Because they tasted bad or because they were intimidated by them? intimidated none of them will go skydiving with me either. "We'll watch you jump!

I once had a party (in college), where I made A BUNCH of Cherry 151 shots. NO ONE WOULD EAT THEM. ... and i couldn't let them go to waste ... I had another party after that, and asked my friends what they would like. "VEGAN jello shots!" WTF? So I tried, with normal vodka. I learned Vegan "Jello" is impossible to make shots with. They were LUMPY, but I made them eat them anyways. B

I got my A license yesterday. So, who wants to jump with me? B

Boys and girls, you are what you eat. Vegetarians taste better.

my last jump, jump #28, was last monday. It was my first stable exit from a 182, also my first "dive exit", and my third stable exit ever. ... i'm starting to like the 182 meow

I got ground for making my sister eat mushrooms I picked from the woods behind our house.

I have a Alti-3, hand mounted. I attached a picture below. Check out the S/N, C13666. I almost returned it. Thank you all so much for your input. The nearest place to get my alti checked is 200 miles away. I've decided to do a solo next, while wearing 2 altimeters. Hopefully I will see the guy who filmed the jump and I will get the video up on skydivingmoves.com. You can see my track ... and you can see me still in freefall after the video guy is under canpoy (and saying OH SHIT). Thank you, Belinda

And I'm not talking about not being able to physically breathe, I'm talking more about anxiety levels. I have No aniexty when I jump. I sometimes fear skydiving will get boring.

I really have no clue. Seriously, on every jump Altitude is the most important thing to me.

I have never been in an altitude chamber and i felt fine. Why do you ask? ... i smoke cigarettes

I wasn¡'t trying for more separation. I jumped with a coach that I have never jumped with before. We planed to break off at 5k with a short track. At around 6 or 7, he gave me a signal that I didn¡¦t under stand, but I knew he wanted me to track. He is very experienced. I later found out he was giving me a signal for a three second track .. maybe he was giving three fingers. I didn¡¦t get time to iron it out on the ground, it took some time to get back to the drop zone, and he got put on another load. There was only time for the altitude awareness talk before his next load. I had to leave to pick up a friend (who was going to make their first jump). We agreed to talk later. I was over the top excited because the guy i was picking up was the first person who was willing to skydive with me. (I spent the day before at the DZ ground for weather. feeling lonely I called and asked this guy to jump... and he agreed immediately to jump the next day with me .. and he is going to again next weekend ) When I turned to track at 6/7 grand after a signal, at the time I thought WTF, this is high and odd. I though I might have mis-read him a broke early. I tracked for a few seconds and stopped, looked at my altimeter and I remember it being above 5. . I remember thinking “Oh, I can have a little more”. After all, 5k was where we had plan to break. I pushed my legs out quickly and brought them back slower, just to feel it. I briefly looked at my Alti just before I threw, just because it is habit, I was mentally already begin to throw. I remember it reading 4k, I have been questioning since if I am remembering reality. But WHILE I was throwing, I remember seeing the clouds and think WTF! And then looking down and seeing the ground like I never had while in freefall. I checked the canopy and it was good but my altimeter read a bit above 1.5k,. Then I checked the canopy again, Looked around, knew I could not make it back to the landing area. Looked at the trees below me, checked my penetration and figured out how I was going to land.. I plan to talk to about what I did wrong with my instructor before my next jump and I decided to start announcing the altitude every time I read it. B Tell me about the sweet-spot trick under canopy.

I love skydiving. I scared the heck out of myself last weekend. I have always had good altitude awareness. This was jump 25. My first jump last Saturday had 1 coach and 1 jumper practicing his camera skills. We left at 11k, I flipped once on exit. Had a GREAT jump, it was all about vertical and forward motion. At 6k I turned to track, they said I have a good track. But then I don’t know what happened. The clouds looked way to closes, they were low that day. I looked at my Alti (not the first time during track), I don’t remember what it read, but it was in the colored section. I was under canopy by about +1.5k. Right after my canopy was over head, I checked it repeatedly fearing I would have a malfunction. It was good. The fear came in after I knew I had a good canopy. And it took a couple of seconds to shake before I started to find a place to land. Everyone thought I was going to end up in a tree, but I made it back to the airport. Set it up so i could land down wind. As soon as I was on the ground, all I could think about was how angry the DZ would be. Airport personnel picked me up and drove me back, I prepared myself to be reamed. I though the dropzone staff would be irate. The first thing they did was give me a hug. Then I got the talk about altitude awareness. I feel like an ass. I feel a little ashamed when I talk to the coach. I just needed to tell get that out for my sake. B -x- I think I might get my license tomorrow.

Not an instructor, but ... On my first tandem, while my instructor was hooking me up he said, "Don't worry. If anything goes wrong, I'll be the last thing through your mind."

Now I think it's funny. Guerilla Iraqis are bombing the county’s infrastructure. That line must have a drop zone load organizer.

A framed picture of the night sky the day they were born, over the place they were born. You can add a message on the bottom also. http://www.indigonight.com/order.htm I recieved this as a present once, I don't think it came form this website as the person also made the frame and it has anchorage's real skyline.

I think they talk about how clean other fire department's poles are.

I would like to see him pay my taxes. I could sport a rig, 200 jumps and 500 soldier lives with that. he's not worth it. now the US is hiding him, if they weren't, the iraq's would come for him. I'm starting to think the iraq's are a bunch of crybabies. edited to say: I rather see the jerk hiding in the mountains caught.

Mine too - but then calculators weren't invented until I was in grad school! I worked on the engine that goes into the F-22 and the JSF at PWA. I guess they thought it was hazying... but my fellow engineers at one point stripped me of ANSYS and NASTRAN/PATRAN and gave me a Post 1460 versalog to use. "But B! What if we loose power?" After PWA, I went to work for TI .......... and quit screw ti! I own 2 Post versalog 1460's now, and can use them. I even have a belt mounting case. *** i feel lonely enough to jump out of a plane now ps: I need 1 new glass viewer, if any one can help.

I sent a PM to Captain gravitymaster. someting cause the water to fall out ... why couldn't it be a jumper? I don't think those kind of clouds would stop jumpers.... but , Do you think you could drop a jumper to cause this? Wind test and hole ... all in one. imagine funding for jumpers preventing pinic rainouts

mildly reminiscent Chuck Palahniuk’s Survivor

If I was lazy and bitter, I would get a job close by and pinkle on the bastard’s car door handles every day at break.

It seems there are many engineers here. Could any one suggest a good book on techinical writing? After seach amazon, I think I am going to order these two: The MIT Guide to Science and Engineering Communication: Second Edition A Guide to Writing as an Engineer ISBN: 0471117153 Thank you.

Because I am a student with 18 jumps, the last being on 9/24/03 and I don't know anyone else who would jump out of a plane.
