promise5 17 #1 July 21, 2015 After I was told, I then realized I do say " oh shoot" every time the door opens. Once I say it then I'm ready to go. No clue why.No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 34 #5 July 21, 2015 Not a fucking thing. If I can't hear what you say before I jump, I ain't saying anything. ETA - I've usually done some variation of the fist bump though.

BIGUN 1,053 #7 July 21, 2015 oldwomanc6 ***Dear God, please let this sumbitch open right!! Which sounds a lot like P5's "Oh, Chute!" Hey! I gots a trademark on that one. Three weeks at jump school. They spend all that time teaching you to count to four thousand and your first jump; it all goes to shit when you holler out Dear God, please let this sumbitch open right!!. It takes ~four seconds to say that and it became my ritual. So. given that P5 prolly was several years from birth.... MINE!!!! year old voice> Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 3 #10 July 21, 2015 When jumping camera, I almost always said Shepard's Prayer. "Dear God, please let me not fuck up." When jumping for fun, nope. There's almost no way to fuck up a fun jump in a way saying anything before hand is going to make a difference in. Not that it made any difference on a camera jump, but I felt a bigger obligation to not screw it up in more subtle ways.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 34 #25 August 3, 2015 sunshine Yippee ki yay mutha fucker. That's my favorite phrase. Only I don't use it before jumping. I use it when I put a road rager in his place.
