"grew up" being your teen years??? That doesn't work for me cause I split them between Cali and Misery. Of course I claim Cali most. Certain things can still have a profound influence on me even though I'm pretty much grown up. Skymama's #2 stalker -

So ok, my dilemma has been covered in all these posts and i'm still confused. Here is my background. Born in Albaquerque NM, yes that is in the U.S., moved to North Dakota where my mom and dads family are and where they grew up. Then off to sunny so Cal to the middle of the desert Edwards AFB. Off to middle of Misery uhh Missouri after that. Then to gold old Atlanta from there. California is where I identify most with, but Georgia has been taking that over the last coupld of years. Family being from North Dakota also makes me identify with up there. So lately when asked the question I say well I have lived in Georgia the longest but I've lived all over. If asked at the DZ I just assume that means what city. People need to be more specific when asking this question. Skymama's #2 stalker -

Being a military brat this question has confused me for the longest time. Someone asks where are you from? How do I respond to that? Technically I believe where you are from should mean where were you born. However if you move around alot, as I have, then what bearing does that have on the question? I couldn't tell you what my birth city looks like cause I was 2 or 3 when I moved. I most times get where did you go to highschool after said question. Ummm does it matter it wasn't in the state I'm in now and for that matter it included 2 states. I'm gonna start saying i'm from the moon. Don't believe me? Deal with it!! Skymama's #2 stalker -

I have determined you just aren't right man. Skymama's #2 stalker -

ASC did not make mtv true life. Gunnar just jumps there and so they followed him there. Gunnar had a run this summer where he did the mtv thing and then ended up in people magazine somehow. Guess he just has a good publicist. Skymama's #2 stalker -

I thought there was a collegiate two way table of formations. I did a two way comp and that is what we followed. I can't remember what that was called though. edit: I didn't see the poll. I think it is called opposed in the formations I speak of. Skymama's #2 stalker -

Good stuff. One day in bumper to bumper ATL traffic I was leaving a small gap in front of me so that I didn't have to keep pushing the damn clutch in and out a billion times. Well I notice mr impatient behind me wanting to speed up so that inevitably we could stop. I just kept up my own little pace. Then I slipped and left a little larger space than I wanted. Slick behind me whips around the left side of me into the left shoulder and proceeds to try and get around me. I didn't speed up, the traffic in front stopped. He tried to get back in, but I had already taken up my spot behind the car in front of me. He had like one wheel back in the lane. I proceeded to lay on my horn until we started moving again. Thing is I have an air horn installed in my car and that thing is loud as shit. I looked around and people in all the lanes were looking over at his dumb ass. I gave him the finger and left it at that after we started to move. Skymama's #2 stalker -

reply to 2 Don't you know that it is a race everywhere you go. Whatever cars you can pass makes you one more car closer to winning. The ones I love are the ones that fly by you on the way to a red light. Hey dumbass why are you in a hurry to stop. Then as I roll up and the light is changing to green I roll right past them never having to have braked. Skymama's #2 stalker -

Hey where did you get that!!!??? Mom and dad said they had the only copy of that. Skymama's #2 stalker -

All the posts are great. I really have just not been able to have a REAL discussion at the dropzones I've been at. It seems these days when someone graduates off student status it is an immediate race to turn him/her to a particular discipline. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that. I know i've seen people who want to sit who have never flown on their back. People who want to freefly who can't hold a heading doing a front flip/backflip. I don't see it my place to tell someone what they can and can't do in the air though. After all you can fly really crappy and still be safe. On a jump with more experienced people, let them know what you have trouble with so they are aware. I can tell this is a touchy subject. I'm not trying to write concret rules on the subject, just wanting to discuss. Skymama's #2 stalker -

I can't see how this has not been covered before, but I've not seen a discussion on it recently. I'm wondering if the progression from belly flying to freeflying is happening to fast these days. I have an uncle who has been in this sport for over 10 years and the last time I spoke to him we had a discussion on what type of jumps I've done, what I did for my 100th and stuff. I mentioned I did a hybrid for my 100th and that I've been working on sitflying a little. It was his opinion that it was too early for me to start freeflying. I do somewhat agree with him. I know there is much more I can learn on my belly. His concern was that freeflying is much faster and people with low jump numbers are not aware of the difference in fall time and can loose altitude awareness. Of course there are audibles, but isn't that device dependency? If someone starts freeflying with low numbers, will they not become familiar with the less time in freefall? I guess it all depends what you want to achieve in this sport. If you want to do some RW comps then you will stay with the belly longer. If you have no interest in the RW, maybe then you go for the freeflying. I would just like everyones take on it, old and new. Skymama's #2 stalker -
