Just a thought: In skydiving, shouldn't you get nervous if you stop getting nervous? Anxiety is not the same as fear; it is a catalyst that can save you.

Your right, I'm gonna quit cause it's getting boring. So, now I sit on my hand until it gets numb. Then, I rub one out!! It's not like masturbating anymore is it? ...because it feels like a stranger.

Here is two that I just saw on America's Funniest Videos: Seran (sp?) Wrap between the hallway walls. You can't see it, that the person walks, face first right into it!!!! LOL or... Put flour into the hair dryer. Mostly for girls I guess. But the flour goes all over their head!!! Bwaahahahahhaaaa!!!

you should make 'work' one of your answers. it is possible to work and make a good living while learning and skydiving frequently. i would advise you to think of a good plan a go with it. i worked, paid for my b.s. and an m.s., finished a mortgage, and in the meanwhile did about 1200 jumps. somewhere in there I started a business too.

Freefliers beware... 180 go-arounds can be dangerous

What happened to the replies on this thread!!! ?? -
Kansas, I was bit by one last weekend!!! On the elbow. Honestly, the spider never showed his face. There are hundreds of these Brown Recluses crawling around the house. I am assuming it was one of them. No fang marks are showing. Like I said, it was on the elbow and it would be hard to see that anyway. Basically, I woke up with a pain on my elbow. Almost like something banged into it - like the corner of a table or something. After about three hours, it looked like a golf ball was underneath the skin. My cousin kept saying that it looked like one of those cartoon elbow's - like Popeye's. At peak, it felt like someone hit me in the elbow with a baseball bat. I took some benedril and put ice on it. The ice seemed to help most. It has been a little over a week and the repercussive pain just went away. Definitely gave me a new form of arachnophobia. It sucks for sure.

Sunshine, Example: Last year you made 20k. This year you make 25k. Take the difference (5k) and divide by last years salary. In this case 5 divided by 20 = 25% raise.

The company I am with is doing really well but is not giving any raises. In fact, rumors are that salary cuts will start happening next year. Now-a-days, more bucks come from your own independent diligence. In other words, start a financially lucrative idea and go with it.

Reporters, in general nowadays, are getting cute. Too bad they only give out the torso and up shots. Who's that chick that always looks cross-eyed though? And the fact that they can read the teleprompter gives me a boner. A chick that can read...yummy. LOL

Ok, Well maybe this will clear things up. We had an arguement about who was hotter Kursten or Jessica Simpson. I personally think Jessica looks like the A-typical Hollywood blonde with a really bad nose and face. Help me out here...

This is going to bite me in the ass but... Kirsten Dunst Friends at work can't seem to mock this fact enough...but I am totally in love with her.

It has its ups and downs just like being a relationship (uhm, long term anyway). There is something rewarding about being independent and fine-tuning personal virtues that a relationship seems to hinder (IMHO) - or 'compromise' may be a better word.

Yeah Wendy, I have to agree. This sums up our sport and even better...the keys. A few extra lines about how much fun we all have at these places would have been nice. Some of us try to avoid using the sport to raise hell, then again, some do not. Some are safe and some are unsafe. Sometimes we fly and sometimes we party. It is close to the common outside perspective - I would think.
-
Sarah was a beautiful woman who had a matching spirit - that is what comes to mind. She was earnest and kind...anyone could see that immediately upon meeting her. My best to all of the friends were close with Sarah. Ron, from what I'm told we lost a skilled freeflyer in you and someone with vibrant personality. Blue ones forever. -Dave

DAMN, you sky chickies are kickin it!!! 18!!!...nicccccceee. Congratulations to everyone on the jump.
-
I understand that feeling. The first time an incident occured at the DZ while I was there, I didn't jump for a couple of months just to think about the sport and what it meant. But after coming up with several conclusions about skydiving, just kept going non-stop after that.

Bwwwwaaaahahahahahahaahahahahahahaaaaaaa!!!!

Highest Number of Jumps Before 1st Cutaway?
Vertifly replied to nerd137's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
At 2300ish right now without a chop to date. It gets difficult to be in the air that long without a problem. I dislike the idea of thinking I'm getting too comfortable. Never underestimate in this sport imho. -
Being cryptic is always fun. Mine means vertical flight

I don't know, but i'd like to watch you try squeezing a coach jump out of him. Best of luck with that.

Dude, it's my 'assumption' that Olav doesn't even care. He probably trademarked the name just in case the sport name began generating a significant amount of revenue - like on TV or with large competitions. We're going to need about 40 years before that happens. Though, it was probably a good idea if he ever has grandkids and wants to leave them a mini-dynasty. Heh, gives new meaning to coining the phrase. Freefly, Freefly, Freefly, Freefly, Freefly, Freefly, Freefly, Freefly, Freefly, Freefly, Freefly, Freefly, Freefly...... How much do I owe for that?
