QuoteAnd you know this how ? "No thanks, I'll just stop at the end of the swoop pond..." ------------------------------------------------------------ It had to come to that didn't it? swoop a thousand times...... bash in one time........ Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

never mind....... Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

They are BRAKES, not breaks. You guys are killing me. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

QuoteI'm still pretty new and I'm got use to having them through student training. I've only made two jumps without an AAD and I didn't feel safe. I just got my first container and reserve, and I already had a main but I decided not to jump it until I got an AAD. I mostly do belly with the occasionally clear and pull, but I don't like hop an pops. ----------------------------------------------------------- I know we've been through this before but I have a real problem with this. If you will not jump without the (possibly false) sense of security of a computer to pull for you, YOU SHOULD NOT BE JUMPING. I don't have a problem with AADs at all, but I would not think twice about jumping without one. I don't have one in my sport rig but jump one regularly with tandem gear. It's just something I turn on, it gives me no peace of mind whatsover. Yes, I could get knocked out, but I tend to pick and choose my skydives accordingly. I refuse to stay on the ground out of fear. I will pull my handles, and if I don't then we all know what happens. If you are relying on a cypres then you have a problem and should take a long, hard look at your skydiving career Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

would you rather i have a drink or the shakes? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

Quotejumping out of a plane does not make you the bravest, coolest, sexiest kid on the block. ------------------------------------------------------------ great.....now I'll never get laid Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

QuoteIf Keith were not gay, he would be getting a TON of pussy. ----------------------------------------------------------- that is one BIG girl Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

Quote: someone sentme a link that said you belonged to the website. is this your site? NSFW oh my god....that was the most disgusting theing I've ever seen Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

I've flown the set-400, Aerodyne A2 and the Icarus 365 and 400. I've found the set to be far more stable in turbulence. It's a freakin' battle axe and so far I would take it over any other tandem canopy. That being said I only have about 650 tandem jumps. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

QuoteThe honest truth... I was just post-whoring and doing a little trolling at the same time, because I'm at work and have nothing better to do! ------------------------------------------------------------ AAHHHAAAA!!!! Stirring the pot! That's what I do. Perhaps you guys are right, maybe I did get a little jumpy, I just get aggravated with crotchety old people. I was a touch hammered, and maybe a little drunk, but I still stand by the general sentiment. I could have been a little more ummmmmmm understanding? edited to add: I also think jumping on the bandwagon is idiotic and dumbass...... Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

QuoteSome of us old farts know the real deal because we were there back in the day and are still here. ----------------------------------------- good, that's great. I'm glad you are still here and I hope you will help me learn. That being said I didn't hear you bitching about the "cripples" and the people trying to make a living. The cripples? what the hell is that ? Who speaks like that? Quote Replying to an overly broad generalization with a presumptuous stereotype. How very persuasive. -------------------------------------- You're kidding right? did you read this guys post? You obviously are smoking the same shit those guys were.......wake up Quote I'd like to give towerrat the benefit of the doubt Did he mean what he said to make a point? Then to bad he missed the mark. ------------------------------------------ Don't bother giving me the benefit of the doubt, I just call em' like I see em'. It amazes me that you guys jump on me after I reply to this strikingly ignorant and closed minded post. While I agree that the sport certainly has deficiencies, I certainly don't think it's the "cripples" fault. Times change. Yes we should learn from the past, I wholeheartedly agree, but move on... Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

" This is the story 'bout a burly lumberjack........" those commercials are twisted and wierd. The creepy King on the T.V. ads are f'ing strange. That shit creeps me out Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

QuoteI must say that the "sport" has now lost its validity as a 'sport". You have got to be kidding me The way I see it is that it's a whole lot closer to being a sport now than it ever has been. I'm sorry we're not all a bunch of hippie stoners in the middle of a corn field like it was " back in your day" , but that's called progress. You freakin old guys never cease to amaze me. Go back to jumping your ragged out airplanes and your death gear while you're too stoned to build a round. Me personally, I'll take it the way it is now. The sport has problems yes, but It's come a long way from dirty hippieville...... Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

QuoteI got my alternator in my Jimmy fixed ----------------------------------------------------------- huh, huh.......you said jimmy.......huh, huh.... Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

are you really doing high performance turns on a crossfire with sixty five jumps and three years in the sport? If this is true........ my humble opinion is that you should use your head for something other than a hat rack...... Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

just try not to think about dying.......that'll just make you more nervous Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

I was drunk In swear!!!!! It only happened the one time......... Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

QuoteThis has got to be the funniest thing I have ever seen! I actually spit coffee all over my desk. I'm buying a bottle for who ever did this. ------------------------------------------------------------ I think it was Billy and Eric. Yes that's Billy "1980's man" Porter and Eric "Metrosexual" Hildebrand..... Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

Does anyone know of any "rainbow" skydiving organizations or forums? I'm just wanting to touch base with some like minded folks. I'm thinking of starting up a club at Z-Hills if anyone's interested. RL Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

all (most) of the pros are dead. it's pretty dangerous. a skyboard can quickly become a spinning death board if you are not extremely vigilant. imagine spinning out of control until your cypres fires only to find yourself wrapped in lines and fabric. not my idea of fun but I guess there's something for everyone.
