  3. So no shit, there I was..... thought I was gonna die bad body position after being relatively uncurrent. I was leading a tracking dive and after everyone broke off I turned belly to earth and dumped at the same time. 3 good spins and I was done with it as it was not getting better at a rapid rate. chopped and the rsl did it's job faster than I could pull silver. I use the two handed method, but there is no way to beat an rsl. I had a handle in each hand and a nice pd 143 over my head before I had time to think about it. crash landed in front of all my friends I never got scared until after the fact.

  11. I recently passed my Strong tandem certification and did my first "real" tandems this weekend. It was a hell of a lot of work, and a hell of a lot of fun. I took eight students over the weekend, and learned more than I ever imagined. Thanks so much to all of the big dog instructors on my DZ who helped make this happen. You guys rock! TK....... eat dirt old man! edited to add: I feel like someone beat the hell out of me with a large stick. I didn't realize the work involved. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
  12. A firefighter is working on the engine outside the station when he notices a little girl next door in a little red wagon with little ladders hung off the sides and a garden hose tightly coiled in the middle. The girl is wearing a firefighter's helmet. The wagon is being pulled by her dog and her cat. The firefighter walks over to take a closer look. "That sure is a nice fire truck", the firefighter says with admiration. "Thanks", the girl says. The firefighter takes a closer look and notices the girl has tied her wagon to the dog's collar and the cat's testicles. "Little Partner", the firefighter says, "I don't want to tell you how to run your rig, but if you were to tie that rope around the cat's collar, I think you could go faster." The little girl replies thoughtfully, "You're probably right, but then I wouldn't have a siren." Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

  14. You'll be fine. I'm sure your skills are much better than the average guy with 38 jumps. All of your friends just don't understand what a natural you are. I mean hell, you have 38 good landings, what more do they want? I say you skip the stilleto and go straight to a sub 100 cross brace, that way you'll have a little room to grow and learn. If you are not a troll you are a complete jackass. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

  17. Quote Kinda reminds me of the one time I forgot to arm my CYPRES and realized it half-way up the climb. I was like, "Uh oh... Let's be careful on this jump! ------------------------------------------------------------ so.... having a cypress allows you to not be careful on the rest of your jumps?

    Zoo

    a zoo dive generally means that the dive goes to shit, with people flailing about like idiots. It usually refers to larger dives. Maybe a circus dive would be a better description. A: how did your dive go? B: It was a freakin' zoo Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
  22. yes, that's very true, and I already thought of that. But, I've spent some time with this fellow and for some reason I'm not shocked. Disgusted and pissed off but not shocked. Besides that, I'm pretty damn sure that they didn't arrest his ass for no good reason. I could all be a mistake, ya never know. I'm following my gut on this one, and my gut is telling me he's a dirty fuck. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

  25. Quote she said she had been skydiving before, that a friend had a cessna and loaned her his rig ------------------------------------------------------------ I had a fellow try to convince me of this once. He told me he had " a whole bunch of jumps" and that he was cuurently learning how to do "tricks". This guy was such a backwoods redneck I didn't even bother to argue with him. I asked him what kind of tricks he could do and his reply was " just all the usual tricks" Needless to say I didn't believe him Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
