  1. hans, from the farm, is bringing all his gear, 50 dollar rental for the day if you make 3 jumps, i think. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  2. i just got my a license at skydive the farm. plenty of space to camp on the 55acre farm plus they have a bunk house. 1800$ get you 25 jumps and all gear, including your aff, 4 coach jumps, and pack jobs. all you have to do is show up and be ready to jump. highly recommended by me and a lot of other people on here.

  4. for some people its as fabled as the unicorn, anytime you get close it disappears, when you grow up you might find out. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  5. I'd beg to differ on that one... I've been a part of many such sports and 'clubs' and none compare to 'this thing of ours'. My wife who has been involved in aviation for over 35 years commented on the kindred spirit we skydivers share that is WAY above and beyond anything she'd experienced in flying. We tend to visit places that interest us all over the world, and that usually gets us around airplanes of one kind or another. Pilots will 'talk' to ya, & be somewhat friendly...SKYDIVERS welcome you as family! Food, drink, place to stay is often offered without question...I've been given a rig to jump and a lift ticket from friends I'd met just an hour prior, been handed a tandem rig and put in the rotation 1/2 an hour after hitting the door of a DZ I'd never seen before...heck I did a demo on borrowed gear into a city in Norway once, 20 minutes after walking on the DZ! You make your bones, 'get your cred' in skydiving by having an abundance of love and dedication as well as sacrificing boatloads for something that most consider a bubble or two off center. We may not agree on politics, religion or pizza toppings but we're flying the same air for the same reasons...and that creates a bond you just can't buy into with an airplane title or country club 'money'. We trust each other because we 'know' each other...whether we've been introduced or not. I know I'm just a n00b, but I really like being able to relate to & have something in common with people of all walks...even the OLD FARTS! i think you summed it up quite well.

  6. i havent been around long, but ive been around long enough to eat dz food. mix that in with changes in pressure on a hot day in a little can up in the air and you have a nightmare that any chilli fan would run from. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

  10. i know there are asshole skydivers, just like in anything else, but i still have noticed that in general jumpers are much more friendly and generous than other parts of society. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  11. so i have noticed skydivers are the nicest people on earth. i feel like i am out of place anywhere but the dz, anybody else feel like this? and what makes skydivers so nice to each other??? "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

  24. Kinda proves you men are superficial and we aren't. And I think women tip better than men in general. At least sadly to say it seems that way. As I said I have never worked in this industry so pure speculation. honestly, i tip according to service, this doesnt apply so much to a bartender because you go to them. if its a beer, he/she gets a dollar, mixed drink at least 2 dollars. not a bad tip seeing is they just had to turn around and grab a beer. it would be rude to give someone less than a dollar so the whole % thing doesnt come into play with a single drink from a bartender like it does with a waitress.

  25. stupid is stupid, it doesnt matter how many years you have had to perfect it. edited to add: i am not disagreeing with you about the infallible 20something's, just that stupid doesnt have age limits. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
