I just purchased a stroboframe quick release. When it's all set up properly, there is some play between the camera plate and the helmet plate. Anybody else have issues with this? All they all like this or do I have a defective one? Any input appreciated. Thanks.

Hell yeah. The man in black rocks. And that video is one of the best damn videos I've ever seen.

Seriously dude, grow up. Why would we want to bring them homes? Wouldn't it be expensive to ship all that lumber and drywall to Iraq? Wouldn't it just be easier to bring them home? Sorry... couldn't help but make fun of your typo.

Hey I just noticed the title of your post is five syllables long. That means it can be the first line of a haiku. Here goes: Fuck it all to hell This fucking shit sucks big balls Motherfucking bitch

Healthiest beer? Who cares as long as it's tasty and it gets you where you need to go?

Yeah, where's clapton? Talk about greatest of all time, people used to say he was GOD. And yes, BB King is overrated. Certainly not in the top 10. And although I'm not a big GnR fan, I'd have to put Slash in my personal top ten for coming up with some of the most amazing melodies I've ever heard. And Keith Richards? C'mon. The list sucks. It's obvious they didn't put a lot of thought into it, just thought of the most popular ones and put them at the top.

Rules for getting girls (that I heard from another skydiver): 1. Go ugly early before all the good looking ugly ones are gone. 2. If no woman meets your standards, lower your standards. 3. No girl ever looked ugly with my cock in her mouth. Like I said, they're not my rules, just something I heard. Not bad advice, though.

Hell no it's not a real job. I get up in the morning and look forward to going to work. Does that sound like a real job to you? I get paid to jump out of an airplane and at the end of it all, I get to swoop. How can you call that a real job? I hope I never have a real job.

Jason, Fuck her. She's not that hot and she's a bitch anyway. Let her go make somebody else's life miserable. You can do better.

It did worse than the original show? Christ, it must have sucked balls.

Beer tastes best after the sunset load. Fortunately, for me, the sunset load is usually at about 1pm...

No dude, you want to hear bad lyrics, just turn on the damn radio to your local top 40 station. I believe I can fly I believe I can touch the sky I think about it every night and day Spread my wings and just fly away... FUCKING GAY! I want to throw that asshole out of an airplane with no rig and say "I thought you could fly, motherfucker!" Sunman is drunk. Very very drunk.

How many jumps have you made without a malfunction?
sunman replied to Skymonkey13's topic in The Bonfire
Funny you should ask. Dammit... had WELL over 1000 jumps with no mal... had a spinner last week. That's that only bad part about skydiving in the Florida Keys. You chop your shit and I guarantee you're going for a swim. Two swims to be exact. One to get my main and another to get my freebag. You better believe I tried to fight that thing! Fuckin' Spinettos. -
Airwolf was a fucking cartoon? I thought it was that retarded show with the guy who played the cello and the badass helicopter and his friend Dominic...

Sorry Quade, 7 cells are okay. In fact, I have one. But like Stacy said, it stays neatly packed away in the reserve tray where it belongs. The other day I had a spinner. Kicked out of it just so I wouldn't have to use that 7 cell. I think that's why reserves have only 7 cells. That way you'll only want to use it if you absolutely have to. I mean, if you can't hook it, then what's the point? I'm waiting for somebody to come out with a nine cell elliptical reserve. Or I could get that velocity I want so bad and put my Stilleto 107 in the reserve container. It's a sky slug anyway, so it would make a great reserve.

My canopy has seven cells. Plus two more cells on the ends that make it glide farther, turn faster and swoop better!

How long did it take you to decide on a career?
sunman replied to SkydiveNFlorida's topic in The Bonfire
Here's what has worked for me. Do something you LIKE. Forget about the money and start asking yourself what you like doing. Stay in school or don't stay in school... whichever you like. It probably doesn't really matter. I stayed in school when I was going through the exact same thing as you, and it was pretty much a waste of time. But do something that you want to do NOW. Stay in school if that's what you want. Stop thinking about the future so much in terms of having a huge retirement when you're too damn old to enjoy it anyway. I only had the courage to do what I really wanted to do when I got laid off from my "normal" job. Now I live in paradise, I only work three hours a day doing what I love to do anyway. I'm a full-time skydiver, by the way, but that's beside the point. The point is, I'm not rich as far as money goes, but my life is about as easy and fun as life can get, which means I live very richly. I get to skydive, wakeboard, scuba dive, bar-hop, cruise around on my boat, everything I would do if I had tons of money anyway. I wouldn't trade it for the world. Meanwhile, I save what I can of my salary and try to do smart things with it. Someday I plan to have enough money to just travel around the world on my boat. Like I said, it worked for me. Meanwhile, if you want to accomplish #2 on your skydive agenda, come on down to skydive key west. -
Chief instuctor 40 years old having relations with just 18 year old students
sunman replied to Redblue's topic in The Bonfire
There's been a few times (okay more than a few) when I've been doing a tandem or a video with some hotass student and wanted to hit on her, but I didn't because it would be unprofessional. But you sure don't get laid that way. -

No, because those young chicks wouldn't bang the guy who mows the lawn. -

Damn. I hope I can get 18 year old poon when I'm forty. I know all you other guys are thinking the exact same thing, so don't get all self-righteous on me. -
I've downloaded some pretty funny shit by sam kinison, george carlin, norm macdonald (quirky dry humor), jay mohr, and an hour long show by jamie foxx called "i might need some security". That last one is great to listen to in your car when you have a long drive. Edited to add: did you mean comedians who speak english or english comedians who speak? Ah, fuck it.

If he's guilty, yes, but what if he's not? What right do you have to call somebody else scum when the only thing that you know about him is that he cheated on his wife once. If I knew all the horrible things you've ever done, then you might appear to be scum as well, even though the good you have done might far outweight the bad. Hell, I'd hate to have every bad thing I've done splattered all over the front pages, because then I'd look like a total dick. I'm not blameless, so I won't be casting any stones. Edited to add: You might be right, he might be scum. But I don't have enough information to make that assessment, and I never will because I don't know the man personally.

I was a teacher before I was a full time skydiver. I'm making about the same money now as I was before. It's not that bad. If you live in the Northeast, just realize that you'll have to migrate south in the winter. Don't plan on getting rich, but plan on having a lot of fun.
