  1. are they swollen and red? does it hurt to flex or move them in any way? does it hurt to poke them? are they sore when you dont move them? do they both hurt the same? or does one hurt more than the other? is the pain sharp? dull? does it radiate anywhere? im not a doctor but i did stay at a holiday in express last night.

  2. Rosie O'Donnell? crayon? toothpick? tylenol? i cant think of anything remotely sexual about those... Thanatos340(on landing rounds)-- Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet.
  3. i dont think i did. but then i havent jumped in a WHILE sadly. but ill keep that in mind when i do go again Thanatos340(on landing rounds)-- Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet.
  4. dude, dont worry about being unstable on exit, of my 15 or so jumps, MAYBE 2 of them were remotely stable exits. but it taught me to recover fast, so its all good.

  5. 5 guys in a cessna?! try however the many (18 i think) people you can fit in a PAC on a 90 degree day, lol. but yeah either way its damn near miserable, lol.

  6. yeah tell me about it! they are like flying trashcans, lol Thanatos340(on landing rounds)-- Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet.
  7. yeah exactly, i wish i had some physical record of me throwing myself out of a perfectly horrid plane, other than my logbook of course, lol Thanatos340(on landing rounds)-- Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet.
  8. slow deep breaths, relax, enjoy it. nothing in the world compares. Thanatos340(on landing rounds)-- Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet.
  9. like said above, weights and fins depend on what "style", is used. and a rope is used to ensure a totally vertical decent so they dont waste air drifting, and to accurately measure the depth the diver gets to.

  10. HaHa i wish that worked...but on a more serious note...what's the ettiquette for that sort of thing. Just bring it in when you go to the DZ or only when there is a party or something? most people require a case of beer for each first, although beer rules USUALLY dont apply during AFF, examples are, FIRST solo, FIRST, jump on a self packed canopy, FIRST cutaway/reserve ride, FIRST jump on a new canopy, FIRST 4 way, 8 way, and 16 way, etc etc etc...multiple firsts can be completed in one day and only one case of beer is required, i did my AFF grad jump, 1st solo, and planned on 1st self packed canopy all in one jump (missed that one due to having to hurry to make a load, and the fact that it took like 30 mins for me to pack the stupid giant bed sheet in the slipperly damn bag, haha) theres a website explaining beer rules better but i cant rember what it is. . .someone here will post it im sure Thanatos340(on landing rounds)-- Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet.
  11. id totally do it, looks like great fun! Thanatos340(on landing rounds)-- Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet.
  12. you must not have heard about the guy who can eat eat brightly colored things, hold them in his throat and vomit them back up onto canvas. now THATS art Thanatos340(on landing rounds)-- Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet.
  13. I'm in jacksonville, and made my home at deland, lots of really great and helpful people there. and the owner is awsome as well, took me an ONE other guy to altitude in the PAC on my very first solo (tandems werent ready, and he didnt feel like we should have to wait). needless to say it was nice to be able to stretch out on the bench and actually have room to breathe and think, haha. on top of that ive never had to actually wait very long for a load, they pretty much put them up damn near constantly. check it out either way, its WELL worth the drive.

  14. I'm PADI cert'd, but ive got friends with MAUI, either way i think its more about the instructor vs the actual class, Kinda like static line vs AFF, they both teach you to skydive, its more about what is more easily accessible, and comfortable to you.

  15. happy birthday! Thanatos340(on landing rounds)-- Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet.
  16. grats on the jump! welcome to the forums! Thanatos340(on landing rounds)-- Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet.
  17. this. what are you wanting, is the question Thanatos340(on landing rounds)-- Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet.
  18. wow, thats cool! i liked the painting sequence, that looks insane. Thanatos340(on landing rounds)-- Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet.
  19. have you personally met pastrana? he walked up to me and started talking to me like he knew me for years. really nice guy. he didnt seem all the ego centered to me at least.

  20. Yeah dude, a rig is so far out for you right now you dont even need to consider it. youre going to have to throw down enough cash as it is without a rig, so just work on paying for AFF and all your jumps, and once you get closer to your A liscense THEN you can think about a rig. but like he said, if you insist on buying things, buy stuff like an ali, and helmet, stuff you arent going to outgrow soon and have to resell in a few short months Thanatos340(on landing rounds)-- Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet.
  21. grats on your firts jump. glad you enjoyed it! yeah the big student canopies are a pain in the ass to get together without dragging it, but you wont be on one forever and the smaller canopies are much easier to handle :D good luck. and welcome to the forums Thanatos340(on landing rounds)-- Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet.
  22. Speak for yourself, my plan is to live forever...so far so good! but "to die would be a great adventure" Thanatos340(on landing rounds)-- Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet.
  23. ok i worded that poorly, yes you can have a big affect on HOW you die, for the most part, (sometimes its just your time to go, and there isnt a damn thing anyone could have done), my point was that no matter what you do you will die eventually, somewhere some how, death comes so dont focus on dying, focus on being safe so you live longer, if that makes any sense.

  24. shit man you dont have to get old, I'm 23 years old and will almost guarantee that i've lost more friends in the past few years than most will in a life time, not due to skydiving accidents yet, they were things like car wrecks, bike wrecks, drownings, unexplainable sudden death at 17, brain cancer at 27, and a host of other things. and through all this its made me realize that no one lives forever, and you may as well have as much fun as possible, because you're time will come, like it or not. nothing you can do will change it so dont worry about it.
