    Tipping

    DougH replied to KevinCope's topic in Instructors

    You don't need to tip any one! On my only tandem I tipped 20 dollars because I thought they gave me good instruction, and I really enjoyed the way I was treated while there. I also heard a rumor that skydivers love cases of beer... after hours of course. I hope you have a great experince for your first jumps.

    Do you think a skydiving helmet, like a full face bonehead or a Oxygen can provide that protection? You end up in comavill from your brain getting bashed around inside your skull right? I think my bonehead does a great job against protecting me from scrapes and bumps, but I don't really see the padding keeping me from getting a serious injury like a foam bike helmet can.

    Retro SCR... that is something I would buy an airplane ticket to be a part of.

    Late late sunset... the jumps where I break out the strobe, but you can't count it yet as a night jump are my favorite!! Sure there are extra risks: the depth perception changes in the low light but am used to it now, and if something happened they would never find me before dark; but the sky at that time of day, the silence in the dark air, and the calm winds make it all worth it to me.

    Imagine one of those to the bean bag!!! I wasn't being so literal that I meant I just in thunderstorms with huge hail storms, but the warning is definetly noted! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    I will definetly take you up on that offer!!! Hopefully in the not so distant future.

    That isn't a half bad idea! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    That is exactly why I want to get a sewing machine, some classes, and start playing. I got some goofy ideas that would be awesome to play with. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    Jump if you can man (if your instructors deem the conditions jumpable)! Don't give in to all the pussified attitudes about jumping in a little rain, it is totally worth it! No kidding!!! If the conditions are safe to land I jump. Rain, some snow, some ice, some hail. Of course having a double layer jumpsuit for such occasions and a full face helps.

    I need to test it myself too... if I can stop being lazy and send an email. I purchased a new VISO that came out of the package with a cracked back cover. I am pretty confident that they will be a pleasure to deal with. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    I think you just created the next great catch phrase. "Dude, that new canopy is really the flaming shit!" Walt Walt, you ARE the flaming shit, but I suspect soon you will be in shit with some old shit who is mad about you degrading our wonderful language... into a pile of shit.

    Hey hey hey!!! I know how YOU would come up with 6 seconds. No hijacking, I promise, but it is an important question with important lessons. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    I really would like to do some jumps with gear like that. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    The original wrist strap works great when it is winter out and you have a bulky suit and gloves on. I just pinch the excess up in the middle __||__ "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    Believe me, there are plenty out there just like that. Yeah but clue less enough to forget what drop zones she jumped at. Keep me off the fucking plane when this one gets on!!! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    Amature. I don't even act like I am mad at my e-foes. You have to quietly cross borders in a stolen car, leave the cell phone off, and kill them before burning their trailers. Sort of like those toyota commercials, but with death and mayhem. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    I am more subtle... I just asked a bunch of questions that I knew she couldn't anwser... and let her trip all over herself while trying to come up with an anwser. The only thing that made me go hmmmmm was when she got the D license question right. I think it will be hilarious if I find out down the road that she does skydive, but just doesn't have a fucking clue! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    No trader joes by me. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    Still strange to me that they would leave them in the free bag design, but not mention their use in the packing manuals. We just freestowed last repack. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    Funny, my tony suit is going strong for 250 jumps and a couple hours tunnel time now. No wear, except for some dirts and bugs splats from night tunnel time. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    That will learn ya . Out of curiousity, how did you come up with your six seconds of exit seperation? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    Doubtful about the stalker part, I really am? Maybe compulsive lie? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    I doubt it. We don't even live in the same state... and we were close friends in the past. Who knows, maybe she is a skydiver, but some how she managed to get 600 jumps without even knowing the name of her dropzone! I guess I could call her on it and ask to see her log book.

    It is old news... now he not only lands, but he can do touch and goes. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
