  1. Gee I wonder what Shah's opinion would be? He knows a lot about this stuff.
  2. Sell the RV. The problems you encounter by not having one will cost less than problems you will encounter by keeping it.
  3. I always say "If you can't land your canopy in front of the pop machine at the dz like you're in Mt. Dew commercial, then you're not ready to downsize yet."
  4. Keep this in mind: Many people get hurt at the dz when they are not jumping. You will also lose more skydiving friends from other causes like cancer, suicide, motorcycles, cars, violence, etc. The moral of the story is: Live and love however you want, but try to be safe so you can keep doing it.
  5. Chopped my Samurai 150 on wing suit jump#23. Loaded at 1.6 It was the 2nd chop for that canopy in 800 jumps. Lost the freebag/pilot chute and had to take a Monday plane ride to find the main. Done wing suiting until I have a wing suit friendly kit.
  6. What about the Go Fast jet pack guy? Biggest balls ever... every time he hits the throttle.
  7. Just teasing you, man. Thanks for sharing the experience with us.
  8. Almost every female news anchor on CNN and Fox News has some sort of facial surgery so they look like hungry rock stars. Ladies please. You looked great before all that. Now you look like Steven Tyler, whose face was meant for radio.
  9. Clothing choice indicates possible hypoxia before he put the rig on.
  10. No. You're just going to have to do it again. Look for the HUGE wingspan in your face. It takes up the whole screen on the video.
  11. My grandpa used to say "There are more horses asses than there are horses."
  12. What do you think inspired the help with the groceries? Her shoes?
  13. So the wingsuit world record for freefall time... what's up with that? I thought that was the longest free fall.
  14. I'm in disbelief that jumpers are telling him not to jump until the kids are grown. If he didn't have kids, they would be telling him it's safer than a drive to the dz. Yea do it etc. How many skydivers do you know that have kids are some of the most dangerous ones on the dz? Do they tell them to quit jumping?
  15. Yep the sky will not always be there. Sometimes there's 6 feet of dirt in the way.
  16. They were 30 minutes late? It depends how hungry YOU are.
  17. Dude you missed the coolest view ever by not looking up immediately after exit. The coolest thing is: Nobody has ever said it wasn't worth the money. And..... I got my ride for $10 in a raffle. Glad they are still offering this rare experience. We are a huge hazard to those planes, so let's keep it careful up there, everyone.
  18. With the right canopy choice, wind speeds, and pull altitude, I don't mind too much about being a little off on the spot these days. Putting a gallon of fuel in the air per jumper, bothers me more.
  19. ..And how does the camera gal know if she's getting shot by a 2 finger gun or if she's getting the pull sign? edit to add: " No. YOU pull!"
  20. Can we ban the word "boyfriend" from your posts? He's getting on my nerves.
  21. Not to be Shah, but what woman doesn't make a man want to jump out of a freaking plane once in a while?
  22. This hasn't caused any incidents yet, so it's as safe as a hoodie.
  23. I'm not going to vote this time. The risk of dying in a car accident on the way there is greater than any benefit from voting. Also, I have never picked a winner in any election. And I just got screwed again by the legal system yesterday. I'm going to bury my head in the sand and let everyone else worry about shit. Sorry everyone, but the corruption of government has made me jaded. And no, USPA I'm not voting in the wingsuit rating thing. The drama there is bullshit too.
