    Color

    pinkfairy replied to gofast_ER's topic in The Bonfire

    Kinda hard colors to match, that. I'd say black with magenta details, as your canopy has magenta in it. Or black with royal blue or jade green details. IMHO it will look better with just two colors. And black goes with everything. It will make it easier to match it to your jumpsuit too. If you keep it simple, it's gotta be good. My friend's got a black Mirage G3 with red pinstripes. Really good looking rig that goes with almost any jumpsuit or canopy. White would match too, but you know what happens to white rigs. Nice color on canopy, BTW, although I'd prefer a little pink in it. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?

    "You light up my life" by Debbie Boone. Audible syrup! Yuck! Well maybe this explains things. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?

    I tried on a Bone Head Guner, that's a half shell with room for two audible altimeters, and whith a special liner that shapes after your head. Really, really comfortable, and shuts out sound very well. If I weren't getting a full face from the same company, I'd get that. They're a little expensive. I like pro-tec, BTW. I'm thinking of getting a half shell from them for when I want to jump with half shell. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet.

    Discussing wingloading without mentioning canopy size is leaving out a vital piece of information to consider in the equation. Because smaller canopies are faster than bigger ones. Even at the same wingloading. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?

    Someone will definetely want it, I know that some paragliders are with sponsor logos, and get sold. You might not get as much money for it as a canopy without a logo or image, or whatever.

    My bad skydiving dreams are more about the plane crashing and everyone dead and blood everywhere. Or there's something wrong with my gear and I can't jump it, and then I can't jump at all, and I'm getting frusttrated. I also had some weird ones in the beginning where I was falling out of a plane, and it wasn't unpleasant at all, it was nice, and I was wondering why I wasn't scared.

    Thats what makes me think total. When you have a high speed mal like a bag lock, you don't look up and wonder "gee, is this a bag lock or a total, or maybe a PCIT?", you pull your handles. It sounds like that was what you did. I think there are other discussions here about if a bag lock would stand you up, and if I remember correctly, that is not always the case. But I have never had a bag lock (yet). Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?

    No it's not about a pretty face. A pretty face is not the only thing it takes to make someone like you, and then maybe become obsessed with you and stalk you. All kinds of people are stalked.

    How did you manage with only one knitting needle? Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?

    Load 13 should be OK as long as you brought your lucky parachute! Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?

    You're mixing two kinds of painkillers without consulting your doctor? You crazy man! Other than that, we should not forget the condoms. Just because we got safely to the ground doesn't mean that danger is over. Actually, most bad things happen on the ground. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet.

    Red, of course. That's the generally accepted one. Edited to add: It can be really smart to use a standard. Don't make it too complicated. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?

    Woollen underwear Warm woollen sweater Some clean t-shirts and underpants Lip balm 1x mascara, lipgloss, eyeshadow (You really don't need more!) Aloe Vera gel (for mosquito bites and sunburn) Rig and stuff. Food that's convenient at your DZ, at mine, there's a barbecue, so food that can be barbecued is always smart. Cash for ice cream in the day and beer in the night. That's all. Depends on how long you're gonna stay.

    Anyway, if you're doing head down on jump #999, it's an evil jump too. And #333 is half evil: you'll probably lose one toggle or something. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?

    I hope beer has been purchased for every single one of these posts. And if someone owes: buy it now, it's not too late! Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?

    Magnolia is a very good reason for excitement!

    No. Not at all. Won't happen. You're still you even if you punch through the air at 120mph from time to time. There are small moments in skydiving too, like the wonderful pink clouds on the sunset load or the nice opening you got from your own pack job. But in the end, you decide if you want to skydive or not. You don't have to. It's normal to be worried, but when i did AFF I was more worried that my parachute wasn't going to open.

    Happy Birthday! 23?

    The beer rules clearly says that two firsts on the same jump means only one case of beer. Glad you found your freebag!

    Have you found yourself a whuffo boyfriend, Andy? You know what this means? Soon he'll start whining that you spend too much time at the DZ. Soon he'll start talking about adopting kids. Sure, it's nice now, but just you wait. Don't say that nobody warned you. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER!

    Or Robert Falcon Scott. Dead proof of that. Not even by contemporary standards very good with food. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?

    Well you have pickled eggs of all things! So that means that some brits actually eat pickled eggs with unpickled herring. Weird! That's backwards! Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?

    I'm gonna miss the B.A.S.E. forum. Sometimes I think I'm crazy and should maybe be locked up to protect myself and society, but when I read posts about jumping from objects, I know that I'm completely normal. But I see the need for more different sub forums. I'm sure B.A.S.E. is just as complex as skydiving. I do hope you all will keep posting in the "jumping from planes" forums even if you get your own forum. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet.
