Stunts; pissing on our sport to make money.
flyhi replied to tdog's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Last month's Parachutist didn't list a name but did say they suspended the USPA membership of an individual for an FAA-unauthorized chuteless jump. I also saw where Plamer competed in Nationals, so does that mean they suspended Travis and not Plamer? Quirky sidenote: The same copy of Parachutist lauded the accomplishments and works of Hybrid XP, one of whose members is Plamer. Those guys at USPA are just wacky scamps. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics. -
Request you define "intermediate". Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Because the perception of what happened was that it was a bad thing, and everyone knows the wellhead from which all evil springs is the swoop community. Look at history. Judas Iscariot, Adolf Hitler, and this guy all reported to be frustrated swoopers. The Unaswooper, Vlad the Inflailer, and Chow 'n Fly, all had no outlet to get their swoop on and had to resort to other pursuits. Just like the housing downturn, the financial crisis, and the movie Gigli, swooping was involved, we just haven't figured out how, yet... Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

PD Factory Team X-Project Update 2

Attached is my application. Nada. I have no idea what their standards were, but it doesn't make any sense to me. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics. -
Nice. Video during AFF is an incredibly valuable teaching tool. You are very lucky to have found a place that offers that. Most students tend to be so overwhelmed during the jump that, even if they remember the large parts, they tend to forget the finer elements. Here you can check everything from, "What was my body doing?" to, "What were my hands doing?". Don't know if this costs extra, but if it did, you made money on it. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Why are there no Antonov AN-2's in the US?
flyhi replied to flyhi's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
This vid was posted here a few years back. (link in DZ.com is now dead.) Did not realize it at the time, but it is out of an AN-2. Looks like Mircan is the only one regularly jumping one now. So, Mircan, do you have a couch and a place for me to buy beer? Either that or bring one to Florida and I'll find a place to jump it. I am the idea guy. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics. -

Actually, under Obama, successful or unsuccessful, isn't their job easier than under an unsuccessful Bush? Don't you think over the past eight years there were some aspects of the Clinton presidency that they missed the hell out of? {Yes, ended it in a preposition. Acknowledged.} Shit happens.

This a great appetizer served at Jameson's by the Sea, a north shore Oahu restaurant. It's a great place to sit, watch the waves, and catch a sunset. Salmon Pate Jameson’s by the Sea Haleiwa, HI 1 15 – ounce can red sockeye salmon ¼ pound cream cheese ½ tablespoon horseradish ½ tablespoon sour cream 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 tablespoons minced onions ½ tablespoon Liquid Smoke ½ teaspoon salt Discard liquid bones, skin and blood lines from salmon and set aside (the salmon, not that other gunk). Combine remaining ingredients, using a mixer, until smooth. Add salmon and combine well. Pate may be placed in a mold and frozen until needed. (Jameson’s uses old 1 quart milk containers (yes, washed!), freezes them and then slices off 1 inch thick portions to serve.) To serve, garnish with chopped onion, sour cream, and capers. Serve with soda or rice crackers. Note: A ½ pound of steamed fresh salmon may be used in place of the canned salmon. Or use ½ pound smoked salmon and omit the liquid smoke. If you and BZ ever want to swoop the pond at Lake Wales, PM me. It would be nice to see you both again. Aloha

Who Is the Worst U.S. President of the Modern Era?

Who Is the Worst U.S. President of the Modern Era?
flyhi replied to flyhi's topic in Speakers Corner
Many won't remember some at the beginning of the list (those of us who do, hate you, by the way), but I put them there just in case. Personally, I think the choice is between just two, but I may be surprised. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics. -
Never heard it called a "position" before. Attached is the only Journey album cover I could find that had discernable people on it. Would that be it, or is there another one floating around out there? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Looks like they need to Discovery a dictionary. When I saw your post, I wondered how they could misspell T.K. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Anything wrong with this exit from the plane?
flyhi replied to npgraphicdesign's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Nothing wrong with that exit. Nice way to practice getting stable after an unstable exit. It definitely shows the exuberance associated with getting signed off for solo. Having said that, what is your goal? Is it to goof around in sky? To throw yourself out of the plane and to just revel in the sensory rush? If so, great. No problem. Totally understand it. If your goal is continuous (or any) improvement, then why waste the video guy? You will not get video on every jump. And you will definitely not get solo dedicated video on every jump. This individual had a perfect opportunity to get video of his best effort at a solo exit and the remainder of that jump's freefall. You can take such a video to one of the (or every)hotshots of your chosen discipline and say, whaddayathink? With very little effort you probably could have gotten incredible insight from several different people on the same jump. I am willing to bet that some of the best skydivers at your dropzone did not jump with you during your AFF. Perfect chance to get their input, now. Such an example would be the group which exited before you, especially the individual with the red rig directly in front of the camera. Although the back is straight, so are the legs. S/he is taking up much more room in the door than is required. For the size of group on that jump, no problem. But with a second or third row of jumpers, that body posture is unacceptable. Again, muscle memory and building habits. What you do in training, you do in competition. What you do with small groups, you will do with large groups. If hurtling myself out the door was my desire on that jump, I would have asked the video guy if he could get my second jump. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics. -

1.) Week 2 confirmed Week 1 was a season ending loss for the St Louis Rams. Tim Tebow to the Rams next year. 2.) Carolina is as good as everyone said Jacksonville was. And Jacksonville isn't. 3.) Jay Cutler is the new Tom Brady. Brandon Marshall is the new Randy Moss. 4.) Jon Kitna looks more and more like Curly on and off the field. 5.) Darren McFadden for ROY. 6.)
