How do I retire and still skydive?
ChrisL replied to steve1's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I dont think anyone has yet suggested becoming a hustler in the bus station mens room. Thats always an option -
What's the worst that could happen?
ChrisL replied to davelepka's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Honestly? I don't think a 12 year old anyone should make a skydive. They don't have the maturity or wisdom to make an informed decision regarding risk/reward. The person could die. Tandems have gone in before and will do so again. Nobody should be putting their life on the line until they are old enough to really understand that they could die. __ My mighty steed -
Looking to sell rig. Getting dusty and can't have that. Advice please
ChrisL replied to Scoop's topic in Gear and Rigging
From personal experience, I think you should stop imagining what you can get with the money, and just hang on to the rig. Sell it and someday you will regret it and wind up buying ANOTHER rig. If you are not in dire financial straits that require you liquidate any assets, and you have no plans to quit skydiving forever, just hang on to it. You will kick yoursel when the money you get from the sale is gone and you have nothing to show for it, and have to rent someone elses gear when you want to jump. I did that. Ended up buying another rig 8 months later. You dont know where that rental gear has been __ My mighty steed -

for me, my heart beats hard and fast, feelings of anxiety, restlesness, nausea, slight dizziness. Maybe not that way for everyone, but thats how it affects me. __ My mighty steed -

ChrisL replied to hackish's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Speaking of buzz words or phrases, I'd say the whole "adrenaline rush" thing is overblown. Adrenaline makes me feel like shit. If jumping still gave me a noticeable surge of adrenaline, I wouldn't be doing it any more because its a shitty feeling, not a good one. __ My mighty steed -

Never saw one before, but from the pics I found it looks like a good sized door. shouldn't be all that different from an Otter... Just a guess based only on looing at a few pics though __ My mighty steed -

Question for mechanic types - aftermarket cruise control
ChrisL replied to Katzeye's topic in The Bonfire
So you are saying that I was on the right jerky track until I ruined everything by claiming that I wasn't trying to be jerky? If so I should point out that if I came across as jerky while making a deliberate effort to NOT sound jerky, then my jerkiness is genuine and should still earn me full value. __ My mighty steed -

You just abrogated all responsibility for controlling the speed of your car -

ChrisL replied to Katzeye's topic in The Bonfire
Not intending to sound jerky, but if you are saying that you do not have the ability to slow down or monitor your own speed, and you want a computer chip to take over that rather important responsibility for you, perhaps you shouldn't be driving at all. Just a little food for thought. __ My mighty steed -
I had a dream that I watched someone bounce right in front of me. It was pretty realistic and left me feeling horrified. This was a couple years ago and I can still picture it. It was a creepy dream. __ My mighty steed

The veracity of your statement is highly suspect given your proximity to 500

I could swear every 100th jump is a pie able offense. Now it's all blah blah no it's not and this and that. You are absolutely a target to be pied at every hundreth jump. 5 pies coming for you Andrea!!!! I was always told 100, 500, 1000, and every thousand after that __ My mighty steed

...because she is clearly trying to avoid it
