  1. you can have them embroidered when you order a rig...or just buy one from your manufacturer...they will do it for you. plus, if you do put something stupid on it (like me) you have an extra handle to put with the rig when you sell it.
  2. Hey, anyone know where I can get a bottle of "Black Death" Vodka??? That stuff was banned a while back in certain states. Do they still make it???
  3. its especially good for setting your dorm room on fire as well...that shit will tear the finish of your floor in no time!!! fyi:make sure that you actually blow out the flame before you drink a flaming shot, otherwise you will have a scar goatee!!!
  4. good point...well taken. Funny story about him: we were at Hirams the other night with some people visiting Sebastian having a couple of cocktails and I said "See that guy over there???" (pointing to rob, dancing aroung with a loud hawaiian shirt on and screaming some sort of lyrics) "Thats your pilot" Needless to say...they really didnt know what to think... Great guy, great pilot...
  5. Its pretty hard to see the line when you have your head stuck up your ass...
  6. I dont know if I can get rob to sober up long enough to do that....
  7. no worries...jumped it yesterday. works fine!!!
  8. Saw the extended version last night...Rob, Bagel (Its your birthday) & Johnny "no balls-no stow"...you guys kick ass!!!!
  9. Yep, going head down...I have a nasty habit of arching for some reason...although I can go head down in an RW suit just fine, but look out if I am in a fleefry suit.
  10. Ever see a freeflyer do RW??? That is much funnier...Even ones that used to be very proficient at it, have troubles.
  11. Every DZ has a designated jackass...I wouldnt worry about it. I usually dont. If you do have a serious problem with him, please...please...please, take it up with him in private. My biggest pet peave is people who cannot control their emotions in front of customers. It is extremely unprofessional and the sport doesnt need any whuffos or students leaving the DZ thinking that we are crazier than we already are. (I am assuming that if this guy is such a jackass, he would probably make some sort of big deal out of this in front of people that really have no business or interest, for that matter, in hearing the whole conversation). Remember, we jump out of airplanes...lighten up!!! (directed to the jackass!)
  12. Assumption of Risk and Waiver of Rights Skydive Borracho, Inc. Indemnity Agreement and Release of Liability Acknowledgment of Risks and Hazards WARNING! SUBTLE HUMOR DOCUMENT! READ CAREFULLY! In consideration for being permitted to utilize the facilities and equipment of Skydive Borracho, Inc., and to engage in ground training, skydiving, parachute jumping, partying, chasing women, drinking beer, and related activities (Hereinafter collectively referred to as "PARACHUTING ACTIVITIES"), I,______________________ hereby agree as follows: 1. I agree that "PARACHUTING ACTIVITIES" as used in this document includes many activities more related to partying, than to skydiving; and that I may be at risk when participating in any activity at the drop zone, even though it may not necessarily be jumping out of an airplane. 2. I hereby RELEASE AND DISCHARGE[ ] Skydive Borracho, Inc., USPA, the aircraft owners/operators if different from above, any city with a drop zone in it, Dan Poynter, Bill Ottley, The cast and crew of "Gypsy Moths", The Freak Brothers, The Marx Brothers, all members of Air Trash, the National Parachute Jumpers and Riggers Assn, President Clinton, Duncan Mc Ewan, Rush Limbaugh, the news media, Parachutist Magazine, Borracho Ambulance Service, The Christian Science Church, the Budweiser Brewery, and any and all agents, or employees of the above parties (Hereinafter collectively referred to as "RELEASED PARTIES"), but NOT the FAA[ ], from any liability for damages as a result of any "PARACHUTING ACTIVITIES" that may occur at Skydive Borracho, Inc.. 3. I further agree to RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS[ ] the released parties insofar as is possible under applicable law. This release from liability is intended to be not only binding to me, but to any other person that might bring suit, including any children not yet born, that I may yet have. 4. I further agree that I WILL NOT SUE NOR MAKE CLAIM[ ] against the released parties in the event that I am killed. 5. I further agree that should any members of my family bring suit against the Skydive Borracho. Inc., I SHALL RETURN FROM THE GRAVE, AND HAUNT THEM FOR A MINIMUM OF 50 YEARS[ ], or the remainder of their lifetimes. 6. I acknowledge that I have been advised that no insurance agency in their right mind would be caught dead covering any of the activities that take place at Skydive Borracho, Inc., and, in the event of an injury, I WILL NEED TO PAY MY OWN HOSPITAL BILL[ ]. 7. I further agree that "JUMP OUT OF A PERFECTLY GOOD AIRPLANE"[ ] is only an expression, and that the aircraft at Skydive Borracho, Inc., are anything but "Perfectly Good". 