    They paid me really well. I paid you really well. FIFY And I kept your airplane from hitting other airplanes. Even?

    Your profile's as empty as my wallet. . .

    You can rent the VHS tape in a couple of years, mate.

    If they had remade it at a certain point it would have been skysurfing, right? Whatever has the public's imagination at the time.

    Too many movies today seem to be like watching a video game, with one unbelievable escape after another.

    Thanks for the post. Best wishes for a safe and amazing competition tomorrow.

    The only one trying to be superior was the douche bag talking back. Kudos to the jumper who pointed out the mis-routed chest strap.

    Very perceptive insight, Doug. I think you may be the closest to the truth.

    Great. Now we'll have a whole new generation of students showing up the the DZ wanting to make 3 minute freefalls and "open the chute at the last possible second!"

    Here's someone who knows what she's doing. BTW, I took that pic of my nephew's tandem with my hand held Canon Powershot pocket camera. Not bad, eh?

    Good response. Mine probably would have been "obviously he doesn't." You should have gotten a huge "Thank you." The best of the best also tend to be the most humble and willing to learn. Maybe these guys will figure that out with time. In the meantime, keep eye balling their gear and keep your distance from them in the landing pattern.

    You too? The tunnel has really helped sharpen my flying.

    The magazine is part of the membership. There's been times we've had 3 magazines a month in our mailbox. .. . If you're not getting yours, give 'em a call.

    You'd think "masturbation injury" would cause some kind of reaction, but the people who know me are simply unsurprised and assume it's true!! Hmmm... I got nothin' to say back.

    Haha, you say "ready set go" and leave. They stay in the plane and exit 10 seconds later for a separate skydive.

    There's some great ones here but frankly I like your explanation the best.

    I always keep quiet when I'm jumping on my birthday. A closed mouth gathers no pie-in-the-face. . . . I made my 3000th jump on one of my b-days. Vskydiver ensured I got mega-pied. . . Now I don't tell her when I'm coming up on a "K" jump.

    You might be on to something, N@. Our caveman (or cavewoman) brains have not adapted to the internal combustion engine and its higher speeds. Just today I had another close incident. A bike crossed the street against the light opposite of my direction of travel and against traffic. As I started to pull forward to make a right hand turn on the red light, he suddenly veered 90 degrees left right in front of me and glared as I slapped the brakes. A little pissed, I rolled down my window and said "Sorry, I didn't know you were going to turn in front of me." No signal, of course.

    Still in Maui? Are you living there now or just extended vacation?

    Super good points. I had never thought of those. Too many motorists AND pedestrians give too little thought to how things are supposed to work. I've witnessed a number of auto and auto/pedestrian accidents, once from POV. It can focus the mind greatly.
