That's insane. Just my $0.02, how good of a spot can you get with it? I get the feeling that if you were on the upper level and the last to get out, you would walk back to the DZ. “- - Sumo is the greatest of sports. It has power, grace, speed and cluture.

Take your time, or at least get a jump or two in before you think about buying you own gear For your AFF course, just have fun. Wait until your close to getting your A before you think about gear. By then you should have an idea of what you want from your rig. “- - Sumo is the greatest of sports. It has power, grace, speed and cluture.

Well, it all started around grade 10 when I came up with an awesome way of showing up at my high school grad dance. I wanted to skydive in! Land, collapse my chute, take of my jumpsuit and reveal my tux as I walk in the front door as though it was nothing. HAHA, it would have beaten any guy borrowing his uncle's BMW! But then again I also wanted to drive up in an APC. I guess I'm just a dreamer. However, the dream of skydiving stuck with me even after reality had crushed my spirits. When a friend of mine did a project about skydiving, I started bugging for him to take me. And, 4 months later, he did (3 months after the grad dance). And my dad still hates him for it Thanks Ben! “- - Sumo is the greatest of sports. It has power, grace, speed and cluture.

New Skydiver's Question...About Reserve Chute

Ben comes to my rescue! Thanks, and I updated my profile, 13 jumps. And check out cool-points.com To everyone else, thanks for the advice, not having my arms completly straight in front of me is a great idea. Going to give it a try next time I jump. thanks “- - Sumo is the greatest of sports. It has power, grace, speed and cluture.

I'd like to do a hanging exit on a C182, then right into a back flip. The advice I got from some people at my DZ was while hanging, tilt your head back, kick my legs up hard just as I let go of the strut, and leave my arms extended. I'm hoping that will make a pretty cool exit if its ever caught on video. Anyone have any other suggestions? thanks “- - Sumo is the greatest of sports. It has power, grace, speed and cluture.

What do your parents think of your skydiving?
tinfoil replied to andy2's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Well, my mom is okay with it. She has watched my first jump video, and tries to understand why I like it so much. At the moment she's giving me a loan so I can buy my first rig. My dad is another story. Leaves the house when I play my first jump video, can't stand me talking about it, and gives one of the "I'm very disappointed in you" looks when I get back from a day at the DZ. Oh, and he hates the guy got me started in the sport. Doesn't run in the family though, his 78 y/o aunt loved my video. “- - Sumo is the greatest of sports. It has power, grace, speed and cluture.

Your letting the actions of a few individuals condemn an entire country. While I'll admit, this does seem to be a very repulsive crime, I wouldn't say its any worse then the suggestion of returing soldiers who are burried in France to the US.

I'm not too concerned on how it will look on my resume, not sure if I'll even put it on. I just want to work at a porn store because I need something to do. And its a nice chain store to, except most of the people who work their seem to be real SOB's. But here's what I have thus far, any comments? To whom it may concern, I am currently a full time student who is actively seeking part time employment in one of the world’s most exciting industries. I am confident that I can contribute to the success of Adults only Video. I can offer you following experience: • An enthusiastic person who currently balances a full time course load and track club membership • Excellent customer service skills, and a pleasant telephone manner • Several years of service in effectively dealing with the public • Cashiering experience with no balancing problems • Immediate part time availability and full time availability as of May • Own transportation In addition, it might be of interest to you to know that I am fully certified in CPR and First Aid. I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you and explain further how I can contribute to your success. Sincerely, Chris Steers “- - Sumo is the greatest of sports.

Howdy, I'm about to email my resume to apply for a job, but I'm not sure what to put for the cover letter. Oh, and this is for a job to work at a porn store BTW. Should I just start to rant about what an expert on porn I am? Or give a detailed description of my extensive pornography collection (which, sadly, doesn't exist). I don't know, I'm at a bit of a loss for this. “- - Sumo is the greatest of sports. It has power, grace, speed and cluture.

Way to be noble Vallerina. It reminds me of something that I could use someone's opinion on though. I'm planning to break up with my girlfriend tonight. I've been planning to do this for about, ohhh, 3 months (which is half the relationship). Everyone I know is yelling at me to do it, and I finally plan to! There's a catch, her parents are going away this weekend, and she'll have the house to herself... Should I take the noble route and break up with her today? Or put it off for a week because I know I'll get some play this weekend? “- - Sumo is the greatest of sports. It has power, grace, speed and cluture.

Ahhh, memories. I remember my first girl friend, at the tender age of 15 or so (I was a late bloomer, there's nothing wrong with that! :). She was a year younger then me, which at the time was unthinkable in my high school. But the thing I remember most was the breakup. Got a drink then went for a walk in the park. I thank god she only got ice tea when, because when I told her she threw it in my face. I didn't realize how cleaver she was until that moment though, because while I was blinded by the ice tea, I couldn't see the punch coming, and it knocked me flat on my ass. “- - Sumo is the greatest of sports.

SCUBA divers - coral reef infection ( a question )
tinfoil replied to mountainman's topic in The Bonfire
No idea about the coral, but going form my experience with nasty water and closed beaches, you can get infections from drinking water. Most of the time it’s unlikely, unless you choke badly on the water. “- - Sumo is the greatest of sports. It has power, grace, speed and cluture.

So... uhhh.. any idea if your going to sell your rig? kidding I'm very sorry to hear that Marz. I can't only imagine what its like, being faced with the possibility of giving up something that you love. Hopefully this was a one time thing, and that in time your doctor will say that its ok for you to jump again, and that you have the confidence to do so. good luck “- - Sumo is the greatest of sports.

So very very many questions, and I'll chip in my $0.02. But first let me say that I'm just a student, I don't work at a dropzone so I can't answer your first question, but I can tell you how my small local DZ works. Students pay for their first jump first with a deposit of between $100 and the full cost of the jump, this is payable with your registration when you give to the DZ a week or two before you jump. If someone only pays $100 or so, you pay the rest after your jump. As for what happens if someone wusses out, if the plane is still on the ground, I think the student gets everything back (think). If the plane is in the air, sorry, no refunds. The courses run pretty much every weekend in the summer, no limit for the minimum number of people who they will do it for as the owner are the instructors. It seems to work well, as the DZ has been running since the 80's Hope that helps! “- - Sumo is the greatest of sports. It has power, grace, speed and cluture.

Hehe, I love some of these replies. What I posted wasn't that bad, you if want bad you should hear my ultimate sexual fantasy (something that could make grown men cry). Interesting though about the number of messed up pictures that I just happen to have around... I usually have more :) “- - Sumo is the greatest of sports. It has power, grace, speed and cluture.
