  1. poor lad.. at least now his family can have closure. my condolences to the ones left behind! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  2. that's a comfortably LONG reserve-ride.. but comparable! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  3. here, usually 200 jumps are recommended and enforced.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  4. a buddy of mine did something similar, only at about 1000ft; resulted in a REALLY low cutaway, about a 3 second reserve-ride and a tree-landing. as if that wasnt enough, he climbed out of the harness and down the tree and walked away. he came back to the dz, took off his jumpsuit, got dressed and went home. next day he returned to retrieve his rig. i would not recommend such maneuvres if you dont know the fuck what you're doing.. no stall of what-so-ever-sort, but a goat-fuck stupid thing to do.. just sayin'! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  5. actually, because of your thread i started rolling my own.. and i'm already saving about 3/4 of the money i spent on smokes.. not really quitting, but eventually, i'll get there! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  6. the article is actually about rescue-pilots being blinded.. how goat-fucking stupid does one need to be to do THAT!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  7. oh, and i'm getting my advice rather from the guy with 15k+ at my dz.. why do you feel the need to clutter up this thread!? got a boring life!? maybe jump a bit more!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

  9. do i have to justify myself on here!? hello!? look at posts like this from that guy and tell me again!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  10. you're not even a 100-jump-jockey, and apparently dont give a rats ass about aquiring a B-license, why should i talk to YOU!? oh, i know, you're an expert-skydiver too! learned it all from dz.com too, havent you!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  11. reread what i just edited. and the topic AT HAND is if you would like to contribute something to sangi. ******* *****! and you still havent told us your jumpnumbers; ignorance is bliss and avoidance is a bitch, ey!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  12. i'll just do it like you, and wont mention my jumpnumbers, nor my exit-weight.. talking about avoidance, oh, the irony! edited for spelling and sarcasm If you had looked just a little harder at my profile instead of getting target-fixated by your attempt to craft a perfect comeback you may have noticed that my wingloading is in fact listed. oh yea, of course, i'm taking screen-shots of every douchebags profile i look at. still forgot to add your jumpnumbers tough, you updated your profile just NOW. you even list "canopy piloting" in your interests, forgot to edit that one too!? or is "canopy piloting" pulling toggles and doing a standard-pattern in your opinion!? you probably dont even have a clue what a "base" is. i also noted that you jump in colorado; should be pretty high there, right!? so we can deduct a size or even two of your canopy, assuming it's two sizes, that would be a 139, that would equal a WL of 1.32. at your experience-level, i would really advise you to upsize quite a bit! i've said it before and will say it again; go create your own little thread if you want to talk about me and stop cluttering up this one. or isnt that retarded enough for you!? do you have something to contribute for sangi, you expert skydiver!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  14. anyone else wants to contribute in the form of junk-food or (skydiving-related) books!? hit me up for his adress! “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. you get to hear the equivalent of "retarded" in switzerland too, since my school-days.. but it's not a word you'd throw in twice per sentence. “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. gosh, i'm nervous! i wrote them a nice, lengthy email saying how much i appreciated the interesting interview, how i got some insight into a world that "joe average" doesnt get to see, how they removed some preconceptions i've had, their time, how i liked the social aspects of the job and what not. i have also said i would really like to do a "training day" just to see what it REALLY includes.. and how i hoped that they've had the same good impression me as i have had of them and their institution. that would be REALLY cool to get it!
  24. yea, i noticed; it wont run away, will 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
