Oh man, I am SO screwed.... - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

HEY! No fair! This was my idea! - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

** whispers ** Hey guys, I think it's working! - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

Well, my current luck being what it is, if I'm not gonna be getting any, I might as well have some fun playing with people's minds. GOD I'm such a tease. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

Yeah I know. And in that time not only would I have to act uninterested, I'd have to fend off guys like you. Ironically enough, I'd probably have to visualize a guy's big hairy ass. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

Man, this could do wonders for my ego. Getting hit on by chicks and guys all over the place. I've been hit on by guys before. I just say "Hey man, I'm flattered, but I'm a flaming heterosexual." - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

He did just say "laid", didn't he? Hmmm. This could get kinda complex.... - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

See, that's what I'm thinking. Girls would see it as a challenge. Only thing is the gay guys would have to agree not to "out" me as heterosexual. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

There are two types of guys girls seem to gravitate around... married guys and gay guys... both for the same reason I think: because they're safe. Welp. I ain't married anymore, so maybe if I hold myself out as gay.... - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

Heh. Funny story. I went up to visit my folks in Indiana a couple years back. I'm walking around the garden checking out the flowers and all of a sudden my folks hear "AAAGGHH!! Shit!!" and see me hopping around swatting at my feet. Some ants had gotten onto my feet and I instinctively freaked. Problem is, they were carpenter ants... totally harmless. There aren't any fire ants that far north. So I explain to my folks my freakish behavior and they go "There are ants that bite?" Even funnier is when I tell the story to Texans. They go "There are ants that don't bite?" LOL - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

** walks into thread ** GEEZ! YOU GUYS ARE STILL IN HERE? WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?![/B] - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

Oh I dunno. I think you'd get some argument with a lot of folks on that one. How'd you like to biff in, bust a femur on the first bounce and then land directly on top of a fire ant mound? That, my friend, is the definition of a "bad day". Happened to a good friend of mine. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

No. That's Todd's job. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

Lots of jumpers go through "burnout" phases. Some are permanent, some are temporary. Just depends on the person. Losing friends, spending way too much money, getting sick of politics... those are the usual reasons. Life is what you get out of it. Priorities change. I think parachuting is the first activity that I've had that I've stayed in for 3 years. I just recently went through a 3 month stretch where I wasn't skydiving. It was actually a very healthy thing. I realized there is a life outside of skydiving. Things to do and have fun doing. People to hang with. When I wasn't skydiving I was reading, doing yoga, learning rock climbing. I was BASE jumping so that helped scratch the itch. When I started jumping again a couple of weeks ago I did it because I wanted to. And I felt reinvigorated. Just go with your gut feelings and never have any regrets for following you heart. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

Ya know, when I was out in Moab I asked Marta this question, because a few jumpers thought it was unusual that Vertigo was using mini rings on their risers. Marta seems to be fairly style-conscious, so she felt the minis were more fashionable. I also asked if she felt there would be any compromise in strength by going to minis and she said that the strength ratings on mini rings were extremely high, well within the margins of any BASE utilization. And if you think about it, the big argument against minis in the skydiving context doesn't have anything to do with strength, it has to do with potential ring hang-ups during a cutaway (the bigger rings have less of a tendency to bind up). Since cutaways aren't really a consideration for us (unless we're hanging in a tree or a set of guy wires ), there really isn't a reason I can think of to shy away from minis. Anyone? - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!! They sent you the WRONG SUIT!!!! It's not supposed to have those weird grippy things. It's supposed to be loose-fitting with lots of neato colors and velcro at the ankles and wrists... Send it back!!!!!! - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

I don't see "Basket Case" anywhere on the list. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

Are the WLO toggles from Vertigo? If so, remember that those toggles are designed for Vertigo risers, which are minis. This means if you go with a Gargoyle, make sure it's set up to take mini risers rather than the standard size ones. As far as the Ace vs Blackjack goes, most folks here I think would steer you away from valved canopies for your first one. If you'll be jumping a lot of low stuff, then that might be the way to go, if you're doing more high jumps, you might want to consider an Ace. For the record, my Ace opens and handles just dandy high & low. As far as pins vs velcro goes, I went againt a lot of folks' advice and got a Warlock. Closing the container wasn't a problem, but you do seem to need to be a lot more careful in making sure you don't distort the packjob while closing it. Food for thought. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon
