DO THE RIGHT THING! Just email photos of + sized ladies wearing next to nothing! Or worse! Yoga pants that read JUCY on the ass. It's what a real dude would do!

I work with kids. And they all ask two questions 1) Were you scared on your first jump. and 2) How can I do that Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

Makes you wonder why they never bring those body styles back to life? They were iconic and I'm sure they would sell well! Think of it, that body with today's engineering.....would make for a hell of a ride!

Only put on like 40 jumps on the one I have and I bought her with 50 jumps. It's a 210 and she opens really slow! We are talking....700+ ft slow. Like I have time to look around grab the rears and start thinking about the meaning of life...S...L....O....W I'm sure the older guys can help out more but that's what I have.

Damn. I didn't realize having Persians move into the neighborhood killed property values that badly. Oh you know we show up with chest hair a flowing and white BMW's and lots of gold rings and girl friends who have no inside voice.....yeah. Persians are not good for real estate value. Just ask the Greeks. They are still pissed off about some bonfire that got a little too big.

I'll believe it when i see it. Thus far the math nor the chemistry add up. You need high temperatures....not easy. You need to keep the resulting plasma away from everything using a very expensive coils. And the resulting energy output throws off so many spare parts that the coils begin to degrade.

Yeah...well another one died in my complex last week and her snot nosed kids have the place for sale at $190k...I paid $300k 5 years ago. To say I'm depressed is.....well let's put it this way.....according to the professionals...there is no drug out there for situational depression. Sorry...I killed a fun thread.

Front riser turns for final = softer landing
shah269 replied to shah269's topic in Safety and Training
Oh and i was kicking my leggs too! I'm very sorry yes! I would look left look right look left pull on left dive loop...feel the speed increase release and line up for next point. The landings weren't softer rather I felt more umph in the flare when the toggles were extended all the way. Hard to expalin. But I think after reading everying it was all in my head and that for the last few jumps, I actually had my timing down -
Front riser turns for final = softer landing
shah269 replied to shah269's topic in Safety and Training
Thank you everyone. So much great info was provided. But just to clear things up since we are now on page 3 i was making my left hand turns via pulling on the front left toggle. I was not swooping or diving just turning with the front toggle. But yeah at this low a jump numper so not a good thing to do. Thanks! -
In that case, why not bag the new car all together, and spend the money jumping? You say you're unhappy, and that jumping makes you happy, so why not make a commitment to it for a year or two and really hit it hard. Look around the DZ parking lot, there are two types of cars, nice cars and affordable cars. The nice ones are for the succesful guys who have money for jumping and a nice car, the others are for those who put jumping as more of a priority in their lives, and spend their money at the DZ, not the dealership. How many trips do you have planned this winter? Have you ever spent a week on the DZ in Z-Hills? Rent a trailer from Judy for next to nothing, eat at the snack bar, and knock out 50 jumps. You'll be amazed at what it will do for your spirits as well as your in-air skills. Toss in an evening trip to the Orlando tunnel, and it's perfect. Are you headed to the DZ this weekend? The weather looks perfect, what about the Ranch, or Crosskeys? Go somewhere and kick out 10 or 15 jumps. Crash on a couch at the DZ, and spend 36 hours on the DZ. You'll be amazed at how you forget about the rest of the world. If jumping makes you happy, then jump. In comparison to Proches and living anywhere near NYC, it's not that expensive. For less then $300 you can have a blow out weekend at a local DZ, and hit the 'master reset' on your brain. For $1500, you can go to Z-hills for a week, and forget about life for awhile. The solution is right in front of your face, recognize it and act accordingly. Thank you. I wish I could...every saturday I have my EMBA class from 8am-5pm. But I am hoping to get at least ONE jump in this sunday and I'm off on monday so maybe a few more.

Hey Shah. In your other threads you stated your location of living sucks (gotta brotha down) and you wanted to be closer to the city where stuff is going on. You got an extra $600 bucks a month. Why not rent out your condo, use that $600 to pay the difference (if there is any) of the renters rent towards your mortgage, and rent a joint closer to the city for yourself? As long as you still got some cash for jumping and other things you enjoy of course. I've thought about it more times than I can count. But where I live the rent at best is $1800 per month. My nut on the condo including fees is $3k per month. Even if I threw in $600 in car bills towards that it would not work out. I would love to sell the place and at least break even but that's not going to happen. Property values have tanked and well...just the other day another old lady kicked the bucket and Im' sure in no time her snot nosed kids will be selling her place for $190k when my place was $300k 4 years ago. The car for what it was worth would maybe put a smile on my face that i only seem to find in freefall. Which if you ask any one is not the best way to live life.

lots of regret at the moment....lots of regret. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZIiaG199_Q&feature=related that flat 6 did sound amazing right behind your head. you would have to be dead not to have enjoyed that feeling. and such a balanced car with a light responsive clutch.... But nope. Right now I'm really not feeling happy and it would be the wrong way to start a relationship with something so beautiful. Maybe later when i'm a little less......god i hate saying it....desperate to be happy? Oh and it's NJ, we get maybe one maybe two snow storms. And I could have taken the day off if we had one. It could have been a daily driver. It would have worked. But i'm not there. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Thanks bro you made me smile.

Hum you are right....I guess not. But I liked the "idea" of being married. I guess you can say I'm old fashioned when it comes to that?

7.5 years to the day. I regret.....nothing actually. It came out of the blue. One day I'm the worlds greatest husband because I'm telling her not to worry about the house work and to focus on her studies and the next think you know I'm getting a text message the next day saying she want's a divorce.... Like getting shot in the back of the head! Would I do it again? Yeah sure why not. I think it would be cool to get married again. And it was very nice to have a partner and a good friend who i could talk to and just explore the world with. Yet sadly this time around I will be significantly less trusting and less likely to bend over backwards and put another persons desires ahead of mine. But that's just me.

Gorgeous car, drove well...smelled a bit off....a little look here and a little look there and well...the poor thing had a leaky roof. And though they brought down the price significantly it was just bad karma.

I don't know. I've had some great relationships over these past two years I've been single. Lots of those I wished would lasted but things went the way they did. Who knows maybe the next one will be the right one. Believe it or not....and i know it's hard to believe...but when things were ok when I was married....I wasn't such a dick. I was still shallow as hell but before things hit the fan...I use to live and let live. I hope to go back to that one day. And I miss making dinner for two and spending sunday morning in bed reading. Maybe if I'm lucky...who knows...god / sky god willing right? Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Dave, Thank you I agree 100%. I'm going to be polite and stop over at the dealer and thank him for the time on the phone but that I really do need a 2 door or 4 door with a real trunk and a solid roof. I agree it should not be ones sole mode of transport. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

I've tried almost all the oils out there and the only one that didn't go black in 1k miles due to the how hot the 1.8T runs ils Elf which is spendy. But the car runs like a top.
