Elisha 1 #126 November 7, 2013 grue ***I can't remember the last time I even met someone at a Cali DZ that actually was from California originally. Far more people are mid-west transplants or from overseas... I'll be willing to grandfather in anyone that has either experienced a riot, an earthquake 6.0 or greater in magnitude, or been trapped in a "lockdown" during an active shooter situation.

Elisha 1 #127 November 7, 2013 That near grab of the cutaway handle didn't really look unintentional either....nor safe for that matter! But what do I know...and I'm only on page 1 so someone probably already beat me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elisha 1 #128 November 7, 2013 sass and myself are "Cali" originals...maybe hookitt too. And no one from California refers to anything as "Cali". It is NorCal, SoCal (or even LoCal for San Diego area). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiverShawn 0 #129 November 7, 2013 MalcolmRSimon's Life Philosophy from Parachutist: I try to jump more and philosophize less, but Bill and Ted said it best: “Be excellent to each other; and party on, dudes!” Wow. http://parachutistonline.com/columns/profiles/simon-bones-d-28573 I bet he could answer this differently: What has been your worst skydiving moment? I had a drogue-reserve entanglement that kept the reserve slider stuck all the way up after a container lock on a tandem. I spent terrifying time trying to bring the knot down the reserve lines in order to get the slider down. At the time, I had fewer than 100 tandem jumps and did not understand how it would be possible to container lock a Sigma tandem rig. My ignorance put me and my passenger in a potentially fatal situation. Thankfully, we both walked away with only bumps and bruises.You will never be more alive than you are the instant you let go!

hookitt 0 #130 November 7, 2013 Elishasass and myself are "Cali" originals...maybe hookitt too. And no one from California refers to anything as "Cali". It is NorCal, SoCal (or even LoCal for San Diego area). I'm from Montana but was born in a different State. Been here 25 years so I guess I'm local now. I'm calling it Cali from now on. Just like the exploding fist bump, I'll help keep it popular. Edit: Look on a map, really we are more MidCal than NorCalMy grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...

"His record", "stealing records", where do you get off?! You're gonna justify that breach of safety and trust, over an ego driven dick move?

dorkitup 1 #143 November 8, 2013 I think travelling freeflyers from California going to big-ways should now get t-shirts that say "Cali-prick" on the front. We need to know who you are. Edit: Or even better, the organizers of the new Texas state record should get everyone on the new record a Cali-pricks shirt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McDuck 0 #147 November 8, 2013 I think it's worth noting that the blood-lust in this matter is unbecoming. Everyone screws up. What he did was wrong, on many levels, but since he isn't here defending his actions, seems like he's not proud of it. He's got a long road ahead of him to repair the damage from this, and everyone deserves the chance to redeem themselves.Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.

normiss 726 #148 November 8, 2013 This isn't a screw-up! This was an intentional fuck you and intentionally put others at risk on the jump. People typically spend a ton of cash on record attempt trips. People would be expected to be pissed the hell off after someone pulled a punk move like this. I was happy to see they stuck him with the tab for the load too. His facebook comments clearly show he made a conscious decision to do this. He admitted what he intentionally did. He didn't "screw-up". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
