sangiro 4 #1 June 17, 2001 One of the cheap thrills about this site for me personally has always been to hear how people used it in some kind of manner that really added value. (Not to take away anything from the high value conversations that goes on in the Talkback Forum daily! ) Another one has been to see some of the "big names" in the sport surf around the site with the rest of us plebs! Check this out for instance:Olav Zipser's Classified AdsHere's his profilePretty cool huh? Safe swoopsSangiro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skreamer 1 #3 June 17, 2001 Hey, here's an idea - why not ask him to log onto the Pub for an hour or two on happy hour night. Great PR for him and we could bombard him with interesting questions. How about it HH, could you ask the Zipser dude for us? Actually can't we try and get featured guests on the happy hour occasionally? I swear we'll behave and keep the questions above-board! /s Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olav, while considered very snooty by most of my freefly buddies who have met him, is still just a guy. Actually, most of the world-champion skydivers I am friends with are totally approachable. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites FreeflyPlaymate 0 #14 June 18, 2001 I am almost positive this will not sound completely the way I would like it to be. However...I hope that my underlying point will come accross. We are all the same...JUMPERS. No one owns any games and no one developed any kind of flying first. The Wright bros. did not develop flying on their own...humans have been forever fixated with the sky from the begining of time. I think anyone who gets titles or accomplishments is a wonderful thing for that person and for skydiving as well, it's an accomplishment...but maybe I view my own goals differently from that....it's not about titles, or championships. And no I do not believe the great Olav invented freeflying...freeflying has many techniques as freestyle...and jumpers have been doing that longer than the world freefly has been around. In all seriousness...go look into the mirror....right now...go...that my friends is what deserves recognition, you...you yourself, not any titles... In reading the previous posts about believing if it is "him". I can't believe I have the honor of talking to any of you...for I am the lucky one. I can invent games and create a new lisence, and slap a label as it is my own...but I never will...because I respect all of the jumpers before me, and I will NOT claim their ideas as solely my own. What I am trying to say...is that we are all equal...we are ALL THAT special, and I hope every single one of you realizes that.**BLUE ONES** BITE ME.... :P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Pammi 0 #15 June 18, 2001 Beautifully said Playmate.Some newpics.
