Have you jumped for sustained periods of time...
lippy replied to skittles_of_SDC's topic in The Bonfire
When I busted my ass I couldn't lie about how it happened, after the paramedics picked my dumb ass up off the landing area. Luckily my employer's policy doesn't have a 'skydiver clause' for the medical insurance or short term disability. Long-term disability and life insurance aren't covered if anything happens to me involving any type of aviation, unless it's directly related to my job. I got nuthin -
It's fun to mix it up. No two DZ's have the same vibe: they're all a little different, and taking the opportunity to experience as much as you can will give you a better appreciation for all the sport has to offer, and make you a better skydiver in the end. From what little you said about 'Dropzone A', it sounds like they're a tandem mill who resent fun-jumpers. I'm sure it's more complex than that, but I don't have all the details. If you don't go to any other DZ because you're scared of them resenting you for it, you'll end up becoming somebody who only jumps there and resents the other DZ's yourself. Mix it up, see what's out there. It's fun to be a nomad I got nuthin

Germain's article on the recession
lippy replied to zipplewrath's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Hardly any DZs at all that I've been around (in about 22 years in the sport) fit that description. I guess that either you've not spent a lot of those 22 years at smaller dropzones, or that you've not talked to a lot of locals. At DZs all through Canada and the US, and a few in South America, I've been surprised how many people don't realize that they could be skydiving right in their own backyard. Obviously anybody who lives in Eloy knows there's skydiving there, but a lot of Cessna DZs don't have that kind of recognition from the locals. I got nuthin -
Germain's article on the recession
lippy replied to zipplewrath's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
+1 The way I read Germain's article, he's suggesting that we, as skydivers, do more to promote the sport. I read your original post here as saying that we shouldn't promote the sport because we might bring out people who shouldn't be skydiving. WTF kinda attitude is that? How many DZs do you know that are based in small towns, and a lot of the locals don't even know it's there? Let's get the word out that skydiving is here and that it's fun as hell. I don't think anybody's suggesting that we drag these people out to the DZ and force them to get an A license. I got nuthin -
70 hours later and I'm FREAKIN OUT MAN. LIPPY NEEDS TO SUCK ASH!!!! The first two days actually weren't that bad, but today's aweful. I'm definitely not going jumping this weekend, I'm gonna stay away from smoking temptation for now. I've got a Nerf anti-stress ball that helps, but some of my co-workers are getting pissed off that I keep whiffing it at them I got nuthin

I use it all the time to talk to people in North America. It's $.02/minute. I've got bluetooth on my laptop so I can roam free while talking, it's all good I got nuthin

I won't be drinking this week. I'm worried about the DZ next weekend, that'll probably involve some boozing. Next Monday I'm going to Bogota, and beween the anti-smoking laws in bars and the 8500' MSL, I think it'll be pretty easy there. I always feel winded as soon as I get off the plane there, it'd be nice not to have that. How long you been off smokin? I got nuthin

I've got 7 cigarettes left, and a full box of Nicorette. I'm really starting to feel the physical affects of smoking and realize that this shit's gonna kill me, and plan to start tomorrow as a non-smoker. My biggest worry is the DZ next weekend, assuming I make it out. I always smoke like a frick'n chimney at the DZ during the day and during beer-light activities. Who's been here before and how'd you deal with it? I got nuthin

There's one in Argentina that I've advised my co-workers to avoid. Their student program is pretty sketchy, and I'm seriously worried about what's going to happen after they get their hands on a tandem rig. I got nuthin

I'm cleaning up the house and putting together a report for my boss. Really wishing my sinuses weren't plugged. I couldn't justify driving 6 hours to San Marcos when I knew I'd probably make one jump and feel like my head was ready to explode I got nuthin

Take it to the DZ next time you go. I don't think I've seen a DZ that doesn't still have a VCR hidden somewhere, and there's sure to be vidiots with the gear to burn a DVD. Might cost you some beer, but you're moving to a new DZ, you should be bringing beer anyways! I got nuthin
