sundevil777 93 #27 January 13, 2005 Quote23. You catch yourself using the term "snoot" every once in a while. What is "snoot"?People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davidlayne 5 #39 January 19, 2005 55. P.C.A. was the regulating agency and was located in California.I don't care how many skydives you've got, until you stepped into complete darkness at 800' wearing 95 lbs of equipment and 42 lbs of parachute, son you are still a leg!

wartload 0 #40 March 29, 2005 Also, you remember: -- Why the Thunderbow was called a "Polish PC" -- What the "Snyder Wrap" was and you know what it was used for -- Griping about how much space in the USPA magazine was devoted to the Jose Cuervo Para-Ski competition every year -- Aircraft altimeters that were mounted to the bungees on your chest reserve -- Cotton twill reserves -- "Wuffos" -- $2 Hop'n'pops from 1800 to 2000 -- Papillons -- Reading about something new called "The Flying Mattress" -- Baton passes -- HAGALO jumps -- "Zapping" -- Single-shot and shot-and-a-half releases (or a single-point release in the center of the chest) -- Watching "Ripcord" on TV and wanting to be like them someday--and wondering if one of the guys used to be "Chester" on "Gunsmoke" -- Thinking the guy with over 200 jumps was a Sky God. -- Knowing that the DZ was about the only place in the country where crew-cut military and long-haired hippies were comfortable around each other -- MA1 pilot chutes -- Doing your first "exhibition jump" before you had 25 total jumps -- Knowing the correct answer to why you jump out of "perfectly good airplanes" -- Squares being the canopies that gave the HARD landings -- Piglets, wonder hogs and warthogs -- French "Waffle Stomper" boots Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like PCs, they weren't really all that hard to stand up. Unless something unusual was going on (like really high winds, reserve ride on a flat/circ 24, or stretching for the disk) it was a matter of pride for non-students (off SL) to stand up rounds -- but the cumulative effects on the knees started to show up years later.
