    I'm guessing that's what it is. I'll leave it to him to explain.

    I don't know... I dropped a rose one time in the plane. I was struggling bad... The door opened...(Yes!) Relief... Oh no!? It didn't leave the aircraft. It just spread around & around.... I was so embarrassed. Now, I just hold it for freefall. It helps me track faster .

    Toyota ads?

    PiLFy replied to airdvr's topic in The Bonfire

    Screw Toyota. I'll never buy another one.

    You can't have patents that you can't talk about. That doesn't even make any sense. The word "patent" literally means t- oh forget it. Department of Defense related-work. I'd love to play with a few toys he can't talk about .

    Hi Mitch, Here's 571 posts to get you started: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=search_results&search_forum=all&search_string=jumping%20with%20one%20arm&sb=score&mh=25 Look in the upper right hand corner. There's a search function. You can search the Forums for whatever topic you like (like "Jumping with one arm"). I've seen posts from a number of guys/gals who jump w/only one arm. It can definitely be done. Good Luck.

    I've never met him, Norm. I can't take most of what he posts seriously. I can't believe he does, either. To me, he just likes to stir up sh*t for entertainment. All he's guilty of is some harmless trolling. Show me he's a pig who kicks dogs, & smacks kids? I'll change my view on him. P.S.: Thanks for dialing down the new vocabulary. It's a bit rough... Edit to add: I just looked up Callipygous. Where the H**l did you find that one??? Call_ip_y_gous...yeeaaah, I like that .

    You may call me "The Shah" Please leave beer sacrifices at my 1000ft tall bronze statue of me.....which BASE jumpers will use to jump from every Sunday. You can keep the virgins but the slutty girls....well I'll take care of those for you! Per my view in 10 years that's what I've seen. It may just be me....and god I hope it's just me. Because if it's not....we are FUCKED! I must admit I find it utterly amazing that so many people here don't recognize when someone is merely taking the piss, purely for the entertainment value.

    I usually jump out of a crowded Caravan w/o bench seats. When packed in like sardines, it's sometimes a real PITA to get the belt on. I was getting into a habit of not putting one on. Then, I read this: http://www.amazon.com/Above-All-Else-Skydivers-Adversity/dp/1616084464 I now make sure I'm properly secured every time...

    These are challenging times, Shah. There is always a solution to life's problems... P.S.: You may call me "The Shah" Please leave beer sacrifices at my 1000ft tall bronze statue of me.....which BASE jumpers will use to jump from every Sunday.

    " ................................................................... It is beneath my dignity to stoop to the level of the last couple of DZOs who screwed me over. I just never do business with them again and leave them wondering why? To each his own, Rob. I'm sure that really shook them up. I choose payback. I don't feel I'm lowering myself @all by doing so. Feel free to view life your way.

    Oh, fine.... Have it your way. Jan doesn't spell his/her name right, anyway. Happy Birthday, Jan (whoever the Heck you are) !!

    What? John Mayer's birthday is on Oct. 16th, not today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMVQ1synlaU

    That was freakin brutal to even watch... Sangi, I think you should post the uncut video, along w/your list of injuries. Hearing you gasp for breath, & others trying to attend to you, may help keep some other young hotshots from hurting themselves. I hope you eventually make a full recovery, Sangi. I'm sorry this happened to you.

    Awe, come on, Jerry. Leave the young man his delusions. It's OK, John. You're still that young, tough man you remember. You can still bench press Buicks, & run twenty miles, all while smoking 3 packs a day. You keep thinking that... Just don't try to actually do it anymore. They'll eat ya' for breakfast. Heal Fast.

    What ?! That's not even 80MPH (?)!! Hell, I cruise that fast, here. Say it ain't so, Joe... I'd heard that speeds are restricted near cities, but thought other parts of the Autobahn are as they've always been. They're gonna have to change its name. BTW, "What does it take to get a license in Germany?"

    Oops, you forgot to post under your anonymous account...Out the dirtbag DZO. Out the dirtbag DZO.

    W/their history of safety violations. Why would you even consider jumping there??? Davis is just to the west of Sac. Do yourself a favor, & drive a little further.

    What does it take to get a license in Germany? If I crashed a car into another on the autobahn @150MPH? It would do a whole lot more damage than my little Butt falling from the sky ever could...

    If someone f**ks you over. You f**k them back. Not only is catharsis a wonderful thing. If you don't pay this turd back. He'll do the same, or worse, to the next person. I say to at least get him fined. He stole a couple grand from you. Now, there's missing gear involved, too? Nail his worthless ass.

    Congrats on your first week. I forgot to mention this before, but... I'd psyched myself up for the first four days when I quit. They went amazingly smoothly. The following week I thought I'd get arrested for assault for sure. It can make you a bit cranky. Good Luck.

    Some of your vocabulary makes me think you aren't in the US. We have labor laws to protect against this type of thing. I've had to use it myself in the past. If an investigator goes into a company to research a complaint? They don't just examine your pay records. They go through EVERYBODY'S records. It involves heavy fines when caught being guilty. That's how it used to work, anyway. So many companies are screwing people over now. They may have streamlined the process out of necessity. The last time I complained to a labor board about being owed monies. I had a check (& BS apologies, yadda_yadda) within two days. If you're overseas, I hope you have something similar to turn to. Worse comes to worse, give him some payback. Just don't post it here.

    "There is no such thing as an ex-smoker, it is just a smoker who is not smoking." Dunno, Dave. I was a heavy smoker for ten years. When I decided to quit. I knew it would require a major lifestyle change. I set a date, & did it Cold Turkey: September 7, 1989 @1:15AM ... I internalized the change because I wanted to. I don't miss it. I don't want it. I'm an ex-smoker. Good Luck, Marinus. It's a mind game. Set your mind to it, & you'll do it.

    Hi Ryan, I'm new, but can help you this much. I'm also a lightweight @155#s. I used to struggle mightily to keep up w/200+# friends when I was only wearing shorts & a tee shirt. I couldn't arch hard enough. I bought a tight fitting Bev suit w/nylon front & spandex back & arms. I now have quite a comfortable speed range. I actually have to de-arch to slow down for guys weighing 250+#s... I'm sure more experienced fliers can more efficiently fly their bodies. Even so, they use the fast suits, too. Good Luck.

    I've scored some sweet deals on Ebay for other sporting gear. W/one notable exception, I've had no joy for jumping gear. There have always been a couple of idiots willing to bid the item up to the price of new (or beyond...). Having a hard time affording gear, Shah? There's an easy fix. Just sell the Porsche ...
