off the face of the earth. And that's sad, cause he was one hilarious Brit ( yeah, yeah, I know -- I didn't even think Brits were ALLOWED to have a sense of humor, but....)
  25. I was thinking the same thing. Every time I see a pic of someone in freefall over England, you can't hardly see the ground ! You can always see the sheep, though......
