  1. Ummm - me? I hear yah though, not to mention show me more than a handful of DZOs doing really well for themselvs -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  2. I understand that completely - I understand how to plan so that doesn't occur - I'd just rather HAVE A CYPRESS if I get hit in the head is all. Shit does happen. -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  3. Be ready to plf like a mofo. -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  4. Wow - make sure you don't get hit in the head my friend. -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  5. Boss shmoss - good luck wit it SunnyDeeee!! -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --

  7. What "argument" do you speak of?? -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  8. "Maybe not the best environment for a child, but he's turned out just fine." Now see - originally I had that view on kids at the DZ as well - but the fact of the matter is, most skydivers WILL put it how it is and not beat around the bush, which imho is the way it should be. Kids learn faster when honesty is the policy which again imho alot of parents don't get. -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  9. Never - you will always be learning -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  10. Just curious was all folks - there are quite a few non working cameramen running around the three DZs I frequent. If you asked me to, I'd film it if I was around. Anyways - dropping it as suggested. -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  11. Sorry meant to add -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  12. You can't find extra video on a big ass DZ (correct me if I am wrong but isn't Skydive Dallas large and in charge)??? -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  13. Or eight -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  14. You found me out -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  15. Welcome to learning. Its party of the whole sport... Its normal. Shit happens. Just learn from it
  16. Free alti has definately been granted to the ta ta's. -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  17. I guess I'd make someone with 30 jumps lie on the ground or creeper and show me how to use a throw out since it only takes 20 seconds to repack. Strange though. Lucky for her eh?? -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  18. No - I'm with you on that one - I'd bet the majority of jumpers that get their A license drop out for one reason or another - or that's been my experience over the past ten years anyhow. -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  19. Its normal - you'll get more and more used to it the more regularly you jump - take ibuprofen and beer. -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  20. In fact most... -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  21. Doh - just read that. Forget my last post - and since I'm jumping the exact same design - thank you for the post... -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  22. Just curious - but how is that Bonehead's fault? A chin strap is a piece of cloth that used in the wrong way WILL do what it did to you. I'm not saying you used it wrong, but you definately abused it wrong. If you really want chin protection, get a full face helmet without a chin strap or get a chin cup. My two cents. -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  23. Does my arm popping out in freefall count as a Mal? I did deploy my reserve, but I've never had to cutaway. I consider myself still perfect with respect to opening Mains knock on alotta wood... -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  24. Well - done, I too check my stuff like 85 times on the way up
  25. Porsche Boxster. Then a good ol lowerd Audi a4 1.8t with 450bhp... MMMMMM -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
