  1. Steve O also has no regrets. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  2. See the attached. Second time through, do the accordion to the other side and turn in the other direction. Stay close. Control the turns. Do not use the other person to stop. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  3. Nicely done. Looks like you could add some strategically placed pvc union fittings and make it easy to knockdown, transport, assemble if traveling to a boogie or other clustered event. Note the one shown is threaded. They do have unthreaded available. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  4. http://skydivebalaton.com/en/ http://www.skydivesicilia.it/ http://www.skydivealgarve.com/ I was bored. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  5. I don't have the heart to tell her. Anyone else want to take this one? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  6. Always enjoyed the old. Looking forward to the new. You said "any" feedback, right? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  7. With all that CO in there, that wouldn't have been very safe. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  8. Yep Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  9. http://goo.gl/forms/1sGplzCtbq I was bored. Looks like fun, though. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  10. And if you don't, where you going to put this? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  11. Determining grip discipline is a valuable option that is available during the dirt dive, but is often overlooked. It is common for people to go through the dirt dive and worry about the movement and not about the dock. Having someone paw at you during the jump after you picking up the grip all through the dirt dives is classic and rampant. During the dirt dive figure out the points where you could get your altimeter covered up and discuss it with the other jumper. And verbalize every grip if you have to, "I pick up your right arm and Pete picks up my left arm." Anticipate and avoid the problem before it happens. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  12. So if you are over 45, the only person you have to worry about intentionally killing you is yourself? I never did trust me. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  13. Does not ring of a skydiver. The terminology is askew. The headline says Skydiving Parachute, but the first thing they describe is the container. It is obviously more than just a "Skydiving Parachute." I think a skydiver would have said, container, main, and reserve parachutes for sale. We haven't described parachutes by panels or measured them by cubic inches in many a fortnight, which would be an analogous way of measuring time. Trying to sell it before an estate sale, found, bought at a garage sale, result of a divorce, some weird acquisition, but not for sale by a skydiver. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  14. Where there's a will, there's a way. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  15. Jumping right over ALS are we? [echo]Yet today I consider myself the luckiest skydiver on the face of this earth. [/echo] Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  16. Saving Private Ryan - School teacher mentors small band of young men on a backpacking trip through Europe to meet new friends Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  17. From this site: http://coinmill.com/BWP_calculator.html#BWP=1500 P400 = $35.48 US P1500 = $133.05 US Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  18. Kelly use to spin whenever they released her during AFF. Obvious nickname: Kellicopter. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  19. http://obits.pennlive.com/obituaries/pennlive/obituary.aspx?pid=177555433 Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  20. You've never been to a boogie before, have you? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  21. "You're going to have to repeat this jump." Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  22. Good choice. Ask for Dennis or Mike M as an instructor. You will not be sorry. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    Tampa, Florida

    Yes there is either a buttload or a pantload of skydiving in the Tampa AO depending on how you count and whether you use the metric system or not, but this is one of the reasons you want to move or at least visit Tampa. Their bloody mary comes with bacon in it. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  24. Heard on ESPN this am that there is an NCAA rule which allows teams from schools currently going to class to practice 20 hours a week. There is no limit for those teams where the school is not going to class. Clemson is going to class this week. 'Bama is not. Me thinks the Dean may determine the curriculum, but Nick sets the schedule. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  25. Nice song. Any problem with others downloading and using for a vid? I know the people I jump with will like it better than the time I used Babymetal. Thanks Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
