mind me showing how much you suck?! What you need, young man, is a jump. --- you're so right with that.. aff starts in may here.. when i've done that, can we talk about the other? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

Sorry, but IMO, with that attitude, you're not being as safe as you can possibly be. If you really don't care, does that mean if you're having a spinning malfunction and you're having a hard time cutting away because of the G force, are you going to give up, cause you "wouldn't care really" if you go in? Just a thought. not that i've been there exactly, but i had other life-threatening situations to handle.. believe me, i did everything i could to stay safe.. and if i didnt, i wouldnt be here, highspeed-accidents, around 120km'h, (avoided) included! again, if EVERYthing would go wrong.. i am trying to be as safe as i possibly can be.. i came upon lifethreatening situations some times.. not only druggies going for my wallet, being a "target" on shooting grounds in service, traffic, rockclimbing.. name it, been there, done that.. but if it was the time.. i'll definitely be ready.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

nor is it on mine, but to be honest, somehow i wouldnt care really.. i try to be as safe as possible, but if everything would go wrong.. well, so be 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

thanks for the hints!!! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

as an "alcoholic to be", whats all the reasons to buy beer for everyone else anyway? and what was this "S-D-F" again? something along the line of one asking: "what do you love to do?" (Skydive-Drink-Fuck) “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

so, to get back to the original question, how would YOU describe the mind-set you're in? and what makes you skydiving? for me it'd be living on the edge! and putting my life "at risk" every weekend again.. which i do already, but anyway.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

Are you on drugs? i wish i was, check out the second pic mate.. to be honest, i was pretty wasted when i wrote that.. i simply LOVE whisky-cola.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

c'est pas mal, je parle un peu de français aussi.. nous sommes tous suisses, on a déja quatre langues officielles.. mon anglais est très bien, je parle et comprends le français aussi bien, et je comprends l'italienne aussi.. friggin' russians.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

mind me showing how much you suck?! in your case i expect about an inch and a half. in YOUR case, you're wrong by about seven.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

chasch denn schwyzerdütsch? du schinsch jo än ami odr so z'sii.. wänigschtens em name no.. you didnt answer my questions regarding the girls tough.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

hey fish! i actually did some research on freefly.ch, there were the links to the flying cows (for those interested: http://www.epco.aero/fr/films.htm ), initially i thought that you actually were päscu! i think,i decided i'll do my aaf in beromünster. its pretty much the closest DZ to baden, and yes, the scenery there is just wonderful.. also, i dont think its a bad idea to have some kind of "home base", if i'd ever happen to have questions, and i am sure i will, to have people "at your fingertips" that can help you out, know how you're jumping and such.. and if i ever happen to wanting to have a beer with some crazy folks, i dont have to fly 8'000km in order to get it too.. päscu is a crazy man, isnt he? that mountain-swooping pretty much looked like some of the crazier stuff i happened to come along.. just WOW!!! and he seems to be a good laugh too.. all those pretty girls, any chances one of them becoming my instructor? two would be better tough.. EDIT: i wont forget you nic, you'll get a free jump on me.. just read up on paraclub.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

???? that's the "Clay approach", he scored the most beautiful sheep. Worldwide “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

I'd recommend mushrooms. been there, done that, too much hassle with authorities if you happen to cross their ways "flying"..

actually, i am quite obsessed with words.. i dont only love reading, but also love writing.. then words become quite lethal.. i am on my first novel.. maybe one day it will be published?! of course, you friendly folks will be some of the first to know and hear about it.. i have friends that tell me to get into journalism.. i have a friend (american) with a masters degree in english literature. she tells me i could (probably almost) do this in english.. i love writing, i love reading, i love words.. i love the blue skies.. the sun, the earth, and mostly all creatures, including myself in it.. and i love shitloads of whiskies, plus coca-cola, just mentioning it if my posts dont make any sense.. i had plenty from all of them today, so excuse any nonsense i might be posting from now on.. actually, i hardly feel my fingers touching the keypad right now.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