8. I understand that due to the nature of the sport, it is not possible for an instructor to determine if I have properly sobered up enough to participate in skydiving. Furthermore, it is impossible for the instructor, or any one else to predict with any certainty, how I will act under the influence of alcohol, nor how anyone else at the DZ will act, and that there is NO GUARANTEE THAT I WILL EVEN COME CLOSE TO GETTING LAID[ ] after green light. 9. I further agree to RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS[ ] anyone I pick up at the DZ bar from any liability should I catch AIDS, or any other sexually transmitted disease. 10. It is specifically agreed that each person providing me sex at the DZ is an independent contractor, and not an employee of Skydive Borracho, Inc., or any other released party. 11. I have seen the video tapes, and heard the soundtrack of "The Right Wally" and "The Wally Stuff", prior to signing this agreement.[ ] 12. As part of the consideration for being allowed to try to kill myself with the facilities and equipment at Skydive Borracho, Inc., I PROMISE NOT TO SUE, NOR WRITE NASTY LETTERS TO THE EDITOR OF PARACHUTIST MAGAZINE[ ] for anything that happens at Skydive Borracho, Inc.. 13. I specifically agree that I have inspected the land, facilities, and bar, at the Skydive Borracho, Inc. drop zone, and, although I don't know shit about building inspection, that I am completely satisfied that the big quake will convert it into a pile of rubble, and that I will not BRING SUIT, NOR ANY ACTION[ ] against Skydive Borracho, Inc. for any claim for an act of God. Furthermore, I understand that if God is going to commit an act, it will definitely be against Skydive Borracho, Inc., due to its close resemblance to an aeronautical Sodom and Gommorra. 14. I agree that I have inspected the aircraft at Skydive Borracho, Inc., and although I don't know shit about aircraft inspection either, I don't care; that's why I'm wearing a parachute anyway. 15. I certify that considering my life-style, and the manner in which I am supporting my dependents, that I fit right in with the jumpers at Skydive Borracho, Inc.. 16. I understand that spouses do not always understand the nature of "PARACHUTING ACTIVITIES", and that participating in skydiving at Skydive Borracho, Inc. could cause loss of wife, husband, and custody of my children in a nasty divorce. 17. I further agree that if any other party should bring suit against me, including personal injury, wrongful death, or palomony, that I shall RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS[ ] all released parties from retort, for telling the marshals where to find me. 18. I further agree that should I bring suit, or make claim against Skydive Borracho, Inc., or if any of my heirs bring suit, that the matter first be arbitrated by a board of Air Trash members, or a committee of not less than five Freak Brothers. That is, if I decide to break any promises made on this document, that I wont break this one. But If I'm going to break any of them, and you believe I am not going to break this one too, I have an aircraft to sell the DZ, but I digress[ ]. I further agree that should any other family members bring suit against the DZ, that the first born male child in each household who brings suit, shall become the property of the DZ. 19. I specifically agree, that if the state passes any new legislation rendering any part of this waiver invalid, TO HOLD LEGISLATION RESPONSIBLE FOR UP TO THREE TIMES THE AMOUNT[ ] of any suit brought against the DZ as a result of this legislation. I further agree to vote against any and all legislators who propose any new law that invalidates any part of this waver. 20. I further agree that the venue for any action brought against the released parties by me in the event that I wantonly breech this promise, shall be "The People's Court" because Judge Wapner always rules in favor of the defendants, and because the losing parties can still get compensation from the royalties for the appearance on the show. 21. I specifically agree, that if the court decides that any part of this document is not funny, that this will not effect the humor in any other part of this document. 22. I hereby certify, that I do not suffer from any physical defects, and that (if male), MY PENIS IS AT LEAST EIGHT INCHES LONG.[ ] Nor do I have any mental defects beyond the norm (for jumpers) which would be aggravated by drinking beer. I specifically agree that If I'm lying here, that it is not the fault of Skydive Borracho, Inc., and agree to RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS[ ] the released parties from any liability resulting from the lie being told here. 23. I agree that "PARACHUTING ACTIVITIES" are of little value to the general public, and that I cannot expect to get paid for it. 24. This release is intended to be a CONTINUING DOCUMENT; that is, it may be updated, modified, or changed, and that I agree to be bound by any new clauses put into it after it has been signed. I HAVE CAREFULLY READ THIS AGREEMENT AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY, AND, ALTHOUGH I'M NO LAWYER, I CAN TELL JUST AS WELL AS ONE, THAT THIS IS COMPLETE BULLSHIT, BUT I'M SIGNING IT ANYWAY OF MY OWN FREE WILL BECAUSE I'M HORNY FOR FREE FALL.

