Come on out to Ohio! I would love to give it a shot. (We are talking belly flying right?)

Well, in that case; Pineapple Upside down cake Rum cake Cheesecake Hmmmm I'm wondering. Should I time my 100th jump for that day as well? That might be tough since I only have 23 to go. It would require self control to do that. Not sure I got it. That would limit me to 5 jumps per week! What should I do? Maybe this requires a seperate thread with a poll . . .

Don't worry........lay down for a few minutes and the nausea will pass. Thank God cause I was not sure I would be able to hold my lunch.

I did something very similar this weekend. The jumper I did it to, came to me and told me. I was not even aware I did it. I was sure I checked around me before spiraling down. Thank God he saw me and thank God he came to me and told me later. I was sick to my stomach over it. But he was kind and just wanted to make sure I was more aware. It was tough having someone come up to you and say "You F'ed up there." but I am glad he did. I am glad he handled it kindly and not heated even if he was heated inside (and rightfully so).

I wholeheartedly agree hear. It is part of the human condition for someone to rant about what I might do being bad, while in the proccess doing the very same thing through the rant. People who do not believe can only accept that we who do, believe from a position of weakness and that is sad. You may not want to be preached to about the bible, but I do not want to be "preached" to about how stupid and pathetic I must be to, "want" or "need" God in my life. I believe, because I believe. I believe because somewhere in my life somehow I saw something that made my faith make sense. Whether it be a word, or a miracle, or just soemthing I saw, matters not. All that matters is that I believe, that in and of itself makes me neither stupid nor week. What I do with my life and how I treat others and how I live. Those things matter. You may be un-Christian, Un-Religious, Un-believing. That is fine with me. Many of my friends are. And they all know where I stand on certain issues. If you can accept me, and hang with me, even though we disagree on religion, faith, biblical or social issue, then that is all that matters. Because I can certainly do the same. I do not have to agree with someone just to be friends with them. You want to hang out with me, jump, enjoy the sky, the weather and God's creation (even if you say it is not God's) I am cool with that. Let's jump, eat, be merry and enjoy the times we can together. I won't push my beliefs on you if you do not push your un-beliefs on me.

Bwahahahahahaaaa! I was kidding. No cake necessary. Just trying to shamelessly point out that that Saturday is my Birthday.

I had a dream I sat around the dropzone naked . . . it was not pretty. (Yes I am aware that some of you do this, but I wouldn't so it was a pretty weird dream for me.

I'm gonna go with no on this one.

I'm all about those yummy potatoes you make!! I could make a meal out of those.

Sweet SKYMAMA"S back in the AIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You got a PM. And my numbers Nunyah (as in nunyah business):6:1

I would have grabbed the closest thing with any real weight to it and smashed the closest guy NOT on the bike in the skull. Then looked at the other two and asked which one wanted to accompany their friend on the ambulance and which one wanted to apologize for touching my bike? Or I maight have gone to their car and sat on the hood with my leather and snaps and wallet chain and seen their reaction when I slid off it, taking a layer of paint with me. Or I would ask them for their names and addresses and told them "because I want to go mount your girls without your permission like you mounted my bike." when they asked why. But then, I come from a family or bikers and grew up around biker clubs, so I may not be the BEST person to ask when it comes to people messing with another man's bike. Actually had a few kids in the neighborhood got caught sitting on my bike by the the neighbor last year. The police came and said that there is no law saying you cannot sit on someone's motorcycle without their permission. Unless they A.) Had to remove a bike cover to get on it or break into a trailer or garage. B.) Moved it . . . even an inch C.) Caused any sort of damage. D.) Did not get off it once you told them to get off it. I had to deal with the problem myself, which required no small amount of deception and creativity to make sure it never happened again. But it worked.

You have far more self control than I have.

HEY I JUST NOTICED SOMETHING! THis party is going on the 29th 30th and 31st of May! The 29th is my 33rd Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a kick ass way to spend my B-day!!!!!!!!!

I just started doing this exact thing this weekend. It really does seem to help. As far as the openings go, however, once I got it figured out that my deployment was unstable I have been better controlled on opening. Plus my Hornet 230 does not give me very tough openings anyway. (Unless it deploys early )

As Far as Life Insurance is concerned: There is a thread in this particular forum: Life Insurance Thread. Read the whole thread I did some research through my agent. Health Insurance? I just found out my OSU Medical will not cover Skydiving. So If I get injured in this sport someone needs to drive me to a farm and make it look like I fell of a roof or something to get my medical covered? Have not figured out a solution to this one yet, but I am looking.

Mine will say "Rejected"

You Got your A! The Other Day! I missed the beer I'm sad to say "I fall real fast" I heard you say But you fell too slow YES-TER-DAY! ARCH!!!! ARCH!!!! ARCH!!! All the way You'll fall faster The anvil way!. Great jumping with ya bro! Hope to see you this weekend. Plan on jumping with ya some more if your up (or can get DOWN!) to it!

230-ish. Sorry fellas but I do not break the 250 mark, but I bet balls to barrels I could could keep up with any of ya.

I can definitely say BodyFlight does not hate skydivers

I see some sig lines and other derogatory remarks about the 45 degree rule. Then when I ask what the seperation is I hear people who say use the 45 degree rule. Why the discreprency? Tell us how you voted and why . . . please.

You could die playing badminton. Yeah if I filled the damn thing with dynamite or a 747 crashed into you while you where watching the birdie.

That song is hysterical!

If done right skydiving test your mental and physical capabilities to do it any good. There are TEAMS who COMPETE to be the BEST in each discipline. You can be injured or killed, and yes if we wanted to we could absolutely keep statistics of win/loses injuries, etc. And we could start gambling on it. And yes it was absolutely in the X Games on ESPN. So none of THEIR arguments hold any water. Then you take into account Philly Kev's post on the Webster's of sport and there is your argument. Just because they do not succumb to your superior definition and intellect does not mean you are losing. It just means 1.) They are too dumb to realize they lost the argument. and 2.) Too scared to ever skydive and therefore feel inferior to you and your cajones and therefore feel the need to bash your sport. hehehehehee

Depends on how much is in coffee/tea/Guinness.

I just watched my 16 year old daughter drive off for her first dance. It breaks my heart that she is growing up so quickly. I bought her a beautiful dress and had some alterations done and paid for her hair, nail (hands and toes), and make-up. I must admit that she looked absolutely stunning!
