Stories like yours really irritate me, i feel so bad for you. Its not a point of needing the money, its the point that and agreement has been broken. I am the type that will give my last quarter to someone who needs it, and I only hope that if I am down on my luck I will run into someone the same way. If I were you I would do whatever it took to get your money or at least some of it and then get rid of the "friend"...

Ditto...I hope to meet you one day, Sangiro. Your a very wise man!

You think so? Tell that to Ron Passmore or Bruce. Sorry. You are quite wrong. Two graves at your dz prove that right there. Yeah hey guess what, read it again, I was talking about being messed up while jumping. If you are going to jump when your fucked up then you deserve to die. What I was saying is that if you get enough sleep, chances are you are good to go in the morning and people that use drugs regular know when they are ok to resume with their day. Two graves doesn't prove shit, how many times has anyone jumped to get over a hang-over? It's the same dam thing weather it is drugs or alcohol. Ok that's it.. all dz should be "dry" of everything. Oh. wait wake up we don't live in a perfect world. Besides, the cops wouldn't come around if people didn't post shit on the internet for people to read! May as well just get the damn place closed down if it pisses you off that much, and all the rest of the dz too.

Scott Lutz.... I know I know where have I been....That has got to be the stupidest dumbest thing I have ever seen!...OMG! People like him give our lifestyle a bad name, and as the ignorant narrator said,"there was only a thousand feet between him and death" Please, that view where that was said was at least 4000 feet, and being an AFF student his student cypres would have fired a long time before 1000'...okay I'm done ranting, I know this has been said over & over but damn this guy is a real moron...

Z-Hills is my home DZ, definitly not my first, but I have felt welcomed from the first time I went there. Everyone is great, regardless of their sky skills...just a great place to jump!

That has got to be one of the most lame, retarted, ignorant statements that I have ever read. Its Individuals that think like this that are at the root of the problem. Somehow your twisted opinion of what is right and wrong, no matter what the societal and legal census, becomes self rationalizing. No matter the drug, legal or not......... The rationalization may be lame, but the sentiment regarding pot is pretty defendable so long as nicotine and alcohol are legal (and subsidized). But most long existing drugs are plant based - pot, heroin/opium, wine, coffee, cocaine, does kava count? Given that the DEA Zero Intelligence policies can put a property owner at great risk, it's unkind of jumpers to partake at the DZ. But then what they do at night on their own is their own private life. They do have the same responsibility as everyone else getting on a load - shouldn't be so hung over, drugged out, sleepless, whatever that they put the rest at risk. Thanks man, I felt like I was getting flamed over an open fire. I would never in a million years get on a load, high, drunk, hungover, or without a good nights rest. Everything I do, which consists of parrot bay, cape cods, mich uiltra & pot are always late at night, at home, or around the bombfire. If I do partake with the intentions of getting fubared, I will by no means be in a rush to get up, I will sleep it off, wake up at my own pace and then if I feel good, will jump the next day. I have too much in life to loose, (my kids mainly), to be putting myself in danger, as well as my fellow skydivers. I just think that if alchoal & nicoteen are legal (which as all should agree are very adicting and mood altering) then pot should be too, and it should be controlled they way alcohal & cigs are controlled. But illegal, thats an abusurdity.

AMen Sister, well said!

& I thought Polk County was bad!

Its just my opinion that pot is not a drug simply b/c its picked, dried & smoked, not like coke, heroin, (or other shit that I would never consider doing) that is chemically altered or created so to speak like RX drugs.

im not going to get into a big debate over this, opinions are like buttholes, we all have them. I just dont think that it should be put in the same class as "basement" drugs. I am not a big fan of drinking b/c of hangovers, so when the beer light is on, I prefer to smoke. As far as the other things that were mentioned, mushrooms, opium, ...mushrooms dont do anything for me, and yes I know what the right ones are...opium, never heard of it. Bottom line is, it is all bad when used at the wrong times or in the wrong situations...(driving drunk is just as bad, if not worse than driving stoned)

Congrats! Babies are great!

Skydiving to me is life, its coasting in on a sunset admiring the beauty of the world, it is appreciating life for everything it has to offer. It changed me 200%, I can barely remember the person I was before I started jumping, now I am outgoing, full of life, graspng everyday as a new adventure and living life to the fullest, and eagerly awaiting for the weekend so I can go and be one with the sky again

As far has hardcore drugs go, I am against those, however POT IS NOT A DRUG.....anything that is grown from the earth, nad not chemicaly altered is not a drug, I am pro 420 all the way and will always will be. I do not condone smoking during the day, especially during jumps, but once the beer light is on HELL YA! That is one thing I love so much about being a skydiver and being around dropzones so much is that the majority of people are open minded and view weed the same way as I do....okay you may flame me now...

anything by Dean Koontz....

Made two loads at zhills, had a wonderful day, 1st jump was just working on my belly, and second was my first sit fly, and I HELD IT DOWN TO 4500! I know, I know, BEER!!!!!

I m 5'2 130 out the door and I had my first cutaway last weekend, I was terrified of it, all I had done at this point was handle touches and alot of muscle mental memory. My cutaway last weekend was from a spinner that put me on my back, I was amazed after I landed nicely under my pretty white reserve how easy it really was. My rig is equipped with an RSL, I know it beat me to my reserve handle, I was under my reserve in less than 5 seconds. I am really glad that I got it out of the way, & BTW, reserve pins are that tight, I have several rigger friends and have watched a few reserve pack jobs and yeah its right...

I can understand where you would feel odd buying beer if you dont drink, I have been to several DZ's & seen a lot of firsts, I have drank plenty of boughten DZ beer, but I cant recall ever seeing the rule enforced so to speak...I currently owe 6 cases to z-hills, and when I get a job, I will buy up, but then again I drink, so its good for me too...

ahh the ol door monster...I will pass the only advice on that I was given, take two or three deep breaths before you get to the door. That helped me, and sitting at 51 jumps now, I am pretty kosher going out, still a bit wigged on the ride up, but once the door is open I m ready to go...I have been told by several different people that it really goes away around jump 100, but a little "fear" is always good cause it keeps you safe...or so Ive been told

yeah I know its a stupid Bucs thread, but Im posting anyway...0-4 going in and we beat New Orleans, hopefully we have our shit together now!!!!

My prayers, thoughts & hugs go out to their families & you...God Speed

I got love you gifts from the sig other yesterday, 2 suger gliders and a totally bitchen squirrel. The sugar gliders need some handling, but the squirrel "sweetie" is totally cool, loves being out with us, plays with socks the whole nine yards, I didnt know a squirrel had such an awesome personality. She absolutely hates being in her cage... Just wanted to share...I will post pics of sweetie later on, now Im on my way ouththe door to z-hills...

back at z-hills, I made one jump after my cutaway last weekend, but now I have a week to think about it and nerves are up again...just wanted to share, no real point o my post...

voting for the sig other, if hes not jumping hes spanking the monkey or tackling me...
