  1. Obviously, Bowie forgot about the Shatner version.
  2. I say we need a real world test. Oh, Rockyyyyyy. Come here, Rocky. Bullwinkle, have you seen Rocky? Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  3. ... and the location of START Skydiving. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  4. I wanted to put a naked 4-way together and call it "More Grips". I have not read that history! Where can I find it? Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  5. But naked jumping is safer! No clothes are going to get in the way of your handles. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  6. Rantoul '06 Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  7. OK, that has me thinking. Couple of questions. 1. Theoretically, could you cut off the current leg strap, and sew on a longer strap? Could it be done so that it is structurally as sound as the original leg strap? 2. If that is physically possible, why isn't it done? Void the TSO?

  8. I know that I can look it up, but in announcements of this kind it might be a good idea to state the location. Just sayin'. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  9. That probably wasn't a real gas station.
  10. No problem. I know this guy in Tijuana. You want an A-license, no problem. You need a visa, no problem. You want a medical degree, no problem. He'll print you up whatever you need. They don't call him "Pedro the Printer" because he's cute. On second thought, he may have problems with the high security, anti-counterfeit properties of the current USPA license document.

  11. "Common sense and common courtesy are NOT common." Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  12. Dollars to doughnuts (What does that mean, anyway?), the slider is getting away from the stops somewhere during the pack job. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  13. BAD idea. As a matter of fact, Naked jumping rule number 1 is to make sure NOTHING is beneath a leg strap. Why? . Because .... You can always cut away from a line-over. But you can't cut away from a nut-under! Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  14. Quote TO a person stuck in a tree. I was the first person to a student who decided to end her skydive about 30 feet above the ground. She was OK, but we had to wait a few minutes for other/more help to arrive. In making conversation I asked her, "Other than that, how did you like the play, Mrs. Lincoln?" It took her a second or two and then she broke out laughing. She was cool and even came back again, "to do it right".

  15. Yeah, but can she rub her tummy and pat her head at the same time? Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  16. There is no "slippery slope" here. It's coming to all newly manufactured cars in the US. Hell, it's already IN a lot of them. In the earliest days of automotive "black boxes", they were equipped with voice data recorders as well. In a vast majority of accidents, the words most uttered were, "Oh, shit!" ... Except of course, in the case of skydivers where the last words were, "Hold my beer and watch this!" Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  17. First On Race Day. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  18. Epic ! Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  19. Here is my winter jumping tip. Good gloves are mega-important but there is no law that says you have to freefall with your fingers outstretched. If you fly with your hands formed into fists, you will lose the radiator effect of having the wind blow through your digits. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  20. Here's a thread to brag about your 2012 statistics. Me: 176 Skydives 73 Naked (41%) 11 Drop Zones 5 States ... and this bridge in WV. Next .... Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  21. Just remember, the larger the bag, the more stuff you will end up carrying around. The smaller the bag, the less room you will have to accumulate. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  22. Plus one on this! When I had my last rig built, I had Mr. Booth and company add an ROL pouch to each legstrap. One of those pockets is for the cell phone when I'm jumping without any pockets. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving

  24. OK grammarphiles- I wrote an email with a bunch of instructions to someone. And the end of the email, I wrote the following: To quote Jean-Luc Picard, "Make it so." Are the quotation marks correct? On one hand, it is me giving instruction and therefore I don't think they belong. On the other hand, I'm directly quoting somebody so I think they do belong. Which one of me is correct? Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  25. My son does a lot of parkour. Some of it has a risk of injury. I worry about him. I don't think I could laugh at a video of him injuring himself. Getting hurt parkouring(?) would be the equivalent of you getting hurt skydiving. Breaking your back doing what Cuz did is the equivalent of jumping into a shark tank wearing a suit made out of tuna meat.
