Pet would be dogs. Cant beat them IMO. Cats are cool too. After a day of jumping coming home and relaxing with my dog is perfect for me. She's so mellow and chill. Well a 125lb Akita I think I would be mellow and chill too. Land animal would be Tigers or all big cats. So beautiful and majestic. Pisses me off what we are doing to their habitat and how some people keep them as pets. Bastards. Ocean. Dolphins. If I could only swim as fast as them. Damn that would be fun.

DAMN 12gs + an extra 2g. Talk about spinal compression. I'll take that over going down with the plane any day. Thanks

Damn that was fast. Wonder how many G's the pilot is under when the ejection seat shoots out.

I dont have many but this one OMG. Coming back from the DZ about two weeks ago heading westbound on a freeway and it was bumper to bumper for a good 10 miles. Only to find there was a minor accident on the eastbond side and when I finally get up to the accident the car infront of me STOPS to take a look. I wish I couldve had a few dozen eggs just to pelt that car.

Still a student here so when I get my 'A' I'll pay attention to what the school/instructors do. If it gets too windy 14+ I'll just got kiteboarding. Wonder if anyone ever kited Elsinore.

How about using common sense for fuck's sake? I will not get onto an airplane if I'm impaired and I certainly won't get onto an airplane with someone else that I know to be impaired. Period. It's just that simple. I guess it's true, you really can over-analyze anything these days. Stick to the simple common sense answer and always try to err on the side of safety. You'll go further. A freaking men. IF you need to be stoned/impaired/buzzed or whatever to skydive or want to try it once like that, shit there is something really wrong with you. But like Kris said you cant over analyze things these days. I'm sure some have jumped while stoned or buzzed or whatever. I just wouldnt want to be anywhere near them. You're messing around with your life, mine and others at the DZ if you do decide to jump like that.

Chocolate fudge brownie, no wait chocolate chip cookie dough, damn no Cherry Garcia. Too many choices, but CFB is my favorite.

See you guys that weekend. Aggh I wish I could play hookie from work today and go there and jump a few times. While most of my co-workers talk about how they spent their weekend golfing all I can think about is the Otter and the view from 12.5K. See you this weekend though. Javier

And some people call skydivers insane.

Hey thanks everyone for posting. Once I get my 'A' I'll try each one to at least know what they're like. Also first on the list is a canopy class. After reading a bunch of posts on here and noticing that most incidents occur while under a canopy, I think it would be a wise choice to learn as much as possible about canopy control.

Just curious here as to what attracts you to the different disciplines in skydiving. For example RW's what attracts you to this area of the sport, same for free flyers, etc. I'm working towards my 'A' so I was just curious as to what each one has to offer and what is fun or you find fun about it. For me I what attracts me is skysurfing and I know that is like 300+ jumps away for me and one exp diver at my DZ said to first start free flying then transition. I would also really appreciate any comments from skysurfers out there too. Thanks, Javier

Count me in on Sat!

So true. Boss tore his ACL, PCL and the side ligament playing basketball. This happened last spring and he is still limping around. Poor guy.

AMEN. Finally someone that thinks she aint hot. IMO she's ugly, there are hotter girls out there. Hot to me is Cameron Diaz, Penolpy Cruz, etc. And to think they gave Paris a 2 million dollar plus modeling contract...PLEASE. How can you compare her with the likes of Crawford, Cambell, Niki Taylor, etc

Tried snowboarding once, lets put it this way my ass was hurting more from constantly falling down and whipe outs than from my first AFF jump. The one in which I flared way too high and did a modified PLF in which my ass took a good deal of the impact.

Anyone ever wonder if maybe he is paying some of these people to be there?

Did it once at a little over 5 min and 30 seconds. Fun game though. Tried it a second time and I suck, so guess it was luck.

Biggest one I've been in was El Salvador 1985, 7.6 mag. I will always remember the rumbling/roar noise I heard a few seconds before it started shaking. Then moved to Los Angeles and slept through the 1994 Northridge quake. My step dad waking me up scared the crap out of me though.

When are the darwins coming out for 2003?

Kiteboarding. Different kindof of 'high/rush' but still a hellof a lot of fun.

Aggie, Check out any chinesse herbalist shops. They can still carry ephedra which is used in a variety of remedies. Ma Huang is the name of the herb btw.

Tattoo has all the right advice, especially on eating all the time and also eating right. You can eat all day but if you eat crap all youre gonna gain is fat. Get your workout down, diet down, and REST. Then move onto suppliments. Check out that site too, nice place with lots of info. You also need to rest, if you dont give your body enough time to recoup youre going to end up overtrained and burnt out.

Do you guys feel anything? Like the stomach kreeping up on you feeling you get on a roller coaster. Also I always wondered how you got a raft out of the plane.

Nice Aff 5 and congrats. Love reading your posts too. Going up tomorrow to do level 8 this Sat, cant wait.

Hey congrats on finishing up aff 4! Hopefully, I'll see you out there one weekend.
