  1. hows that possible?? good story by the way
  2. Hey Becky, Happy Birthday!!! Be sure to come to Elsinore and get yer free birthday jump. Of course you'll have to wait till next year, now. Shark
  3. You could crush Hillary's sales, too! Let me know when "Booth's Laws" are up on Amazon or in the gear stores.
  4. Well, shit happens. With 12 years in the sport and over 600 jumps is he qualified to jump sub-100 sq. ft. canopy? According to some of the threads he could be. But that's another debate. You are correct, it is a moot point now.
  5. Cool. I think you do understand, but it is interesting that some people appear to be slamming the guy.
  6. After their currency had lapsed, yes. You see, you are assuming. Being an instructor I do not assuming anything. Just because a student has a perfect arch during the dirt dive doesn't mean they will do it in the air. Just because a level 3 student waves off at 5 doesn't mean he's going to pull. I've had one do a PRCP and go back into FF. I docked and pulled. Never assume.
  7. If I were letting someone I didn't know very well jump my equipment and/or canopy I would point out all the features, or at least ask some questions to ascertain what they know and explain any unfamiliar stuff. I do this with AFF students during gear checks, why not to someone who may not be familiar with the latest technology? He was an older jumper, which probably should have raised some red flags. Certainly, I would have felt some level of responsibility on this one. If I let someone drive my car I also explain all the nuances associated with a complex vehicle. I guess the responsibility goes along with that issue, too. You know what they say about assumptions. Glad nobody got injured.
  8. Don't let the greenies see this post. Hey, I don't drive so you'll have to pick me up. Besides, the water isn't warm enough. Can't we just be friends?? I don't hate you...
  9. Rhino, Congratulations to you and Mrs. Rhino. Ooorah! Hope mom (and dad) and baby are doing well. I'll dedicate my first jump tomorrow to you and your family. Shark BTW, what dz.com name did ya pick for the baby??
  10. That's okay. I've talked a student down to a perfect landing, only to find out it wasn't my student! My level 3 student was on another channel and actually had a good pattern and landing.
  11. Okay, maybe my vision is gone but isn't that a radio on your cheststrap?? It was off, right? j/k Congrats!
  12. And our car registrations are going up over $139+ next year, (thank you gov. davis) our weather sucks, housing isn't affordable, and traffic is now a 24/7 phenomena.
  13. ***Any dz.commers want to see a good show? Well youre invited...bring your shades, sunscreen, towel and watch the games begin!!! Man, Im gonna love this... *** Okay, you win. I haven't learned how to surf after 20 years. Mr. Stylin, this is about skydiving. BTW, only kooks go out at Tormouline. Again, check your spelling. Like most other streets in PB (Pacific Beach) they are named after gems and precious stones. But you wouldn't know that being land locked and surf twice a year. If you pick me up at the dropzone I'll go surf with you, but at a much nicer place like Lower's. But then again, you won't. Once again you are correct; you are a waste of time. PS. Don't stay too long at work. Unless you are scamming your company.
  14. ROFL! You didn't know? That's it, you're getting a spanking until your bottom turns pink. OH,shit! I blew his cover! I'm going NOC now.
  15. Okay Mr. Stylin... I'll piss in your direction. First off, I do not hide. You can bring your fatass to SoCal anytime. Yeah, I talk a lot, but I've jumped with people who frequent this website. So, it was only a 15 way rw record, but at least I was on it. You have a long way to go buddy. You are funny though. I bet you cannot name one person here on dz.com who has seen you at a dropzone. BTW, it's "a lot," two fucking words. Learn to spell, then learn to skydive. ...and in case you were wondering, your post was quite entertaining.
  16. Well, after that she DOES jump on the weekends and the occaisional weekday. I've jumped with her. Besides, that's more than your 2 minutes of tandem freefall.
  17. Must have been after I bailed. Happy birdday to ya again!!
  18. Hoser, You need to do some r-dub, and shit. Heck, you used to jump with a gripper suit!!!
  19. you know i have A.D.D., and stuff...
  20. ...and then there's the hottie AFF-I's teaching the FJC.
  21. Hey Lara Croft, Just made a donation from the Shark Fund to both you and Jake. HTH, Shark
  22. that bottle of almond sparkling wine is still on ice....
