cool man! I do some freestyle myself (see avatar), so you two should definitely plan on coming down to Skydive Atlanta sometime very soon so I can kidnap your girl! Like the Halloween Boogie, for example. I know ccowden will be there too.

I already posted one in the Kissable thread. But here it is again, just cause I love it so much. It's Travis and I, Jeff took it for us on our anniversary.

Because everyone is posting pictures! I don't know about you guys, but I'll always click on the picture threads first. And today it's even better because there are gorgeous pics of ladyskydiver and fireflytx (on the pole! holy shit, girly, you are sexy)! Now everyone stop posting cool picture threads so I can study!

I'd have to say...a nice, stable sit-fly makes someone VERY kissable. Believe me, I know from experience! "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie

I'll add to this thread, althought I haven't had a cutaway on a Katana. I have also jumped Katie's Katana, and because of some instability on opening (a slight turn after deployment), the canopy went into a diving turn. I was able to kick out of it, but just barely. My teammate Brandy was near enough to the opening to get it on video, and having seen it I would say that I probably should have cut away. I was above my decision altitude when I started to kick out of the line twists, but I was definitely below my decision altitude when I finally got the canopy into full flight. My decision altitude is 1700. They definitely are finicky canopies. They have amazing high-performance characteristics (Katie is swooping her Katana farther doing a 90 than I am my Stilletto doing a 180), but with these capabilities comes the added factor of squirrelly openings. If you're flying one or thinking of getting one, getting into the habit of concentrating on flying your openings will only help you. Just my two cents.

You forgot to tell them about your new nickname!! Ladies and Gentlemen, meet "River Card Gerrard" "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie

okay, then I'll respond, because I have little boobies. Actually, the past response I got when walking around with no bra and headlights on was "fucking hippie." Thanks, Ian.

hey, Nutella is much cheaper in Europe mmmmmmm.......Nutella....... "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie

Pinky: so what are we going to do tonight, Brain? Brain: same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world!!!!

I LOVE that video!!! They are so graceful, they move through the air like they're floating instead of streaking toward the earth at ungodly speeds. I think it's what Travis and I are going to do on our wedding jump...

I do this too! It's usually some extra ones in my jumpsuit pocket, so when I go in there to get my pull-up cord....TA DA! Money for Red Bull! It's awesome! "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie

I hate to bust all the drooling boys' bubbles here, but wearing not a lot to pack your canopy, especially when you're sweaty, is not a good idea. Salt and body oils and ZP don't mix very well. But feel free to run around with no shirt on AFTER you've lain all over it and squeezed all the air out. Or better yet, some to skydive atlanta and let all of us chickies mollest you!

I haven't replied to one of these threads because I'm definitely one of the ones who have benefited from this particular kind of gender bias. I've had a lot of free coaching from some very skilled fliers, and I'm a small young girl. However, I'm wondering about getting on dives that I shouldn't have been invited on. I'm wondering if this is more prevalent with belly fliers than free fliers, or if it's just a product of "growing up" at a small DZ, but I haven't been on too many dives that I truly wasn't ready for. If I do end up on a particularly big freefly dive (more than an 8-way or so), I'll usually volunteer to fly camera or bump myself off. I think any bias that has occurred in my situation has definitely been more focused on getting free coaching and extra attention when it comes to debriefing early swoop attempts than it was in getting in on bigger freefly dives that I just wasn't ready for. Is getting on dives beyond one's skill level more of a belly flying thing? "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs.

It IS Dee! Wow, that's a great expression, girl. If only she would look at ME like that when I squeeze her boobs and spank her ass "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie

/14/ Despite weather until midday both days, Fourteen jumps out of our lovely Kingair at the Skydive Atlanta Anniversary Festival (we missed you this time around weege!). It was actually Travis' and my anniversary too! It was such a fun weekend! Thanks for all the jumps everyone! "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs.

I'm 5'2" and he's 6'4." It's not a problem, though. We're getting married next May (at Skydive Atlanta, all of you are invited!)

OMG ccowden posted in my thread! this is officially a cool thread now...

I'm definitely eating more times a day, and more volume. It would be pretty hard for me to eat less than I was when I was drinking a lot of coke...I usually had a bagel during the day and then an early dinner. Now I'm eating something small for breakfast and lunch and larger portions at dinner. I'm just wondering if the increase in appetite is because of the sugar in cokes now... "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie

Hmmmm....not sleepy, but definitely calmer. I'm thinking it's because I'm not on a constant caffeine up or down. It may be the sugar as well, cokes have plenty of that. I've been noticing that even though I'm eating like twice as much, I've lost a little weight. I didn't know caffeine was a dieuretic (sp?). I thought those just dehydrated you, not supressed your appetite. thanks for the responses! "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie

So I gave up caffiene a week ago after 15+ years of drinking 3 cokes (or more) a day. I'm past the headaches and crankiness, and I'm not really craving it much anymore. However, I've noticed a SERIOUS increase in my appetite. Any of you health gurus out there know why this is so? I was thinking it was because a can of coke has like 30 grams of carbs in it, and I'm just craving the carbs now, but that's just a theory... Any ideas? "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie

hey Kelly, I know exactly what you're talking about, I seem to have had a few days like that lately... Maybe it's the nasty weather...grey skies for days on end always make me blue. Will we see you this weekend? "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie

INSTANT CURE FOR DINGLEBERRIES!!!! I just wanted to type the word dingleberry. "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie

okay, I'm hijacking this thread. I've been at work all day and I can't get myself to be productive at all....so I think I'm going to go buy a toothbrush for my butt. What do you guy think? I think it would definitely feel good. "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie

hehe, I'm Brandy and Katie's teammate, so yes I'll be there.

no, we're going to be very very mean! Linny, you have been a bad bad girl and you deserve a spanking! ooh, did I just go too far? "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie
