Yep, 10 years and 1000 jumps. We play for keeps around here.

Log books, Iphowns, Protracks, don't prove anything. If a dzo wants to know what I know, he/ she can ask me questions, put me in a hanging harness, or hook me up to a lie detector. I don't take pictures, I don't log, and rarely even look at my protrack. I don't look back. If you don't trust me and don't want me to jump at your dz because I can't produce a decent log book....then can I buy a log book and a few pens? Or should I take my money elsewhere?

So the guy with the fake log book gets to jump while the guy like me with actual talent and experienceisn't trusted. Great. Gotta love logic sometimes. Oh my log book is on the internet ...so it has to be true.

I think it would be funny to pull out a book containing pictures of your biggest logs. Walt Apple style.

I'm in to win, but really I'm just glad to know 2 of the coolest people in skydiving. That's winning right there. Now if I could just meet you two in person someday soon...

It was the year I was born and a lesson I was taught my first year in the sport 18 years later....a lesson that has saved a lot of lives in 44 years.

I know. And if your vision is bad, you hear shit first anyway.. My ribbonish story: Skydive Chicago....246 way. I had 18 jumps and enough money to get there and back from Michigan. I told the gate keeper that I was experienced and just coming to watch and maybe buy a helmet. He let us in. From take off until everyone landed, I had goose bumps like never before. The rush of that much fabric is very loud. And 240+ canpoies opening made it THE coolest thing I ever saw and heard in my life. And I've seen and heard a lot cool shit. Ok take the excitement of Bridge Day and multiply it by 240 and then condense it down to one short moment. Oh and I didn't buy a helmet. I bought the whole sport.

Great, this is my big chance to get Rachel to marry me. Yes even if I have to act gay to get the job.

This stuff costs $25-100 a minute to learn. Visualization is free. If Janice Joplin can still sell records, you can probably be trained to sing opera. Visualization helped me pass AFF. Now I do free "swoops" in my head when I think about the dz and different wind directions. I visualize beautiful women wanting me, but since they know I can't afford/ will not put up with their bullshit, then they will instead have to visualize what they are missing.

Don't tell me you used to be a stripper too.

I quit watching TV at about age 13 when "3's Company" started getting too predictable. The only thing I can watch now is "The Price Is Right" and "How It's Made".

Pull your main and reserve higher like your life depends on it.

quote from movie introductions.... "and she is the only one with a vagina."

Just because someone works for, or with the government, doesn't mean they know Jack Squat. It just means they THINK they know everything.

Good job. Nice photos, description of events, and posting on the internet.

How ya doin, Bolas?

Moab, Utah. Twin Falls, Idaho. Florida. California. A lot of people from countries you mention, go to the above places to do what you want to do. Why? More bang for the buck.

Just chill on the donuts Mr. 2.75 WL. Make a goal to get the WL down to when you bought that canopy. Skydiving saved and made your life what it is. Take a break. Lose some weight. Hit the gates of the pond instead of the gates of heaven or hell. Oh and the sky will not always be there. That big blue thing is falling fast.

Dude you're not alone. Stupid and/or inconsiderate people piss you off. You let them know. Now you're the bad guy. The sky is the only cure I know. Find peace in the sky. There are less idiots and douche bags up there. Smoking is better than climbing the tower. Exercise as much as you can. I'd make a shrink retire in two visits. So I can't help ya there.

Like a skydiver on a cloudy day, I'm sure you can relate to this movie. If you have enjoyed watching Nitro on TV, you'll like this movie a lot. You'll laugh, squirm, and maybe a tear of joy. Because you know why they do what they do. Two thumbs up. Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxTuEC8RMzE

Some rental canopies just plain suck for landing. Switching gear all the time will turn you into a "test" jumper. You learn to fly whatever you have on your back, the best you can, by doing everything you know. Will you learn this way? Yes Will it take longer? Maybe, but you will be more well rounded with your abilities. So renting a lot of gear isn't bad, but it may be time to find your very own stuff. Keep watching everyone land and see what they could have done to improve their landings. Most don't finish the flare. Time your landings so your flare is finished just before you touch the ground. The perfect landing is a controlled stall/crash just before touch down. The speed of the flare is all up to you to decide on each jump. Sometimes lifting the legs and adding all the flare you have is the ticket. Sometime this will make you pop up too high. Being timid on landing will get you hurt. Be confident and smart.

Way cuter than me and 'ski.
