RoysPlayThing 0 #1 October 13, 2003 YOU KNOW YOU'RE AN OLD-TIME SKYDIVER WHEN: * You think PC stands for ParaCommander. * You still call them AOD's * You know the rules for SCS and SCR. * You HAVE and SCS AND and SCR #. * You call it "Freak Flying" instead of "Sit Fly" and can do it without a special jump suit.' * You still call it the "Freak Brothers" convention. * You remember when safety meetings weren't. * You can't tell the difference between BOC and a "pull out" except you don't get to pull your own pin. * You remember when turf surfing was something students did, not hot dogs. * You think Pink is a stupid gear color for guys. * You KNOW what else to do on a weekend. * You think they are ALL "fun" jumps. * You think a collapsable pilot chute is something bad. * You think diapers go on mains. * You don't call a jump from 9,500 a "cloud base" jump. * When "pro" packing is something your rigger does. * When paying someone to pack your main is a waste of perfectly good jumping money * When you lament the loss of the need to "stand tension" cause it gave your girl friend something to do. * You know who Lew Sanborn is and can spell his first name. * You still call them ASOs. * You know what a "jesus string" is. * You remember when you actually wanted to buy a Paraflite main. * You catch yourself using the term "snoot" every once in a while. * Camera suits were used for RW. * Waivers were on a 3"x5" index card...along with the rest of your info. * Competition judges actually had to stand outside. * You remember when a 5-cell canopy was the cat's meow. * You can remember when $7.00 to 12,000 ft was highway robbery. * You remember deliberately doing hook turns downwind into the ground to stomp a disk. * You remember why the pea gravel pit was invented. * You remember swearing never to remove *any* padding off of a harness. _______________________________________________ My mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open.

PhreeZone 15 #2 October 13, 2003 This has been posted many times... And I'll bet the majority of the jumpers on this board have no idea what half these things mean... and the other have have my respect for living through them.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumper03 0 #3 October 13, 2003 Quote* You know the rules for SCS and SCR. * You HAVE and SCS AND and SCR #. I was going to ask about this the other day. I asked around the DZ if anyone had done an SCR jump lately or was planning on it. People looked at me like I was crazy as hell "SCR? wuzzat?" Do people still do them? Anybody want to do one?

Chivo 0 #4 October 13, 2003 I have both SCR and SCS. Now I want the VSCR and hopefully the VSCS. Check http://www.scr-awards.com. Those awards are popular in TX, but here in CA only a few know about them. Guess in CA they're just afraid of the ceremony . ~Chivo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
