  1. That makes you "Wussie # 2" because after seeing this, I claim Wussie #1. Too bad it's in slow motion. Otherwise, we could figure how high he is based on fall time. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  2. Check this guy out.... http://www.livevideo.com/video/numanuma/06CCFFE61BFB4D6E8A3FED5EC40E1DBA/no-parachute.aspx Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  3. My take on this one.... This guy did his first static line training today. Of course, the winds picked up so he didn't get to jump. He is so stoked, he just had to practice what he learned today. So, during his break at work, he got in a few landing falls. Sometimes we just forget what this sport does to Newbs.....

  4. Not to mention spitting hot oil all over your new jumpsuite/rig....... Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

  8. I can only say this about garage door springs!! IF YOU HAVE TO ASK ... CALL A PRO!!! Seriously, these things kill GD Woofos. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

  12. Did you see this... US Patent Issued on April 21, 1987 Estimated Patent Expiration Date: June 19, 2004 Does that mean I can start up a new business? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  13. In my case, I've landed in every field on the county. We have huge wide open spaces here. Doing CRW, you sometimes land off. (in my case, more often than not). Off DZ landings do not scare me. I just try to remember my rule of thum. Pick out a field to land in by 2,000 and set up your approach by 1,000. Know the area, and know the obsticales.

  14. Even TI's need instruction. This one may need it sooner than later?? But, hopefully, he'll learn and improve. Don't write him off, but see to it he gets training. Thanks for posting this. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  15. Wow! That is a bit scary. I did a jump shortly after a tornado came thru... that didn't go so well. Squirrelly winds can be dangerous. This video did not show the landing. How did it turn out?? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  16. They are simply awesome Blue skies But, are they warm enough for winter jumping.... the below 0 stuff? Well, at least the 10-30 degree jumps?? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  17. Can you post what you find??? Thanks Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  18. Great thread! Bottom line.... You never know when your going to have to go to your researve! Be ready every time you jump. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  19. The beauty of this sport is... There is always something to learn. Take it one step at a time and don't be in too big a hurry. Talk to your instructor, they'll tell you where to start. Good luck, we all look forward to jumping with you. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  20. I keep telling people... "Despite the Tandem ride reputation" Skydiving is an extream sport! Bruises along with a broken bone or two are not out of the ordinary. It is what it is?? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  21. IMHO and as I see it; Then... We used to waite around for the Cessna to land. We got in about 3-4 jumps a day (buck a thousand). It took 45 minutes to altitude. We played alot of cards, hacky, and volleyball. We did a lot of 2, 3, and 4 ways. Today... We get in about 5-6 jumps a day. We wait around for tandems while we play cards, hackey, or volleyball. It takes 15 minutes to altitude. We do a lot of 8, 12, and 16 ways. It's more expensive but what isn't. Bottom line ------Stop bitchin and get in the airplane!!

  22. How big were pea pits in the early days? NEVER BIG ENOUGH!! Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  23. That might be, but just imagine the talent it took to fly those jumpsuites.... Three of those guys flew "Balloon Suites". It was like docking on the Pillsbury Doe Boy. It's a shame I was wearing a hat fot the picture. Back then I had a full head of hair. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
