  1. I second that emotion. My living room would be lined with Marshall stacks and more axes than I could play in a month. 1st jump August 6, 1977. Last jump July 8, 2006.
  2. Hey, that doesn't make it (us)THAT old! 1st jump August 6, 1977. Last jump July 8, 2006.
  3. My father saw it in Economist magazine way back in the 80's. It still brings a chuckle. 1st jump August 6, 1977. Last jump July 8, 2006.
  4. You decide. 1st jump August 6, 1977. Last jump July 8, 2006.
  5. I dropped out in '06 after 29 straight years of jumping. The day I found myself utterly bored in freefall and under canopy I just faced the fact that skydiving had run its course, went home and never went back. I miss all the fiends I had in the sport, but even on a beautiful spring day I don't wish I was back at the DZ. 1st jump August 6, 1977. Last jump July 8, 2006.
  6. The spot was perfect. The bull slammed into the BBQ pit. 1st jump August 6, 1977. Last jump July 8, 2006.
  7. They know how to do it in Texas. 1st jump August 6, 1977. Last jump July 8, 2006.
  8. I don't get it. Is it any easier than just pulling up a new set of strings by hand as you install them? 1st jump August 6, 1977. Last jump July 8, 2006.
  9. First of all, thank you all for the kind words. I dropped out of the sport last year after 29 years of jumping. Since I'm no longer an insider it's hard to keep up with all the politics, issues and foibles that are fodder for satire. Plus, I'm having trouble understanding why anyone would want to read such tripe. I have seen a tremendous spike in site visits since kschilk posted the message. Maybe I'll leave the site as is until traffic dies down. 1st jump August 6, 1977. Last jump July 8, 2006.
