the world's funniest joke (according to the Brits)
Sled14 replied to waltappel's topic in The Bonfire
Heard this on a radio talk show, not PC but pretty funny Whats the difference between a microwave and a faggot? The microwave doesn't fart when you pull your meat out. -
I want to eventually get lasik, once I'm out of school though. Only thing I think about is that my friend got it and he said he was conscious the whole time and they cut the top part of the eyeball and peel it back then do work on the eye. Just thinking about that is kinda weird. Was this the same on your surgery?

We were there about a month ago for fright fest and rode it. Very very fun ride. Is exactly like the one in the video but it is higher and has a hill at the end. Just when I thought roller coasters were dull, this ride made me enjoy them again. Just watching the cars take off is kinda blurry because of the speed. Sometimes the cars dont quite make it to the top of the arch, so they roll back down the 476 or so foot tower and then they reset them and launch them again. Best amusment park ride I've ever been on, but still prefer skydiving

There was also an extensive article all about it from the perspective from a skydiver who went through training and did it in the November 05 issue of Skydiving magazine. Used the http://www.halojumper.com/ company also

Damn that looks sooo cool, definitly on my list of things to do when I get several hundred more jumps
-
Try checking on www.accuweather.com less than 48 hours before the jump. It says what the weather will be and wind speed and wind gusts. For my dropzone, I check it and since it has an 18mph limit for students. if the gusts are anything above 18 than they will not be jumping.

Yeah I understand, right when I got the message and saw how it could offend people I changed it. Just I dont check this site that often and when I came back to see all these pm's and messages I was suprised, but should've guessed it would be offensive.
-
Ahah damn people calm down, its changed

Yeah great show. My fav line is Mr. Garrison - Hello doctor looks like i need an abortion. Doctor - an abortion? Mr. Garrison - Yeah I've got one growing inside me, now are you gonna scramble its brains or just vaccum it out. If you want you can just scramble it and I'll queef it out myself.

Completing AFF at different DZ - is it a bad idea?
Sled14 replied to kirrz's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I did my first 7 jumps, up to level 5 or through cat d, in virginia then went to school and had to switch to a different drop zone to finish. The instructors at the new dropzone reviewed my logbook, and I got to start off where I ended. It sucked because of starting to get to know people at one dropzone then having to do it all over again at a new one, but since I am too far away to be driving back every weekend, it was a good choice. -
So far I have 12 jumps and have spent $2,488 on the jumps and training, goggles, altimeter, USPA membership, SIM and log book. Will be buying helmet and jumpsuit soon, plus have 13 jumps left until I can get an A license, so probably will be around $3,500 to get my A with required gear. After that gotta start saving for my first rig.

Hey I graduated AFF yesterday and saw that I need to get a helmet and jumpsuit. I was wondering what you guys would recommend. I was thinking of getting the Bonehead Mindwarp but do you think thats too much for someone who still doesn't have their A license? I plan on going regularly, and maybe in couple months getting a Pro-Track for the log book feature but wouldn't use the audible for a while so I dont become dependent on it. And for jumpsuit, should I just get something basic or what? Thanks for any help
-
Congrats, I also graduated yesterday Just checked mine and they wrote me reminder also, ahha

If you have enough money, I suggest taking a helicopter ride around Manhattan. We did when we were kids and it was cool seeing it from the air, plus the heli ride was fun
-
Weathers f-ed me out of jumping past month, every time I get a chance its either raining, too cloudy, or windy as hell. Finally got a jump in Fri, then going tomorrow to graduate AFP

Ahah theres a site for him now http://www.thebeerlooter.com/ Edit: just counted, there are around 454 more photoshopped images of him

Favorite one-liners or routine for tandem interviews.
Sled14 replied to weegegirl's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
When I was doing my second or third aff, on the ride up my instructor was going over hand signals. A videographer for some tandem goes "What does this mean:" then flips me off and then makes a W with his hands. I'm like, uhh no clue "Fuck you, you signed the wavier" -
When I was 7 or 8 my babysitter had a cassette deck with the song "how to suck a dick" on it and let me listen to it
-
Snatch and Office space are great, Falling Down is pretty good also, kind of serious but very funny
-
Can't believe I missed it, any word if it will be on DVD?
-
Damn, they were jumping this weekend? I thought b/c the bad weather there was no way, guess i should call rather than rely on weather.com
-
It took about 3 weeks before I got my first mag, but they sent both Sept and Oct at same time
-
Probably a dumb question, but I was wondering say when I have at least an A license or B and I got my sibling or friend to go on a tandem, how do you guys think most instructors would feel about letting me jump with them, not taking them but acting like camera guy, just freefalling with them. The reason I ask this is because some of my friends want to do a tandem and asked me if I could jump with them.

You have 8 jumps and are gonna jump with a 135? I hope your a toothpick
