Since when is 20 too young? They're the best ones! Cute, impressionable, energetic, and obedient! In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

Of course. Industrial haze looks beautiful from above. Pull at pull time and if you're in the haze, then spiral down and land wherever you come out. The surprise is the best part! In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

Talk to manifest. Most reasonable people will allow a one-day grace period. Since this is a long holiday weekend, you'll probably be SOL. Just bring it in Thursday morning and give your rigger an extra $20 for same-day service. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

What the hell is a craw tater and where would I buy one to try for myself? In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

I moved 1200 miles from my home dz because it snows there. They became my family and I miss them alot. (They might even miss me, too!) But there is no growth without change, so go ahead and do it! In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

Professor Kallend?? Can you help with this one? In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

Whose cutaway was it? In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

I don't get it. What's up with the 'most cutaways' contest? a: "I have the most" b: "Do not!" a: "Do too!" b: "Do not!" a: "Do too!" Personally, I'm happy to say my cutaway total is zero . I've even kicked out of spinning line twists on my stiletto to avoid it. Another reason not to hum it in -- clear the mal and it won't cost you a day hunting in the corn or a repack.

Very well said. Faith and organized religion are two different things. You were lucky to have some guidance in the matter early on. I (and others, probably) spent years learning the hard way. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

No. I think it's stupid. Then again, I thought Jackass was stupid, too, until I watched it with some amber refreshment in hand.

This is FUNNY! Ask Nick to e-mail the file to you. Hilarious! --thanks, Nick. Since there's nothing but rain in FL, I might just head to MCO this weekend and try it out! In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

Nice. Get us all worked up and then leave us unsatisfied. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

Step 1: position crow decoy Step 2: hide in nearby tree with your own gun Step 3: aim carefully and return fire problem solved! In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

You might be sending the wrong message. Sure, it's plenty funny here, but think what might happen when everyone is drunk and dancing around the bonfire. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

You're way off base getting upset about this. The article isn't about extreme sports. It's about using extreme sports in advertising. He says the advertisers are trying to convince the general populus that drinking a Mountain Dew is the equivalent of skydiving (or mountain biking, or kayaking, or bungee jumping, or whatever). And he's right. Those of us who participate in extreme sports (and the term 'extreme' is relative) know better. We know what's real. It's the manicured, $30 haircut, getting-a-facial, tanning-bed, MBA, salary-man that the article is aimed at. If you want to be part of extreme sports, you don't drink Mountain Dew or watch X-games. You get off your ass and get out there. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

I'd be interested to know how a Dr. determined you have no internal injuries without x-rays. Sounds like you might have gotten the brush-off. My $.02 -- go to another doctor and soon. Sometimes a walk-in clinic will give you better attention than an ER. There's a reason you're in pain and you shouldn't have to accept "well, it's probably such-n-such". You should know for sure. Work sucks. Let's skydive!

Wow.... I sell guitars, I'm a graduate economics professor, a reporter for Fox13 Tampa Bay, a Canon at Holy Trinity church in Australia, I'm drums and vocals for a band called Brother Jed, and I race Porsches, too! Work sucks. Let's skydive!

Andy - I just jumped in the same boat as you! Mine is a '95, too, with 117K miles. The head gasket blew and everything just went to hell from there. The mechanic says they won't even fix it because of the miles. "Just buy a new engine", they say. "Our low low bargain price of just $3600". Work sucks. Let's skydive!

Judging by the threads here, most places around the country will cost you +/- $2500 from first jump to A-license. Gear is a whole separate issue. Beer is very important, too, but should come only after you buy gear (since you can't really buy the amber nectar after "Look, Ma! No gear!") Insurance! Good point. Call your insurance company and ask. Mine is covered under my homeowners policy. That includes while it's in my car and on the DZ. I don't even have to carry it as a special rider. But they did make sure to tell me that they won't cover any damages caused by malfunctions. Work sucks. Let's skydive!

I don't know about used, but I know where you can get a brand new tempo for a great price. e-mail me if you're interested and i'll give you my buddy's name & number. Work sucks. Let's skydive!

Well, unless they're REALLY REALLY sure about the sound wave thing, I'd suggest they don't build it out of glass. Work sucks. Let's skydive!

Fired! Not only immature, but also unprofessional and potentially dangerous. If she was that pissed at him, then she should have just drug his ass outside and beat the hell out of him. Work sucks. Let's skydive!

Well, no one ever accused me of being a rocket scientist. I fought to get out of the harness before swimming out from under the canopy. Doh! I agree about the gear. Mine is far too valuable to be intentionally throwing into ponds. Work sucks. Let's skydive!

I'll be the first to admit that there are alot of idiot EMTs and Medics out there. But not all of us are morons. I've never cut off anyone's rig or jumpsuit. And I have no intentions of doing so unless you require resucitation - in which case you really shouldn't be concerned about your gear anyway! Your best care comes from yourself! So long as you are conscious, you should be a part of your treatment. Don't just lay there like a lump and wait for someone else to make you all better. There was an accident and you will have pain - it's a fact - deal with it. You're the one who got yourself hurt (because ultimately, you're the one who decided to jump), so say where and what hurts and help us to help you. As for level of training of responding crews.... a femur fracture is supposed to be treated the same whether you're an EMT or a Medic. Some Medics will go straight for the drugs, but EMTs know that traction comes first. BLS before ALS -- always! Work sucks. Let's skydive!

This one's easy. Teach him to skydive. Work sucks. Let's skydive!
