  1. I'm not giving multiple choices here because I want to know your primary intentions when you go to a skydiving boogie. Do you go with intent to do more skydiving or partying? Just curious. I personally go to skydive. That is my primary reason to travel great distances. I can drink anywhere. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  2. Your 4-way skills will not be the same, but IMO, freeflying helped me with my RW skills, as far as recovery from funnels and exiting in an awkward position. For me, its all about my center point and being able to fly and dock in any position. I believe it has worked for me, but it may not work for everyone.

  3. a rebound right after I got divorced and he was leaving the state. One of my first jump masters - (he didn't jump any more with me until I got AFF) My current husband.
  4. So the reserve when over the wing? The wing is above the person's head, so I'm trying to figure this out. ( I heard that story too when I got to the dz and I volunteered to take the crotch position. I would think falling backwards would be a more likely senario. When jumped the Beaver doing 8-way always had 2 people on the other side of the strut doing high wheel and low wheel.

  5. When I jumped at a dz that had a cessna with a strut, I preferred the crotch position. When I moved to a new dz with a cessna I always volunteered for that slot. Everyone asked me aren't you scared that your reserve is going to fire into the prop and rip your head off? I said no. At that point in time I had never heard it was a problem. A simple pin check before exiting will lower the probabilty of a pre-mature opening on the strut. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  6. He looks just like you Rob, but cute. Seriously, he is a cutie.

  8. I believe it is our responsibility if they are falsely claiming anything or misleading people. We are supposed to be self -policing aren't we. But more importantly, is the dz in question a group member dz? If so, a complaint should be filed with the USPA and if the USPA BOD had some "balls" (no offense Gary, I know it will take the whole village here), they would implement some ethical requirements to be a Group Member dropzone. I have seen advertisements for a dz, that states they are a USPA certified dropzone, or the USPA certified dropzone for your area. When did the USPA start "certifying dz's" and designated a dz for a certain area. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  9. Yep, we suck, Canada i much cooler than we are. If it were only warmer there..... Do you think we can get Canada and Mexico to switch? Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

  13. Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought this was PENIS thread since there are so many BOOBIE threads. Does it feel wierd when they blow? and yes, I suck today. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  14. And do you blow too? I've tried but he says it feels funny. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  15. I suck and when in the mood, I swallow too. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  16. Where did you read that? Nope, that would be me, Sorry, different person, different post. I'm the asshole. I read too many threads at one time and the heat down here is melting my brain and everythingisrunningtogether. Judy Sorry again.

  17. What exactly is SKYGOD bullshit. What skygod bullshit have you experienced before. You may be getting bullshit if you show up with a chip on your shoulder not willing to take any bullshit. Maybe what you conceive as skygood bullshit is actually constructive criticism. Don't get me wrong, there are certainly enough people out there that think they are skygods and better than the rest than there are those that are better than the rest and you can really learn alot from them if you listen. Good luck. Sunshine - you are better than that putz. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  18. Like Ron said, it sucks, but also its reality. I had encountered it many many times and it seemed like the bar is raised all the time and you can't catch up. Well, I'm hear to tell you, you can, but making an average of less than 50 jumps per year over 7 years isn't going to get you there very fast. Currency is a big big deal. If these up jumpers see you out there all the time, "putting your time in", they are more likely to ask you to jump. Also, you made a comment about you were once an asshole, well, I hate to tell ya, first impressions mean alot. Don't give up, keep jumping and you WILL get on a one of the "good" loads.

  19. First off Scott, you live the the USA and California, the lawsuit capital of the world, it has nothing to do with thick skin and especially if its the person's first jump than extra professionalism needs to be displayed.. There have been TM's in the past that DO touch inappropriately and are gross and rude about it and they need to be fired and ratings pulled. I had no problem when I did my AFF having my JM touch my thighs, chest strap, whatever. Not wanting to be touched inappropriately or talked to inappropriately by someone you just met for the first time and are paying does not make a girl psyco, a guy maybe, but not a girl.

  20. Who is she? I guess I really out of touch. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  21. dz.com boogie? sounds like a great idea. Hope ya'll have a good visit. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  22. Michele - The heat index today is only 110 here in Memphis. Nashville is only 3 hours away. When you've had enough "country", give me a call, and we can show you a little "rock -n- roll", or blues, or whatever. This summer has actually been pretty mild up until this last weekend. Have a great time, if you need anything, call West Tennessee Skydiving, and we will come get you. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  23. Swooped? fast packer? you must be talking about the older Mullins (16 year old) cause the younger one does not pack fast, at least not at home. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  24. Great art work. Now all the guys are crossing their legs. Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  25. There was an article a year or 2 ago, a guy in Denmark took his 2 year old daughter. All I remember about the article is when she landed she went up to her mom and said "I want to fly again mommy". Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
