    You're confusing Terminal Velocity and Drop Zone. Charlie Sheen plays the rebel without a clue skydiving instructor forced to help a beautiful ex-KGB agent foil a plot by the Russian mafia in Terminal Velocity. Wesley Snipes gets dropped out of the bomb bay doors of a Porter and swooped by his TM in Drop Zone, where he plays a federal agent pursuing a gang of skydiving smugglers engaged in a terrorist plot through the seedy underbelly of the skydiving world. Both of these films are passable "B" action films. Point Break is actually a pretty decent flick. Cutaway is unwatchable. If you dislike skydiving movies because they're inaccurate and unrealistic, that's just a sad fact of filmmaking--People hate movies about their "thing." It doesn't necessarily make the films "bad" movies. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

    At least they're not doing that AFF students shooting accuracy BS again. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

    Yeah, well, I had it all weekend. Today I'm feeling a lot better (except for some lingering chest congestion). Fortunately, for me, it was just a cold. I did the sick for three weeks thing a few years ago. That really sucked. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

    Yeah, nothing intimidates us more than a guy huddled under a blanket in the fetal position. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

    Post them here so the rest of us can see them. I personally think the "beer rules" should be included in the first jump course--That way you avoid ambiguity from the start. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

    Said on CNN he thought the nail gun itself had hit him in the face. He'd been taking ibuprophen for a couple of days for the toothache before going to the dentist. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

    Nah, that's our "B" material. We're going to be showing you the good stuff at the Rob Harris Boogie. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

    I take it that you mean actual snuff that is snorted like cocaine and not "snuff" in the general sense that the word is often used to describe all smokeless tobacco products? I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

    Oh hell yeah! That's a badass movie, one of my all time favorites! If you look at my bio on the nationals website, I have it listed as my favorite movie. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

    Can't go wrong with Cool Hand Luke or Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. If you want a smart political satire, go with Dr. Strangelove. Those are the best 60's films I can think of off the top of my head. I know there are others, but I'll leave the others for somebody else to contribute. EDIT: I misread your original question. If you want pre-mid sixties, go with Casablanca. You can't go wrong with Casablanca. If Casablanca isn't your style, you can go with Citizen Kane. You could always do a David Lean film festival; watch Bridge on the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia, and Dr. Zhivago. The last two are from the mid-sixties, but they're great films. Another good film from the mid-sixties that I forgot to mention is The Graduate. This is kind of fun. I think I could go on naming great old movies all day. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree.

    I was the world's worst 100 jump wonder. I don't know why, exactly--maybe because I got through training so fast or because I was at a small DZ without a lot of skygods showing me up all the time. Most likely it was because I was young, dumb, and full of...well, you know the rest. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

    iirc when one lets say has a conceled cary permit and are in a position to legally draw a firarm at someone and shoot them, if they don't kill them they then can be charged with attempted murder eventhoughif they wouldof killed themit would be all legal and fine..... I don't know about "attempted murder," but if you intentionally "wing" somebody (i.e., shoot them in the arm or leg instead of trying to kill them), the prosecutor can argue that because you had time to aim for an extremity you obviously weren't in enough danger to necessitate firing your weapon in the first place.

    Amen to that, sister! I would have to say that the one thing I hate most are friends and family members who make no effort to understand the sport of skydiving or the skydiving lifestyle--those people who immediately dismiss it as crazy or a fad or a waste of time.

    I think you can probably attribute a lot of Brains's actions that night to that bottle of Cabo Wabo. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

    Definitely Russia--It's a country of Anna Kournikovas. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

    Paul Teutul Sr. on a DZ? Hmmm.....Have you met Phil Chappell? I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.
  17. Douva
    I've said for years that a DZ would make a better setting for a reality show than most of the crap out there. I might consider pursuing it, if I didn't hate reality shows so much. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

    I remember the infamous Road Rules accuracy contest. Didn't one of the girls do a low turn and sustain minor injuries? I seem to recall the EMS having her strapped to a backboard at the end of the episode. That episode had a lot of skydivers pissed off. My friend wrote a pretty scathing letter to the DZ for holding an accuracy contest with AFF students. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

    Does anyone remember when (more specific than simply 1991) the Reebok commercial featuring Patrick de Gayardon skysurfing first aired? If anybody has a copy of this commercial, I'd be extremely grateful to get a copy. Thanks for your help! Blue skies, Douva I don't have an M.D. or a law degree.

    Just for the record, our posts both have the same time stamp. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

    I know you have something to say about A&M knocking Texas out of 10th place, so let's hear it. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

    AHHHHHHH! HE'S TRYING TO USE HIS AGGIE MIND TRICKS ON ME! MUST....RESIST..... I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

    Well, somebody's bucking for a skysurfing board upside the back of his big head. You've managed too insult both my home towns in a single sentence. Shall I post a pictuer of my mother so that you can rag on her a little bit? Why do Aggies hate M&Ms? They're too hard to peel. How do you get a Texas A & M graduate off your front porch? You pay for your pizza! How do you sink an Aggie submarine ? Have a frogman knock on the hatch. How many Aggies does it take to eat an armadillo? Three. One to do the eating, and two to watch for cars. How can you tell when an Aggie sends you a fax? It has a stamp on it. Q: Why does the stadium at College Station have Astroturf? A: To keep the cheerleaders from grazing during halftime. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

    My schedule is pretty flexible during the week. I can spend a couple of months stalking the cast of Real World: Austin. I think I'll just hangout outside the window of their loft dressed like this. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

    15-30 I've slept in a T-shirt and shorts since elementary school. If I wake up to a fire, burglar, or nuclear war, I don't want to be anymore vulnerable than I have to be. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.
