I'll watch __ My mighty steed

Its not about the cost. Its about the ride. I also have a Kawasaki ZX-6R 600 Ninja. Its way fun and cost about 20% of what the Harley cost me. I like my Harley better. __ My mighty steed

I have yet to see any real confirmation that the jet will fly jumpers. Unless you know something I dont... __ My mighty steed

What year is that? Mid 80's softtail? Sweet. As you can see I'm kinda partial to softtails myself

You wouldnt want to do it that way. Your friend the pilot could conceivably get into a lot of trouble. You also wouldnt be insured and I'd question the competance of any instructor that would be willing to do a tandem that way. Go to a USPA member dropzone and have fun __ My mighty steed

So???? Its Thursday. __ My mighty steed

Delholio??! How could you ever have a warm, fuzzy feeling for a cat named Delholio? __ My mighty steed

Hello from Portugal! I need advice, please

I am Irish and Portuguese. Thats why I am so much fun to be around __ My mighty steed -
My not-very-experienced opinion is that your legs need to be much straighter and toes pointed to get good forward movement. Were those some kinda front or backloops you were attempting? Its hard to tell because the video is so jumpy. __ My mighty steed

Wow! Not only was that condescending, it was downright insulting

From which part of Portugal? Faial, Azores. My grandfathers name was Alberto Vieira. My name is Leahy. My mom married an Irishman __ My mighty steed -
Thats just in one thread on dropzone.com. I'm going and I think its going to be a blast

Hey, dont confuse acceptance with happiness :-) If the price goes up I'll be bummed because that means less jumps I'll be able to make. I'm just saying that it wouldnt suprise me. __ My mighty steed

Is there an english version of the site? I am of Portuguese descent, but unfortunately I dont speak the language. My grandparents did, and my mother too, but myself not at all :-) __ My mighty steed -
In this case, do they really need to? We are all skydivers. Presumably we have all experienced increases in price when fuel costs go up. Its a reasonable expectation that the cost per jump might change just as they do at your home dz. Cost of fuel goes up, so does the price per jump. To think they can (or should) lock in a price months in advance and stick to it no matter what they have to pay for fuel is not reasonable at all. __ My mighty steed

The prize, silly. Caint you read??!? You must be one o them there dumbass skydivers, aintcha? Skydivers is all dumber 'n a bag a hammers! __ My mighty steed

Ding ding! NWFlyer wins the prize. Thats exactly my meaning. I've seen lots of posts here (and on other kinds of forums) where people say things like "Skydivers are hornier than other people" What??!? Thats completely absurd. As it is completely absurd to claim that skydivers as a whole are any specifc thing other than skydivers. They/we ALWAYS act as if they are somehow better than "normal" people. We are skydivers, everyone else is a WUFFO, and somehow dumber, lamer, and beneath us. Break it down evern farther and you have subsets within the groups. Freeflyers are cooler than belly fliers. Guys that ride harleys are cooler than guys that ride crotch rockets. Its all dumb. Skydivers arent more anything than anyone else. We are just potential Soylent Green like everyone else

Ayep. As long as it didnt bother you that I was drinkin kool-aid instead of beer __ My mighty steed