thanks for that post man, i feel with your friends that have gone.. well, i believe, it should be a persons faith, or aims in live, to become an even better person.. wether thats through skydiving or other things.. such as religons, guns or politics.. but as seflish as i am, i belive skydiving for me would just do the job.. if i die while trying to maintain this.. so it may be.. karma has things waiting for us, we would never expect.. like myself, i had to appointments for jobs.. one i would have loeve to do, the other still okay. but at the company where the woman of my lifetime would work.. and that refuses to see me. guess what: the first company, after saying ok, i could start there, all of a sudden would refuse.. now i am left with the lesser preferred job, but with the ex-gf that refuses to talk to me.. life is a bitch sometime.. “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-way?!? i just read all through the glossary, but that didnt turn up.. MY BAAAAD!!! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

the SKYGOD in my intention was rather supposed to be ironic or the like, and to describe what i would feel if i've seen any video-footage.. like the "flying cows" from switzerland.. DAYUM!!! i dont care about being expensive.. really! i've just inherited some money that wants to be spend.. thanks mate for "being the skydiver-type".. i never really felt as being part of anything in my life, there were only very rare exceptions to that "rule".. for bein not save, if i only took my sexual adventures.. PHEEW, most of those were feckin'unsafe.. but they wre fun none-the-least as well.. but worth every one of them too!!! and you're right, I WANT TOO.. today, weather fantastic, about 15° centigrade, no winds, no clouds, but i doubt the prefered DZ of my choice would already have traffic.. damn, in switzerland is almost thirty(!!!) DZ's.. but i choose the one where the producer of those "flying cows" is at home base.. piisfish, you hear me?!? and its pretty much the closest too.. but prices are WAY over BLUE SKIES!!! should i do it in the US still? oh yes, amen AMEN LORD, YESSS, AMEN!!! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

well, i was diagnosed with ADHD myself, also cause for the mental-shit i mentioned beforehand.. it seems, skydiving is the most appropriate sport for me then.. you'll hear everything about my progress, promised!! how about if i do my license here. is this recognized in the US? as i would have more time here to do so.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

well, somehow that made me laugh a lot.. i dont want to become a skygod really, but i want to have a thing that makes my life living worth for.. i have quite a lot of hobbies, but none really could have such a grab on me as skydiving i' imagine it would be.. as mentioned by someone earlier, very short attention-span.. but very devoted in the time being.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

i am swiss, please explain what a "woofo" is?! thanks, kisses and hugs in advance!!! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

i'll get that done now!!! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

believe me, i did, i tried a lot, all sorts of medication, all sorts of psychologists, all sorts of psychatrists.. they dont do it. at the bottomline, its only YOU that can make a difference.. but somehow, i havent found it yet.. probably i am just one of those generation-X'ers that has too many options.. remember kafka or nietzsche, altough recognized as geniouses of our time, they all went completely mad after some time.. well, maybe that was just due to the fact that skydiving, nor flying, was invented at the time.. i am sure they would have had fun with it.. and became SKYGODS!!! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

so, you friendly folks have cleared my mind already.. now, i might put up the next question: here in switzerland, aaf-courses run about 2'000.- $, and altough i never wanted to visit the US, i am considering it for burning man.. now, since i'll be there anyway, i've seen courses run around half the price.. so, should i spend two more weeks in southern california, like perris if i got that right, since the guy giving me a ride to nevada is from there, to do my student-falls there? how will this work with the swiss-laws, if i get an a-licence in the US, am i allowed to do anymore freefalls in good ole'sissyland to progress to become a skydiving-freeflyer here? EDIT: the beginning of my post was to be intended to say kind' of thing i was pretty a sporty person, picking things up quite fast, i dont have any masters degrees, but i am working on them.. so, i am not stoopid, i know my body, and i know how to use it.. will these two extra weeks be enough to get an a-licence? also, english is not my first language, but if you'd hear me talking, you'd never suspect me to be SWISS-german speaking as my mothers tongue.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
