Yeah... heh... when I made my first jump on my own gear, I wanted plenty of time to play, so I told everyone on the plane I was going to do a solo and "pull high". They thought I meant around 5 or 6 grand, so I just got out last and nobody thought anything of it. I wanted a lot of time up there, so I pulled at 10. It was a windy day. I had about 40 jumps. If you do this, don't get out over the top. Go a couple of miles upwind. I held into the wind alllll the way down and landed a bit out. It was fun! Marc

Still stuck in haiku the only thing I can think is "freefall stripper"

On the "to" line, Jess of your boobie e-mail, please add my name, thank you

Glad I did not go if jumping did not happen Did not sleep till 6...

I hate to do this for this thread will go downhill but I can't resist boobies boobies boobs boobies tits boobs jugs knockers breastessessesses.

Just for good measure it may be time to bring in haiku about boobs!

Love of good haiku is uncommon, as we see But it could be worse. A full fourteen line Shakespearean sonnet could be on every post

Nothing like a keg of milk and classical music loud enough to hear out in the hall for a good time on friday night... Marc P.S. I make fun, because I play chess, and listen to classical music, and I like it...

Our Jessica fell far out due to freefall snot? Glad you are okay. I did not skydive the weekend spent on the ground Friggin cold; no cash.

A new skydiver learning to love what we love time to celebrate! Hey, wait a minute does my post look somewhat odd? Shit... stuck in haiku.
-
Yeah, but man, have you ever been to a chess club kegger? Those guys know how to PARTY!
-
You have to awake early enough to skydive Go to bed, Brian!

I never said that I was not nympho, my dear for sex... good as well!

I gladly admit I am a slut to the sky I can't get enough

The door is open we are way the fuck up here might as well get out. Oh, and- Though people assume you add "s" to make plural "haiku" IS plural. Marc Grammar Nazi #1?

So in a high speed swoop, your highest rate of descent will be less than your peak airspeed? Actually, come to think of it, that makes perfect sense for a carving riser turn. I don't have a cypres manual, but for some reason I assumed it was designed to fire if you were *below* 750 feet and descending faster than 78 mph. Is that correct or does it fire *at* 750 feet? Say, someone is on a plane that goes up above 1500, arming the cypres, then something goes wrong and the plane has dropped to 900 feet when he bails out. He should be below 78 mph when he passes through 750 feet, right? Well, maybe not, it's too late and I'm too lazy to actually do the math. But assume he gets out close enough to 750 that he doesn't hit 78 mph until 500 feet. Will the cypres fire at that point? Maybe I should get a manual. Marc

How many more "going on a date with the bottle" jokes will there be? 0-5 6-10 11-15 16-20 more than 20 What? Boobies? I don't care, as long as they share the bottle of Jack with me

Or, we have me... tumbling gracelessly through formations, funneling exits, and freezing my ass off... still having a blast with my friends! I gotta agree with Clay on this one--I'd much rather have my own fun with my friends than watch other people throw balls around, that would quit playing if they stopped getting paid millions of dollars for it...

Question- If you're going over 80 mph on a swoop at the bottom of your arc... then couldn't you theoretically(or maybe you do, I don't know the physics of a swoop very well, I'm still learning to hit a target straight in) have a descent rate of the same speed or more in a high speed diving turn? And doesn't the expert cypres fire at 78 mph? I know a cypres disarms itself under 150 feet, but what if you're playing at those speeds up higher? Or maybe I'm not thinking straight. It's been known to happen. This just struck me as I was reading... Marc

Hey, I was at the DZ today watching the 2001 Pond Swoop Nationals or whatever it was, and saw Chuck Blue say "Go fast, take chances, and don't wear a helmet!" I felt cool because, well, I'm just a cool guy. No, wait, that's not what I meant. You know what I meant. Marc

Why, you're right... I *am* a coward! Hehe...
