  1. The language is called "Jumpinese". Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  2. Perhaps you would like to rephrase ?? Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  3. I LIKE that !! OK if I use it? Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  4. Welcome to the club !! Speaking of which, why isn't there a nekkid jumping organization? Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  5. The "psycho" part comes from when you lay it down. You intentionally flip the canopy 180 degrees, laying it down with the seam up. Looked pretty psychotic at first. Of course, that flip gets reversed later in the pack job. The psycho pack is also known as the "Happy Smurf Pack" for those who think "psycho" is a little harsh. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  6. First look at your pack job before you start rolling. Is the slider securly held in place by the tail? Is it tight or is there room for it to slip out? Then, when you do the actual roll, make a nice tight "core" with the material closest to the bag. As you roll, don't pull up with the thumbs. This is the action that wants to pull the tail away from the slider. Instead, grab the roll firmly and rotate it toward the slider. At first, take your time. Roll slowly and watch what action causes the tail to start sliding underneath, then stop it. One of the beauties of the Psycho Pack is that you can take your time and make sure each step is right. If it isn't, back up a step or two. You WILL get the hang of it. Then you will be able to pack just about any canopy with ease.

  7. (From "Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Clause"} Those Polar Bear types are crazy! I would never jump into that water. I'd do a nekkid skydive and land on the ice next to them, but going into that water would be plain nuts ! Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  8. With your avatar and screenname, I'm a bit curious about your winter jumping habits. and your use of the word "taint" It's a word I heard my grandmother use LONG before I even heard the "medical" definition. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  9. With your avatar and screenname, I'm a bit curious about your winter jumping habits. Let's just say that the temperature doesn't stop me from doing my thing. And yes, Virginia, shrinkage is a real issue. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  10. Nah, they have that warm weahter thing going on there. 'Taint the same. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  11. The drop zone opens at 7:00 AM tomorrow (Friday). AccuWeather predicts the temp to be 15 F (-9 C). Yeeeeeee haaaaaa !! Winter jumping is here! All we are missing is a good snow cover. Really kids, it's OK to jump in the winter. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  12. It was 8 years. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  13. Check with your local blood donating place again. Mine recently changed the rules. I dutifully sat out the requisite year only to find out that they now are not concerned about tattoos applied by a licensed facility.

    Sniff dog

    SNIFFER A man had just settled into his seat next to the window on the plane when another man sat down in the aisle seat and put his black Labrador Retriever in the middle seat next to the man. The first man looks very quizzically at the dog and asks why the dog is allowed on the plane. The second man explained that he is a DEA agent and that the dog is a "Sniffing dog." His name is Sniffer and he's the best there is. I'll show you once we get airborne, when I put him to work." The plane takes off, and once it has leveled out, the agent says: "Watch this." He tells Sniffer to "search." Sniffer jumps down, walks along the aisle, and finally sits very purposefully next to a woman for several seconds. Sniffer then returns to its seat and puts one paw on the Agent's arm. The agent says, "Good boy", and he turns to the man and says : "That woman is in possession of marijuana, so I'm making a note of her seat number and the authorities will apprehend her when we land." "Say, that's pretty neat" replies the first man. Once again, the agent sends Sniffer to search the aisles. The Lab sniffs about, sits down beside a man for a few seconds, returns to its seat, and this time, he places TWO paws on the agent's arm. The agent says, "That man is carrying cocaine, so again, I'm making a note of his seat number for the police." "I like it!" says his seat mate. The agent then told Sniffer to "search" again. Sniffer walked up and down the aisles for a little while, sat down for a moment, and then came racing back to the agent, jumped into the middle seat and proceeded to poop all over the place. The first man is really grossed out by this behavior and can't figure out how or why a well-trained dog would act like that, so he asks t he agent "What's going on?" The agent nervously replied, "He just found a bomb!" Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving

    Risk

    At least they aren't picking on us ........... this time. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  19. I have no idea what you are talking about. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  20. Then in a later book, Dr. Peter talked about something called "creative incompetence". Basically, if you are a good mechanic and don't want to be promoted to foreman, be a great mechanic, but be rotten at the paperwork. "Damn, he's good with a wrench, but he can't spell. He'll never make foreman." With me, my reviews all have words such as "perfect", "incomparable", and "above all expectations", until it comes to "housekeeping". Then, not so much. Oh well, I'll never get promoted out of the cushy little job world I've created for myself. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  21. Common sense and common courtesy are NOT common. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  22. There is an infamous video of a German dude who has some serious flapping going on. But, for us normal folk, the flappable parts aren't in the direct wind stream. Like the way your chest altimeter doesn't flap around. I do notice more action when I am tracking. Then the wind stream is more horizontal across the face of my body. If you are using duct tape or anything else then you aren't nekkid. I've never had a problem or any discomfort on any of my nekkid jumps. Then, of course, there is the "turtle effect" ........

  23. Then there are some of us who believe that not only do you not need to wear a jumpsuit, you don't have to wear any clothing at all !! Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  24. Are we talking air speed or ground speed? Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  25. On either Raymond or King of Queens, the producer is Kathy YUSPA. Gotta be a skydiver. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
