  1. i aint got nah valentine.. bummer is, 14th of march is running fast.. but anyway, happy valentine to you!
  2. i wouldnt consider myself nowhere near experienced, really.. but one of my best mates, with 11'000+ jumps under his belt and over 15yrs in the sport, once tolde me: you're only as good as your last landing! i'd call him experienced, national champion too, skysurfer, swooper.. he's a pro-skydiver and jumps for a living. that guy broke both his knee-caps long ago, swooping in over the dz, hitting a pole.. went jumping sunday, STRONG winds, windsock was horizontal, and i stood all four of 'em up.. does that make me an awesome canopy pilot or what? and the 1.2-thingy.. well, if our chief gives his ok.. guy was selling his rig, asked me, i took it to the boss.. if there was a 170 around, i would of picked that one. i now jump a 150 sabre1. started out with a balance 230, then a 210, then a 190.. couldnt fly that one for shit, so i went back to the 210, until i got my license. the step down to a 150.. ewww! talking about a pocket rocket for beginners! had plenty of possiblites already to practise flat-turns, break-turns.. i should know enough not to spiral myself into the ground. i'll be happy enough with this canopy for another, couldnt even tell, but lots of jumps.. if i spiral around at altitude.. scary! thats always above 1500ft AGL, i'd like to add.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

  9. first one to the crater gets the best stuff! you know, crashtested, i'm pretty much pushing the envelope already. i jump a wing at 1.2, already have done some WS-ing.. all with one or the others instructors amen to it. actually the canopy was recommended to me by our chief-instructor. i wanted to get a 170 actually. but you my friend.. i dont want to jump on the bandwagon really. but you my friend are very much likely to fuck yourself up! and i'm not sure how much fun you'll have with the nurses when you're in a wheelchair or worse. last year i witnessed a guy, somewhere around 300 jumps swooping in. he's never done it before, had no training. not a tiny canopy, but not a huge one either. well, i sat next to impact. about 60ft away. i did not only hear the awful "thump", but literally felt the earth shake. if he'd hit the compressed part of our grass runway.. well, different outcome. broken neck, broken femur.. and a GF that aborted her holidays because of this. he did get some morphium tough, but i dont know if that was worth it.. his recover-arch made him miss the right altitude by only a couple of feet.. mostly everybody at our dropzone jumps with two audibles, digital altimeters and what not. didnt help. nice guy, got completely shitfaced with him at our boogie. i wouldnt wanted to have seen him dead. he's happy he can still walk and move all his limbs! happened on our national day, plenty of people at the dropzone, the good thing was, half the people left after the incident. more space on the plane!!! cops there, confiscating his gear n'everything.. not pretty! and actually, i've decided to wait with all this WS-stuff. see above, jarno, probably a worldclass pilot, offered to take me with him. how cool is that? one of the reasons being, i assume, that i finally "gave in". i havent given up tough! listening to more experienced people is NOT a sign of weakness, but quite the opposite. and believe me, i would kill for more WS. but i figure, well, i wont if i kill myself before that. somehow, being dead takes all the fun out of skydiving. that sucks. i also figured, i have different tasks to work on. like stand ups. looks pretty silly if you come in with wingsuit n'all, and fucking buttslide it.. take a step back, work with what you got! edited to add some more details “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

  10. but for a change.. this sunday i did some h n'p's, in order to get my landings dialed in. people were asking me if i started to get into swooping!? still on an altitude an aff would be required to pull, couple of seconds after you've left the plane, in whatever position, is kinda fun! only did it to re-assure myself of what i was being able to do. going pretty fast on higher loaded wings, is sometimes scary. it worked, i'm resting assured, i can do it!
  11. doesnt work for me, but hey, the way he might look like, that might be one of my good days.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

  17. as you, i visited my grandma quite often when she was in rehab. and when she was most likely to die. she eventually did, but only seeing the sparks in her eyes when i turned up, made up for the pain i felt that she "slipped away". go on girl, you're doing the right thing, and you'll feel better about it when all the grieving's done.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

  19. so did i, just got disappointed at the time where i found out that the web-version of the game was better supported. and that i was being offended by some, well, not such a nice guy.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  20. You need to travel more.. everything costs less in the third world i'll keep that in mind for when i get really desperate.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  21. sorry to hear about that.. hope all goes well for your family! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  22. i've had a rather unpleasant encounter when i wrote to their support, just to express my disappointment with the game. the web-edition of the game has got more features n'all. i did buy it in the store. to make a long story short, i've wrote a nice mail, reply was "go fuck yourself". really cool to treat a customer like that. DO NOT BUY IT!!! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  23. well, pretty shitty.. got out at 4500, thought i was stable, but pulled on my back. PC came out inbetween my legs.. i did think i was gonna die, or some other bad shit.. turned around, all ok.. here its a requirement for the license, i did wait another couple of jumps for the next one tough.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

  24. dang, even the crack-whores around here charge more, even for a BJ.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
