  1. I always need a spanking, but there are not many volenteers. (Read: Single, hot, skydivers - preferably masters in tantra) I think true friendship is under-rated Twitter: @Dreamskygirlsa
  2. Great to hear that everything is on track. Just a question, the cost of the suit is set at R8 000. My GTI cost R6 000 brand new less than a year ago. What is the thought process behind such a difference in the pricing model. Surely there should be some incentive to try the new guy on the block. I am not sure that introductory offers are supposed to be more than what you can currently get that is tried and tested. I for one am looking forward to flying one. Good luck on your new project.

  4. Pity you say that, I have half my family living in TexASS. You should open your mind and give it a try. You might like it. I think true friendship is under-rated Twitter: @Dreamskygirlsa
  5. Hi Chick, I was thinking along the lines of getting him onto a load. Always good to have friends in high places. Thanks for the congrats, course was HECTIC, but we all flew through with flying colours. As for the fat chicks, I have not seen any on our DZ for quite some time really... The boys must be getting hungry. I think true friendship is under-rated Twitter: @Dreamskygirlsa
  6. Quote So answer me this. If I'm a Big Ass American who wants to shoot Big Ass Bullets out of a Big Ass Gun at some seriously Big Ass Animals will there be something for me to _do_ once I get down there on a Big Ass Boeing Plane Or must I eat tofu? Yay, bring your big ass american ass here with your big ass gun so I can shoot your big ass with your big gun, so you can leave our precious animals alone. And we might just braai you for dinner. Humph, go hunt something in your own back yard and leave our fantastic and majestic animals alive thank you very much!! Peej, shame for promoting hunting here. Surely there are enough fat ass chicks to leopard crawl after in the dark at the DZ. Or maybe they have all just left and only the hot chicks are left. Anyway Cocheese, come on over, the water is warm and the weather is fine. Sheri has already promised lots of favours to you if you pack her chute. Yay for Summer - bring this shit home!!

  7. A bit late on this one, but regulation in SA require at least 50% of the formation to have visual alti's for 8 or less people and 25% of 8 or more. For camera, it is mandatory. I use my alti for students, and under canopy. I always have my audible and i am getting a neptune for more accurate measurements for landings. My one issue, is where are you after/just before a cutaway if you don't have a visual alti, and there is the chance of the audible going flat.... I suppose it is what makes you comfortable.

    I'm for sale

    I think Sheri has the best offer so far as well. Can she rent you out to her friends? I could do with a slow pack job as well, but no need to go down in November you can sort Sheri out with that! I can go harvies on the plane ticket! I think true friendship is under-rated Twitter: @Dreamskygirlsa
  9. Adidas - I am a sponsored athlete. White campus with a blue stripe. They have a hologram on the back. Pretty cool. I think true friendship is under-rated Twitter: @Dreamskygirlsa
  10. Yes, and I don't fly well. I have to medicate on team training days as well as hot turbulent days I think true friendship is under-rated Twitter: @Dreamskygirlsa
  11. Just wait till they wear stretchy white pants.... I think true friendship is under-rated Twitter: @Dreamskygirlsa
  12. If you check it, ensure you lock it with Tie Downs. They can then squeeze them open without breaking your zips or locks. Don't pack any weights or lead things in the bag, place these in your normal luggage checked as well. I carried on my helmet with protrack etc. I think true friendship is under-rated Twitter: @Dreamskygirlsa
  13. I initially hated my job so I quit and started my own company. Now I love my boss, love the working hours and love what I do. Now if I can make more money on the skydiving weekends...... I think true friendship is under-rated Twitter: @Dreamskygirlsa

    No Beer

    Well what do you do in a situation where beer is the tradition. We had a first jumper initiation and the whole thing is about beer and drinking as much as you can and the balance going down your pants. One guy brought a Coke, and the Inst was horrified. He gave him a choice - Beer or naked run to the student landing pit. He chose the beer and I had the privilage of pouring 99% of it down his pants. He just pretended to drink some of the foam. Afterwards, I got thinking, what if he was in AA, or recovering from an alcohol thing or lost a family member or friend to drinking and driving. He was the designated driver to all his friends. Our DZ is also an hour drive from home. I later found out he was a Doctor (Chiropractor) and has probably seen more damage than good from drinking and driving. I felt quite bad. But he did get me back taking me Rap jumping the next weekend........ I think true friendship is under-rated Twitter: @Dreamskygirlsa

  17. The Audience is the Skydiving Community. So skydiving terminology is good. I think true friendship is under-rated Twitter: @Dreamskygirlsa
  18. Please help, needing to write some skydiving articles, and need some cool intro's. Any cute/funny/clever starts? I think true friendship is under-rated Twitter: @Dreamskygirlsa
  19. Hey, it is not that bad. I manage to get my mom to the DZ once a year and she sees that I can land better than most people. She also worried lots in the beginning, and I also stopped getting the monday morning calls. On a Friday, if she called, I knew not to tell her I was jumping. I also reminded her that I had more injuries doing Gymnastics as a child, than I have had doing Skydiving as an adult. She was bullied into doing a tandem last month, and she hated it, but is secretly proud of herself, and does take some credit. I suppose it all boils down to education. Never say it is a safe sport. You can die, so they need to know the dangers, but they can also know the stats and realise that it is less dangerous than other activities (Drinking and driving) She was also really proud when I got my national colours and they all support lots when we are doing fundraising for teams etc. She even came to say goodbye at the airport when we left for the World meet last year. Pretty awesome. Just tell them how much you love it, and they should be happy that you are happy. Skydiving is not for everyone, so you may just seal your fate if you get them to jump as well.....

  22. I am one practical girl who has to make decisions on other people's behalf all day, so to me, romance is: Telling me we are off to the movies, tickets booked, choice of movie made and restaurant selected for dinner. Ordering my fav McDonalds meal on the way home and surprising me. Offering me the chicken wing Running a hot bubble bath and just soaking in it chatting. Giving me a massage Bringing me hot chocolate in bed on a cold day DVD's, creme soda cold drink and ghost pops to eat on veg on the couch day Feeding me sushi when I am sick Ok, mainly things that involve food, but I am a sucker for someone who stimulates my mind, which in turn Returning my phone calls Test messaging me - not anything specific, just a reminder that I am on his mind. e-mails - Songs, poems, "just to say hi" List is really endless, but it is the small things that count. Being a bit jealous when other people are talking to me, Seeing him look at me across the room and smile Him remembering something personal I have told him and sharing a private moment in a room full of people. I miss all this. I think true friendship is under-rated Twitter: @Dreamskygirlsa
