fav. quote

Recommended Posts

I haven't thought about it enough to have a favorite, but a few that pop to mind are:

serious - "There is no pause button in skydiving"
or - "The only guarantee in skydiving is you WILL land."

funny - "Skydivers have more fun than people"

I forget where I heard this one, but it goes something like:

After a particularly bad landing, an instructor was overheard saying to a student, "That landing would have been perfect if you'd finished it by catching on fire and exploding.":ph34r:

From the jumpmaster of one load after sorting out the exit order and landing pattern, came out with "...and for Christ's sake, will nobody f**king die!!"

Cracked us up since it was totally unexpected and he had a look of (feigned) injured concern on his face when he said it.

Brian Germain, very quietly, while videotaping a friend during a canopy course starting a 270 hook turn about 300 feet too low:

"Oh, that's not good." ...followed shortly by:

"Nice job of not killing yourself!"

Temporary highjack.

Iceman, congrats on #2000 last weekend at the boogie. Seeing Aviva make an almost perfect swish through the center was too funny.

Sorry, carry on with the quotes.

Not a quote, but a "moment":

I saw Brian Germain at the SoBe Boogie (first and only) do a handstand in the packing hangar... and while he was upside down, someone (don't know who it was) ran up and PANTSED HIM! :D

Later that evening, he gave a canopy control seminar, and when he showed up to introduce himself and start the seminar (keep in mind, I had about 30 jumps and new NO one, so when he got pantsed he was just another dude to me), I said, "Hey, you're the guy who got pantsed!" :D

Brian's cool; he took it in stride with a sense of humor and said, "Yeah." LOL!

Here's my favorite....Don't know who wrote it...But I am trying to live by it...Puts the door monster in perspective...

"I have not ceased being fearful, but I have ceased to let fear control me. I have accepted fear as a part of life - specifically the fear of change, the fear of the unkown, and I have gone ahead despite the soundings in my heart that says: Turn back, you'll die if you venture too far."


I have another that goes something like this...

"You may never get rid of the butterflies but you can teach them to fly in formation."
