I did the one here in Houston. It was my first foray into falling off something higher than a ladder. Lots 'o fun. As far as jumping off a perfectly good bridge goes, I've done the bungie thing. Next time I jump off a fixed structure, it's gonna be with a rig on my back. ------------ Blue Skies! Zennie

Spaceland is $18 to 13.5 (in a Super Otter - woohoo!), but we regularly go out the door at 14. ------------ Blue Skies! Zennie

When you posted that, my first thought was "Man, we must be |337 if frequenters of a web board consider us geeks." ------------ Blue Skies! Zennie

BWAhahahaha! We've had some great material the last few days! ------------ Blue Skies! Zennie

I was way more terrified bungie jumping than skydiving. But I bungie jumped first, so maybe that's why I wasn't as scared skydiving. But yeah, bungie gives you serious ground rush. Dude, if you can summon up the courage to jump off a platform ~150 feet off the ground, you can skydive. And with bungie, you're just falling. When you skydive, you're flying! ------------ Blue Skies! Zennie

Normally meaning you don't roll the nose, as with most parachutes? Or normally, for a Sabre, where you do roll the nose? ------------ Blue Skies! Zennie

Oh now you've done it! You should be ashamed of yourself! Editors are for wusses. I flip the bits by hand with a magnet. ------------ Blue Skies! Zennie

I bumped into it on wreck under the "Skydivers need help to win contest" thread. I figured I'd do my part to help my fellow skydivers in a time of need. Oooo. That'd be good. That or, if they like BASE, Malaysia. They could jump the towers. ------------ Blue Skies! Zennie

OMFG that is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time! THAT'S getting bookmarked! ------------ Blue Skies! Zennie

Lucky for you I speak fluent h4X0r (hacker).

A skydiving couple needs help winning the wedding of their dreams! Go here and vote for Matt and Chigusa! And read their story, it's totally cool! And no this isn't spam, it's legit. ------------ Blue Skies! Zennie

If you can code Perl, Java will be cake. Regular expressions..... ***shudder***. ------------ Blue Skies! Zennie

Hahahahaha! I don't think so. ------------ Blue Skies! Zennie

I agree, using Java for Java's sake is silly. We've used it to create GUIs where we planned on deploying on multiple platforms. If I really need performance, I'll still opt for C++. If I'm creating a GUI, I'll usually opt for Java. Swing is a real joy to use. We've used it a lot for database apps (JDBC is great). Lately we've been dabbling in JSPs to create web-based database front ends. ------------ Blue Skies! Zennie

OK. I read about this. Yeah. He obviously had one mal. What's not clear is whether he pulled the reserve. Lots of these types of things are mals with no cutaway or a cutaway with no reserve pull. I'm not saying that happened here. Let us know if you find out more. ------------ Blue Skies! Zennie

mountainman - What languages do you know? If you know C++ and understand OO concepts, Java's pretty easy (just learning a new API and slightly different syntax - and I mean slightly). If you haven't done any coding before, it'll take a bit to get up to speed. ------------ Blue Skies! Zennie

GiZZeRR. Welcome. Don't worry about the fact that you haven't jumped yet. I hung here and some other forums for about a year before I did my first jump. My guess is there's more to that accident than a simple double-mal. That's almost unheard of. Have any links to info on the accident? I'd like to read it. We might be able to offer some insight that will help you feel better. ------------ Blue Skies! Zennie

The closest I've come is "freedom". I could get really philosophical on how many levels that goes, but I'll let everyone take away what they think best. ------------ Blue Skies! Zennie
