    Steel Cage Match?

    I'll go out on a limb and go for Jack. He did some crazy shit last night and there are two more hours of 24 tonight. NUR ZUM SPASS
  2. I agree with you Phree. Students are only students for so long and attention needs to stay on the training and learing the things that save our ass. NUR ZUM SPASS
  3. Heard of some DZ's having this rule and in light of the recent Media circus it seems to make sense. What are your thoughts????? NUR ZUM SPASS
  4. I agree to your statements but I will go a step further and put responsibility on this Boy Friend. If your home DZ grounds you for violating a rule, yu open your eyes and see why the fuck the rule was made in the first place. How many of us can get grounded and then convince an instructor to take us to another DZ--I dont think many! But a boyfriend/FJI combination is fucking wrong. If they were dating prior then let another instructor handle her through AFF. NUR ZUM SPASS
  5. WOW, its no wonder she was in a state of disbelief and shock. Now you should go buy the Ring. If I got my wife an Engagement PICTURE she would be shocked too. Just kidding. Best of wishes and congrats NUR ZUM SPASS
  6. Como on JT I think she was there at the Mesquite thanksgiving boogie year before last. How have ya been NUR ZUM SPASS
  7. My bad man it keeps shooting back over 100kb NUR ZUM SPASS
  8. I hope the Tatoos dont get me in trouble but here is my vote!!!!!! NUR ZUM SPASS
  9. Well this has nothing to do with condoms, but Smething to do with the NATIONAL CHAMPS!!!!!!! The game was an experience of a lifetime even at $400 a ticket. I welcome all you TEXANS to the ROSE BOWL to watch the threepeat! NUR ZUM SPASS
  10. If you have 5 days you will be looking good. Make you first early in the morning and go from there. dont force yourself to a certain amount of jumps in a day, it might take the fun away. Enjoy the Jump, learn if you did something wrong, and jump again WHEN YOU ARE READY. Dont forget Student gear can sometimes fuck with your body. I Remember having nice leg strap bruises from 4 jumps in a day on Student Gear. Good luck and see you there No Matter what you will enjoy yourself beyond belief and dont forget to NUR ZUM SPASS
  11. Like hook said People are People! its a part of life whether it is a DZ, or a classroom, or a church group, or an AA meeting, or a softball team, or any other micro group out there. It is a small slice of the bigger PIE, but it always tastes the same. Sounds like the "my DZ is the greatest place on earth" buzz is wearing off for you. Stay out of the mess and get in the air NUR ZUM SPASS
  12. I will locate the book and thanks for all the input. I understand that coaching is the way to go and plan on droping the $$ here soon. NUR ZUM SPASS
  13. i am sure Bush will keep that island afloat for a bit longer NUR ZUM SPASS
  14. 200 MILLION worth of cocaine????????? Maybe NOW the brits can pay back some of that money they owe us YANKS!!!!!!!! NUR ZUM SPASS
  15. Love the freeflying but the excitment for me comes on approach. I am flying the Pilot 150 and am happy with the size. A friend borrowed my rig and got a great swoop with nothing more than a good 90. I am not looking to downsize but would like to progress in the speed of my landings. Looking for a conservative approach to start swooping because I scared my self a few months back with a front riser turn on final that got me low. I hope you all can offer some help.. NUR ZUM SPASS
  16. Yes I will say she was careless but Attitude of the jumper plays a big part here! I think our community has to see the difference. In this case, it seems to be about a gap in the education that luckily did not have a tragic result. the "You didn't know you did'nt know" phrase is a part of life and it often can teach us great lessons. But in a sport like ours that has such small margins for error, does someone have to get 3 seconds away from death to learn???? NUR ZUM SPASS
  17. Dont know about the UK but Perris, a well known DZ instituted a grounding for cypress fires due to carelessness. NUR ZUM SPASS
  18. In discussing this with others I was amazed at the lack of understanding of an RSL by both those with and without one. NUR ZUM SPASS
  19. Details: jumper with 100+ jumps hard a hard pull went back for second attempt, again hard pull. She them pulled the cutaway ONLY and went back to position. Cypress fired, and she landed out safely. When asked about the dive and why she did NOT pull the reserve, she stated that she was waiting for her RSL to deploy the reserve. ???? She was spoken too by many on the ground. Question to all is: Is this a grounding situation? NUR ZUM SPASS
  20. I am sure the girl they showed on National TV wearing a cubs jersey with a SOX hat will be back next year. You would'nt see that in NYC of even in LA NUR ZUM SPASS
  21. I hear that loads of Cubs fans north of Madison are jumping south for a ride on the wagon NUR ZUM SPASS
  22. I was down at the theatre where these characters push for tips. If you even raise a camera up they swarm and give you the pressure speech that they want tips. I dont see a problem asking for a tip if they WORK for it, but they act like sharks are are preying on tourists. i had a little fun with them and was holding up my phone (Which does not even have a camera). The storm trooper put his hand over my phone and said I was not allowed to take pictures unless I offered a tip. Asshole that I am, I kept holding up my phone to the point that he and the Pirate were really pissed. Oh so much fun
  23. WELCOME to tthe sport!!! California would be a great place to get your "A". I got my "A" in four weekends(8 days at the DZ) but with the weather gods on my side. If you pick the right two weeks should not be a problem. Joshua tree National Park is very close to Perris and Elsinore. 10 freeway toward Palm Springs. Good luck NUR ZUM SPASS
  24. Dude----------PACK FASTER You would have beat the clouds!!!!!!!!!! patience is a part of the sport and there is always tomorrow. You will run into these type of days especially if there is any wind at your home DZ. Cloudy or windy days= time to hang with friends on the ground and talk about the sky. Good luck with your "A" NUR ZUM SPASS
