  2. That low jump nervousness goes away. I felt my knees really knock for the first time since my training when I did my balloon jump in Rantoul this summer. I still get nervous when I'm with a group that has an objective, 'cause I don't want to mess everything up.

  3. Dad's can rock too! My dad bought me a rig for Christmas over my Mom's head ( she still doesn't know) because she doesn't really like me skydiving. However she does buy into audible alt's and helmets because they are "safety items". :)

  5. It's Friday, I fully expect more debauchery on this thread by the time I'm drunk tonight. I think Rellik has set the standard for you Dagny.

  6. My dad always says its easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission. ;) I told my parents I was going to but not exactly when. I made sure the DZ had all the work/cell/home numbers they would need in case anything ever happened.

    The important part is for the person who is right next to the shower head, facing away from the shower head, to use their shoulder to regulate the water flow. Doing this properly will keep you both warm and with substantial water. If you're cold, move your shoulder up a little bit, giving yourself some more water, but be sure to leave enough spraying over your shoulder for her. I have noticed some unnamed females like to hog the water, so you might have to be the one doing the regulating.




    Aye it is necessary for me to regulate the water as all my girlfriends recently have been taller than me. 6'1 ... 6' 3" :S . Girls are waterhogs to be sure.

  9. Maybe the people that voted no just aren't attracted to females at all. Or they are smoking crack. Or they are jealous. Or just mean. Ass kicking for all but the first.

  11. Ronnie Allie : Put me out on my first static line.

    Adam Baier: Great guy, ran the skydiving club here before me and taught (is teaching still) me alot about skydiving.

    Gene Stuart: Didn't know how great of a guy he was till he was gone, hopefully he will be back soon. Awesome flier, inspires me to be better.

    Rastas! : My Coach's Course instructor, showed me what real flying was and gave me confidence to teach my students.

    Too many more to list...

  12. So I need some help to show my girlfriend that it's normal for couples to shower together (pre-marriage). Well at least I think it is. I don't know if a poll of skydivers is really going to show her "normal" but close enough ;) . If you know me (shane) keep your hole shut. :$

  14. Top level of a not very busy parking garage works well too. Not that I'm speaking from experience of course.... :$

  16. Yea we've ventured down to ASC a few times now. I did my 100th down there and the cute manifest babes were trying to convince me to do it nekkid, but my gf threatened to disown me so I just did it in my boxers. Not that everything wasn't flapping around anyway (sorry no pictures). The girl in the middle is Kristin. You might remember Steve too but he doesn't belong on this thread ;).

  19. This is going to be hard to describe without showing you, but once you have it on the ground and are getting ready to put it in the bag:

    Instead of making your first fold from the bottom and then making the other fold and bringing it on top, try making the last fold first and putting it in the bag by itself. Then make the first s-fold last and slide it in towards the middle. Dang that's really hard to describe in words. Hope it helps. It's all in controlling the fabric.

  20. Yea, I owe some. Just got my first rig a coupla weekends ago and jumped it for the first time last weekend. Mirage G3 M4 , Cobalt 150. Finally a free-flyable rig, so now I just have to quit flipping around like a fish out of water and I can start sit-flying. (There was too much alcohol intake this weekend for jumping as it was my dad's 50th and Clemson beat FSU, plus when I went by Chester on my way back to school everyone decided to leave and they didn't have enough for an Otter load [bastards -- that was 2 hours out of my way]). :)

  21. Sweeet! I thought I was a google whore too, how did I not notice that new tool. Hey, check out news.google.com . Search for "skydiving" and then scroll to the bottom and sign up for a news alert on that word. It will send you one email a day for all the new news articles that are added about skydiving.

    no older than 40 and no younger than 21. I do have to say that I prefer older than 27 because guys younger than that generally are not into the family thing and just want to party and get as many girls as they can, but now I have seen that in older guys too, so as long as you are ready for a family and to be with just me. I don't share, and I wont be shared either.

    Hey there isn't anything wrong with sushi in SC. Never eat sushi in the Midwest! Where do you think they're getting their fish? I'm only 4 hours from the coast at school and 10 minutes at home.
