Sebazz, I know you can do it. If you can do it I can do it. I have been wanting to quit. Although you have 3 days ahead of me. You could be a inspiration to me. If you smoke just one more you will not be able to stop. It will get worse before it gets better. But the end result will save you money and your health.

Don't be a Rhino be a Hippo! I don't want a Rhinocaures I want a Hippopatamus!

I know, I know, I know , I know! I can keep a secret though!

I can't believe Rhino and Lisa are good friends now! This is too weird. Oh well, I guess I will have to wait until next year to see if he really is cool. However, I heard a little story about him sticking up for women and I admire that.

Good to hear it! I went there one time mid last year and I was still pretty new and quiet so that is probably what did it. I guess Scotti and Tami spread their love around! Oh and Omar, I have met you. It was at the Naples Boogie when they had that Westwind there that needed refuel after every load. I remember you!
-
No. I am not old enough for you and Carrie is already taken!

Here is the thread. Was the person Roy Torgierson? He is an awesome person and he taught me how to belly fly, got me my gear, etc.

Just because you live in a trailer doesn't mean your like people on the Jerry Springer Show! If I had a choice I would want to live in a RV so I could work out of there and travel from DZ to DZ!

It depends on what you are looking for. If you want a people friendly good atmosphere dropzone Skydive Miami is great. It is a smaller dropzone but, uh, size doesn't doesn't always matter, right ladies? Skydive America is a bigger dropzone but there is a few skygod tendencies there. I have not been there since Scotty and Tammi and Omri has been there maybe it has changed. Just depends on the flavor you prefer. If you want other opinions PM me. As a good friend of mine said, "That is why there is chocalate AND vanilla ice cream!"

I am a skydiver and I have a good well paying job. I work Monday through Friday and jump on weekends. Sometimes I take afternoons off and jump then too. I pay my bills on time and I have a car that isn't about to break down. Although seven months ago I lost my job in Florida because I was always at the dropzone. I am on the rebound now but sooner or later I will probably lose my job again.

That is freakin hilarious! I hear the livestock was very happy in Illinois last week!

I went to jump at Skydive Atlanta and I was inside talking to Clay in between jumps. Somebody comes inside and says, "All the jumpers got out WAY to early and they are not gonna make it back!" The plane landed and the pilot said he accidentaly hit the green button a few miles out. When he noticed it was on he turned it off and turned around and everybody had already gotten out. He was a good two miles away from the DZ when he noticed it. 5 miles when he hit it. They were all freefliers too. Nobody even thought about spotting!

He hasn't made it through a reserve cycle without having a malfunction, Teb. 82 days and he makes it.

yeah, so, like when does this whole thing become affordable again?

He is even sending people my way Lummy! A few of us were getting ready to board late two Saturdays ago and I see two guys dirt diving a two way RW. They come over and stand by me. I asked them where they are from and they say California. I asked what dropzone and they said Hollister. I said "Do you know Sebastian?" They did a double take and said "you know Sebastian?" One guy said "he sold me this jumpsuit two weeks ago." Back at manifest we had a couple laughs at his expense. Then the rigger and tandem instructor at our dropzone walked up and they told him, "Hey, Nathan knows Seb!" He said, "You have been jumping here for awhile and I never knew you know Seb?" I had to explain that although I have never met him yet I will sometime but we mess around and make each other laugh during the workday through messages. They laughed and told me a few funny stories they have shared. This DZ.com just makes the world a little smaller! Thanks, HH! -
I would not pay $75 dollars for it. $20.00 for the jump $5.00 for the pack job Someone will open the airplane door for free. Someone will eventually pick you up when you land out. Get a girlfriend and she will usually have a cold drink for you. I just started packing again. I was pretty lazy for awhile and missed out on a few loads because the packers were behind and my rig was not always ready. Packing is a pain in the backside but now I am more confident in my jumping sense I had a couple of malfunctions using packers. I know exactly how it was packed and know it was not rushed. Although sh?t will always happen and probably will again sometime in the near future it is nice to be more proactive and pack for yourself.

That is VERY cool of them. I had someone call the DZ and buy me a couple jump tickets once. Just last week! Thanks again Skymama!

I am not the only one with multiple personalities in here!

I am just getting out of the debt skydiving has brought on in my life. When Pete (Spy38W) began jumping I told him that he would eventually lose his job, max out his credit cards and he will not really want to work again after he gets it in his blood. Guess what? Not two months later it all happened to him just like it did to me. I eventually had to get responsible again and get another job. This thread reminds me of a story that occured over the weekend. This guy who jumps every once in awhile decided that he was now going to be a skydiver. He ordered all new gear, Javelin Odyssey, Sabre 2, PD Reserve, Cypres, New RW suit, helmet, audible, all in matching colors at once. His gear just came in and he waited until everything was packed this weekend. He went out and jumped. I landed and looked up and he was above me. He was too high and was heading straight for the tandem students. Last minute he made a low turn to avoid the golf cart and his canopy landed into a tree and he slammed to the ground. he blamed it on the fact that his canopy "wasn't flying right" and his new jumpsuit didn't fit right. To look cool he gave the new jumpsuit (jumped once) to another skydiver and he is selling his new main and said that he thinks Icarus Canopies fly better. My point is that before you buy all new equipment and gear and spend all that money take some time to get proficient and make sure this is the sport you want to do. I have a feeling this guy spent all this money only to "look cool" and not jump as often as needed. As Sebazz says, "It is not how you fly it is how good you look doing it that matters!" -
I was thinking Total Boobie Display! Remember that males think about sex every five seconds. It took me more than five seconds to think of something and then my mind went back to sex.

If you would post the website on here it would save you time because you will not have to answer a lot of pm's! What's the website? And don't be funny and pm it to me!

I have had two intentional cutaways!
-
Congrats! That is really, really cool of him.
-
Pete, you scared me there. I started packing again and I was a little nervous jumping this weekend. I thought about you though and figured one more and we would be tied. Now that I am packing hopefully I don't have anymore.

So glad we're moving! (i.e. lookout for that boulder)
