Yes that's true - storks cary babies. They spend their winter in Africa. That is why Africa is so overpopulated. I will agree to bats transporting coconuts as long as we agree to supply them with little harnesses and unionize them - after all it's transportation. Also we have to take special care of Bats out of Hell. They have a tough life as is already jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275

Leave the bats out of it - they are an endangered species and you want to use them to transport coconuts. I'm calling the Park Ranger right away jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275

Naaaaah, the pilot was former Polish air force and we were in a 3 seat PZL Wilga - funky little plane. It was fun too - calling the secretary on the cell - Hello, please make sure nobody moves their car till I'm on the ground jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275

I agree with you. We are all worthless shit as we have not been allowed to jump into NY City. Mr. C is a rigger a patriot and a scholar. The add proves it. On a less sarcastic note I believe it proves not much more, though by leading this discussion, involuntarily we are providing him with more publicity. Hail Mr. C. we about to jump salute you. PS.

You Boers are very indecent people, making fun of you know who. Since it was undamaged, un-souped up and landed in a public place my impression is that perhaps there are some mushrooms growing not far from that DZ. Please, if you have a chance, keep us posted on the investigation, gutt? jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275

Need more detail, please provide: Was it a 700 lbs woman? Was she slingshot from a plane? Was she wearing rocket thrusters? jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275

In order to eliminate terrorists you should use: Flamethrowers Hand grenades High powered rifles Guards&Guns&German shepherds Napalm Enbalming fluids Your ex partners Bulldozers Other appropriate means available Full scale aggression against foreign countries is a proven means to improve our economy, thus it is good. War is good, because you can make funny movies about it (vide: Schindlers List, Private Ryan etc.) War is good because it provides entertainment and employment to the underprivilrged who join the Armed Forces. War must be good as Bill Gates is against it. jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275

Well Lisa, when we meet, rest assured I will take good care of contributing to your morning after headache. I said I can't drink all the time, but when the going gets tough.....Beware of my magic drinking powers. jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275

Personally I think we should kill them all. They eat awful food, have indigestion and gasses. That as we all know depleates the ozone layer. Plus they are bad people. The other reason is that we have a stockpile of munitions still from WW II and we have to do something with all that junk. Then we can buldoze the area of say Iraq and pave it over and create amusement parks and drive inn movie theaters. We would show skydiving movies, thus pacifying the region and solving the Palestinian crisis. jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275

7:1:1 7 - jumps this weekend. Only 7 because it rained on Saturday afternoon and I was pretty late at the DZ 1 - first off landing in a field full of cow shit. Was a good out though 1 - first day at the DZ when I did not touch a beer. What a great feeling. I was affraid I would have to call Betty Ford. I know skydiving and all, but I just can't drink all the time jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275

Well I think the person on the left arm tried to say something, but I and the feller in the red leotards on my right arm told him to shut the frrk up! So I did my AFF as fast as weather permitted - that is the best way! Personally it is my oppinion that skydiving has priority. I started doing this to have fun. I am not having fun. The feeling is indescribeble - it's overbearing joy, it's the learning experience, it's a new thing with every jump. Then I exchange experiences with other people at the bar or parties. I listen to the more experienced folk. I try to share my experience with beginners or tell them who to talk to. The point is to stay humble. Do not ever think you are really good. Do not EVER think there is nothing for you to learn. If you want to skydive you must shift your priorities. Whatever you need money for, comes second to skydiving. The rewards however are better than from any other activity. Skydiving does not tolerate stupidity. You will notice that your skydiving friends are usually much brighter than the whuffo crowd you hung/hang out with. Formally aducated or not, people who are committed to skydiving have more of joy de vivre than any other group I know. When you are not discussing jumping you will notice an unbelievable richness of topics you can discuss. Not the usuall "So what do you do for a living?" delivered by an aspiring young professional dressed in black at the bar, who is making payments on a car they can't really afford and does not know any bette pick up line. Does this all make sense? If not then: Wellcome to the world of skydiving. JUMP, JUMP, JUMP. Every day without a skydive is a wasted one. You will not be able to re-live it.

This is really weird and fresh. I just chilled out on the couch a couple of hours ago. Immediately I fell asleep and here it comes: I jumped our Otter, pulled and the canopy did not open but stayed with it's nose rolled, just the way it is ready to be tucked under and packed into the bag. I thought-well that is just fine. I will flair a few times and it will be great. Funny thing I was not scared in the dream. I also thought that if it does not work than it will be my first cutaway. Then the dream shifted and suddenly I was standing on top of a building with Igor - one of our ZHills croud. We made several jumps while jumping linked. I thought then - oh shit, I'm doing base jumps. And then Igor said that we would try a different "exit" and he would drop me over the side of the building and then follow me. And I said that tere is no way I was doing it. Now comes the weird part. My cell ringing woke me. Gues who called me - Igor! He said: Hey are you comming to the tunnel with us tomorrow? Really freaky stuff jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275

F**k the two weeks. Go this Saturday. Don't wait, jump now! jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275

You are right - my normal pull alt is 4,000. This time however it was a three way and I tracked away and I let myself stablize out of the track. I did that as on Saturday I had a hard opening, when I did not slow down enough after tracking. It hurt! The 2,500 feet were low, yet still if I had any doubt, there was time to cutaway. The problem is the decision would have to be made within a split second - no time for deliberations. jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275

I hear you. Funny thing - a Cessna with me, cameraman, TM and tandem passanger was roomier than out fully loaded Twin Otter. MUCH slower too. Still cool - hurray Skydive Pittsburgh! jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275

Selling this ride as "giving a sensation of skydiving" is an obvious misrepresentation. I have been on these rides at Kennywood in Pittsburgh, PA and at Universal Studion, Orlando, FL. It's a great ride. Real fun. Nothing to do with skydiving. It might be compared to bungee jumping, but that too is a far shot. POP hate to disappoint you but the 1 min 33 sec is with getting into your seets, buckling up ascent to the top and a drop of 2 secs. It bounces off, goes up a bit and finaly comes down. Yet as I said, a cool ride. jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275

Hear thee, hear thee I have had a couple of interesting firsts this weekend. The first first was my premiere in the world of off DZ landings. Doing a three way we exited too far and I must honestly admitt I opened lower than planned. I pulled at 2,500 feet and possibly/maybe could rear riser it to the DZ, but I had a line of trees right on approach so I took the safe way out. I have a red jump suit, so the initial decision not to choose an out in a field full of bulls was probably just. I mean a corrida with rig and canopy in hand is a less than ideal option. The other field looked great. Nice spot of green grass with lots of mud, but what the heck. About 30 feet off the ground I was able to see that it was not mud. The field was covered with cow shit. I was panicked at the view of large piles of fresh manure produced by prime USDA steak to be. Well that resulted in a butt slide and a landing in between steaming heaps of shit. Yeeeeehaaaaw! My friends swore they found spots of it on my suit, but smell test prove the contrary. My pride might be hurt, but my body is intact
