  1. 3:10:2 3, hours of sleep I had after coming home (4:00 AM) from the DZ and heading of to work again at Made 10 jumps, also did 'a' nightjump (and the second one ever after that:) and also my first (can't avoid using the word twice) 3-way freefly jump, and did 2 4-way RW jumps (second and third one for me:), and a couple of freefly solo's and I'm realy starting to get the hang of landing in the peas. How was your weekend...mine was FREAKIN' GREAT! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  2. http://www.consumptionjunction.com/feat/cc/detail.asp?ID=15964&type=3&page=1 Made me laugh (because I actualy thought about skydiving before I realized it was about sex:) JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  3. I gues they never femured back then because your ankles and knees would slide into each other neatly, absorbing the impact...you wouldn't be able to walk anymore and you'd be 10 cm's shorter...but who cares..:) But seriously...my uncle broke his back under a round 20 years ago (he was an avid jumper), spent a year in the hospital. Still has a f*cked up back now... my uncle> http://www.3dluvr.com/mccordia/fridge/pictures/skydive/uncle_ut15.jpg JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  4. They have the print available here in dutch IKEA's too. My dad came home with is past sunday as a present...don't you just love the man :) JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  5. Made roughly 3 jumps per month the first 1,5 years I started jumping. Since I got my A and my own rig (2 months ago) I've made about 60 jumps :) JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  6. At my home DZ everybody learns to pack from jump #1. There are packing-instructors (I'll be one in a few weeks:) who help students with their first few packjobs, and do checks (there are 5 built in checks in each packjob). That way everyone knows how to pack well (and pretty quick) by the time they reach their A licence. First few packjobs took about 1,5 hours..it takes me about 10/15 minutes now. Our dz just doesn't have packers, so you HAVE to learn if you want to jump :) We had a guest coming in, he had 900 jumps and had never packed his own chute...:) JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  7. Dying a hart-attack at 90 years of age due to some 19 year old bimbo sounds cool :) Although dying during a skydive sounds cool, it will probably result in people saying you f*cked up, unless you do it this way: About 20 years ago we had a guy at our home DZ who suffered a heart attach directly after exit, poeple saw him go limp and tried to reach him, but he went too low. His FXC fired and he came down under his reserve. By the time people got to him he had been lying in the field for about 5 minutes, after being under his chute for about half a minute and over a minute of freefall. They tried to revive him, but no succes...he died 'in the harnass' Sounds like a good way to go JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  8. I've been to the airpower arena a couple of times too, but aside from trying to stay above the fan, there ain't a whole lot more you can do besides some turns. I does help people who have heading-problems...if you can stay in one place in that thing..you can sure stay in one place/heading while in freefall..:) JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  9. There is a tunnel in Huckelhoven, germany (although not a great one if your looking for RW practice) www.air-power-arena.de JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  10. Try going to your local swimmingpool and practice exits from the waterside (30 cm above the water of or even at water level..don't do it from a dive-board or too high up..it hurts:) Your body will automaticly want to reach out to the water to 'break' your fall. Instead of doing this, try to do a DRP and hit the water in a good arch. it will sorta train you to do a dummy without reacting on your bodies instincts JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  11. A long time ago I downloaded a movie from the ftp.skydivingmovies.com. I believe it was an mpeg clip, and it had music from Sublime, and featured olav and omar (if I remember correctly) I was looking for it, but couldn't find it anymore...anyone know where it is...?

  12. I have a grand total of 3 sitfly jumps with a few intentional 360's...but no instructor here...does that mean I have to pay my own jumps...damn..:) JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  13. So...you sponsor jumps for new friends? JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  14. Couldn't resist to also post a name.. Team Vrrroooaarrrr and always bitch about the number of R's O's and A's in there if they write about you :) Teamthe girl strips if you let us win also sounds like a good idea JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  15. Silly me...thinking you'd have to be bold to be a SKINhead... Or you could have blonde hair somewhere else and be bold on top...but lets no go there... It's sorta my motto...if anything can be interpreted in a dirty or stupid way, I'll try hard to make it so! Weekend...I'm staying the whole week...:) Just hoping for some good weather...want to learn and (free/sit)fly better..:) A friend who's in spain says that the weather is okay..cloudy and changing conditions..sometimes bad..sometimes good...but pretty nice in general...lets hope it stays that way (or gets better) Same here...see ya' both in a few days!? ps. me> http://www.3dluvr.com/mccordia/fridge/pictures/skydive/mccordia_sit.jpg JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  16. A blonde skinhead...you have to explain me this one someday :) JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  17. Awesome pictures...but these look like framegrabs from a video...where's the video!!!?? Wanna see...wanna seeeee! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  18. Me too. I'll be there from the 23rd to the 3rd. Say hi I will...I'll be holding a red rose, wearing a white shirt and I'll be waiting for you at the corner.? Just look for a dude with short red (and I mean RED!) hair and a white jumpsuit with yellow/red flames, big chance it'll be me... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  19. I'm also hoping for some good weather...I'll be at Ampuria from sunday 22nd to sunday 29th.... Wanna jump as much as possible.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  20. At one point (if memory serves me right) the guy going in screams 'I'm at 2000 ft' and just continues to freefall for about a minute or so....he sure has to show me how to do that someday... JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  21. I've heard and read a lot about those two skydiving in the past, but anyone know if they still jump (your comment about a repack seems to imply so for cruise) There's a lot of famous folks bragging about 'skydiving', always wondering if they still jump or if it was only a one time kick..

  22. I'm henchmen number 13!!!! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  23. Way of topic... but 11-15 years old 'nowadays' (I sound like an old fart) are doing way more then I was doing at that age. There was a (dutch) research recently on youngsters and sex. While I was a late bloomer at 21 years, these kids are doing things at 13 YEARS!!! that I wouldn't even dare to think of even now......I was still playing with my damn lego at that age (ooh...wait...I still do sometimes). Instead of building a treehouse or catching frogs, playing hide and seek or other stuff I used to do, a lot of young kids between 13 to 16 years old just 'get to together and fuck' as one of the interviewed kids sayd in a newspaper article.. They paper did a couple of interviews (next to the official reseach, done by interviewing a couple of hundred kids) and when asked what they did, a 14 year old boy just responded casualy "you know...playing with each other, a blow job...eating pussy" like he was ordering a happy meal at McD!? Is it just me that's a bit startled by all this... Also has me wondering if these kids (at later age) can see sex as an emotional connection between two people.. JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  24. So I screwed up.....that's what old age is doing to me already.... Or maybe it's just that typing on a 2 monitor setup with porn on the left 21inch screen and dz.com on the right 17 inch screen doesn't realy work out in terms of keeping your attention with the stuff your typing....(lame unbelieveable excuse that's supposed to hide that I'm just a dumb f*ck:) JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
  25. 24 years of age......25 coming april 2003...that's half a century...AAAARGHHHH....kids all of a sudden call me 'mister' and 'sir' when they ask me things....it's freaking scary! JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
