  1. Made it to Vienna. My gear bag is still in Bangkok :( Hopefully it finds it way here. Side note, Qatar airport sucks! No beer to be found there One more quick flight to Klagenfurt then it's time to meet the parents Good thing there's beer here Edit because I don't know where I am. Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)

  3. You could try some speedskydiving... a couple friends there are purty good at it... I need to wear weight to freefly... Now if we could create a slow fly comp, I'd be all over that! Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)
  4. Think Italy and Czech are also on the list. Looks like some pretty tempting bigway stuff happening in Klatovy early August. Will be in Canada somewhere in between as well. Vaders drunk and booking flights again[/crazy] Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)
  5. I'll be there July/August What's good? I'll be based just outside of Klagenfurt. Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)
  6. Yeah I had a pretty good laugh when I was listening to the world news on the radio the other day. Unrest in Iraq is causing a rise in oil prices and the keystone project has been canned due to political BS Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)
  7. Im a welder and used to work in the oil and gas industry, i think it really benefited me. Hell it provided a much greater oppurtunity than the automotive / manufacturing industry of the east could ever sustain. A lot of those jobs have now moved over to China, and now were going to start sending em the bitumen as well. Its a damn shame they dont have the resources to refine the oil within Canada.

  18. No one has brought this up but what if the student is hitting on you after hours? Yes, it happened more than you'd think. My instructor turned down my advances Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)
  19. Ha that's awesome! #10 Its actually in Canada Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)
  20. What about the guys that bring girls out to the DZ to show off how awesome they are. Is it wrong for me to steal them? Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)
  21. I'm all for it. If instructors never hooked up with students I wouldn't have been born. Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)

  23. I find that I am slowing down a fair bit with my jumping the past couple years, although I have no intentions of quitting I'm comfortable with the thought that in the next 5-10 years I may not be an active jumper. I think a lot of people who have been in the sport for a few years say that skydiving is more of a lifestyle than a hobby and a couple years ago i would have totally agreed, after spending some times doing things other than skydiving I thinks its really just a fun hobby that suits my lifestyle. I thinks its very possible that in the future instead of living in tents and spending all my money on skydiving I could be living in a tent and spending all my money on some new hobby that has taken priority in my life. To become a skydiver and stay active takes a huge amount of personal and financial commitment. We have all worked hard to make it a part of our life and who we are so the thought of quitting can be a tough one, or maybe not. We've all seen the first jump student who shows up to the DZ with a motorcycle only to have it up for sale a few months later. If the day comes where the idea of selling my gear because it will pay for X number of Y, is a good idea, then I cant wait. It means I've found something that I'm more excited and passionate about than skydiving. Imagine that
  24. Its not THAT far from the dark side of the moon. Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)
  25. Do you disagree with flying a canopy in all flight modes before downsizing? The commonly heard advice is to get to know everything about your wing before downsizing - would you say that does not include becoming comfortable with front riser use? [This is a genuine question - not a trap or a disagreement with your statement] If that were the case we'd all be eternally stuck flying NAV-280s. Have fun with any kind of front riser turns on that beast... There is clearly some kind of additional qualification missing from that statement - you should not have to learn to swoop a 1:1 loaded Sabre2 to go down to 1.1:1... Have a read through Bill Vons downsizing check list. I think its pretty reasonable to be able to do all those things on a Sabre2 at 1:1 before downsizing.
