Unfortunately, the idiots that think our roads are a place to have "fun" put other people at risk. Too many people are maimed or killed by drivers who think driving should be "fun" and "fast". The folks who fly the highly loaded eliptical canopies are putting themselves at rick, but rarely are others hurt when the fun disappears and something goes wrong... Here's another reason some fly those tiny canopies... impress others at the dz ! "There's nothing new under the sun"

I saw pictures of a Memorial Skydive yesterday on an NBC news feed... looked like a full otter load ... were any of you on this jump, and which of our fallen brothers was it in honour of ? I had to pause at work (in a tv newsroom) briefly, and pay my own respects as the pictures went by. I also saw pictures from a base jump that resulted in the death of the jumper --- from a transmission tower. Another sad day for those who love parachuting. BSBD, brother.

Great pix, Andyman! The shadows on the ground of the clouds is pretty cool, too! "There's nothing new under the sun"

Clearly, weegegirl, YOU ROCK!!! Dontcha jus' love it?!?!! So when will you be posting some boobie pix for us??? Didn't anyone tell ya? For your first freefall, at the DZ, it's beer... here, it's beer and boobies!!! "There's nothing new under the sun"

EVERY NIGHT??? Can you have a chat with my missus please... "There's nothing new under the sun"

Seems there has been lots of shit happening the past while... I guess partly because the new season is fully underway for many dropzones closed during the winter. At the boogie I was at a week and a half ago, there were 3 reserve rides and a cypres fire in one day. And a gal was hospitalized with back injuries after a reserve ride under a round the day before... But what keeps coming to mind is a video from about 3 weeks ago at my DZ. Tandem jump... camera flyer is out on the strut (c-182), and the tandem master is climbing out with the passenger, when all of a sudden, there's the reserve pilot chute between the tandem and the right side of the door frame, just slightly behind the tadem master's head where he can't see it ... you can see the pilot's mouth frantically screaming as the camera flyer drops off the strut ... fortunately - VERY fortunately, they managed to pull the pilot chute in and get the door closed with out and further problems... but it could have been another black day. It serves as a reminder to everyone to be careful about your movement in the plane, and the value of a gear check before exiting -- obviously there was no one left in the plane to give this tandem master a gear check, but if you have someone there, get them to take a look at yours!!! My thoughts go out to all our brothers and sisters who have been injured or worse these past few weeks. "There's nothing new under the sun"

Chromey, I'm jumping on the bandwagon ... get it check out. A trip to the doctor could be worth a lot of jumps that you might miss otherwise. "There's nothing new under the sun"

First off, I'm sorry to hear about your friend... BSBD... But I'm glad to hear you are back bigtime!!! 23 jumps -- whoohoo!!! You go, girl! "There's nothing new under the sun"

Are you earning royalties now??? "There's nothing new under the sun"

As you are in the UK, check here: http://www.bpa.org.uk/ "There's nothing new under the sun"

I hope I'm not too late to say "Happy Birthday", Bill! Best wishes from Canada!!! "There's nothing new under the sun"

You're scaring me now, Quade... "There's nothing new under the sun"

I shoulda done those helicopter jumps nekkid the other weekend! "There's nothing new under the sun"

Quite frankly, I think you need to upsize for a while. Like some others said, you'll "probably" will be fine, but if you find yourself in trouble one day --- hmmmm. I've got over 150 jumps, and I'm jumping a 210 Silhouette loaded @ 1:1 ... better safe than sorry! "There's nothing new under the sun"

wasn't he the kid on Mayberry RFD??? "There's nothing new under the sun"

"I'm no expert", but I would think that it might have lots to do with the particular people who you run into. Same as anything else. There are people out there in every line of work who are fair and equitable, and there are people who are assholes who like to cause trouble. My friend from Singapore wasn't treated like "the white folks" when he flew into the USA to go to Eloy at Chritstmas... "There's nothing new under the sun"

I managed 14 jumps last weekend, so I'm not freakin' 'bout not jumping this weekend... "There's nothing new under the sun"

I had one on the bumper of the vehicle we traded in last year ... now some whuffo has it! We even saw it one day! "There's nothing new under the sun"

Hey, were you lucky enough to fly to Kamloops in the King Air for the May Meet last weekend? I'm in Victoria... "There's nothing new under the sun"

So what's up with all the kidnapping and attempts to snatch young girls off the streets in the lower mainland??? Even Mission isn't safe anymore... "There's nothing new under the sun"

Skydiving chicks with gear ROCK!!! "There's nothing new under the sun"

Unquestionalby!!! Freaky, and proud of it! The good thing is, I can track like an arrow! "There's nothing new under the sun"

Ok, I'm 6'6" ... where do I fit in??? Some of you Little Ladies would have to stand on my "midpoint" just for a smooch! "There's nothing new under the sun"

I'm just happy to be waking up every morning... although there was that time I woke up in the afternoon not too long ago! "There's nothing new under the sun"
