Which is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard when the weather in the UK is its usual, shite self. So I'm going to Florida! HAAAAaaaaaaaa!!! And it doesn't even matter if it's shit there too...cos I'm going in the tunnel with the gods from Airspeed....Mmmm....Heh heh. Why the fook do people live in England, btw? Can anyone remember???? How hard is it to get US residency? I wanna live in Eloy....or California.....Oh and as if on cue, I look out my window right now and it's PISSIN' DOWN! Grrrrr. And btw, that 'Friday evening to jump at the DZ' stuff....Nope, you've missed the small but relevant fact that our particular DZ's neighbours (who chose to move next to an active airfield) complain about the bloody noise after 6. So that's when jumping stops. Usually just as the clouds clear and the winds drop. It's great.

I've done it. I had about 250 jumps at the time. It wasn't the greatest, to be honest. Firstly, being that 'close' to a tandem master whom I knew well enough to have lost that 'He's a skygod!' factor was a bit gross. But the main thing was the harness was really, really uncomfortable. Comparted to my lil Javelin, I guess that's no surprise... Apart from that, it was just a bit boring actually...Drilling a hole and not being able to move myself. I guess it was a bit like being in a straight-jacket...I wanted to DO stuff with my freefall, to move around, but I had no control...

We had a girl at the weekend who was so scared in the plane that she started getting everyone else on there freaked out too....I've seen them scared and silent before, but she was actually crying..and then, screaming...for about 5 thousand feet. I found it all quite stressful, actually. She was so LOUD! Everyone on there was trying to chill, as you do, and yet this young lady was giving off the impression she was due for the electric chair.....Dunno how the tandem instructors cope with that over and over...She was seriously worse than that bird on your video there...And then she got down and loved it and thanked us for being so sweet! Probably not a contender for AFF though....

Remster, you are indeed right...But I don't think anyone, including SkyVenture, is under the impression that wind tunnels will 'do away with' skydiving....No-one uses a tunnel at present for anything other than honing skills (apart from wuffos who just think it's just an improved variation of a bouncy castle...) Or... do they? Nothing's going to beat real skydiving...But skydiving better through eradicating problems has to be a good thing? And with the British weather, I have to say the idea of being able to train come rain or cloud (or nightfall) seems pretty appealing... Just my 2 cents...(as we say when we have ranted for far too long and feel mildly guilty for being a bit self-opinionated when actually, we are a nice person in the flesh...)

So...what's yours then?
-
Maybe....Is it not allowed on here then Will? I am after people's personal opinions/ decisions, not gospel... Or have we been overrun by forum fascists since the last time I was on here?
-
Just wondered at what point everyone on here would say 'CHOP!'....
-
Oh sorry..I thought this was a thread about pies...never mind
-
shiiiit.....I have to do 18 jumps and post NOTHING until that's done! Right...this is me OVER till I make 18 more jumps.....arse.....God...better make this a good post then....But I got nuffin to say....Erm..Okay...It'll take me about 2/ 3 weeks to do 18 jumps if I go hard out.....so until then....SKREAMER YOU ARE A FAGGOTY GAY TOSSER AND YOU SHAG SHEEP! Adios doooods x
-
Not my best angle hey? I think my true beauty is obscured by fear at doing a flat jump with The Spotting King.....God, it was terrible....Did you SEE his body position on exit? 'Presentation' and 'Relative wind' are concepts alien to this chap.....
-
Why what's up at Langar next weekend? Is it the boogie?
-
Ha ha ha.....you're starting to sound like Ladyboy-Skreamer. Ew. Icky.
-
Hardly surprising I look slightly horrified in that picture, given the way you're salivating over me even in freefall. Dumbass. Thank fuck I had a fullface on.....

My bf and I both carried our rigs through NY airport and also LA, over Xmas. This was fairly close behind September 11th so we though they might be fairly paranoid, however we got through with very little trouble. We both have Cypreses but no-one detected them. My rig got pulled up in NY and the girl asked me to 'Open this bag ma'am'...I told her it wasn't a bag, it was a parachute, and this obviously presented her with too much trouble ( ie it required some amount of brain power and initiative to deal with) so, after some lower-lip biting and brow-furrowing, we got waived through anyway.... The most hassle I got was for having mud on my booties...They thought I might give the whole of the USA mad cow disease or something.... I'd advise you to just play dumb and for God's sake don't mention the Cypres....There aren't many brain cells going around at customs, so rationalising with someone what it actually IS will probably end in tears....

Look mate, you'd be uppity if you were sitting in gale force bleeding winds now having not jumped all friggin' weekend. Bah. We may have shite weather but at least we know how to spell as Queen Elizabeth II herself does! At least it's not all bad here on this damp and cold little isle! ('Untied'!? lmfao!)
-
No, this is just the (incorrect, imho) AMERCIAN spelling... ('American English'? Talk about an oxymoron...)
-
Actually this was not directed at you Michele, I didn't notice you saying 'all Catholic priests are paedophiles', my post simply happened to come after yours.
-
-
Saying that all Catholic priests are paedophiles is akin to saying all German people are Nazis. I.e., it's a stupid inference, and yes, I can see that it could be offensive. Are all Irish people terrorists? Are all Jews avaricious? Are all Americans fat? This is Skyhawk's post, and was originally triggered by (natural) horror towards an act of paedophilia that (thankfully) did not actually occur. Blasting Catholic priests seems at best, irrelevant, at worst, dangerous. They aren't all bad, as anyone with half a brain knows. Prejudice, on the other hand, is.

'togs' = kiwi thing. We Brits say trunks, but they conjure up horrible images of my Dad in the 70s with large, tight shorts-style pants for swimming on.... Swimming shorts? Certainly NOT thongs. Thongs, on men or women (but especially men), are very, very wrong. Why in God's name can the German people not understand this? Even Brad Pitt, or hey - the whole of Airspeed - would struggle to remain cool whilst wearing thongs.....
-
...or some suntanned men frolicking in their swimming togs...

People who hug pwetty fwuffy cwouds. Like you might do withg a pwetty fwuffy bunny wabbit. ;)

Thought no. 1: 'Nice EYES!' Thought no. 2: 'Oh my god we're all naked!' Thought no. 3: 'Fuck. Is it possible to damage your feminine 'bits' doing a backlop naked like this?' Thought no. 4 (whilst alone on early sitfly attempt) 'OhmyGODTHISISFUCKINGFASTWHATTHEFUCKAMIDOINGFALLINGSOFUCKINGFASTTOWARDSTHEEARTHWHATAFUCKINGSTUPIDIDEAWHOSEIDEAWASTHISANYWAY?!!!'

Can't believe no-one has mentioned this but...'poop chute'??? No way. How to ruin that raw, raging sexual moment....'D'ya wan' it up the poop chute, bitch?!' (Alienangel voice if you please) What's wrong with 'arse' or 'shitter' eh? I tell ya, this forum has become the hang-out of cwoud huggers. (Not you E150, I know you're just appeasing the masses..but come on guys, aren't we supposed to be EXTREME and HARD-CORE?!)

Yeh Remi, that way you REALLY fuck with their heads! Ha ha HAAAAAAA!
