Boring to wait for the children's party to be over. I bet they had an orgy in a separate room while they were waiting. 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?

Sure, nothing like a hot, relaxing sauna after the day's jumps. And then this guy whom we all love because of his good quality and fast pack jobs come in with cold water!

Why would I treat the person who controls how my canopy is going to open like crap? Sure, I could kick him around on the ground, but he could spank me at 2.5k'. I don't think that would be a wise move. Let's keep the peace and love. I always said thank you to my packer, and when he left for the season, I thanked him for all the nice, soft openings. But when he ran into the sauna with a hose of icy cold water, then he rightly deserved punishment. I think you've worked in the wrong place. Be nice to your packers and don't date your rigger's wife. But I always pack myself these days. Except the white one. 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?

It's 16km (10 miles) to my job interview today. Should I drive or bike?

Do wear a helmet. A helmet is the difference between a slight concussion and nothing at all if you're knocked over by a car. I know what I'm talking about. 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? -

Advantages and disadvantages. going on bike might make you sweaty, on the other hand it shows initiative and sportyness, important free points in most job interviews. I'd go that distance on bike myself, I like it, because it's fast and no fuss. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER!

No, no, completely wrong! I don't piss you off. 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?

Jump the ugly rig and be proud of it? Is it that bad? 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'd have much grater chance of survival with your parachute than her, on the other hand she might have a pretty good chance if she's staying in the plane. You might have a pretty good chance staying in the plane too. This files under the "ethical dilemmas of being a skydiver". Ouch, tricky one. As for the rest of the Thread, I would advise the original poster not to do what he suggested in the original post. There's a risk of physical violence from other skydivers.

At least your avatar looks pretty cool, and you can use a lot of smileys. That's gotta be worth 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?

You must mean some lame instrumental cover of "Besame mucho". Yuck, that sticks like old chewing gum. 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?

Hide in a corner and cry, of course. Drinking doesn't really help. Skydiving, Excercise and Music helps. 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?

Oh no! The feared "nut under" malfunction! Not as dangerous as a lineover, but very painful! Luckily the risk of that is about zero for me. 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?

There are things that are worse than death, i didn't know that having part of a song stuck in your head was one of them. 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?

A beauty. But this baby's not bad either. Maybe not so much classical beauty, but she has a nice ass. 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?

Electronic junk mail. If I got money (just a couple of cents) for every penis enlargement patch junk mail I got, I'd be a rich woman. 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?

Sure!, only make sure that the music is good, and that the pro pack is incredibly neat. Neat to the point of it opening hard. Pictures of messy pro packs are as ugly as flat frogs on a road. Especially messy line stows: yuck! 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?

Under Canopy through Cumulus Clouds
pinkfairy replied to northcave's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I was very lucky on my tandem jump, my first jump. It didn't look like there was going to be a jump at all, but then a hole in the clouds appeared, and up we went. When we opened at planned altitude, the first thing I saw when I finally concentrated on my surroundings rather than the freefall experience, was a big valley of white clouds. Wow, that was amazing. My very appropriate comment was "Welcome to heaven!", one would expect to see little angels sitting on the clouds and dangling their legs. I got to steer the canopy around the tops of some of the clouds, and touch them with my legs. Even my TM who is a very experienced skydiver and B.A.S.E jumper thought it was great, and it takes something to impress him. So yeah, fantastic. I've tried to find some similar clouds, living in Norway we have a lot of them, but have not succeeded so far. I've had a big cumulus behind me for parts of my freefall, and I was falling along it trying to stay on the edge of it, and that was really cool too. I've fallen through quite pretty things wanting to open, knowing that I couldn't or I would have freefallers in my canopy. And on the jump when I planned to open high I found nothing. I know people who have flown clouds with wingsuit, and that sounds like fantastic fun too. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet.

I hope we get to see your thesis too! It sounds interesting.

Have I just entered a dangerous phase in jumping?
pinkfairy replied to Ruffles's topic in Safety and Training
I don't think you need to be scared shitless (literally) to be a "safe" skydiver, but you do need to keep the respect for it, IMHO. I started pretty fearless on my first jump, had a tree landing that really made me see how serious business this is (if I'd landed in those power lines, I'd probably be dead), and had some "sweat&horror"-filled AFF jumps, until the fear eventually went away, and I started to really enjoy skydiving. Of course you're dangerous, I'm dangerous too, but you seem aware of that fact, so you can do things about it, and that's good. I don't think it's weird that you used to stop being afraid once you were in freefall. Because then you just had to concentrate on it and do the things you had planned to do. In the plane you just sit and do nothing and think of all the things that can go wrong. Congrats on beating the fear! Now the fun begins! But I'm just a 63 jump wonder.

No, no, don't take this seriously. I don't like Mr. Bush personally, and that's beside the point of politics (which belong in the speakers corner anyway). And I sometimes state views as objective, when it should be obvious to most that they're not. There are no objective truths in politics, or taste for that matter. At least that is my view. Too many people claim to speak the truth in politics, when there's certainly more than one way to do things. Maybe I'm making fun of them? maybe i'm just doing it to show that this is my subjective meaning? So please don't take my Bush comments seriously.

Good to see that someone is finally doing something to promote IPv6. everyone knows that IPv4 is hairy like old dacron. Oh, and look what I've got! 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?
