  1. Awsome man! I have not seen my 7 year old little dude for over 8 months now. He is still in the power of the Dark Side. The Dark Side is doing it's best to turn him against me, and I am 5,000 miles away. SHIT. Yet I feel happy for you. At least one of us gets to see his kid and that makes me fell better - ride on bro! jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275
  2. Well, at first clouds scared me shitless, but now I just don't care. Any weather is good as long as it is safe (no thunderstorms). As a matter of fact - will jump for food jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275
  3. At a price of $185,000 for the Y2K bike my sharks with little laser beams atached to their heads will just cost spare change. How many DeHavilland Twin Otters in decent condition can u get for that cash - 3 or 4 I assume. jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275
  4. That is a thought - equip a motorbike with a mini jet engine and make it tow a large water tank with sharks with little laser beams attached to their heads. Buuhahahahaha...! jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275

    Non-Drinkers

    Stop right there! Not a skydiver Not a drinker Not from Florida OK so it is not me, which is bad enough. Then why would you even contemplate sacrificing yourself for someone who most of the time will go "What, you're off to the DZ again? AGAIN?" Don't do it girl. And remember - skydivers are the salt of the Earth jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275
  6. I had, I had, but noe it is all in the past (together with my job) and I have come to appreciate the good hings in life. If your boss gives you too much to do tell him to go to the men's room and read the writing on the wall. He wil probably request that you clean off your desk and leave immediately, but then again that solves your problem of motivating yourself, or am I wrong? jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui.

  7. Hermanito, they are all good as long as I have an espresso ans a sambuca to splash them down with and a Norwegian lesbian who knows how to sing and feeds them to me. After all we are nothing but mamals - so let's do it like they do it on the TRAVEL chanel jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275
  8. Turbine=Jet. It is a propeller powered by a jet engine. Apparently more reliable as a jet turbine has much less moving parts than a Piston engine i.e. less reasons for things to go wrong. Also, a Turboprop (as they often are called) has more power, hence brings you to altitude faster (long live the Otter) jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275
  9. I just had a perfect pizza (Chicken Pesto - no fast food shit) for lunch and am having my first glas of Primitivo di Manduria of the day. No woman can be ugly after such a treat. And if she does the dishes she is definitely attractive. God, I love Italian food and Italian women (caveat: the last pertains to the North of Italy) jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui.

  10. True, it is EXTREMELY tough to miss the Green Planet. It is rather large and approaches pretty fast. There is no reason to endanger youself unless you want to prove something. I have seen a ditch left by a dude who decided to part with his mortal self while tracking. jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275
  11. I'm not impartial - my home DZ is Zephyr Hills. I get probably the best advice from experienced folk, everyone is real friendly and it is real fun hanging out after the last load lands. Plus you can't really beat a T Otter full of Muff Brothers. jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275
  12. It is a different kind of jump. I would never give up skydiving for that, but it still is fun. As to the point of being scared - good. Cemetaries are full of fearless heroes. If one of these days you will not feel the anxiety before a skydive STOP immediately. You have probably forgotten to do your gear check, have not reviewed the emergency procedures and might have forgotten to take your rig with you. Being scared is good. It keeps you alive and safe. Jump on babe jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275
  13. Come to Florida - the season is just about to start here. Summer was decent to us - not to many rainy days (so far) but Winter is good. The temperature goes down to below BACKING, the sky is blue, the beer is cold. Here's to Southern Livin' jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275
  14. I just reviewed the bungee web sites in the States. It seems that most of them are cranes in amusement parks. That SUCKS big time. I would be looking for bridges. That is most excellent as you not only get to enjoy the jump but also the view without the screams of children, lamentation of women and the ever present stench of fast food burger grease. Are there no more people left who gather a group of people and do it just for fun? jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275
  15. My Dad is Polish and he decided to be patriotic and so my names are JAN RAFAL. So it sort of sounds very official. Besides the Jan is pronounced Yahn. It drove me nuts to be called a Mrs. In effect I put J. Raf on my business card as it is short. Friends started calling me jraf - go figure what that comes out phonetically jraf Me Jungleman!

  16. Variety is the spice of life. I like to try different things to know what they do to me. If I get to grow old (now that is a scary thought) I want to be able to say my life was full of excitement. Office, wife, dog, kids, TV set, two weeks vacation at Disney World - phuk that. Live fast - die hard and with your boots on jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275
  17. Not reaching the ground is like tandem skydiving - it's for jouriders. Get as close to the ground as possible - that IS the point. Water is a different story, there you can and should get wet jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275
  18. I survived more than 500 jumps. Cranes, bridges, TV Towers - u name it, u got it. It is kind of fun. Got to try sandbagging - load 30 lbs of sand into a napsack, jump with it and let go of it when you reach the ground Its like being the human cannonball jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui.

  19. Can anyone tell me who and where organizes bungee jumps. It used to be one of my favorite past times before I started jumping out of proper altitudes. I did a load of bungee jumps during my stay in Europe. It would be nice to do it in the States too
  20. That bridge is almost low enough to just jump into the water. Definitely a bungee bridge - would love to do a bungee head dip from that one. One thing you have to admit - that fine person has bowling balls in their pants. jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275
  21. What can I say: There is plenty of sunsets to jump, there is plenty of sunrises to come - make every one better than the other. There is plenty of people out there who feel for you Debbie. Hang on, take care! Blue Sky jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275
  22. There is a description of Kolomna in a Polish web site: www.free-fly.pl They have an English version. Also I know of a guy who went there in May. His e-mail is bee@eiseigroup.pl You should have fun, as far as I am concerned the Ivans have a bunch of Mi 8 choppers and An 28 transport planes. Make sure to post a full report on this site when you come back. jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275
  23. I know what you mean, I have seen the likes. We had one of our country's best who used to jump S/L round canopies in the service. On AFF 1 he refused to flare. Yuo should have seen it. First the instructor started screaming over the radio, then we all on the deck shouted FLARE. Our esteemed collegue did not notice the diffrent shape of the canopy, thought himself immortal. All he got was a chopper ride to the VA hospital and a broken ankle. Next time he will know to listen. It is however sad that some people refuse to listen to those who have eons more of experience. Then again I suppose you can have it the easy way and you can have it the hard way. jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275
  24. I tend to stick to motorolla - I've been using it for 5 years now. Previously I tried Nokia, Siemens and something I can't even remember. It is worth noting that Panasonic has REALLY great phones. Sadly enough TMobile/Voicestream does not offer them. As far as I am concerned the best Korean product is Taek Won Do. LG=Daewoo=Cheap Shit. jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275

    Sore Muscles?

    You run - you hurt, you jump - you hurt, you rock climb - you hurt, you mountain bike - you hurt so get used to it. The only way you will not hurt is if you sit in your recliner, sip a beer, munch on potatoe chips and watch all the above on TV. You will laso wind up as a 600 lb lardbucket who's wasted a lifetime in frony of the boobtube. Jump on! jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275
