  4. I've had pop ups try to load, but the funny thing is it doesn't happen every time, maybe 3 times in the past week. Go figure A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125
  5. Thanks for the wake up - sigline & avatar should've been changed ages ago. I just might take you up on that if I get the chance
  6. Jump # 92, flying back from a weekend visit to a neighbouring dz. Myself & another newb (+-150 jumps) were planning on doing beer jumps (high h&p) once we got back to our dz. Skygod was sitting in the dogbox, having a beer in the plane as his rig wasn't packed. Halway back the pilot said he couldn't climb due to an ATC hold, would we H&P at 2000'? Maybe Skygod's judgement was impaired, but seeing that we were cocksure & wanting to jump, he gave the OK. 2000', what could be so hard?? We ended up running in at 1800' and on climbout, there was no throttle back. I got onto the step, basically planning on doing more of a pop'n hop than h&p and the next thing I knew I was blown onto my back. 2 backflips later & a very short canopy ride (main) to the ground, I was shaking so much i couldn't open the beer I still had tucked into my jumpsuit. Didn't really come close to death, but it sure was a TIWGTD moment! A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125
  7. ...but I'm a slow thinker! Not sure I can make the grade you pw's are setting here on dizzycom I won't be back in Europe till Oct, but I'd prefer a party Meanwhile, here's ideas for a theme A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125

  11. Gotta wonder what the pilot thought when he reviewed the footage. Anybody else think somewhere deep down he was shitting himself when he saw how close he came to a rotor strike a few times? A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125
  12. I don't know Turtle from a bar of soap, but came across this pic on a friends PC & immediately thought of ole speedy After that, I just HAd to post it A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125
  13. Thanks! BTW - do you carry a sandbag with you on s'dives? Know it's mandatory on the golf course, but not too sure about a dz A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125
  14. See!? Even the greenies admit we're allowed to have fun. C'mon guys - some of us can't get to the dz as often as we want to, so this is a place to still be part of the larger skydiving community... A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125
  15. ooh ooh ooh! I'm planning on visiting later this year! What must i do to jump the DC3? Post boobies? A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125
  16. I can't for the life of me remember why I know Mike, but if we're talking about the same guy, the last e-mail address I have for him is dzbum@gem.co.za Wasn't he involved with organizing show jumps in SA? Anyhow, I hope this helps
  17. Keith, This sentence stood out for me. I just want to add that just because someone does not have a red star next to their name does not mean they do not contribute financially. I make personal donations to HH and they're as much as a premier membership costs. I just like the freedom to make those donations at my will. A forum is about a community. I have started a forum on my website for people interested in wine & SA's winelands. Nothing much happening there yet, but I don't plan on making ANY income from the forum. That's what selling advertising space is for.. A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125
  18. ... I like this answer. And in the technical forums, sure they still have a place. Take Billvon or Quade for example, if they stopped jumping it doesn't mean the knowledge they have gained stops too. Ditto

    My sentiments exactly! I took a break 2001-2004, did a bunch of 'dives in 2 months & didn't jump again 'til November 2007. My dz buddies still remain part of my extended family. They may have spread around a bit, but that means I feel som much more welcome at several dz'sin my province and also in at least 4 other countries! Jumping or not jumping is not always in our control, but that doesn't mean our passion diminishes. Cést la... A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125

  23. Not too sure, but I haven't seen a new Naro since 2003... What size is that container? We had a guy jumping a rig that looked exactly like that one with a Bladerunner 150 & a Tempo150 in 1997 A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125
