  10. Bleh- I posted the video after coming across the link during a surfing episode gone wrong looking at packing tips. I thought the video was pretty damn funny 'cuz thats something that my friends and I would do at our DZ. I didn't mean to get so many angry fingers shaking. Skydiving is FUN! If every jump went by way of formal paperwork request and committee evaluation im sure we'd all get bored. One time I was on the step - a friend was in the door and another in the V and a fourth hanging from the strut (182) I nodded at the jumper in the door and on 'Ready' my friend in the V just tackled me and we all just fell away end over end! It killed the 1st point but it was damn funny! Thats the kind of stuff I'm talking about! I need to get back in the air - its snowing right now --- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training
  11. Are you kidding? I could get Mr. Belding to call my friends? That can't be real?! --- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training
  12. Thank you altichick! Thats what I ment when I posted the video. That is exactly why and when this video is funny! You ROCK --- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training
  13. WoW For a non-troll this post has gone CrAzY Listen - you're comfortable with it or your not. This is not a nationwide fad of throwing people out of airplanes against their will. Calm down w/ judging people on this or questioning their personal eithics - especially when the subject of your critique is not a person known to you. --- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training
  14. I'm gonna have to apologise here for my post. I jump at a very small drop zone where everyone knows eachother very well. We spot manually and we have an incredible amount of outs (indiana). I presumed that the video was at a DZ similar to mine where everyone is active in spotting the plane/ knowing eachother/ knowing eachother's dive plan. I agree that in a situation where the flat flyers are unprepared this could have been an incident. My bad on the joke - I'm just weather grounded and extremely easily entertained --- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training

  16. Thanks to the dudes wondering how to stick new canopys in equally new containers I came across this gem: http://www.sidsrigging.com/galleries/galleries_index.htm Click the Cowden movie and you won't be dissappointed!! Granted - I probably wouldn't think it was that funny if I was wearing the green racer --- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training
  17. Reserve risers are a part of the container- Main risers usually go with the container, but it depends on who's selling the canopy. Either way- get it all inspected! --- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training

  19. Interviewing is kinda like skydiving, Be calm, focused, and relaxed and you'll do fine. Confidence compounds with how relaxed you are, and vice versa. If you go in thinking you own the place and your interviewer is your best friend, you'll be ready to fly --- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training
  20. This guy is really making a name for himself --- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training
  21. I don't think anyone is responding to your posts as a personal attack to you, but if you read the '10x markup' post critically you could probably understand why it is abrasive to the other posters on this site. I really don't think that PD can make a SabreII for less than $160. I recently bought a container, and I've really come to appreciate where the cost comes from. Development, testing, HAND MADE craftsmanship - all right here in the USA. You can't beat that kind of piece of mind. Call or email Bill Booth at RWS and he will probably be glad to explain to you how a 10x markup is not possible. As for saying that 'Skydivers have more money than brains,' for me its not about finding the best deal. Hell, if I was a thrifty person when it came to skydiving there's no way in hell that I'd still be in it! I jump because I love the flying and the people... I won't drive 8 hours for a 4 dollar cheaper jump ticket but I'll drive it for a sunset dive w/ my friends. Just some food for thought. --- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training
  22. I also want a parachute with solid gold toggles, every piece of hardware made of titanium, and a special reserve deployment system that uses medical grade xenon gas to launch the pilot chute, which shall be made mostly of cashmere. The back pad will be made from a spaced age gel that hasn't been invented yet, but it knows my name and greets me when I put it on. --- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training
  23. Shameless advertising, Dave Absolutely shameless --- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training

  25. Unfreakingbelievable... I really wonder how she is planning on making friends in the skydiving community. We all know who she is and what she's done. As far as I'm concerned, she is not a skydiver. --- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training