  13. Is Perriscam.com still up and running...that website got me fired from multiple jobs....
  14. It would be really cool to have "participating" DZs send an aerial photo of the DZ with the corresponding degrees and distances marked out. So according to the winds aloft, you could actually see which direction that jumprun would be and how many tenths short or long the spot would be. I dont know if that would be too much of a pain in the arse, but it would be great for lazy skydivers or newer jumpers that are having trouble figuring out how to spot.
  15. I stumbled across this website the other day...its really good. It forcast the winds aloft & a bunch of other weather related things for all the DZs in the states. I think that it just got put up and it is in its early stages, but what a great source of information. You can sort out what jumprun is and what the spot is going to be before you even get to the DZ. www.skydivingweather.com
  16. Try a Z1, I know quite a few people that wear glasses with them.
  17. You can always have a rigger install a snap, then you dont have to deal with velcro anymore.
  18. Get someone to video it...and sell it to Real TV.
  19. I would recommend demoing a Crossfire of the same size stiletto that you have now, first. That is so you can really get a good comparison between the 2 canopies. If you get a smaller Crossfire, its going to seem great...just because it is going to be smaller and a bit more reactive. Of course, if you got a Stiletto 107...you would think the same thing. Try to compare apples to apples, then if you find a really nice shiny granny smith...go with it. But, my question is why change manufacturers??? Just for shits & giggles??? Why not change technology? If you are going to change manufacturers, why not try something new...try some airlocks or something...spice it up a bit.
  20. AFF rig w/ a Diablo?!?!?! Gotta love non-USPA DZs!!! As far as the Diablo goes, it has an amazing turn rate. Fastest I have jumped, reminds me of an early edition Jedei. The swoops arent that great, flares like a triathalon, no bottom end to it. It is a 7 cell afterall. I wouldnt even consider a diablo. Other than fast turns, its a dog.
  21. Sorry to hear about that...hear quick!!! Coming from New England...Snow can do the same thing. You dont know whether it is 2 feet or 2 inches. Also, if you have that crusty crap on top and the snow is deep...you can stop in your tracks. Pop! Busted knee. I have seen it happen. Not to mention the lack of depth perception...
  22. My progression was pretty much exactly what you are doing...I spoke to quite a few people about jumping a Velocity before I made a jump on it and had Scott Miller watch my first few landings. He said that I was fine, especially because I didnt reach for the ground, like most people tend to do. Just be accurate (without sacrificing your body to do so) and be carefull. Things can go bad in a big way and quickly.
  23. I will be here...who's picture do you have on your profile???? Was that your Level 1 AFF??? What, was Tony on Radio???? Check your email, punky!!!
  24. It can also depend on how quick your reactions are and what type of canopy you are under. If you are under a boat, then you can probably correct with a riser or simply pop the other toggle. If you are under a tiny HP canopy, you either need to be exceptionally quick or cutaway because it will spin you up into linetwist that you wont be able to get out of. On my first Velocity jump, I had a break fire and it started spinning me. My first reaction was to pop the other break. I got to it while I was in 1/2 a line twist...if it had gotten any worse I would have had to chop it. I strongly recommend that you do not start popping break lines while you are in linetwists (FJC material, that you should have learned). Good question.
