damn that dude went off the deep end if you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell

right on chuck. earlier when I wrote bud in my post responding to you. I did not intend to disrespect or insult you in any way, it just happens to be the way I talk and it typed out that way. I apologize if you took offense to that, much respect dude if you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell

what advice have i given ??? where?? i'm usually in the bonfire acting like a clown with everybody in there. if you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell

LMAO!!! boy I knew that one was coming exactly what in the fuck do my jump numbers have anything to do with anything in this debate?? if you must know though to be perfectly honest I am not sure how many jumps I have, don't really give a fuck either. I have 220 or so in my log book and around 50 or so on my protrack that i haven't transfered, and who knows, who really cares how many I just didn't log because I just don't give a flying fuck about logging jumps sometimes when i'm jumping all day long. I sincerely apologize that I did not update my jump numbers in my profile here, so that I could tell some one they got ripped off guess you gotta have upwards of what do you think, 730 jumps to tell someone they got hit with the super high .."EXTREME" tax. or better yet the "SUCKER PUNCH" tax for 20 extra seconds of freefall I havent updated my numbers because I was unsure, and I didnt wan't to put up an estimate that was inaccurate like 95% of people on here but please let me know how many numbers I need so I can change my profile to reflect. this way I can also have an opinion as a fake ass jumper if you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell

dave and chuck, look fellas i'm completely aware of where the money comes from that keeps the planes in the air for us up jumpers to get our kicks in. it's not my first rodeo, as I am out at the dropzone just about every weekend since I started jumping for the past 2 1/2 years. I have brought in many tandems to make a jump in that time. common practice around here is you get a free jump or discounted jumps for bringing in tandems. I have never cashed in on any such discounts. I pay for my jump tickets as have all the tandems paid for their jump that I have brought in over the years I've already stated that I have no problem with someone paying for a high altitude jump or any other jump for that matter. I completely understand why certain jumps that are more gear intensive, and place more wear on equipment and aircraft are marked up. if someone I know wants to jump or get into jumping I bring them in for a tandem that way they can make their own opinion on whether they may want to continue jumping or not. i'm not just gonna shove a card in their face for a $3500 tandem jump from 30k from a friend of mine who's link is in this thread. if they had an option of a regular tandem to 14-15k or one to 18k for $100 more I would advise them to just go with the regular 14k-15k tandem and save the $100 to a tandem that has never jumped or will only jump once you can tell them they made a free fall from outer fucking space. regardless if they actually did or not, it's all the same. I've never seen the difference in the big smiles and I've seen tandems get out as low as 5k before and still be ecstatic about the experience. of course if you market something somebody is gonna bite for any given reason, there's a sucker born every minute. if either one of you guys brought in a friend acquaintance or whomever that was interested in jumping to do a tandem would you try to squeeze every last dollar out of them, or would you advise them to do a regular altitude jump???? if you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell

exactly...i'm surprised. a yorkie is a small beast if you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell

it is allliiive... if you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell

I' well aware of how capitalism works bud. I'm not hating on anybodys DZ, or trying to wreck anybodys hustle all I'm getting at is that if you are paying those kind of prices for a free fall then you are one retarded, ripped off, sorry ass son of a bitch and you as well as any other jumper knows where the fuck i'm coming from the OP asked.. "did I get ripped off" if he payed $300 for a tandem, I say yes he got fucking ripped off bigtime. I'm surprised that he can even walk, his ass must still be chapped. but if he agreed to that price for whatever reason and got what he paid for. I got no beef with that fuck em if they don't know any better right??? does this not seem to be the concensus on this issue?? is this not the point you are trying to convey to me?? if you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell

whats up bro... yeah ben and them guys are crazy as hell with that. who the hell is gonna give up $3,500 bucks to freeze their sack off for a tandem jump from 30k you can make 20 tandem jumps from 14k for that price. or better, yet you can do an entire AFF course. graduate be jumping on your own and buy a decent used rig and still have money to go to mac donalds for lunch...... if you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell

dude, that is some sick and twisted shit... how the hell do you even get your dick in a yorkie anyway... my dick is bigger than an yorkie for fuck sake if you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell

