Oh I'm not knocking it. I'm stuck with a Gath for the time being. Is that the same shell as the M3T or whatever? "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

Oooh! Nice with its own little seat belt and all. Couldn't you just buy a light motor bike helmet for that price then? "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

Ever paid an arm and a leg for a part of your gear you really needed. I just spent way too much on a second hand cypres but I needed one and couldn't afford a new one. I guess thats life. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

NO WAY!!!! "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

STOP NOW WHILE YOU CAN! It's gonna F*** you up, like it did me. Like it did all of us. It's just like that movie. Once your in, you can't get out, and the only thing that stops the pain is recruiting more jumpers. I have to go now. I can hear the turbines starting up again. But seriously. What you have gone through is an event that cannot be deleted from your memory. Like a scratch on a record (a CD to all you youngens out there). Chemicals in your brain changed from the norm blah blah blah! I could crap on about that allot but you know the rest. The only advice that I might have is that you buy a house a reliable car and have about $10,000 dollars in the bank for your AFF course etc. And your first set of gear. That way, when you run out of money you can always sell your car OR live in your car and rent out your house to support your habit. Ah! The funny things is. Your laughing at this now but. You'll find out soon enough. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

So I was thinking we could just have a small ceremony. What do you think? "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

My family used to call me 'Ant' when I was a little kid. Oddly enough I am now 6ft and 190lbs. But also because when I look at a big way when they see me as an ant I see them as SkyAnts. I also don't like to identify myself to early due to the fact I have been stalked by at least 2 ex-girlfriends. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

It doesn't bother you that her dog is always there? "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

That kids got freeflyer written all over him. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

Can't you use The FORCE or something? "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

Anyone ever tried "Whistler Cream Ale". YUM YUM! "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

Just do it! "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

I'm thinking of good vibrations. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

GF I think you already 'get it'. My first question would be. Do you have a Sister? It hard to find women that support you with Skydiving. I just broke up with my Girlfriend. Jumping has already change my life. At this stage I'm not even sure if that will be good or bad for me in the long run, but I'm having fun so far. It's created strong feelings in me as it has done with many others in the past. When I should be thinking about other things, I'm thinking about jumping. I think about it when I look towards the Heavens on a beautiful day, I think about it after sex, I think about it when I should be studying or at work(when I'm not driving). I put it on a par with the mystery that is women to me. When people ask me why, I usually respond with "Did you ever dream of flying when you were a child," They generaly reply with a nod to agree, to which my answer is "Well I know what it's like". But then I think it's so much more. When you get that call "THREE MINUTES" your heart starts pounding, the cold air and the noise of the engines rushes in. I think to myself . Hope the chute opens. Step to the door. Wait for good separation. Ok. Then I leap into space and feel an explosion of energy in my body. Then I'm safe again ..in a way. With scattered cloud rushing at me a 200MPH. I feel like that boy who wanted to be a fighter pilot. And I think I know how he feels, as I bank and roll and tumble. Just for a minute though. Then I reach for the ripcord handle as the people start too look like ants, as its time to 'get outta here' then back to reality. Back to mortality I guess. Or something like that anyway. ;) "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

You realize this is yet another example of the poor having sand kicked in there faces(no pun intended). How can poor Skydivers afford such products? If Clinton was still in office you'd be able to get that stuff on public health. Don't you see what Bush is doing to you. The same thing Slick Willy was doing to Monica thats what. You know this is just going to pave the way for shoddy Russian generic brands hitting the market. You know like grapefruit flavor and crap like that. I'm sorry. Got a little emotional back. I always root for the under-dog. So to speak. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

....NICE ONE! "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

Sombody give that man a lift ticket. He's chick has dried him out so bad he has to BASE to get his hit. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

With a name like "softopening" I'm surprised nobody has asked if your gay. But seriously. Is it not knowing that bothers you? I can understand your point about the team bonding though I guess. But you have missed the fact that this guy has one huge asset. NO! Not that. I have not even met the guy. He will probably be able to introduce you to heaps of single female friends. Now thats the kind of buddy I would like to have around. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

That would be great skygal3. If you find any just bus em down to me or pass on my email address. The long-ignored issues Quickdraw was mainly me telling her that I was going to settle down before we got serious. My AFF course sorted that little sucker out. And, her lack of support when I needed a little understanding.(YES you guessed it! I'm another one of these ***kers that gets depressed for no reason.)

Modern paraglider harnesses are way more comfy than a regular harness however. It all sounds kind of painful. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

I feel sorry for the Girls. The average DZ toilet is pretty disgusting. Having to peel your jumpsuit off must be a risky business. Maybe girls jumpsuits should have a zipper that goes alll the way down and around to your butt. By God I'm a genius! But I guess someone has thought of that before. Probably a Frenchmen. Have they bombed any atolls lately? Maybe they could call it the Iran/Iraq. You know... Divided and in between is just a.....

I have seen a few people jumping wearing ski helmets. The Boeri ones don't seem to fit too well. The Carrera ones look cool and seem to have interesting options such as composite models and chin guards etc. How are they for Skydiving? "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

I just broke up with my girlfriend last week. As well as some long ignored issues, she wanted me to give up Skydiving. Is this uncommon? "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

LOL Rogue! Well that new "Vigil" thingy is making the same claim on battery life isn't it? I understand they will even give you one for free if your willing to test it. :) Something like that anyway.

When did they start/finish making rig racer containers? "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
