noooooooooo............clay is ALWAYS first, c'mon, just this once?? i won't ask for anything for christmas, PROMISE! Richard "Gravity Is My Friend"

i like "quickdraw" yeah, that's kewel! i bet nobody can beat clay to a response to a post!! Richard "Gravity Is My Friend"

the thread got locked before i had a chance to make sure where i was going to be in line when the beatings took place, i still want to be first, and second, third, well you get the picture! i'm twisted, AIGHT? Richard "Gravity Is My Friend" all this b.s. makes me want to jump out of a plane!

clay: what do you get after "fanatic?" Richard

skycat: is there a long line for the beatings? i hope not, wouldn't want to miss my turn! and i don't want to have to wait too long either. oh, i promise to take a bath first!! Richard

yeah, and you get two name changes in one day.......not fair!! Richard

did you check out the dropzones section on this website?

hey gals: excuse my vast and copious ignorance, but i must ask out of sheer curiousity, WTF is a "pee on?" i've heard of peon, piston (that's a metal band) P-On, freon, but never pee-onn, is that a sexaul act?? i'm in!! Richard (for once itz not me! there is a god!!)

freebird will be there, let's all wish her luck! Richard

marc: i'm sure that this jumper is in no serious danger, since everybody and there brother are canopy experts! it's sad that you have to "pick up the pieces" but that's the way it is. how fast can i go, and whats the smallest, highest wingload i can get, precurses safety nowadays...sad but true. i'm in total agreement with lisa's views, and recieved very good advice from my initial divemaster when i originally ordered my first rig, he made damn sure he was right there to make sure i made an informed, intelligent decision, even though i only put 64 jumps on my first canopy, he was right to advise as he did. bottom line, everybody has to know there limitations, and there's always that famous "last page" at every D.Z. i've jumped at, that you have to sign before you jump. safety should come first, it really doesn't matter who knows the most about canopy designs, and mfgrs, what matters is who's landing it, and how much do we care for our newly introduced skydiver's safety. bad things can, and do happen to good people, i see it every day, there is no safety limit on how far we can go, and we all do look out for one another, which is what i see marc doing here, marc, my hat's off to you for bringing this up, knowing it could get you, or others "torched" Richard "Gravity Is My Friend"

Richard "Gravity Is My Friend" P.S. novices, don't try this at home, this stunt was performed by a professional at a closed perimeter!

yesterday one of enron's ex top execs was found in his automobile in sugarland texas with a single gunshot wound to the head, and a suicide note of which contents have yet to be revealed. J. Clifford Baxter apparently took his own life following the debacle at enron, houston's leading (ex leading) energy giants. the senate investagative staff summoned all 52 of enron's execs to capitol hill, to start debriefing them on the chain of events leading to the fall of the corporate giant, starting feb 4th. it's a sad day in america, our own corporations stealing from the poor, and giving to the richer, kinda like the "reverse robin hood" antic. i prophesized that of the 52 summoned to capitol hill to testify, at least 10% would take there'e own lifes before appearing. one down..........so far Richard "Gravity Is My Friend"

thank you. that was what i was instructed to do in AFP. Richard "Gravity Is My Friend"

pilot chute in tow, cut away first or not? i know what i was instructed to do, but would love to hear other's response. i'm curious now on just what to do in an actual mal(s) of this type. what would be your suggestion? Richard "Gravity Is My Friend"

sorry, that was a typo. i meant 500 AGL. but hell, i believe i could survive a 55' fall. be a hell of a plf! J/K Richard "Gravity Is My Friend"
