How many jumpers who started WAY young are on DZ.com? Like me, I started at 6, Jarrett Martin at 9, I know of the Mullins kids and Missy Nelson, Is there anybody else? Carpe Diem, even if it kills me

I just read up on his accident. It sucks, what happened to him. Wonder if he still hangs around dropzones He's representing the U.S. in accuracy at the Dubai International Parachuting Championship right now. Yeah, he still hangs around dropzones. He's been sending some updates to Blue Skies Magazine. There's also a link there to a recent CBS report on him. http://blueskiesmag.com/2013/11/29/jarrett-martin-dipc-updates/ WOW That's fucking awesome. I wanna meet him! Carpe Diem, even if it kills me

Infringements do NOT have to be paid in alcohol. Infringements DO have to be PAID. "Non-drinkers may buy sodas and buyers may make up any part or whole of their purchase in soda for the enjoyment of those non-drinkers." Who said I was a non-drinker? Im tellinn ya, If you're underage, you can't owe. I will be nice and get a case of rootbeer.... But nowhere in your rules says I, as an underage jumper, has to owe beer. Did you even read my post. let me high light the important parts of the two lines of text. Infringements do NOT have to be paid in alcohol.(beer being alcohol) Infringements DO have to be PAID. Pay the fines in anyway you see fit, cookies, cakes, Soda, Beer, Bottled water on a hot day. However you see fit, BUT PAY YOUR FINES. Or do not participate in ANY Fines paid by others. I understand that that is what your post said. All I am arguing is the fact that the rules posted as "proof" that underage jumpers can't get out of the beer fine, didn't actually prove the point trying to be made. I am happy to supply rootbeer, or even get someone to buy beer for me....***Did I just say that out loud? oops*** But my point is, the rules posted had no clause for underage people. Carpe Diem, even if it kills me

Not a chance, see attachment. Sparky This attachment has no clause for the whole under age thing. If you arent old enough to buy beer, you cant owe the shit. Till im 21 you fuckers are getting rootbeer!! Carpe Diem, even if it kills me

The driver was a former racecar driver. Seems like he should have known better Carpe Diem, even if it kills me

maybe trying to show off his "skills" from FATF? I hope he wouldnt be that stupid... But then again ETA: Nevermind, He was the passenger Carpe Diem, even if it kills me

hmmm.... That jumpsuit and the landscape looks extremely familiar........ https://myspace.com/skydivinkid/video/my-level-1-jump-thanks-dad/34725397 My 12 year old self jumping out of the super 182.... :) Carpe Diem, even if it kills me

Don't forget Bill Booth's daughter. A parent isn't going to sue themselves over a mishap, so that reduces the potential pool of lawsuit defendants. Although I know the gear mfgrs still aren't happy about it. It wasn't a huge problem when I did my tandem at 6 and started aff at 12. Everybody knew we weren't going to sue if I got hurt. Its about maturity of the jumper and the underage jumper's parent's mindset. If the kids parents are jumpers, Probably not going to have any issues. ETA: The key as a dzo or even as far as a TI is to not risk anything with people you dont know. If you do this, You wont get sued. Make sure the jumper is mature enough to understand the saftey risks if they are going to be under their own canopy and make sure the TI on a tandem is either the parent or the parent is aware and accepts the risk. Ya know? Carpe Diem, even if it kills me

I didnt see this before I posted mine.... But still. Holy Shit Carpe Diem, even if it kills me

Wow... How will this go over in the Fast series? This really is a sad day. Rest in peace man. Carpe Diem, even if it kills me

Obviously, I mean I am throwing YOU on a spaceship with three dudes you don't know for an 8 month long one-way trip and you're going to test skydiving on Mars for me :) Carpe Diem, even if it kills me

Ill throw in a jump ticket and a case of beer against ya Carpe Diem, even if it kills me

A harness for what? In case they fall? Carpe Diem, even if it kills me

Im now getting the Bezzera Strega. I tasted a shot out of that and man oh man.... Carpe Diem, even if it kills me

Eh... The one i am getting is only $2000.... That's 2/3 of a rig.... Im off of the idea of getting a marzocco ETA: You cant divide by " " so I thought Id throw that in there. Carpe Diem, even if it kills me

2 full time jobs (Im a barista for 40 hrs a week, and Im a robotics programmer for 40 hrs a week) and another part time barista job. That leaves me no time to spend my money.... I currently have no life...... Still live with dad for the next year so I am doing nothing but saving. Carpe Diem, even if it kills me

While this may be true, EVERYBODY I have talked to agree that it would be a bad ass DZ home. It wouldnt be the ugliest thing at most dropzones either. I do plan on living in it full time for a long time. So powering the batteries with solar is a good idea. I plan on also having a generator and RV hookups installed. Can I please be extremely nosey and ask how old you are now? LOL yes. I'm 18. But I have also been on dropzones all my life so the importance of my age is beyond me. I asked because I thought you had that youthful, don't take that "you can't do it" enthusiasm. Planning on living in a converted school bus for a long time now seems, at least to me, a lot more understandable since you're young. Maybe your outlook will change if you ever meet a nice young lady and want to settle down conventionally. For now, it seems like you want to take the world by the balls. Good for you. Good luck. Ah okay Carpe Diem, even if it kills me

No nothing to do with the bus. As its not a "coffee bus" it's a bus that I will live in for quite some time that just happens to have amazing coffee inside of it. Carpe Diem, even if it kills me
