I'm with GeekStreak - blow up the clowns who blast that rap shit outta their transports. Personally, I can't stand techno/rap/hip hop... When my 6 year old daughter starts humming/singing, it's often Beatles songs. Now THAT'S good taste!

Hey, Pammi, that ROCKS!!! I'm real happy for ya! Now when do ya start working on that B? Frank

Hi Kev... other websites? Nah, this is the best for skydivers!

Who really cares about sexual orientation...??? It has no impact on skydiving, or anything else for that matter... to each his/her own.

I think the nudie pix of the boys are burried somewhere back in the archives (thank goodness)... there weren't many! And I seem to remember it was cold that day... but the boys won that round!

That what dry suits are for!

waazzz was a bit of a prick! It wasn't until the Bossman posted the various phone numbers he was dialing in from that he either split, or matured! But after the way he addressed Freaksis, he didn't deserve the privilage it is to be seen and heard on this website.

Let's all meet up at 14,000 and just flip out!

Remember, I've still got dibs on the video!!!

Don't tease us, Stacy... if you're gonna dish, then dish!

You are clearly smart enough to wear a helmet and/or seatbelt at the appropriate times. These laws are for the protection of those - and the people who love them - who aren't smart enough to protect themselves. Like the 15 year old girl who died here a few years back when she simply tipped over on her bike - whe was barely even moving - and hit her unprotected head on a curb... and died. If our helmet law had been in place back then, perhaps she would be alive today. If ONE death is prevented at the expense of the rest of us having to wear a helmet/seatbelt, then the law is worthy. IMHO, Frank

There's no such thing!!!

Ya know something's wrong when -- the pilot is the first one out of the plane. (for Grogs) ... the person next to you on the plane is wearing your rig.

I am a licenced SCUBA diver, although I haven't done any diving for a few years now... The diving on the West Coast of Canada is considered some of the best in the world - particularly at "Race Rocks" http://www.racerocks.com/-- the diversity of life here is unparalelled any where else on the planet. I've shot underwater video of sea lions frolicking just a couple of metres from my face, visited with various octopus in and out of their den (they may be a smart as your pet dog), and collected swimming and rock scallops and ablone for dinner. I've also been on a dive with special forces divers from the USA, Britian and Canada during a military exercise as they set Banglor Torpedos (I *think* that's what they were called if my memory serves me). I think that the fatality rate is higher for scuba divers because we skydivers are much more safety oriented. I don't scuba dive anymore because I can't afford two expensive sports - but I still like to put on the wet suit and weights and do some snorkeling, finding all sorts of interesting critters to show my kids.

Skycam3 - although I don't know you, you have earned my respect... thank you for trying to help Michele. Knowing that my skydiving brothers and sisters will literaly go to the ends of the earth to help each other makes me feel ... (hard to find the right words here) ... better, somehow. Frank

Ahhhh, the good old days, when men were men, and women were satisfied... Lotsa great pix there -- even if almost everyone was clad!

Ya - what an ass... ALWAYS ASK BEFORE MOVING SOMEONE ELSE'S GEAR, FOR SURE! ugh - caps lock! Drat...

What about "canopyitis", or "riser-burn", or maybe even "low altitude sickness". You could just say you've had a malfunction...

I've heard second hand that there has been some gun fire at Kaposwin (near Seattle) in a dispute with neighbours... don't know the particulars, though.

Go fly a kite - I mean parachute

"...because I spent the weekend doing stuff with my kids!" My 8 year old daughter pitched for the first time this season in her ball game, and struck out 5 batters over 2 innings!!!

Well a first-timer buys the beer because the rest of bought it when we were first-timers!

Ya, 'Sis, time to hit the shower!

Communicating with like-minded beings is definitely NOT a waste of time!

Check the "Packing Faster" thread in the Safety and Training forum... there are some excellent suggestions there...
