  1. My condolences than Jan...must feel like even more of an ass rape....... what a bunch of twats!!
  2. I don't know much about skyride, only that a lot of people in the us have the opinion that they are a bunch of cunts.... couple of questions 1.Why in gods name does any dropzone still have dealings with this company. 2.If it is a financhel reason than skyride must be giving somthing to some dz's in some places, are they completly bad in tht case? 3.If they do not really offer a good financhel incentive, and are not good to the image of the sport, than would it not be better to campaign to the skydivers to stop using the local dropzones untill the dz owners stop using Skyride as a means of booking tandems etc... As a point i think it is bullshit that Jan has lost her freedom of speech through this process, shame on you law courts of america.....and a bit of the uspa
  3. Apologie excepted.... i'm not one to bare grudges... As for the next stunt, i'm sure the diving world will not be so impressed, but we are who we are and do what we do, and at the end of my day i have a massive smile on my face, its not like i'm shagging prostitutes dressed up as SS officers (for the americans this would by Max mosley) or locking my kids in underground prisons, or going to school and shooting anyone who looked at me funny!! It's nice that you care about me, but really if something does go horribly worng, you can be safe in the knowledge i was doing something i really really loved.
  4. Nw this i thought was quite funny, correct me if i'm wrong, but the americans celebrate independance day on the day it went to the printers. Not the day it was written and dated?? It was declared 2 days earlier but the printers were not open!! Is this true or am i having my leg pulled??
  5. To come back to the point... I would hope most people would not mind what president you get, as long as your economy takes an upturn and your housing market becomes slightly (by slightly i mean a lot cause its fucked) more stable. The black thing is an issue for a lot of people, not due to race but due to inherant fears of somthing different, be it a black / hispanic / women/ etc president, Or women working in industry, or a million other times in history when someone has brought change to a country. If he is voted in and your economy has an upturn his colour will be forgotten fairly quickly, the problem is very few of your presidents have acted on behalf on the commen populus. More on larger ssues which due to the size of your country will remain popular in some quaters and deeply unpopular in others. Best idea reduce fuel prices and decrease lower band tax's (low earners). 85% of your country is happy. the 15% who funded the campaigns withdraw there surport though, leaving the president in a lot of bother... (I would go into it in more depth but i think you may get my point)
  6. Same in the uk, most of the inhouse bigotry (is that how you spell it?) comes from white conservative upper class toffs. They will still have manners though as above and more. but inheantly are fuck wits who are as inbread as they come.
  7. I think these were some good ideas... liberal or not. Maybe not the saudi one, that was to far.. But the not eating so much.. and the MPG. both valid points. I hear that in the us you already charge bigger people more money if they take up 2 seats on airplanes....
  8. Maybe Americans as a nation could start eating less... the faa might let you put more people in your planes.. droping the price by a persons worth or to in a porter you could save $2 each. Or you could start getting more fuel efficent cars saving money driving to the dz.. Or you could so for saudi next time rather then iraq.. they have loadsssss of oil. :P I think i like the first idea best...
  9. Mark harris is a tough guy... He wanted a 14 stone chair,
  10. I'll post the full on version when its done... As with the light thing.. best of a bad situation I like jello, as long as thats like jelly
  11. 28 and i am invincible!!!! I've broken enough to know better....funnily most bones except my femurs (thankfully as i have seen a few broken ones on others) BUt yes people should go at there own pace, and definetly not endanger other people, and listen to those who know better. I have said simular things to bikers, boarders and the like, and they have not listened and then seen them broken or dead, i understand your point. Thanks for your concern, but i'll be just fine.
  12. Just to clarify! As far as i know, you were not on this jump and as for the shaving, you might want to admit the fact that no one is stupid enough to use a razor with a blade in it! What kind of razor do you use then... a razor without a blade that is pretty dumb... maybe thats why you have a tash If you look at the start of the clip you'll see me.. i'm the guy in the blue who meets with andy, and hands over the razor and shaving gel to him, ask bryn for the clip, as he shot it.. but you must know that I'll pm the rest to you
  13. School boy error.. I take it your another one of the top gun guys... I'm still awaiting a time to come out with you... must buy wingsuit... and learn to fly.. End of the year i'll be ready for the eiger
  14. as could be said with anything anyone ever does..... If your honest with yourself and your friends you'll let them know what antics you get up to and that you do risk your body in these things.. I may be called selfish in what i do.. but its my life and i will live it how i feel apropriate... it may offend you.. but i will not hold myslef back to avoid offending people who don't know a thing about me. My parents are ready for the mop up, in the worst case senario.. and they are pleased (sometimes worried though, don't get me or them worng) that i am making the most out of it.. I have a limited time left on this planet, so I will push fwd with the things i enjoy.. b4 the bug takes hold
  15. Wtf is a cubicle jockey anyway... is it like a knob jockey :)
  16. Learnt to swim yet dough??? End of august for the next instalment...
  17. the chair weighed in at 4 stone... which is about 30lbs i think.... we had a base on before hand but it proved to be to dangerous due to air resistance... The shot was actually made in one shoot.. which looked awsome.. but We did another just so the editing guys had more to work with..... it was teathered to mark harris (birdmantopgun.co.uk), who did an awsome job as a primary as sorts, he lost his balls in the first shoot due to not having a jock stap on.... The chair also had a round reserve and add fitted just in case, with ground crew and 2 other skydivers who pulled higher in case we had a floater, so we could follow it down and make the area safe of walkers etc and cars.... A lot of people put alot of work into this.... and the video is dedicated to Marks dad... who got ill just b4 filming and passed away a couple of weeks after.. So when you next have a glass please raise it to Paul Harris who will be missed by friends and family... This ones for you :)
  18. thanks..... The beard came off in free fall testing unfortuntuly.... and he looked to much like osma bin laden, we had f15's trying to shoot us down
  19. Here is the first cut of our little promotional video for KOS, hope you enjoy it..... http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=18592660755
  20. OK here's the link for the rough cut of our little movie piece we did in spain... Thanks to everyone for the hard work... you know i know and others know who you are... http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=18592660755
  21. thanks for the advice guys, yeah... my loaded canopy, errrrr... i don't know what to say really.... errrr.....i remember now, You've never seen me under canopy so you really don't have a clue about whether its apropriate or not for me!!!! I've now Jumped at Deland, lilo, chatiris, hinton, langer, ocana, sibson, headcorn, royan. Do you really think (really think about it) that during my kit and doc check that i would be allowed to jump at these places, if the CCI's or riggers had concerns whilst seeing my log book and "canopy of death" (drum roll) Nope no problem there... It could have somthing to do with attending lots of canopy contol courses.. quite possibly... i would imagine.. maybe...surley or it could be that they want me to die!!!! cause that really raises the profile of a dz
  22. i thought he was only going to be in free fall for 15 mins, not the 16 mins they managed in the film. Truley xtreme
