That's probably true. And I, for one, appreciate your defending my right to express my opinion. Skydiving is for cool people only

Instead of "inferring," I think the word you want is "implying." I didn't respond because you are lame. Sorry. Skydiving is for cool people only

I'm pretty sure it's O'Hare. Dear Sunshine, I need to get to Ottawa from O'Hare. Can you help? Sincerely, Troubled Skydiving is for cool people only

I know. I meant to buy tickets to Florida but I got confused. Please don't rub it in. Skydiving is for cool people only

So if there were this girl flying into Chicago next Friday afternoon, and she really didn't want to have to rent a car, but needed to get to Skydive Chicago, what should she do? Are there any shuttles/buses/etc.? I CAN rent a car, I just don't wanna. I would have this planned out better, but making the trip was a last-minute decision. Skydiving is for cool people only

I love my parrots, even though they poop on me and chew up the windowsill. And fling bird seed everywhere. And destroy every expensive toy I buy them within 5 minutes. And eat my food, and scream a lot, and reject my affection, and...and.... Stupid birds. I hate them. Skydiving is for cool people only

Right, to stick your [very bad expletive] into. Also, you mispelled Cuisinart. Skydiving is for cool people only

No! Men. They're so breathtakingly ignorant. Skydiving is for cool people only

Why must you turn my forum into a HOUSE OF LIES?! Pfft. Now you're probably going to go home and take a Calgon bath, drinking an International Coffees fake cappuccino, reading Ladies Home Journal. This is a dark day. Just kidding! Huge embarassing bouquets rock! As long as you only enjoy them in an ironic way. Skydiving is for cool people only

Um...chocolate? A million dollars? A promotion? A pet parrot? A box of cereal? A voice mail from someone hot? What was it? Skydiving is for cool people only

I'm 26 years old and I've been e-mailing my dad begging for reassurance. It's a scary time. Skydiving is for cool people only

...in a couple of weeks. All y'all midwesterners PM me if you want to hang out. I might even be jumping. I'll pack my long underwear. Skydiving is for cool people only

That made me laugh.

This is bugging me. I have a problem with the idea of someone knowing enough to convince the FAA to give him a ticket, but still being unqualified to rig on his own -- even though it's perfectly legal for him to do so. It's like giving someone a driver's license even though he obviously shouldn't be driving without an instructor in the car. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Skydiving is for cool people only

Speaking of correcting the punctuation of others, that period should be inside the quote marks. I'm sorry, it's just that I never get to post in this forum. Skydiving is for cool people only

Whoa. I'm suddenly remembering my modem infancy. I was all into local BBSes in high school, then in early college, was telnetting all over the damn place. Anyone remember shadowbbs, or ISCA, or brinta? When I went off to school my parents got me a computer with a 14.4 modem, quite a step up from the 2400 we had at home. Holy shit. The first time I tried to pull up a "web" page I thought it was broken because it was loading so slowly. This was 1994. Skydiving is for cool people only

Well, the ISP coaching program is actually pretty cheap, especially compared with a setup like Skydive Dallas, where you have to buy a bunch of expensive Skydive U jumps. That's where I went through my student training, and they required three of them. Now they want six. The coaching through the ISP is really just beginning relative work with people who have had some basic teaching instruction and have had their air skills checked off. I think it's largely to prevent four people with eight jumps each from skydiving together. With regular ISP coaching, the cost to the student ranges from free (just pay your own slot) to both slots plus pack job and maybe some change. I wish it had existed when I got off student status. I did my three Skydive U jumps, then was sort of adrift. I was so sucky no one wanted to jump with me. Boo hoo. Skydiving is for cool people only

Generally, I don't think you can actually become a rigger in a week. I hear that most people who come out of those short courses with their tickets have already been studying/apprenticing for a while. Here is a good post by riggerrob on the subject. Skydiving is for cool people only

Thanks for the tip, Chris. Remind me to beat you next time I see you. I'll try that, thanks Wendy. You're right about the burrs. I use soft links. I'm taking this canopy off my spare risers to sell it. Skydiving is for cool people only
-
I need to get a canopy off its risers, and I'm having a hell of a time unscrewing the barrels on the links. I have a pair of pliers, and I'm using a screwdriver stuck through the link for leverage, but no love. Help? Skydiving is for cool people only
-
Good for you. Carpe dadum.

Why are you a rigger? Or studying to be one? It's a lot of trouble, and time, and expense, and there isn't a great financial return. What was your motivation to get your ticket? Skydiving is for cool people only

UNITED NATIONS - Iraq approves inspectors' use of U-2 surveillance planes, pledges additional cooperation, Iraqi ambassador says. So isn't that one of the last sticking points? Hasn't Iraq acquiesced to almost all of the U.N. demands? Skydiving is for cool people only
