Sunshine don't jump naked. However, a couple of beers and a pond will accomplish the same! In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

Exactly. So if someone doesn't have enough sense to carry an umbrella in the rain, how is it anyone else's fault that they get wet? In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

I'm not going cuz I'm po' and stuck in FL! In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

She's really been getting around FL. Last week we were in a tiny, mom-n-pop, hidden-away, locals-only-type Thai restaurant and there was Janet! She's a huge woman - something like 8 feet tall, I'd guess, with more gray hair than I thought, and a gorilla-cookie type face. TV hides alot.

Can't keep mouth shut.... must voice opinion.... COMMON SENSE FOLKS!!! First of all, whuffos have and will always think that skydiving is nuts. No amount of press (good or bad) is going to change their minds. That's why they're whuffos. That's why we're skydivers. The difference between us is definitely a good thing. It's not our responsibility to make them like us, nor should we care if they do or not. Secondly, no DZ is any safer than any other. YOU ARE JUMPING OUT OF AN AIRPLANE! Get it together - that's just dangerous. A dz is not much more than a piece of ground. It doesn't matter if the ground is hilly, or the grass is long, or it's near water, or it's high altitude, or whatever. It doesn't matter if there are hp canopy pilots swooping, students spiraling, or tandems sinking. It doesn't matter if the planes have hang-up hazards on the doors, or they're held together with silly putty. YOU ARE JUMPING OUT OF AN AIRPLANE! If anything bad happens, the fault lies in your own hands. At some point, you made a decision (or a series of decisions) that got you into whatever situation. So don't take it out on the dz, the dzo, the pilots, the atc, the media, or anyone else. Many of those lost at SDC this year were friends of mine. I shed alot of tears and I desperately wish I could have them back, but I'm not blaming anyone other than themselves for their accidents. So remember that whether you're jumping at Eloy, Perris, Zhills, Deland, SDC, or wherever.... the dz is as safe as you are. peace, love, and hippie shit In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

Just goes to prove if you've got something to sell, put it on ebay. There's someone there who will buy anything! In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

I'm in the same boat. But I was thinking of jumping out of some planes next weekend. Are you going to be at Deland? In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

And I thought I was the originator of purple toenails. Well, mine are purple with sparkles in them. I jump in shorts/t-shirt and tevas. If I'm playing with the dark side, then I wear my rw suit. (It's purple sparkles, too) In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

In fairness, you should have been advised how long it would take. Tony knows how busy he is and how long it will take to make your suit when you order it. There's no reason he can't keep to what you were promised. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

More importantly... what about someone's WORD? Have we sunk so low that what we say is no longer worth anything? Hopefully most people would have the integrity to honor their agreements. I've bought many thousands of dollars worth of equipment from strangers via the 'net. Money first, then gear. I guess I've been lucky to always have gotten what I expected and no renigs on any deals.

At 75 jumps, he should already have done a hop-n-pop, but that's another issue. Getting pushed out of the plane is not cool unless it's on fire or the wings fall off, and only then if you're in somebody's way. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

Same thing goes for a round (except the high performance part). Canopies don't kill people - people kill people. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

Then they could find a few up-and-coming camera flyers, pay for their jumps and maybe some beer. Chances are they'd luck out and get some good footage. Certainly better than anything computer-generated, anyway! In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

I wear a purple bonehead that holds my protrack and either clear or black cheapie-flex goggles, depending on the sun. ***Note to anyone thinking of buying a new bonehead*** the colored ones aren't painted well and the paint chips with the slightest touch. the colors are only cool if they stay on - stick with the black.

Whenever they ask a question, no matter what it is, just say "Yes. Can I go now?". That should get you outta there pretty quick. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal
