Bingo! If you assume that packers are going to take care of X, Y, and Z, and they don't, you have a real problem on your hands. If you assume that they won't, and you do X, Y, and Z yourself, and it turns out that they would have done those things for you, your biggest problem is that you wasted 60 seconds doing shit you didn't need to. Enablers!! How about, we come back to put it in the bag for them as well. I’d hate to see them screw that up. We'd better stow the pilot chute also. I’d not want to throw out a knotted up PC.

I've just signed up Gibby from "Citizens for Quiet Skies" fame. I sent in a little extra to move her to the front of the line. They don't have any airport noise there. This should be a perfect solution.... Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Great grandson? Actually, he'd be about my age, maybe a bit older. DB could still be active in the sport. You young pups forget that some of us old farts manage to survive our stupid. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

And if the jumper doesn't want the packer to do that - should they do it anyway? That's another issue.

So, dumping you out with a round would be twice as bad? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Best advice if you want to fly camera.... get really good at the discipline you want to film. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

I'm sorry..... Packers of the world, stow the fricken excess brake lines. It's part of the pack job!

First license was a C. I did everything for the D; card filled out, passed the test, had the jumps but didn't see a good reason to send the USPA the cash for the license. I still have all the paperwork somewhere... just never sent it in and that was over 30 years ago. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Pranks can be fun and make for great stories around the fire. But, things can go bad quickly. Pulling someone out at altitude seams harmless enough. But watch what can happen. In this video, a jumper INADVERTENTLY gets his little finger into the handle of anothers PC handle when reaching for a grip. This could have ended much worse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30xSs3DICCU Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Are you talking about tandem exits? If so are they all in focus and how is the exposure? I would love to see some of your shots. I'm using a Canon G10 and I'm having some exposure problems on the exit shots. I think it's because the auto exposure sets to the dark background of the inside of the plane and then doesn't reset quickly enough once the light fuselage comes into the background. I'll take this issue to another thread so I don't get this one off track. Be the canopy pilot you want that other guy to be. . Sandy... I shoot a G-10 and I'm not having that problem. Contact me. You should have my number.

Soooo... Hooking someones main up backwards is no longer considered funny? Later... I gotta go stop someone from getting on that airplane.... Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

This thread is publicly accessible to the world. Whilst you are not addressing them directly, I wouldn't be surprised if some people have their attention drawn to discussions like this by others as an example of our attitudes and conduct. Act accordingly. Maybe you could give them honorary memberships so no one can talk about them anymore. This forum has been and still is a forum for SKYDIVERS to talk about issues. Woofos are welcome to read and join in on the discussions. But, skydivers (like most) can resort to sarcasm, jokes, and at times even good old fashion common sense. The bottom line here is that these people are not capable of responding to any of this. They will take whatever we say and turn it upside down. I'm not sure candy coating things for Gibby and her merry band of nut jobs is a good idea. I believe in calling a spade a spade! If they want to sue me..... Longmount Skydivers... I am serious about donating to your defense fund. Please contact me if you need to. Gibby... Have a wonderful day! [/cool] Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

That's why you have to spin around and face backwards first. So you use one hand to hold your risers to maintain a backwards-facing posture, then with the other hand you unzip and pull your underwear out of the way, and then with your third hand you pull it out and aim it. Don't forget to shake before tucking it back in. Hey! Seriously, the Noise Nazzi's from Longmount read this thread. What are they going to think of you and your potty mouth, disgusting thought process? Sorry you had to see this Gibby. Oops... Gotta go, the beer light just came on.

Skydiving is an extreme sport. ...It's not for everyone. Skydiving is a very expensive sport. ...It's not for everyone. Most jumpers I've met, in my experience, have sacrificed their financial well being to participate in this sport. It's a fact that this shit costs money. What's the saying? It costs all the money you have and half your paycheck the rest of your life. Bowling, on the other hand, is cheap as hell Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Hey Gibby.... It's me, Skyjumpenfool. You know, one of the guys on your "Threat List". I have only two words for you.... Blue Rain!! Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Isn't it nice having this forum to vent on. Unless your relatives are jumpers, you can pretty much say what's on your mind. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
