    you're such a prick, complaining about a little incident like this.

    Now hold on there sport. We said we're designers...no-one said ANYTHING about being creative.
  5. npgraphicdesign
    I almost swerved in time. You probably skydive as well as that turtle in your AV. (damn, i've lost my skill for truly creative insults...more practice needed!!! )
  6. npgraphicdesign
    Sounds like a pretty sticky issue to me.
  7. npgraphicdesign
    How juvenile...sheesh. As a graphic artist/designer, I approve of this.

    Just put on a jumpsuit and go as a skydiver. If you want to really make it risque, put on a rig. Or get a female companion (g/f, wife, mistress..or better yet all 3!) and go as a group...

    My choices... AC/DC - My favorite band of all time. Love their music, have all their albums, and just pre-ordered the new album that's coming out on October 20th!! Yet, aside from the very unique track titles, most of their music sounds exactly the same. It's as if they simply rearranged a few notes, swapped a few guitar riffs, added a new name, and BAM! new song! Chuck Berry - Same as above. Love his music and the influence he's made on music & future artists, but how about a little variety Chuck? Even Michael J. Fox's version of Johnny B. Goode sounds better then yours What do you listen to and continue to enjoy, even though it sounds exactly the same? Oh and in case anyone is interested, here's the information for the new album. And no I don't work for AC/DC...wish I did though! http://acdc-preorder.shop.musictoday.com/Dept.aspx?cp=14359_14367

    Until you realize that there isn't any practical difference at all between 13000 feet and 130 feet. Well there is a difference. 12870 feet to be exact.

    Huh? This sport is like very few other things. Maybe you are a really bad driver. Maybe he/she drives a drag car as a daily driver. Those have parachutes that help it slow down at the end of the race or maybe he/she does this on the way to work every day... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZyGMKpgyHA

    Let's share some experience and lessons learned throughout your skydiving AFF training. Whether you just started, are a few jumps into it, almost done, or just fresh off your license completion, share what we've learned so far. It might help everyone, and personally I am curious how differently everyone experiences skydiving. My lessons learned so far, in no particular order: 1. Don't expect to pass every jump on your first try. And don't beat yourself up if you don't pass. 2. The radio is your backup only. Assume that there's always a possibility that it might not work, and be mentally/physically prepared to land on your own 3. The nervousness will disappear with time. A great advice that someone gave me at my home DZ: "Remember, although it's extreme, it is a fun sport! So relax, smile, and remember your training." That advice worked on my last jump. So, fellow AFFefers, what have you learned?
  20. npgraphicdesign
    I would recommend learning something else, too. 4. Get back first and THEN play around. Good point. I am learning after all...that's why we don't get our license after only 1 jump, right?
  21. npgraphicdesign
    Your answer is brimming with eloquence and succinctness (yes it's a word.)

    You will be itching to get out that door soon. It's a little euphoric spark now everytime someone yells "DOOR!" and open it up... I always have a big grin on my face, can't wait to get out. Oh I'm itching already believe me. I know it's not a huge deal, but finally passing my B jump (sunday, 3rd try, first two were back in May/June) just gave me such an incredible rush yesterday and today. I'm still thinking about it and can't stop smiling about doing relatively well. Can't wait to go back next weekend for my C/D, and maybe more than that! Weather and money permitting...

    You're lucky. We don't even have a red light in our planes. There's the 'are you ready to go skydiving?' and then the door opens and you get that 'what the f*** am I doing?' feeling

    can I at least have my A license first, or should I just let you push me off of this: http://www.burjdubai.com/

    This is a question more for experienced skydivers, more-so then someone who's just getting into the sport I've gotten the relax hand signal a few times in all my jumps. I think I am the type of person that will always be a bit nervous when doing an extreme activity. I mean, I felt the same way first time I was with a girl, so... But all jokes aside, will the nervousness always be there? Regardless of how experienced you are? And from what I gather, being nervous is good...right? When you relax and think everything is perfect, there is more potential for error..or so it seems.
