Oh I was referring to being on the ground. If we're manifested be better be ready to get on the load as soon as the plane has landed. In the air the pilot gives permission for us to open the door as well. Flying mostly Cessna's we ain't in a hurry to get off - much better to get a good spot

Posted about it once before but my skydiving related dreams now have a recurrent theme: 1) I'm always in someone else's space (or they're in mine) come pull time. No matter how hard and where I track, there's at least on bugger right next to me 2) Openings just prior to hitting the ground. Dream stops (or I cannot remember more) just before full deployment of canopy. I'm pretty sure I'd be alright, but not definitely so. It could be worries about colliding with others during deployment and not having a chute over my head/low pulls. Could be something else? Any hints? I mean, it's almost always a variation of theaforementioned themes. Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst

DUH. Well, I'll get to see you there if not on this earth . Man I am a stupid idiot at times. "Wonder where Viking will go and I don't even catch it. DUH again. Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst

Wow CrazyIvan, I dunno how it is in the US, but we get a royal chewing here if we're not ready when the jump ship is. And newbies giving orders to old timers is almost as bad. Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst

Heheh Andy, yer quite right. unfortunately I have the bad habit of thinking like this: "ooog poor poor me I dinnae get to skydive! What am i to do now?!?" "Oh wait, I did save some money by not jumping. I could spend them on whores, booze and gambling!" Chute: yah, yer right about that.

Here we're thrown into a stinky foul pond instead. Just got my cert and haven't dared to show my face at my DZ. Have jumped from another one instead. But they're very patient at my club and the longer I wait, the colder the water will be. Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst

That's one cool pic! But Muenkel, isn't the lights of heaven supposed to be white? I sorta wonder where Viking is heading

It's posts like these who suddenly make me not so unhappy living in a 'welfare' country with high taxes. Since I'm unemployed, I ain't even paying that much in taxes . I wouldn't jump without an insurance in the US, period. Medical bills get really big really fast. Luckily for me I'm covered by the Danish system even if I were to go to the US and jump.

Ahhh!! You mean the songbook that was linked on Wendy F's webpage..... that one.... you should have said so.... I shoudda said so? Listen here you son of a pregnant urin stained yak jacket, I came here all happy and stuff and you and your no good bunch of wankers-on-a-stick friends basically opened up my guts, tied my intestines to a rock and rolled me over the edge of a cliff for an improvised bungee jump! Should have said so?!? Here's what I should have said, you piece of distended rectum reject matter: "Go piss on an electric fence you retarded, sheep shagging piece of walking feces. May your bowels overflow with the watery bile that keeps on running through what only your mother would call a mouth. May your member go limp in front of 15 Playboy bunnies. You deserve nothing but a boot placed so far up your behind you'll taste leather for a week." But I didn't, becauase I'm a genuinely friendly chap who wants to get along. And what do I get in return? [B]YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID SO?!?!?!? THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ME WHY ARE YOU ASKING THIS ALL THE TIME HAS THE WORLD GONE MAD YOU JUST DON'T GET IT DO YOU BUT WHY OH WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE ME... Never mind.

Since you lazy slobs were of no help I had to googlerize myself. What's the world coming to - no one there to do my job? Geesh. Anyway, because I am such a regular good guy and sharing and all other good adjectives I can think of (and I *am* being modest here), I'll share with you the URL which took me 5 long minute to find. Parachute Songbook. It's in PDF format and if some of you bastards are too stupid to work out a way to view it, well, bugger off. You don't deserve this. I'm way too nice and considerate, sharing this treasure with a bunch of degenerate plebeians whos concept of hygeine is imitating a dog, with a combined IQ that can be measured by looking at your shoe sizes and subtracting an arbitrary number no smaller than 5. Now sod off. Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst

Here's Mad Max The Terrorizer. He barks and scares children and anyone else but once home he's the sweetest most playful dog around. Even if he keeps on walking at your heels thinking you got food hidden somewhere on ya Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst

Depends on the time the g-s are endured. There was this crazy doctor in the US Air Force who put himself up on a rocket sled, fired it up and then came to a sudden stop in water. He pulled several times 20g's - but only for a very short time period. And survived. Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst

Yah that's what I've been thinking. Bah, bloody windy today anyhow, so no jumping. Well if I was to jump only when I didn't feel any pain, I'd not jump very much at all. Old injury to the wrist is almost always acting up. I'll do as adviced though and not jump with anything that's been recently hurt. Thanks you |337 d00d(3773$).

AggieDave, this should teach you the benefits of having a handcranked operated refridgerator They help ya work up a mighty thirst, too. Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst

Had a couple of hard pulls on student gear with ripcord. Then had a really easy one. I had the ripcord in my hand and was looking at it thinking 'ummm, is it usually this short or has the thing broken off?' Felt like a long time before the canopy opened right there and then

Alright, so I bust up my (already bad) hand in an incident involving me, a car that apparently hadn't got any brakes and a driver that apparently had no wits. I get some pain killers from doc - pretty weak stuff, codeine and paracetamol combination. They got a red warning triangle on 'em, so it seems there can be some reduction of abilities to drive a car. Taken two, don't feel any different (except pain is reduced). Going skydiving in 5 hours or so - or planned to. Not sure it's a good idea - any hints/tips/general guidelines?

Yep, I read about that study and at the time I started wondering how many fathers there are who unwittingly are raising kids that ain't their own. Heh, there's an argument for remaining single Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst

Baaah you're all wrong. The Scheissfeure is ugly. The 190D9 now, that is a sweet plane. Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst

Heheh, yeah, that's why it's sung primarily when there's a tandem on the plane . The looks on their faces is priceless and it does add an extra touch to their video I like these verses the best: He hit the ground, the sound was "splatt" the blood it spurted high; His comrades, they were heard to say: "What a pretty way to die!" He lay there rolling around in the welter of his gore, And he ain't gonna jump no more. VIII There was blood upon the risers, there was brains upon the 'chute, Intestines were a-danglin' from his para- trooper suit; They picked him up still in his 'chute and poured him from his boots, And he ain't gonna jump no more. And the last one of course. Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst

If ya jump mainly from Cessnas you'll pretty quickly find ways to use the 30-35 minute ride to altitude. Brockian ultra Cricket doesn't work because there's no way of running away and saying 'sorry' - at least not til the door is open. Singing skydiving related songs work though. Especially if there are first time students/tandems on, then it works even better. They work best after sunset and a couple of litres of beer though. My fav gotta be "Blood on the risers" but there are others I know nothing about except the chorus. So 'spit 'em out if ya got 'em Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst

Danish studies rock. I support spending tax dollars on studying fornication, even if there's no explanation for the results. We do this nowadays since it's a long time since we could put our longboats out and go kill French people. I just hope that *I* will participate more directly in these studies in the near future Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst

I don't clean it coz the buggers who live in it have long since demanded, fought for and obtained rights. Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst
