Um...how is Joe(l)'s personality and actions Jimmy's fault? Jimmy doesn't control anyone. There are a lot of very well trained jumpers that have done a lot of pretty crappy things...many that we even respect now. "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage

Like anyone would need any more incentive to be there, but if ya'll do... I'll be there!

With so many experienced jumpers in my area, it kind of surprises me how many guys come to me for discussions/advice. I think it's an approachable thing. I'm a lot less intimidating than the big guys

Hey now, he's not the only lefty! And on the other topic here...does anyone possibly have video of an oscillating PC where the canopy does not have an off heading? "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage

Just my random opinion: I've had mine from when they first came out (I honestly can't remember exactly when that was) and whenever I hear someone even mention the Toxic my first thoughts are "I *love* mine!" When I first packed it, I was a little worried that with ZP at the apex it would slip, but the feel of it at pitch time is amazing. I've done some silly, unscientific, inflation tests with it and my old one of the same size from BounceProof (mainly throwing them off of things with some weight) and the Toxic inflates noticeably quicker (I did not take any actual measurements). This thing has a nice solid snatch force that you can feel when "airing it out" before packing it. Basically, I'm in love. "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage

What is your favorite "Real Men of Genius" Commercial?
hollyhjb replied to mattyblast's topic in The Bonfire
My favorite is definitely the toilet paper refiller one. But this is because the owner of the race track in Twin Falls, made a 'commercial' with this song using his son as the star. His son worked there and was the restroom attendant...it was seriously the most funny thing I have ever seen, and i think about that video every time I hear the song.

Yes, the licking kid is single...and he's a 20 year old college student! Plus, when we were in elementary school he wanted to be the pope. "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage

Not for everyone! I had a friend in highschool that could do it with ease. I also had a friend that asked us to staple his arm repeatedly. "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage

That is a good question! I have talked to both of my parents about this very thing. My dad doesn't watch my jumps in person much anymore because of this very reason. He can't stand watching his baby get hurt. My mother though is one of those people that really would rather be there, and see it herself, than get information second hand. She was with me when a fellow jumper went in literally before our eyes, and has stuck with her decision to watch my jumps, and help out, whenever possible. I think it's very important to talk with your family about jumping, and help them be involved however they desire. Letting my family participate in ground crewing, driving, or dinners, helps them accept my jumping. The first time I asked if a jumper could stay at the house my father was really nervous, but he soon realized jumpers are respectful people. I think of it as two more people that are on our side if all the chips came crumbling down. "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage

My mom ground crews for me sometimes. She has no desire to skydive or base jump. I know her pretty well, and who better to trust when your life is on the line? "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage

How Much Money to Give an 11 Year old Girl for WA DC Trip...
hollyhjb replied to ACMESkydiver's topic in The Bonfire
When I went on those DC trips (three or four total) my mom always gave me $100. I usually brought back at least half of it (and got to keep it!), but the extra was need for that just in case stuff...once one of my friends got separated and had to take a taxi to the hotel.

You can get it in plastic bottles for $24 for a case of 24 bottles....that's normal, odd they would do that with their pricing strategy. "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage

I always thought it only happened if you drank a TON of water and did a lot of activity (like during a marathon)....but then a girl here died at that radio thing. I learned that you only have to drink a gallon of water to feel the effect of (and possibly die from) hyponatremia. "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage
