    Lurking both places would give you an idea of what their 'essence' is - why then bother running to one to say "what the fuck is wrong with those other people???" If you don't like the other place, then don't go there. Will

    What I was saying was that with a little more time in the sport one might realize that skydiving is NOT one big happy family and not try to paint a pretty prozac picture of parachuting (). On rec. those that give it, generally can take it - they don't appear to be trying to win any popularity contests. I feel exactly the same way I do about people who post on rec. slagging dz.com off - it is childish and cowardly. Both places have their respective merits - if you don't like either then don't frequent it. But running to one group to broadcast that you don't like the other group seems rather lame to me. I prefer dz.com, but this doesn't mean I feel a need to slag off rec. Will

    I suspect most of the people on rec. have been in the sport a little longer than you. If you felt so strongly about it, why didn't you post your little whinge on rec.?
  4. I'm sure Clay will be grateful!!
  5. I've still got carpet-burns from when he tried to rape me...
  6. That is something I really don't understand. Here in the UK petrol is taxed so heavily that the thought of owning a 1.4l diesel is actually quite appealing. Plus the added incentive of paying less road tax (and insurance!). But I don't really see anything changing as long as you have a quasi-Texan who is in the pockets of the oil barons in charge. They have the right to drive SUVs goddammit (and are willing to bomb a whole lot of people to defend that right). Will
  7. Most of them were in Sweden (35 with Adrian Nicholas) and then got some more with Tim Carter in the UK when I got back. Of my last 250 skydives probably about 50 were coach jumps, and the only thing I proved is that I am not a natural. Still, I've got my camera-suit coming and next year I'll be getting my wing-suit, so its not all bad!
  8. I did about 40 something coach jumps in July and August (biggest mistake was doing 14 in one day...), got very disillusioned after that because my head down still sucked. Took a 7 week break from jumping (lack of money, lack of main and partly couldn't give a shit anymore). Went out yesterday, did two solos and somehow it just clicked for me!
  9. Issie my skuld nie, Andre het eerste met die kak begin, belowe!
  10. Sounds like an amputation is in order . Just make sure they get the right leg! (unless it is the left leg!)
  11. En ek wed jou almal op die grond sal die gefluit hoor!!!
  12. Pfffttt... Bloody hell man, take off the panties Shakespeare!!
  13. When you do make your 100th we'll have to change your username to 'blueboobies'!
  14. You did the 200th huh? Was it naked? Congrats!
  15. Have you checked out the classifieds link right here on dz.com?
  16. I know a skydiver with 12 000 jumps who still chooses to jump with one. And he has cutaway both with and without RSL (camera) quite a few times, so he is making an informed decision. Perhaps you know something he doesn't?
  17. The tickets have been issued, I'll be arriving in Cape Town 18 April, leaving 5th May.
  18. Actually I believe he is from Namibia but did study in SA. BTW Citrusdal definitely also gets my vote for most scenic DZ (and damn friendly too). Will
  19. Shuddup grandpa, go polish yer dentures and quit messin' with the young 'uns...
  20. A local dominee's sons were really naughty shits (as all dominees/preachers kids are). Their idea of fun was they'd each climb a tree with their pellet guns and then shoot each other until one fell out. I grew up in Oudtshoorn, forget TV, even our rainbows were black and white! I can remember being bare-foot almost my entire childhood (except sandals for school and shoes for church). I can also remember that we often used to make our own toys (often involving R4 rounds, swimming pool chlorine and other 'stuff' - man we couldda taught Saddam a thing or two about making weapons...) Like someone else said, you can still get this, you just have to leave the city (and not let TV raise your kids) Will
  21. I blame Saddam for this, we should invade immediately!
  22. Cool, does that mean he keep on emailing me pics of you??
