Possibly moving to Orlando, where can I jump?
Tuna-Salad replied to chrismgtis's topic in Events & Places to Jump
I didn't really pay much attention to the page.. figured something was wrong when there was no mention of the type of aircraft. So now I wonder if the palm pavillion is tied in with them somehow since the commercial shows people swooping the beach. Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night. -
After our all knowing friend aardvarkeater pointed out that I was all wrong.. I think I might just try to get a refund for my A+ and have him teach me the ways of the force since I obviously got ripped off and didn't learn anything.

Your HD has over heated at some point and now the platter inside has warped and is hitting the case of the drive. Back up the data... you don't have much time.. Just to be sure.. the clicking noise sounds like a floppy being opened in the drive? - I would also like to add.. if the drive dies .. put it into a freezer for about 5 minutes and put it back in the PC.. it won't work long, but will enough to drag over a few final files.

alrighty i will start putting cash away and make it to a wind tunnel ..or a coach.. or both Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night. -
it does affect me when some chode 10 feet away from me could just tell me what they are texting instead of running up my phone bill and sending me retarded pictures... yeah what the fuck.. let me send you a bunch of meaningless messages and see if it it affects you. what the hell.. since its no big deal.. post your number here and we will all text you at the same time. Sure someone texting while driving thru a congested intersection doesnt affect me until thier sorry ass buries the front of their car in my drivers door.

Possibly moving to Orlando, where can I jump?
Tuna-Salad replied to chrismgtis's topic in Events & Places to Jump
yeah this is the one i was asking about.. is this another skyride? there is a commercial for palm pavillion in clearwater and shows jumpers landing on the beach. Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night. -
What I really want to know is... Is the choice to butt land just something you do on every skydive with a tandem... or is the choice to stand up or slide in determined by how well your passenger takes the whole experience / weather. In short.. is the choice made before the skydive or on the way down? Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.

$1.50 at happyhour or half off for anything I just do not get the point of going to have a beer that costs $2.00 or whatever to sit on your ass and text when you can go home and do the same thing for $1.00 a beer or less. As someone pointed out that it's easier to tell someone they are a cock smith on text. Seriously it's a problem when you text someone 10 feet away from you though. Now I get texts from people I haven't heard from in ages simply because I am on their contact list. The standard reply is.. "who the fuck are you, do you have beer and am I going to get laid if i reply?" Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.

Tuna-Salad replied to Tuna-Salad's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I have a tonysuit swoop suit that is very baggy. I'm 250 even out the door and have an average fall rate of 137 mph. (the natural arch coupled with actually arching cannot be good) I can say confidently that my exits are near perfect.. during my first 50 jumps I stressed heavily on my exits being bad and spinning etc.. Now I'm able to look at the group before me and turn myself around to look at the group behind me still on the plane while on the hill. (in short I have directional control on the hill and I hear that is good) The problem is - I'm jumping with someone that.. to be honest has no idea what he is doing and does not help much during 2 way RW dives.... based on video I've seen.. he goes out.. gets stable and just falls.. it is up to me to get to him. (Or it feels that way) I am posting a video here.. some of you may of seen. I'm wearing the blue / black jumpsuit.. so you have an idea of my body position and the person I've done most of my jumps with. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yKHipRYr8U Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night. -
youre an idiot.....as you seem to think youre a jumper now - How many jumps is it now before someone is considered a skydiver? When I finished AFF I considered myself a skydiver but guess I was wrong. Is there a specific number in the sim? Can this be confirmed?

Thank you for putting what I said in an earlier post into better words.. "because we can't get 4 legs to run" 70 jumps and I've seen maybe 5 tandems land for every jump. If I were a tandem master (I'm far from it) The equipment isn't mine.. I would not care about wear and tear on the gear when safety is the primary concern. If it comes down to me trying to stand up a landing and running over the student / cargo (whatever you guys call them) I would rather slide in on my butt. 2 legs is enough to fuck you up.. why add another set?

Why the fuck do people go pay $2.50 for a beer to sit at the bar and send text messages? WTF did people do before cell phones? I go to a party with a co-worker and everyone is on their damn cell phones sending texts.. seriously.. what the fuck... Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.

Coolest Lego model you'll see in the next 30 seconds
Tuna-Salad replied to AggieDave's topic in The Bonfire
Nothing wrong with legos heh.. I saw a website a year or so ago with a guy that built a 27 foot crawler crane that could lift 60 pounds. If they weren't so expensive I would be getting loads of the technic types. Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night. -

Tuna-Salad replied to Tuna-Salad's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
So some days I can go out with a group and get to them, others it does not matter what I do.. it just does not happen. Couple of weeks ago I did everything except go into a full track and still could not get to the group. I also find that once I get below them.. I stay there.. no matter how much I try to slow down.. I don't get any further below them but don't get any closer either. Usually by around 8K or so I just say "fuck it" look around for others and seperate from the group. Really sucks because I feel with the amount of jumps I have .. this should be easy. I think most will say to get a coach and that is no doubt right. I don't exactly have a surplus of cash lying around for coaches and tunnel time. My legs stay out so I don't think I'm back sliding. I also notice that.. even though I might be moving toward the group it never appears that way. Any suggestions? Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night. -
I find it absolutely astounding that people that do not have a tandem rating, never preformed a tandem landing as an instructor find the need to chime in here. Is that the only way you could justify your post? Who cares if people that are replying have tandem ratings or not. Common sense goes a long way. Just because some people don't have the jump numbers does not make them totally oblivious. With respect.. having a D license or 15,000 jumps or TI ratings whatever doesn't make you better than someone with an A, nor does it mean you never make mistakes either. Get off the pedistal and return to the earth with the rest of us. Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.

Yeah.. I was watching a tandem video with some people a couple wks ago and one of them said "Going up" when the canopy was deployed. They really don't get it... Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.

I miss my legos That proves they aren't just for kids Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night. -
I'm no TI but I personally think sliding in on the butt is safter than trying to stand up a landing.. For example the guy doesnt lift his legs up enough or is taller.. one wrong step and both of you go down.. Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.

Swoop Week on Yahoo's Homepage
Tuna-Salad replied to LloydDobbler's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Pretty funny.. I'm new to the sport but how long as swooping been around? Now it's the new thing I guess.. Anytime I'm asked about jumping I get 2 standard questions "have you see those bird suit things?" "have you ever put your arms back?" - If they see a video the tracking away is usually the part that gets a comment.. Now people will probably ask about swooping..

Sport skydiving on history channel 9/19/08
Tuna-Salad replied to jclalor's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I'm a little aggrivated that AFF was not talked about as an option to get into skydiving. Now there are people who think they NEED to do a tandem first. Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night. -
ZHILLS!!! Pretty cool to see some of my instructors and people I know on a documentary.
