    Butt Bungies

    Liz, your avatar is really cool. Pathetic attempt to stay on topic: I ordered a new Micron a few weeks ago...she'll be equiped with a "butt-bungee". The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!
  2. If I were more educated on it, I'd love to try it (once I get to 200 jumps). I think the thing is for a lot of us, we simply don't know anything about it, so (in a way) sort of fear it. If I could sit through a three-hour skysurfing seminar and really learn a lot about it, I'd probably be dying to try it when done. The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!
  3. The part I'm looking forward to is when our President comes on the TV and reminds us what a horrible day that was, and lets us know that the bad guys are still out there to get us, and that we need to be afraid of them, and that also we need to stay the course in Iraq because if we don't, the bad guys will kill us even more! I also hopes he raises the terror alert level! That would bring some excitement into my day! *Yawn* The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!
  4. This summer, I became the master of cool geek the pilot 182 exits (see avatar). My current favorite that I've done the last few times: Climb out, and swing yourself around onto the otherside of the strut. So you're facing the tail, with your feet on the step, but the rest of your body on the prop-side of the strut. As you let go, spread your legs really wide, and with your arms, grab onto the outside of your thighs...all while staring back up at the plane. It's cool as shit, I promise. I've got video of it I should try to upload. Good luck fellow 182 hop and popper! PS: Master the bat-hang if you haven't already. Pilots literally jerk off to watching that shit. So talk to your DZO, or just do it when he's not around or something. The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

  6. Betsy you are the shit. Bar none. The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!
  7. Check Check Hmm...you lost me there... The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!
  8. The Richmond Boogie rocked!! I got to jump with some of the best skydivers in the world. Very cool experience. And I even got to witness canopycandy's first cutaway.
  9. Nice video Clay. It's cool that you didn't put any footage of our jump together in there. I see how it is. (Yeah, yeah...broken camera....*yawn*) The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!
  10. :12:1 12 really amazing jumps at the Richmond Boogie. Got to do three jumps with Rook Nelson, including my first tracking dive (22 people!). Learned a ton. Very cool boogie! The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!
  11. A buddy of mine was involved in what could have been a serious incident today: Three-way feet-fly. Normal exit, everything is going pretty well. I fly up to my friend John, get pretty close....close enough that I'm confident I'll be able to dock on him in a couple seconds once I get my shit together. Suddenly, I notice John's container has opened, and his bag is flopping around above his head. His beaming smile lets me know that he has no clue of the problem. Not wanting to get tangled up in the lines that are flopping around, the other jumper and I begin to backtrack away from John. Right about the time I realize I should give him the pull signal, by some miracle, his pilot chute wiggles it's way out, and fully deploys his main around 9 grand. My Neptune had me going 155 mph at 9,000, and I was flying right in front of John. Needless to say, he's got a mild case of whiplash. The look on his face was priceless when that thing started to slow him down. John jumps a very non-freefly friendly rig. It's an old Eclipse (which are no longer made). A few people have said things to him before about freeflying in that rig, but it happens anyway. I'm pretty sure he's done doing that now though. Sometimes you gotta learn the hard way I guess. Lesson to be learned? Ask your rigger or someone you trust if your rig is okay to be freeflying in, if it's not...don't do it. Freeflying is fun, but so is living...get a better rig when you can afford one. What else?? The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!
  12. Not that I know the first damn thing about either of these two disciplines, but I'd see him getting injured swooping a lot sooner than attempting a tandem. Just my 2 cents. The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!
  13. Exactly. I can name off ten people who could have been at CrossKeys yesterday maybe only one or two of whom anyone would call me if something happened to them. I know what you're saying. Like, I'm sitting here hoping to God it's not someone I know, but the bottom line is, someone is dead. It shouldn't matter if I knew them or not. The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!
  14. Does anyone else get that sick-to-their-stomach feeling when there's a fatality and the name isn't released right away? Granted I haven't been in this sport long, but I've jumped at 7 different dropzones in 4 states, and all I can think is, "what if that was one of my friends". I already know it was one of my brothers. Stay safe this weekend guys. Happy Friday. The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!
  15. Eat a lot of nuts and eggs, if you don't consider eggs a meat (which they kind of are). I don't see why you couldn't eat eggs if you're doing this because of the killing of animals. If you're dropping meat because you just don't want to eat any meat at all....then I guess eggs are out too. Also, although it's primarily only known as something that guys who are weightlifting take, go to GNC and pick up some Whey Protein Powder. Like 20 or so grams of protien per serving, which would definetly help supplement your diet. Good luck. And remember: For every animal you don't eat, I'm going to eat three.

  16. That's cool. The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!
  17. I have done it, and it's on video too! I do some open mic night stuff at the clubs in Indy on occasion. It's exhilerating. The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!
  18. No way. To me, money is a very small part of being wealthy on this earth. The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!
  19. Nice post Clay. Glad that dude saw your pull-up cord. I'd imagine landing a Vengence is a lot more fun than landing a PD-R after a total. Sorry we won't see you at Richmond this weekend. PEACE! The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!
  20. ...and I couldn't be happier. The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!
  21. Lisa this sucks! Maybe I don't want to move to Florida as bad after all. GRR to the hurricane!! Here's hoping you return safely to find all your belongs exactly how you left them. Giddyup! The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!
  22. *Shameless Bump* Hey...people...for the love of God, you can't tell me there's only going to be like 4 of us at Richmond. Who Else?!?!? Alanab CanopyCandy Chrissay Kramer Vallerina The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!
  23. Bill, I have a feeling that ten years from now (if I'm still jumping, God willing), I will look back and say that one of my favorite jumps was the jump I did with you at Skydive Greene County on my 28th jump. You're a good person. I hope that your retiring from skydiving does not include your disappearing from this message board, and dropzones around the world. God bless you and yours. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!
  24. "DID YOU SEE A SIGN THAT SAID DEAD N**GER STORAGE?" "Nah man...I didn't see no sign" "THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S NOT THERE, 'CAUSE STORIN DEAD N**GERS AIN'T MY F**KING BUSINESS!" The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!
