  1. When you say that you skydive, you set a bar directly in front of that person. He can not ignore it. His brain automatically sizes up whether or not he can rise above the bar or if it is a limitation. Chances are this person has no knowledge base to work with on the subject and blurts out the result of his view of that bar. I've noticed that, too. Always within the first 2 thoughts from that person is a declaration of whether he is capable of rising above that bar. Usually he will not and defends his decision with the old "Why would anybody jump out of a perfectly good airplane?" defense. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  2. Fogging in freefall? In the plane? Under canopy? The only place mine does not fog is in freefall. You just have to crack it open a little. :-) "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  3. Charges won't stick, bet they lost their gear though. Hmmmm, I know some people that were in Nashvegas this weekend. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  4. I'm thinking you should go to a bigger round parachute first then transition to the square after you have slowed down enough. But WTF do I know? "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  5. I've been that drunk and driving before. The cops always let me go when they caught me, I have never understood that. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  6. Asshole! I'm not throwing my name in just yet. I thought I was going this past March and got sick at the wrong time. Now I haven't jumped since Sept 2010 We'll see how it goes this time. I wanna be on that jump. You think he will be screaming in sign language? "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  7. I didn't either but it would be a great place to go through AFF and coaching. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  8. A jump from yesterday. The guy in the red is a newby. :-) They will be open New Years. There will be a midnight jump and then the debauchery will begin. :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQzGooZmNwc&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  9. My Grandmother would wait for sales on toilet paper. She had a closet full when she died.
  10. +1 Lol! "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  11. +1 I loaned my rig to a girl once and she landed it in a pine tree. Doh! "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  12. I love my Safire. I am 220-230 so I am loading it more than you would but, you don't realize how fast a landing is on something zippy. I found out this year, I'm 49, that I can't run as fast and don't heal nearly as fast as I used to. Just something to think about. Oh, it's a 190. 1.3-1.4 er, 189 "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  13. "A good PLF will not only save your life, it will keep you from getting hurt." (Emphasis is mine.) "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  14. I'm too old and lazy to push a clutch anymore.
  15. Sorry, I've only dropped them from 500'. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  16. That is what I do. Just send the low jump number people up on the first load and adjust accordingly. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  17. There used to be a girl that jumped with us who could stand straight up in the King Air and adjust her rig. I used to tell her I hated her. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  18. Went on a dare. The other 2 guys never jumped again. (I don't know what's wrong with them.) "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  19. Shouldn't this be in Bonfire? "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  20. That is a pretty neat trick but not very practical.
  21. Geez man, ask her out already. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  22. Do they really think that the guy who owns the property his camper was parked on is a person of interest? "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
