just jump

Wow, kickass! You guys are going to have a blast! Balloons are sooooooooooooooo much fun! I hope there's a lot of beer to be bought! I'll be at SoBe, but I'll be thinking about you guys. Here's a couple pics from Rantoul I just happen to have on my PC right now. Maybe they'll help to get you guys pumped up. WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO! HELLFISH!! HELLFISH!! HELLFISH!!

You guys are funny.... Team Old and Brittle! Is that for real? Ripcord is cool as hell - I only hope to have the energy of that crazy Hellfish when I'm his age. By the way, his son made his first base jump at this year's BD. That was sweet to watch father/son jump. Ha ha... edited to add.. btw.. his son's name is Pullout!

Hey Nick... That's a great shot. Sweeeeeeet. That looks like so much fun. I can't wait to get down to Florida in a week and get back in the sky! Thanks for the pic! -Liz

I'll be there for the greatest party on Earth and in the sky. I loooooooooove WFFC! They can have my stinkin $10. Let the countdown begin!

LMFAO, that is so funny i'm drooling on myself laughing (okay, well not really "drooling")! Ha ha ha... Lesson #1 If it's not on video, it never happened!

Congrats, bud! That's awesome! See you in the sky someday! Numbers suck, but hey... it's all part of the game!

Our DZ has used both cards. In the past, we only used the 4 page version - then, this season we attempted to change to the shorter version. In the end, we ended up going back to the longer version. Blah, blah, blah. To be honest, both cards cover basically the same skill set. It should take the same amount of time to get through either. Regardless, there is still the same jump number requirement for your license.

Oh, gee. Here we go! (don't feed the trolls! don't fee the trolls!) Oopsy, you're right Weegegirl! The BASE jumpers that I'd like to sneer at with that statement are not here on DZ.com...they think it's funny to get Jaye all a-skeered by talking about their exploits...so I guess I wasted a post... well, you totally lost me. but that's okay, cuz i'm not gonna even start to argue with such a statement as you made. sorry.

Oh, gee. Here we go! (don't feed the trolls! don't fee the trolls!)

I haven't had one myself, but my father has. A long time ago, my father was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital, after a very serious accident. I guess he kind of tested fate. Several minutes later, a herd of doctors were able to revive him. Though there is no way in hell to prove it, and I would never question my father's word (as he is a very honest man), he claims to have had an out of body experience. As far as I know, the doctors never doubted his experience.

ha ha it's cool, mike. you can belly fly - we'll still love yah!

am i the only one horrified by this thread? oh, ha, no wait... look who i'm asking! nevermind! keep going! >

Hey Mike! I remember you! You were Stacey's friend that did RW, right? Ha! You were the reason that Stacey did absolutly NO freeflying that weekend! If it is you that I'm thinking about - just wanted to say hello! Hope the UK is treating you well, regardless of this shit weather! - Liz

who you callin skank ho, skank ho? teeeheeeheeeeee. wow, imagine that!

ouch, dude. sorry, but that's kinda funny! feel better!

You rock, chick! Outstanding! Very impressive! Give me a few months of warm weather to catch up - then i'm coming to find YOU. we soooo need to jump together. nice job, chickie! you are very inspiring to us cold-handed michigan wannabes!

bring it on! i used to brew with a friend in college. i always prefer good beer over sh*t beer!

wow.... what SHE said!

UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE Hello!!!! I just wanted to give everyone an update - as promissed. I GOT THE JOB!!! I accepted the job yesterday afternoon as Media Technician for Mastery Technologies. I start after the holidays when I return from Skydive SoBe. Thanks all my dz.com peeps for the good luck, vibes, and advice. It obviously payed off. You guys rock. Only bummer.... I probably won't be hanging out on dz.com too much during the day. I'll have a job that I actually like..... hopefully!

ha ha ha... i'll play.... but i didn't really write this... i swear! Dear Santa, I have been a good girl. It really wasn't my fault what happened at Hooligan's Christmas party. It was Studious Minimus Expiloto Rodriguez who spiked the punch with too much Tequilla. I can't help it if I drank 23 glasses. It was so good---smelled and tasted just like Morning Breath. I thought it was funny when I put Rex's scarf on my head and danced the Chicken Dance on the dz couch while singing `Hey Yah'. I didn't mean to break Hooligan's car door unlocker and don't know why Hooligan would sue me for cloud-punching. I don't remember calling Big John's wife a goofy giraffe---even though she looked like one with sporto-orange eye shadow and purple lipstick! And when I threw up on Barb Poore's husband's elbow, it was only because I ate too much of that twinkie. After all that fun, I admit I was a little tired. So I fell asleep on my way home and drove my dz jeep through my neighbor's roof. I don't think that was any reason for my neighbor to call me a drunk monkey and have me arrested for smokin dope! So, Santa...here I sit in my jail cell on Christmas Eve, all zoomy and funky. And I'm really not to blame for any of this punk stuff. Please bring me what I want the most---bail money! Sincerely and scandolously yours, Weegegirl (Really a nice girl!) P.S. It's only 2 bucks!

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha ha ha.... No worries, WrongWay... we can teach you how to play: Starting Each quarter is started with the teams lined up on opposite goal lines. On a signal (whistle) from the referee, the teams sprint toward center pool for the ball. The ball is placed in a “pull start”, a ring that holds the ball. The pull start is lowered once the sprinters approach. The team gaining possession of the ball advances it toward its offensive end of the pool by swimming, dribbling or passing the ball. Fouls There are two types of fouls in water polo. Ordinary fouls account for approximately 80% of the whistles during the game and personal faults (or major fouls). Major fouls include exclusion and penalty fouls. Ordinary fouls include: Touching the ball with two hands Taking the ball under water when tackled Impeding an opponent who is not holding the ball Pushing off of an opponent; and, stalling (failing to shoot or advance the ball within 35 seconds). When the referee calls an ordinary foul, the offended team is awarded a free throw at the point of the foul. The offended team must put the ball in play without delay by releasing, swimming or passing the ball. Exclusion fouls include: kicking or striking deliberate splashing in the face an ordinary foul committed by the defense during dead time interfering with a free throw misconduct or disrespect to the referee holding, sinking or pullin back an opponent not holding the ball. Exclusion fouls may result in a player being excluded for 20 seconds. The excluded player (or his substitute) may not return until the 20 second exclusion time expires, a goal is scored or a change of possession takes place, which ever period is shortest. A player receiving three major fouls is removed from the game with substitution. Deliberate kicking or striking with intent to harm an opponent (brutality) results in ejection of the offending player for the remainder of the game, without substitution. Time Clocks As in basketball, two clocks are used to time a water polo game. One indicates the time remaining in the quarter, and the other, called the shot clock or thirty-five second clock, indicates how much time remains for the offensive team to shoot the ball (the team is allowed 35).

I want it all! And then some!

My first jump was at the Ranch in NY. And though it was by far the coolest experience of my life - the initiation INTO my life - I was given no info. They didn't explain AFF to me or tell me how to get into the sport - they took my money, shook my hand, gave me a certificate and sent me on my way. A year later, I made another tandem at Jumptown in Orange, Mass. Again, great experience - but no info on becoming a licensed skydiver. Then, a year later (last year) I went to Skydive Tecumseh and said I wanted to make my third tandem. They told me I was nutz and needed to get into the sport for real. I signed up that day for the static line program. So, I guess what I'm trying to say, is that this is a great resource for people who have the interest, but get lost in the "tandem factory" and are never told how to get into the sport. If I had utilized dropzone.com four years ago, I'd probably have another 500 jumps by now. My current reasons for using this site - learn. learn from other people's mistakes. shits-n-giggles. cool people like WrongWay.
