I know it's hard on you, Johnny! I know you want me so bad it's like acid in your mouth! But not this time! Adios, amigo! I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KIM!!!! I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

Any guy who's been jumping more than three months could tell you that. I occasionally get guys in the first jump class who jokingly answer the "Why are you here?" question with "For the chicks." The response just gets a chuckle and a "Boy are you in the wrong place!" from me. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

Anyone who's never seen Adult Swim can come over to my place and watch my DVR for about 36 hours. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

Yes, the parallel stance is preferred on beginner boards because it allows the jumper to place the board on his or her butt and deploy from a belly-to-earth position. However, a beginner board is only about three feet long, so your arms extend over the ends. Early skysurfers experimented with everything from skateboards to boogie boards to surfboards to snowboards. We've seen boards with wings, boards made out of foam, and all sorts of prototypes. I'm not saying that what you want to do is impossible; I'm simply suggesting that it would have probably been done already if it were as simple as strapping on a snowboard or changing the foot configuration. Modern skyboards have the design they do for very practical reasons. If a simple design change would have allowed for a wider range of tricks and moves, I'm pretty sure Patrick De Gayardon or Jerry Loftis would have discovered it. Find somebody nearby who offers board training and make a few jumps. Once you get a feel for skysurfing, you'll probably have a much better idea what it would take to do the moves you're envisioning.

Skysurfing doesn’t incorporate many surfing moves because it’s not really surfing; it’s skydiving with the added control surface of a board strapped to your feet. In skysurfing, your arms are equally important to your board as control surfaces. That’s why the stance is so “whack,” as you eloquently put it. Your arms need clean air to function as control surfaces, and you can’t get that if the bindings aren’t parallel to the board. We don’t do the same moves as surfers, wakeboarders, skateboarders, snowboarders, etc., because they aren’t falling at 120 miles per hour. As I’m sure you know, skydiving is about FLYING your body on the wind; creating a flip or a spin is about a lot more than just torquing your body in the right direction. Skysurfers don’t jump with snowboards for the same reason skateboarders don’t still ride pieces of plywood with roller skate wheels nailed to the bottom—It’s an inferior, unsafe method. Skyboards were designed after years of trial and error. Snowboards are too heavy, the flared front and back are too wide (anything wider than eleven inches has a tendency to catch your pilot chute in the burble when you try to deploy), and the steeply curved tips can cause out-of-control spins. If you want to revolutionize the sport of skysurfing, first get a few hundred skysurfing jumps on a real skyboard, and THEN start trying to figure out what could be improved.

Is there a free service online to send SMS messages?
Douva replied to kansasskydiver's topic in The Bonfire
Yeah problem is however, I don't always know what provider they're using Too bad. If you knew their service provider you could just send them an e-mail. Most SMS cell phones can send and recieve regular e-mail. For instance, if they have AT&T you use their 10 digit cell phone number and add @mobile.att.net. If they have cingular you use their cell phone number and add @mobile.mycingular.com. etc..... ltdiver Go to http://fonefinder.net/ and enter the number to find out what service they are on.

I stayed there on my last two trips. Didn't have any objections to it. True, it doesn't have a jacuzzi, but they do give skydiver discounts (Days Inn doesn't) plus a refrig and microwave are included in the already cheaper price whereas Days Inn charges an extra $10 for each. It was a nice, clean place for a good price. What problems did you have there? John Did you read my post, John? Our room apparently shared a hot water heater with other rooms. The shower barely worked, and the faucet in the shower actually fell apart at one point and had to be put back together. The maids kept unplugging our fridge each day when they came in to clean and leaving it unplugged. The towels were like old dish rags--You could see through them. I know there were other issues because the constant stream of issues became kind of a running joke throughout the trip. Maybe Brains can remember some of the other problems. I don't require a jacuzzi to be satisfied; I just prefer not to stay in a dump if there are other options. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

Unless you like sharing a hot water heater with other guests and getting the occasional "somebody just flushed" feeling while in the shower. And that's assuming you have the technical expertise to put your shower back together after the faucet falls apart into the tub. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree.

For the last two years, I've been pushing the other people at my DZ to go out and get guns with me so we have something to do on bad weather weekends. Given the terrain here, we could have some great games. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

Exact same thing happened to me once. I called to inquire about the charge and was told my confirmation number wasn't valid. Now, asside from the name of the person I talked to and the confirmation number, I also write down the time and date I called. If they maintain a call log, that might work in your favor.

A man boarded an airplane and took his seat. As he settled in, he glanced up and saw the most beautiful woman boarding the plane. He soon realized that she was heading straight towards his seat. As fate would have it, she took the seat right beside his. Eager to strike up a conversation, he blurted out, Business trip or pleasure?" She turned, smiled and said, "Business, I'm going to the Annual Nymphomaniacs of America Convention in Chicago." He swallowed hard. Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen sitting next to him and she was going to a meeting for nymphomaniacs! Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked, "What's your business role at the convention?" "Lecture," she responded. " I am the lead lecturer where I use information that I have learned from my own personal experiences to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality." He said, "And what kinds of myths are there?" "Well," she explained, "one popular myth is that African-American men are the most well-endowed of all men, when in fact it is the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait. Another popular myth is that Frenchmen are the best lovers, when actually it is the men of Jewish descent that are the best. I have also discovered that the lover with the absolutely best stamina is the Southern Redneck." Suddenly the woman became a little uncomfortable and blushed. "I'm sorry," she said, "I shouldn't really be discussing all this with you. I don't even know your name." "Tonto", the man said. "Tonto Goldstein, but my friends call me Bubba!"
