and you'll never be able to topple me as the king of the assholes! like i've said, i make my living being a prick.

MAN OH MAN yewz guyz need to lighten up! you would think that skydivers would have a sense of humor. the full contact rw comment was a JOKE. listen, i love ALL skydivers (smooch) and i just started this thread to stir up trouble. and what a ride it has been! why are skydivers so sensitive to being picked on and poked fun at? i love everyone at my dz, i pick on them and they pick on me. every once in awhile someone gets pissed, but they always forgive me! i suck at hrw so i like to pick on the bellyflyers who can't (or won't) freefly. maybe i'm just a trouble maker OR i just want people to quit taking themselves so seriously. find your happy place, boys! xoxox yim

why yas suh, us dumb southernahs, weez gots to tell ouwah stowries! just because you failed to understand what i was communicating doesn't mean my story has changed, silly boy. and maybe i'm sick, but i would love to be able to bust up a round by creating a burble beneath them while in a sit. full contact rw! woohoo! if you can track in a sit fast enough to stay vertically relative to a round, den youzz da man! i lost tons of altitude just trying to get there. i guess when i become a sky-god, i'll be able to do it too! and i don't wanna drop it, thank you, cuz i love arguing (in fact, i do it for a living!). nah nah nah nah nah!

dude, i would have to be olav to be good enough to throw out a sit behind a round, track to them and get right beneath them. if i could only fly as well as skybytch gave me credit for... and no matter what you SAY there is no way a 3way round could possibly be falling as fast as a sitflyer, even in a double winged, slow as hell sit suit (which i neither have nor desire!). as far as the burble stuff, i would be having to throw out one massive tube of air to vacuum a 3 way round! and if it happened, they should be grateful for the increase of speeeeeed i would bestow upon them! there's really no "attitude" here towards bellyflyers, just a general intolerance of stupidity.

exactly, my brother! apparantly the laws of physics are suspended and operate differently at skybytch's doozoo!

your handle is appropriate - know the facts before you start spewing hate, skybytch! i didn't "steal their air" nor did i pose a corking hazard since we had about a 1,000 feet of vertical separation when i slid beneath them. apparantly you don't know much about corking if you think a sitflyer is going to cork through an rw formation! belly is the SLOWEST form of flying and there's NO WAY i could cork up into them even if i was right beneath them. and none of them even knew that i was beneath them until they broke off because they were too busy doing their hrw flail. maybe you should take your prozac before logging on and posting!

i'm totally with you on the hybrid dives idea - one of the most memorable dives i've ever done was at a big dz with my buds, we threw out a 3way round and took turns taking chest straps of the other 2 and kicking into a stand below them. another great one was diving out after a guy who does rw but falls like a ton of bricks and doing a heads down/stand/sitfly combo to catch him. i just wish i could convince the other rw folks into trying hybrids. they just look at me like i'm crazy. i've even been on a load with 3 belly flyers (our cessna only holds four yumpers) and when i told 'em i was gonna work on my sit, the most experienced guy said "well, just stay away from us!" like i was going to pose some unspoken danger! ever the rebel, i disobeyed him, threw out a sit behind them, slid underneath their round, and back flew, watching them flail around, making only 2 points. hehe! on the ground they all copped an attitude towards me for sliding beneath them! i mean, c'mon!

ok all you cobalt enthusiasts, time to sound off! i'm considering a cobalt and i would like all the info i can acquire prior to purchase. i'm primarily a freeflyer who occasionally has the go-lows. i wanna know if you can dump in a sit and stand, just in case i have to. also, i want feedback on ease of packing, packing tips (i just requested a demo) length of snivel (again, go-low concerns), best harness for a cobalt and/or freeflying, opening characteristics when doing hrw ie slow rate of travel, wing loading (i'm 200+ with gear, considering a 170) etc., etc.

thanks for your input. i sent in my demo request today. thanks again yim666 "i sit, therefore, i am"

what's the skinny? i'm primarily a freeflyer who yumps a saber, and i'm interested in cobalt's 2 stage deployment system. can you dump in a sit or stand? and how does it react if you're just doing a belly load? is it worth the $? how long does it snivel? (i often have a case of the go-lows) do they pack easily? i weigh 200+ with gear - what can i safely wing load? how do they land ie do you have to amp them in or can you float them? all responses are appreciated.

yippee! what a great response to just my 2nd post! some positive, some negative, but whatever... most of the responses thought i was just slammin' bellyflyers (which i am guilty of on occasion) but i was just really blowin' steam cuz it's hard to get a freefly load together at my doozoo. the advice about being willing to do horizontal stuff was well taken... i probably alienated a few of the belly boys and girls cuz i was always calling hrw that "faggot RW shit!" but i really was just teasing them. oh well, screw 'em if they can't take a joke. the advice about finding another dz wasn't very good, seeing that i live in west texas and the closest large dz is about 5 1/2 hours away. sure, we road trip on occasion, but there's no way to do it every weekend so sometimes i just gotta suck it up and jump our crappy little cessnas. oh, well. in particular, i WAS NOT slamming the old school rw folks cuz i understand that they are OLD but i was slamming the young bellyflyers at my doozoo who are completely UNWILLING to attempt anything but hrw. many of you who responded said that you do BOTH and feel that one enhances the other. i don't understand why these young, able bodied people simply refuse to learn a new way of flying. remember, hrw itself is fairly young, and the really "old school" skydivers once believed that doing anything other than solo dives was insane! and i do want to learn to fly well horizontally, but i'm more interested in the vertical right now. i just wish i could find more local folks to jump with cuz it's hard to get better if you don't have anyone to try to stay relative with. if it wasn't for hotload, i would be doing all my dives solo or, god forbid, bellyflying. yim "i sit, therefore, i am"

what's up with all these belly flyers? at my home dz it's hard to even get on a load unless you wanna do rw. and it's almost impossible to convert any old time belly flyers over to freefly. i mean, they won't even give it a try. are you belly flyers scared of the higher speed or just scared you can't do heads down? i can't even convince the wimps into trying hybrid dives. those of us who wanna freefly are treated like the dz black sheep. when are you belly flyers gonna learn that vrw is the wave of the future? "I sit, therefore, I am". yim666

why the hell do u care? u must have very little to do...

why not? doesn't a 180 hook at 60 feet, landing so hard on his ass that he shits his drawers, qualify as a hook turn whoredog?

Heath Haley is a hook turn whore!
