    Sick, dammit. I guess that's what I get for drinking until 4 am... Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. --Douglas Adams

    This is a parachute, it deserves to be thrown out of an airplane... aim for the bonfire, see if you get close!

    Easier and quicker to find the damn stairs. A canopy won't do you a bit of good if you're burnt to a crisp. Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. --Douglas Adams

    I want to make love in Fucking. Or is that repetitive? Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. --Douglas Adams

    My little brother won't even watch my vids. He's convinced he's gonna see me die, even tho I'm standing right in front of him. Poor bastard, can't even acknowlege (sp?) his fears, much less face them. The rest are happy I'm happy, but say I'm crazy. Yet they'll pass big rigs on a 2 lane highway with traffic coming fast.

    American media sux dung. Can you say, "Aimed at dumb white person"? BBC, baby, at least they recognize that Africa exists. Otherwise I'll go with the Onion, at least it's smart. Plus it's originally from my hometown...

    Just tell me the name of the bar, I'll drink with you. Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. --Douglas Adams

    All of them die, the question here is how and when. 27% of attempts die during the climb. 11% die after reaching the peak. Of course, these #s aren't representative of mountian climbing in general. It's like taking the number of people who die on one stretch of highway to represent all people who drive. The point remains, climbing everest or K1 or Denali takes some cojones and a shitton of skill. I still think BASE jumpers are nuts tho.

    At least what might happen to your canopy, in terms of identifing a ball of shit vs snivel vs streamer. I agree that showing students pics of bounced jumpers is not productive and inappropriate.

    He certainly will fit in well with the skydiving crowd. I think he should buy the beer. It is a WR, after all. Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. --Douglas Adams

    I found a great way around the broken fork thing. I brought a metal fork from home and wash it after I eat. Takes 2 seconds and no plastic in your stomach. That really sucks when you don't notice it's broken and then bite down on crunchy polymer.

    I'm no expert, but based on what you said it sounds like you're experiencing sensory overload. Perfectly normal, and it'll get better every time you jump. That said though, position DEFINITELY affects how you experience free fall. Being relaxed will help your position, certainly. Keep at it, it'll feel "right" before long.

    Well if it was just the main, maybe it was just a lost cutaway. If it was the whole rig it's something to be worried about.

    Props to Donovan Bartlett at SDC... introduced me to the sport and all the skygods I have had the privilege and joy to jump with since.

    You just ain't met the kind of guy that you are attracted to. Or at least the kind of guy you thought you were attracted to turned out to be unworthy of skydiving... Spend some time at the DZ, he'll show up. Hell, it might be me! Hopefully, anyway.

    WTF is wrong with you? Why are you not planning the move to southern Cali? I think your focus is wrong. It's not Cali you want, it's skydivers you want. Find a big (local) DZ, and go nuts. [edit] All skydivers are hot. I've said it before and I'll say it again. All skydivers are hot. It's not a physical thing, it's a mental thing. An attitude. If you want plastic tits, have fun in LA. If you want to have fun with a beautiful woman, visit your local DZ.

    And the instructors are unparalleled. Really great people who know their stuff backwards and forwards and upside down and inside out. Yes you will. It's required. I'd like to see the look on your instructor's face if you walked out to the loading area without one.

    Well, you're certainly looking in the right place (DZ.com) for dynamic young people. Or at least young-at-heart. Go to boogies, make skydiving friends, meet their friends. Bingo, instant romance. Or at least some good makeout sessions. Patience, my dear. Just as it takes time to get 1000 jumps, it takes time to get the perfect SO.

    Wait a minute, it fell 14k and isn't damaged? Bull, you just can't SEE the damage. I wouldn't wear it again... Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. --Douglas Adams
