Traditional Irish folk music. I grew up on the stuff and it's enjoyed by all in my little part of the world, but I'm not usually around people from my part of the world I got nuthin

In TX it's Shiner or Dos X. In Canada Alexander Keith's or Sleeman's. I got nuthin

I have difficulty visualising the exact scenario here... Maybe the gerbil wasn't quite big enough. We were messing around on the sofa and I didn't think to lock up my ferrets before I took out my weasel. I got nuthin

I was super-impressed with the bathrooms at Gold Coast Skydivers in Moss Point (I'm not sure if the DZ is still at the same location, I remember a few years ago there was some bullshit with the airport). It was weird being on a DZ that had a bathroom cleaner than my Mom's I got nuthin

I dunno, I've been nomadic for WAY too long. I hope to have a better answer to the question in about 4 months

I once got attacked by a ferret...She chomped down on my sac mid-stroke. Between me, my ex, and the ferret, I'm not sure who was more scared Also I fell out of a Beech 18 while getting out after sex. Not sure if that counts I got nuthin

You can try googling 'MP3 editing software' and there are a few programs out there that will do it for you. You can find some that are freeware, or at least have a free trial period. I'm a lazy asshole but if I weren't I'd give you an exact link. Maybe somebody else can do better I got nuthin

It's definitely intimidating when you start learning, but just keep practicing. After a while it won't be a scary 5 hour ordeal, it'll just be a 5-minute pain in the ass I got nuthin

Yeah 15's where I got to the point of almost chucking the computer. The beer's aren't helping either ***EDIT: I just beat 15. That's the end, there is no 16 I got nuthin

My mother's side was purely Irish decent (that's where I got my taste for the bottle). I think my Dad's a bit of a mutt. I was born and raised in Canada, then moved to the US for about 3 years, then to Venezuela, and now I'm bouncing around all of Latin America. It's cool skydiving in Latin American and seeing the same basic principles as all DZ's I've been to in North America (basically meaning a whole lot of smiling good people, Sublime on the stereo and a lot of hangovers Sunday morning), but while drinking beer with a funny name

Is there a recommended period after which you should replace Slinks? I've had them on my main for a few years and a few hundred jumps. They look good aside from showing dirt that's been picked up over the years, but I'm wondering if they should be changed out every 3 years or ever X-hundred jumps. Is there a recommendation for this?

Foreigners working skydiving in the US
lippy replied to lippy's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I was replying to lost_n_confuzd's suggestion that I need a multiple-entry visa. As you stated in your response, that doesn't apply to me because my Canadian passport serves that purpose. I'm curious about this...I understand that when I'm in the US I'm a foreigner, and CBP has every right to deny me entry, but what're the circumstances that'll lead to it being 'the hundredth time when the officer enforces the law'? If I come into the country as a respectable person (they don't know I'm a skydiver) with money to spend, who's got criminal background and isn't causing any problems, why would they deny me entry, and what is the difficult situation that you're referring to? I'm talking about entering the country in general, not about working here. I live in northern Mexico on the border with Texas, and I enter the US generally 2-3 times a week with no problems.

Thanks for the advice, but I don't have problems getting into the US. I live in Mexico but I'm a Canadian citizen. I got nuthin -
Foreigners working skydiving in the US
lippy replied to lippy's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I'm wondering what is the SOP for foreign people working jumping in the US. I'm thinking of taking a rotational job where I'd have 6 months off a year (5 weeks in/5 out) and I'm thinking that if I do this I'd like to spend my off time in the US on a DZ, get a tandem rating and get the skills to make myself a marketable instructor after I get tired of the rotational job. Is it easy or expensive to get a visa to work as a skydive instructor in the US? Are many of the people who are currently doing this working under the table (obviously not asking for specific examples here). I got nuthin
