at sdc it wasn't so much a tip- but there it was said that if you didn't buy the instructors a bottle of don juan, then you didn't get your A licence... who am i to argue? -Seth :)

SWEET! -Seth :)

What?! Is my underarm deodorant not working? - you could just SAY so! -Seth :)

yeah, i got that in an email yesterday.. check out some of the other stuff on that site, (ircuser) its pretty funny stuff... they have the second ibc commercial too which is real funny... and there is a vid on there of a guy flying a RC helicopter that is just ABSOLUTELY amazing what he is able to fly it. -Seth :)

OMG!!! that is so f*&*#ing funny!!!! and so true!! -Seth :)

definately! trance/techno seem to go really well with skydiving in general, but espesially with freeflying. rook nelsons 21st bday vid showed him doing freefly stuff to darudes sandstorm and some other nice tracks- it was very very cool. -Seth :)

I'm wondering this too.. and what is it about the chest strap? is it b/c you undo it each jump, and you dont with the legs? -Seth :)

probably literally. I've always had to be suspicious of rigs on ebay.. seems that thats the place to sell stolen rigs. kinda like this post in bonfire: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1095448#1095448 -Seth :)

I think thats a good idea, but i also think that something like that should be moderated well- meaning that irrelevant/repeating info posts be deleted/edited, and just leave the posts that have good info. or, maybe what i am saying is that instead of having something like a "forum" with a ton of posts to wade through, something more like a single "guide" that people contribute to, but is something that is revised and edited. The "Newbies gear buying guide" -Seth :)

uh, i'll take the cypres. -Seth :)

hahahaahahh... funny!! i think i might have heard that b4, but it been a long time... :) -Seth :)

That is really funny!.... and also really really strange! -Seth :)

BWAHAHAHAAHAA! YES, so have AL GORE, JOHN KERRY, BILL CLINTON, FRANK LAUTENBERG, and a host of other politicians, journalists, and celebrities -- none of whom have the balls to actually come out and state their true intentions with regard to guns, gun rights, gun ownership, and gun control. They're dumb: they're just not dumb enough to come right out and say, "I want to take away the right to keep and bear arms." That would galvanize their opposition in a way that hedging their language, and going on the occasional photo-op "duck hunt" avoids them doing. Dude- WTF?!?!?!?! So what, are you saying that i'm not what i say I am?? Now you're comparing me with Gore, clinton and kerry, and when you don't even know where I stand on the subject?? what gives?? Do you purposefully try to piss people off??? Do you think that just b/c I enjoyed the movie it means I can't be pro-gun! And no, I'm not a democrat. (i'm not a republican either- i happen to like the libertarians.) I think everyone should be free to own as many as they want - but i think ppl should be responsible with them, and i think that was one of the things BFC was pointing out.... but i guess you wouldnt know that b/c it sounds like you haven't even seen the movie... -Seth :)

that is so true.. Don't forget what it's all about!! -Seth :)

What? i thought that was real funny! tee hehe -Seth :)

Ok, and back to your original topic. um, you are reading the posts right?? I think livendive said it well- I thought we were just getting an interesting discussion going on the USPA's role and/or safety overall when you posted the stuff about paying for coach jumps. Phreezone and Mustard: nice posts- I think it would be nice to see more info like that for the ppl who are running for the BoD, and to get more people involved in deciding who gets voted in! -Seth :)

Wow peckerhead, three posts in a row. how bout using the "edit" button And what gives anyway? you just started talking about something totally different than what we were talking about, and in your own thread! and then, when someone makes a good argument you just keep saying 'you have proven my point'... no he hasn't!! how are you getting that?? Tlegs: I think your last post just about sums it up, i think that is exactly right. -Seth :)

BS!!!!!!! I TOTALLY agree. and, if you love the sport of skydiving, why not pay attention to the "politics" of it?? -Seth :)

Well, it's nice that the newspapers are giving sdc a bit of free advertising instead of the usual smear campaign. -Seth :)

Haha.. So, what happens when you hear the RIGHT lyrics and you do a double take?? In Jethro Tulls song aqualung he says "As I bend to pick a Dog-end" ---- Um, hasn't anybody ever wondered about that one?!?!? for those that don't know, In britian a dogend is slang for a cigarette butt. -Seth :)

incredible. sad and funny at the same time. -Seth :)

[reply I think it's total BS that he's on the BoD -- period. He wants the benefits but isn't willing to pony up the money. I dont think it makes much sense either, and thats why i was asking.. I think it has more to do with some things on his dz not exactly following in line with uspa guidlines.... -Seth :)

THANK YOU!!! I'm glad that i wasn't the only person thinking this!!!! except that it is NOT "had".. He *IS* on the executive BoD, plus, hes a National Director- and his drop zone is not a member dropzone... So, for you guys saying the USPA should basically have nothing to do with non member dz's, what is your response to that?? Seriously!! -Seth :)

thats exactly why i would never buy a rig off of ebay!! -Seth :)

how about skydiving stuff names?? ripcord hacky rings cypres spotter -Seth :)
