How good were you as a newbie
jackwallace replied to wmw999's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I sucked, sucked, sucked. Spinning, tumbling through the sky. Parachutes opening between my legs, snaking past me on ever side and angle. Hitch hiking back from landing so far out. BUT I never stopped smiling or gave up. Six months, I did my first demo. Year later, running the DZ, teaching other fools and at the Nationals with my D. That's 45 years ago. Now days they'd probably give me the bowling speech. U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through. The rest are just filler. scr 316 -
So did you sign off that little jump for that kid, so it would be legit? U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through. The rest are just filler. scr 316

There's a yoga place at the Deland DZ, and about a mile away is Soft Tails, strip joint. There moto is" 24 pretty girls and one ugly one". She could get a job and pay for your trip.

Have you ever met Richy? The guy that does the wall of fire. He owned/flew the Beech at the Freak Bros in Bigfoot. Sam who works with him has a bunch of records in a Q2 he built in his basement and was on the DC3 that crashed at the Richmond Nationals. So be careful telling jump stories around those guys.

Skydiving correlated with criminality?
jackwallace replied to kallend's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
What do you mean skydivers aren't criminals. They'll steal your slot, your beer and your girl. Not to mention the horrible things they'll do with your sheep. U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through. The rest are just filler. scr 316 -

As long as you change the oil, and check the tires, along with the other recommended maintenance, it will be fine. U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through. The rest are just filler. scr 316

My brain just spins with puns. Do they have to change the bumper stickers to: It takes leather Ball to play rugby. Nut_s Will they give it back to him to use as a key fob? Its not even spring.

Use the search. There's a lot about it. Some things you need to print out and take with you. If done properly, its not a problem. U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through. The rest are just filler. scr 316

Went out to visit my friends that ran Outward Bound. They were just wild to throw 50 lb packs on their backs and go hike. I worked construction for a living, did they think I was nuts. I grabbed a bag of Oreo's. When the bag got half empty I turned back. U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through.

Back when I was jump mastering. I would have reluctant students once in a while. I'd have them look down at the swimming pools, green lawns, bar-b-que smoke in the subdivision near the airport. I'd tell them that's as good as those folks lives are ever gonna' get. U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through.

Let's see they talk about Jesus, honey bo, bo, and bad words everyday where you work. Do they do any work? Long ago and far away. I got a job sweeping floors in a place. Worked my way up to number 2 guy in the company. Thousand people worked there. I quit, because I wanted to go on vacation, and the BOD said I needed to be there. As I left the meeting someone ask, what kind of a vacation was so important, that I would give up all this stuff. National parachute championships, I told them. Stunned silence. No one there, ever knew I jumped. U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through. The rest are just filler. scr 316

And so the door has been opened. The FAA has taken control of regulating jumping. How will USPA justify its existence now? U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through. The rest are just filler. scr 316

7 years is a long time for a rod to try to be removed. Screws can be taken out when they are that old, but I doubt a rod. The bone grows around it. Mine have been in over 25 years and I've been told after two you couldn't remove them. Some one here smarter than me can tell you more, but I think Ti and stainless are nonreactive metals. Meaning they don't combine with other stuff normally. So that's why they put it in you. I have signs of fatigue, but its cause I'm old and had way too much fun. Maybe your buddy has that, or maybe he should go see a doctor. Its their job. U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through.