yeah that shit was pretty stupid. nooooo doubt one of my stupidest moves ever I was leaving snake and jakes(the bunker) from a send off to one of the bros, and took broadway up to the river. I was coming down river road where it turns into magazine st. by the audubon zoo. I had some brand spankin new rubber on my truck. I miss that truck it was my baby had over 8k under the hood. beautiful fucking truck those tires were warm and hooked the fuck up, or so i thought. I wasn't drunk but I had a few shots of liquid courage in me. so i swung around that curve onto magazine upwards of 75mph, and that motherfucker let go on me in the corner just inches past that big ass magnolia tree luckily. I went straight through the front corner of anderson & dabellas, completely through the dining room and the waiters station and all the way into the back of the kitchen. if I would have missed the stove I think that I might have cleared the whole building. well I peeled the airbag off of me, and fell out of the truck. there was tables, chairs, silverware, glass, pots, pans, the kitchen fucking sink, shit was everywhere. it was hard to find my way out of that motherfucker in the dark. I came out of the same hole in the front corner where I went in. was a perfect truck size hole. I was stupefied as fuck, cars were still passing by like nothing happened. I figured nobody saw it, so I just walked up magazine st to the house. at that time I owned a house on 6th street. got to the house and called and reported my truck stolen. by the time the police got to the scene of the accident there was motherfuckers looting the restaurant. the N.O.P.D called me and told me they found my truck , that it was used in a robbery, and it had been driven through a restaurant. the police came to the house I signed the police report the insurance company paid out $13,310 for my truck. that truck was worth at least 2 times that I lost my ass.. the truck was so fucking mangled everybody that saw that truck could not believe that anybody walked away from that crash. I didn't have a scratch on me just a powder burn on each wrist from the airbag deployment. got lucky that I didn't get killed or kill anybody...learned that lesson with just a broken heart that i lost that truck if you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell

its all good bro pink and fushia is your color now...just roll with it if you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell

LMFAO!!! sweet, well that just put the whole thread title and all into perspective if you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell

people pay $450.00 (four hundred and fifty dollars) for 1(one) tandem jump as a passenger/student and then actually go back for more... that has got to be straight out bullshit, nobody can possibly be that stupid. if not then that has got to be some of the sorriest shit i have ever heard of in my life... if you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell

oh, well Kapowsin has a $450 tandem to 18k, but that is the tandem, a video and pics, t shirt, log book, and what not, so id say its priced accordingly. but if it were 300 for just the tandem to 18k, yeah your right. fuck me running!!! $450 for what????? 1 jump, a $2 logbook, a $15 t-shirt, a video that you would probably laugh at then burn if you actually started jumping. what else??? a kick in the balls to boot??? what is the field elevation at k-pow??? and what aircraft are they jumping from?? if you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell

shoulder to the holder welding you buy we fry that ones got a jap flavor to it if you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell

BUWAHHHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! dude youre killing me girlsgoneweld ....WAHAHAHHAHHAAAAA if you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell

absolutely john I agree, give the people what they pay for, that's fair enough but on the same note it kinda rubs me the wrong way. for a tandem passenger that has never jumped before, $100 bucks extra for 20 more seconds of freefall ...they dont know any different they would get the same rush from a 10k jump.. save the $100 throw up a little more and maybe come back for another $300 bucks for a tandem is borderline a criminal act in my opinion if you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell

LOL!! yeah i'm a diver john.. padeyes (for salvage/lifting) anodes for cathodic protection some patches. anything for high pres. or structural we can't gaurantee wet though. welds are nasty underwater too much temperature then rapid cooling.. but we can habitat weld if absolutely necessary for that. we have a large variety of high pressure clamps and flange assemblies that we install for those type repairs. for cutting we use exothermic rods..10,000 degrees leaves a hell of a mark, we can burn through just about anything. when we go hot you get a puddle instantly if you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell

same here in the gulf of mexico bro 100% with x-ray or it doesn't splash we even burn steel with fire underwater too...were gangster like that if you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell

damn john that one made my chocolate milk come out my nose if you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell

right on man. the guys down here just go to school for 5-6months while working for a welding/fab shop. then after they graduate just fit for about a year or so till they break out welding lots of pipe, shipyards, and fab shops down here in Louisiana though...faster pace i guess if you go with that name post a picture of your sign bro, burning steel rocks if you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell

over 17k i would say around 10-15 maybe more.. just the price of a normal jump ticket $22-$25 at my home dz we jump from 14k, 15 and change occasionally same just the price of a normal ticket $22 whats a tandem gonna get from 18k opposed to 12k maybe 20-25 more seconds delay fuck paying $100 bucks extra for that.. but then again tandem students don't know better do they if you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell

last year of school for welding???? what kind of course takes year(s) to learn to weld bud??? how many years have you been in school??? if you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell
