    Holy shit, a thread where i recognize names!!

     

    I was just thinking the same thing! Seeing all these peeps from back in the day brought a smile to my face! Used to be some wild threads in the Bonfire! :halo:]:)

    This was my first AFF jump, 2002!(Randy on the left) We had a few jumps during my training and he did my AFF solo clearance dive. That was a good one! 

    His enthusiasm for the sport was contagious! Fly free Randy!

    I owe you an apology Mam...as you might gather from my comment, I've sorta gotten sideswiped with that a few times.  I should know better at my age, (52). I should exercise the restraint of tongue and pen. Which I bloody well know. Or in this case, the restraint of keyboard. 

     

    Thankyou For the welcome to the sport. Your far more kind than I've a right to, especially after a knee jerk rant on my part. As soon as I figure out how, I'll see about deleting it.

     

    Again, my apologies. 

     

    BS & GB.

     

     

    CR67-

    No worries dude! Just know that on here you will find some genuine people to help answer your questions. Most of the peeps that have been here since the beginning (or close to it) will give you some good information. :D

    Blue skies!:)

    I was on FB and the group "old school skydivers" a short while back. I'm 52, but VERY new to the sport... and as we say in another group I'm a member of... newbies dont know that they dont know.  I'd asked one of those foolish questions..foolish only in so far as someone who learned enough ( and I won't say WHAT constitutes enough...) would never have asked such a question. But having gotten SOME of my college education in the field of teaching... I place a sort of value on the willingness to ask...and learn... so... when one of the old timers commented that I should bloody well know.... etc, etc, etc... I politely pointed out that I had already identified myself as someone very new to the sport and that while YES my question might be ignorant or foolish... might this not also be an opportunity for him to educate me... thus MAYBE helping this "oldschool" knowledge? Lifestyle? Attitude? Go on. 

     

    I'm also a biker... so I know a very little bit about how "closed" some of these groups or communities are... or can be... I suppose what I'm getting at in a bit of a long winded way is that it doesn't get passed on unless your passing it along... otherwise... eventually what your left with has almost GOT to be... "wow... this place has changed". Its ok to make us newbies work for it... but someone will have to say THAT as well...

    Ummm...hey there. I was talking about the layout of the site and all the changes also checking to see if any of the old crew was here. Welcome to the sport? 

  15. High: Love both my jobs. Tunnel flying is great and I enjoy every minute of it. Gives me peace and I've made some awesome friends! B|

    Yes, the good old days when they hired clever people to write scripts, and hired talented people to perform the scripts.:)
    Then they eventually figured out they could eliminate the scripts, and just put idiots off the street in front of a camera, and many people would actually watch it.:S


    Yeah comedy didn't have to involve the "F" bomb every other word or stupid human tricks back then. It involved truly funny people and good writers to showcase their talents.B|

    Yup...nothing like reality tv!:S:S[:/]
