  1. John Stanford, actually. And the Adventure Loft is no more...I'm not sure what John Storrie is calling the place now, but I think it's in Denton. Skydiving is for cool people only
  2. You may not be able to sell it, but $600 for an entire first rig is a great deal either way. It paid for itself after 24 jumps (if gear rental is $25). Sounds like a perfect buy for you to use for a while, then maybe keep as a backup when you get something else. Skydiving is for cool people only
  3. Just this one guy, but he wears a helmet with a fake mohawk on it. Skydiving is for cool people only
  4. Oh my God it is so hot and muggy. Skydiving is for cool people only
  5. Playing "pretty well" leads to a sweep? Well, now you can root for the Stars, who I might add are still in the playoffs. You're lucky I moved to a non-hockey town and am absorbed by basketball these days, or you'd get some real abuse. Skydiving is for cool people only
  6. "The media"? Try one television station. I agree that it's crap, but it's not the entire news industry. Skydiving is for cool people only
  7. Hello, my name is billvon, and I would like to ask you: Can you... -flare turn, at least 45 degrees -flat turn, at least 90 degrees at 50 feet -land in no wind and crosswind -land on slight uphill/downhills -land reliably in a 10 meter circle -land with rear risers -make a double fronts and a front riser HP approach ...under your current canopy? If so, you might be ready to downsize. Skydiving is for cool people only

    I want one, too. I did a thread with this exact same title and content almost exactly a year ago. Skydiving is for cool people only

  10. Does anyone know if this has ever happened on a clothed jump? Seems to me a shirt and bra and jumpsuit offer enough protection that one wouldn't have to worry about it. I would be extremely hesitant to do a topless jump with them, especially after hearing Kelly's description of what happened to that girl at x-keys. OW. Skydiving is for cool people only
  11. Wow. I've never heard of such a thing. You might wanna cross post this in General Skydiving Discussions, where you're sure to get more feedback. Skydiving is for cool people only
  12. No, sorry, but I do know he was a Shang by birth. Poor kid. Something like this was inevitable. Skydiving is for cool people only

    Ambivalence

    Hey, do you get Skydiving magazine? Read Marianne Kramer's interview in the latest one. She's such a cool woman; I trained at her DZ. She couldn't get out of the plane for half her AFF jumps, and now she's a world-class canopy pilot (and a role-model for a lot of women in the sport). If you dont' get it, I'll copy it and send it to you. Everyone learns differently. I was a perfect AFF student, then completely folded for my first year in the sport. I'd have quit if I hadn't already spent $3,000 on equipment. Skydiving is for cool people only

  18. These are popular after the beer light...be careful. Teen blinded after being shot in eye with potato gun DALLAS (AP) — A teenager was blinded after being struck in the face with a frog shot from a so-called “potato gun.” Daniel Benjamin Berry, 17, received the injury after he looked down the barrel of the gun's PVC pipe barrel and was hit in the face by the frog. “He is going to be blind in both eyes,” Daniel's mother, Lisa Berry, said. Potato guns are made of pipe with one end sealed. A potato is wedged into the open end and a flammable liquid put into a sealed chamber is ignited, launching the object. Denton County Sheriff's Department spokesman Kevin Patton said the accident occurred about 1 a.m. Sunday when Daniel Berry joined a crowed of teenagers watching the gun be fired. When it misfired, Daniel Berry looked down the barrel to see what was wrong when the gun went off, Patton said. “He said it just went off. It was a misfire. It hit him square in the face,” Lisa Berry said, adding that her son had broken bones in his face that would require surgery. Patton said no charges would be filed. “This is the first incident involving a potato gun that we have had to deal with,” he said. “What are you going to do? This was an accident.” Lisa Berry said the accident ruined her son's career dreams. “All he ever wanted to do was be an Air Force pilot,” she said. “That isn't going to happen now.” AP-WS-04-15-03 2022EDT Skydiving is for cool people only

    Allergies

    That's exactly what symptoms I have, and yes, despite my co-workers accusing me of having SARS, it's allergies. It happens every year. This is your first year in a new place, right? That's always the worst time for seasonal allergies. Your body is like HEY WTF IS THIS CRAP IN THE AIR COUGH HACK WHEEZE. Just get some OTC allergy medicine and pass your days in a legal high. Although last night my throat hurt so bad at 4 a.m. I gave up and took some a Vicodin left over from a skydiving injury so I could get some sleep. Skydiving is for cool people only
