I taught myself to ride a unicycle (albeit poorly) during an overcast weekend at the DZ

Here ya go

I voted for number 3 because lately my real friends have been mixed in with the random ones in my dreams. But the random ones are actually best friends of mine in the dream. Then when I wake up I'm like...who the hell was that?

I've seen it. It sucks. Ok well it's got a lot of pretty cool skiing/snowboarding scenes. Most of the movie is this way. That 2 second skydiving scene? Yeah that's exactly how much is in the movie. Although there is a corny BASE jump scene. Basically the movies got a few good action scenes and a shit story line. I guess it's worth a few laughs though. BTW the movie is Extreme Ops

First off, shame on your boyfriend for not complimenting you enough (ever?) on your skydiving. I personally find it appalling when someones significant other can't manage a compliment or two, now and then. Now, skychicks are SO COOL! There is something about female skydivers that really to me. WAAAAY better than whuffo females. Skychicks are so...I can't really explain it? They, unlike their whuffo counter-parts, know the true meaning of "FREEDOM". This makes them so much more vibrant and adds a completely new dimension to their personality. Plus just about any skychick in a jumpsuit...I admit I have to hold back sometimes. I haven't seen you skydive...and I'm just a measly noob, so I can't really compliment you on your excellent flight skills, but you're a skychick so YOU ROCK!!!!!!! And again, shame on your SO for not telling you so. I'd kick 'im in the balls! wait...no. Bad idea. But seriously though, let him know somehow. I'm sure he just doesn't realize it, or maybe he feels like it would come off as condescending? I dunno but I'm sure whatever the reason, it's just a misunderstanding.

WHOA! No way man, Maryland's a state!?!? Whooda Thunkit?

I remember when I was really little, I had a little stuffed bear that hung from my ceiling from a little round parachute and I believe this is where it all started! I have always had a thing about "getting high". Big time tree climber, I loved roofs, if we went to a hotel, I would BEG for the top floor so I could look over the balcony. I used to jump from my bunk bed with an umbrella...that didn't slow me down so I figured I needed some more height. I raked up some leaves in the back yard and jumped off the second story deck with the umbrella. That didn't work so I got some plastic bags and taped them together...nope, didn't work. I remember about 6 years ago I saw Cutaway and I thought skydiving was the COOOLEST thing since sliced bread. I had seen several DEMO's into the baseball stadium in Spokane, WA. All this built up and when my mom asked me what I wanted to do during the summer, I told her I wanted to go skydiving! She was like MEEE TOOO!!! So we checked out the DZ, did our first jumps on August 10th, 2002 (me - static, mom-tandem) and VOILA! I'm hooked. So is my mom but not nearly as much as me. The stars have to be in perfect alignment if she's going to jump

OMG I got the opportunity to drive my dads lowrider chevy S-10 with the worlds best stereo, and guess what 2 CD's were in the passenger seat? AUDIOSLAVE and EVANESCENCE! Sooo cool!

It didn't bounce much, rather it blew up into chunks of steaming molten rubber

Ahhh yes I forget about the BEER since it doesn't yet apply to me! There is something to be said about not being in the "Legal Majority" Yes if you are 21+, there will be around $300 worth of beer owed by the time you earn your "A"

You're not too far off with an estimate of $2K, infact you over estimated. Well, that is if you are a good student and don't fail too many AFF levels. I didn't go through AFF, but at my DZ, the full AFF course levels 1 through 7 cost $1,225 total. That's 7 jumps and you would basically be "off student status" meaning you are allowed to jump on you're own at THAT DZ and you get the "up-jumper" or experienced jumper prices. In order to get you're "A" license which allows you to jump at any DZ in the US, you need to complete a minimum of 20 skydives. So yeah, after buying all the jumps and then the low-cost gear you will need such as Altimeter, helmet, goggles, gloves and a jumpsuit, you are looking at between $1700 and $2000 to get licensed. By the way, every DZ has it's own policies. The program I mentioned above is the program run at [url "http://www.skydivenet.com/kapowsin/students.htm"]Kapowsin Air Sports[url]. Check with your nearest USPA DZ to find out what their student policies are.

Hehe yeah I got that screensaver, someone posted about some good swooping videos on the PD site, but all I got was the screensaver

I second (or 3rd...or 4th) this, the Infinity is one kick azz container, looks, comfort, options, complete bridal/pin protection, rock solid riser protection. Nothing opens until you tell it to

OK I give up, who's the chick? And what's her phone #?!?!

Wow, I just want to put my face between those and...oh wait, what were you saying? I hope your situation clears up and you get back on here as soon as possible! Good luck bud

Yeah it would have been nice if they would have centered the show around the 300 way, and covered the practices, the piloting. I would have liked to see a documentary on it. Anyone know of one? hehe

Holy shit! That is some seriously quick and smart thinking on your part. Wow...you're my hero!

I didn't know Holly at all, 'cept for the posts I've read. But I've been told I'm an excellent listener

I've been known to laugh when I'm scared, extremely nervous or in really strange situations. Once a good friend of mine was run over by a jeep. I was standing on the side-rail on the jeep when it happened...felt like a speed bump, but speed bumps don't let out paint peeling screems when you run over them...by the way...he's alright now, just got an F'd up hip.

Is my computer the only one that locks up when I try to open that page? Kyle, you evil Bastage ---------------------------------------------------------- Ok, NOW it works. hehe, that was great!

What a terrible job though, I should have sued the bastages. I worked for a place called Scotty's Auto Body, and wow...Yeah there were a couple cool guys there, but it really pissed me off when someone would finish up in their stall then leave all their freakin' razor blades and junk for me to pick up. More often than not, I would miss one and slice myself when sweeping up. I really really really hated having to scrub every inch of the rims with a toothbrush. Oh and my ex-girlfriends dad was basically my boss. I was trying to get back with her at the time though so it wasn't all bad.

OH OH OH I worked for an Auto Body Shop. Oh but wait...I was the freakin' janitor. Summer job, the most physically challenging job I have had, worse than my paper route 8 hours a day, 5 days a week of sweeping sanded compound crap, cleaning the paint room (OMG I WEN'T HOME HIGH EVERY DAY), and detailing cars in the summer heat for minimum wage ($6.50). No unfortunately I can't offer you advice, but I CAN complain! DAMN!

So uh, hey...how do I get in on the virtual nig noggery!?! I WANNA PLAY! So what are the rules?

150:0:1 150 miles out of 200 driven to the DZ before the transmission in the Van went out. Thus no jumps were made But all is well, 1 successful suprise 41st b-day party for my dad.
