Bugger!! OK, so roadrash should get a t-shirt for the 1 millionth post including deleted posts, but the race for the 1 millionth 'still viewable', non-deleted, or official even, post is still on. The only thing worse than a cold toilet seat is a warm toilet seat.

On what do you base your 'statement'?? Is there another total posts figure somewhere? Are there two sets of totals running?? If so, what is the offical total and why the discrepancy? Will sitting too close to the TV really make me go blind? The only thing worse than a cold toilet seat is a warm toilet seat.

999 613 and counting I suggest waiting to the total reads 999 999 and then posting super fast Failing that, we ask HH The only thing worse than a cold toilet seat is a warm toilet seat.

Alrighty...Christians in da house!! I was raised a Christian and went to mass with my mother from an early age (also did a bit of the Sunday School thing). It was when I was finishing High School that I decided that I needed to establish for myself that God did really exist. At that stage it was about looking for logical reasons for the existence of God. Since then (I am now in my late 20s) God/Jesus/the Holy Spirit have become more and more apart of my life. I've looked for love and happiness in alot of other ways but in most cases have found only hurt and emptiness. I know God exists and that He loves me first and foremost because He has told me and because I feel/experience His presence and His love in a way as real as I experience a feeling of euphoria from skydiving. I have not deeply explored other religions but know that Christianity is right for me in the same way that I have not been hanggliding but know that I would rather skydive. Good on ya for asking these questions. Life as a Christian is not necessarily easy, but you can't beat the retirement plan. Bless ya dude.

Is there an official world record for a nude RW/FS skydive? If not an official record, what is the current unofficial record? I have searched previous threads (from a year and a half ago) and there is mention of 21 for a RW dive. Anyone? The only thing worse than a cold toilet seat is a warm toilet seat.

Yeah, from having seen Airspeed in the tunnel and having just checked out some of the photos on their website, it is fair to say that some of the team members definitely fly with their knees wider apart than their shoulders. This position would seem to produce more lateral stability and stillness. Also, there is more than one way to stop forward movement - 'digging in' the legs is just one option. Hey Cookie, your profile says that you jump at Toogoolawah. I plan to spend a few weeks there later this year - would be nice to 'know' someone. Are you a Broncos fan??

Why isn't skydiving part of the X-Games?
wilmshurst replied to gerryfuss's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Here's what I heard: Skysurfing was cut from the X-Games because it did not have the participant base (number of participants) that the other sports did. This was an important factor for the companies sponsoring the event - that is, the big corporates (such as Taco Bell?) that want to sell to teens, etc. They also cut the adventure race from the X-Games -another event that was truly extreme. The X-Games are still entertaining, but not as cool. I still appreciate the way the participants act at the X-Games. It is common to see them encouraging each other and winning does not seem as important as giving it your all and laying down something sick. I have seen people throw their trophy/medal into the crowd. These people seem to truly embrace the Olympic spirit at a time when the Olympics has come to involve performance enhancing drugs and professional athletes with multi-million dollar contracts and endorsements.

St. Michael, patron Saint of parachutists.
wilmshurst replied to metalslug's topic in Skydiving History & Trivia
Nothing wrong with asking saints to intercede - or Mary for that matter I didn't know that angels could be saints. I assumed that only humans could be. Here's my skydiving prayer: Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death - may it not be now. Amen. Nice to know that there is a patron saint of parachutists.

A few years back the word on the street was that black skydiving canopies were to be avoided because they gave narly openings. There doesn't seem to be any aversion to black canopies among BASE jumpers. Is this because black canopies open fast, which is a good thing in BASE, has the problem been solved, or was I just exposed to a skydiving myth?

All the best to you and yours Faber Keep up the good work dude. The only thing worse than a cold toilet seat is a warm toilet seat.

For those of you that snigger at cessna DZ's, they are typically saver in the event of an engine failure than a light twin. Single engine aircraft glide. Light twins - unless flown well given an engine failure - have a tendency to enter 'pin your arse to the inside of the cabin so tight that you can't even kiss it goodbye' kinda death spins.

That's some big balls you've got to ride the plane down, especially since I assume that you have to do another DRP before being cleared again. You display top judgement and that will keep you breathing. As long as you are still breathing, there's always another jump to have fun and improve. As for relaxing, try to be as prepared as possible before you jump. Do things during the previous days and hours that help you to relax, that you enjoy, and that you are good at (for example, exercise or watch your favourite comedy). Get to the DZ early and sort things out so you are not hurried when it is time to jump. And, yeah, have a nice breakfast and drink enough fluid.
