my point exactly...you have to make an effort to persuade them otherwise, but it does not always work. Nick. Those who dance, are cosidered insane by those who can't hear the music.

The banned comment was more wishful thinking No, I don't want people to choose canopies based on their ego....but they will, weather you want them to or not. People do stupid things, it sucks, and they give the sport a bad name when they hurt/kill themselves or others, but it still happens. Edit: If someone REALLY wants to get a HP canopy and load it to god knows what, they will, one way or another. I am just saying I don't think it is the sellers resposibility. At least not anywhere beyond "Hey man, you are gonna hurt yourself with this, maybe you should try something different." Nick.

I think that when you buy gear and jump it, its your own ass. As long as you don't endanger other people, go ahead, let your ego choose your canopy. You will probably get shit about it if its a poor choice, and may even be banned from jumping at a DZ. I do not think that if you bought your grear from a private party, that they should carry any responsibility. A rigger, or manufacturer...maybe. Just my 2 cents Nick.

This will be my first WFFC, and I want to contribute to the cause!. I will bring something...other than myself of course Maybe something to fill the fridge with Nick. Those who dance, are cosidered insane by those who can't hear the music.

Seeing as I just got out of a serious relationship....here is mine 1. Is Trustworthy and loyal.(very important) 2. Can hold a good conversation. 3. Can make decisions, and stick to them. 4. Takes care of herself. 5. Likes to go out for nice dinners and such. 6. Nice figure (see#4) 7. Is NOT the cookie-cutter abercrombie chick! 8. Good in bed(read: not boring)....duh EDIT: Needs to like, or at least accept me skydiving. Or of course skydive herself! And probably a few other things that I haven't discovered yet. Nick.

front risers maybe? lol Nick. Those who dance, are cosidered insane by those who can't hear the music.

MORE HYDROCODONE!!!! No really, hope both of you get better quick! Nick. Those who dance, are cosidered insane by those who can't hear the music.

Find Herself my ass......no way dude. Tell her that now, you need to find yourself....find yourself someone who won't just run off Nick. Those who dance, are cosidered insane by those who can't hear the music.

Do they offer tuition aid? Ah crap... I'll pay, where do I sign up? Nick. Those who dance, are cosidered insane by those who can't hear the music.

Attention Single Girls.... Nick here needs some love also! I guess to correct my #s :7:0 Nick. Those who dance, are cosidered insane by those who can't hear the music.

Call me ignorant, but what is the first # in 0:0:0? I had 7 great jumps, and no beer Nick. Those who dance, are cosidered insane by those who can't hear the music.

Agreed....those damn liars! I voted both also. Nick. Those who dance, are cosidered insane by those who can't hear the music.

Is there a recomended # of regular skydiving jumps before getting into base? Any other things one should consider? Just wondering. Thanks Nick. Those who dance, are cosidered insane by those who can't hear the music.

Fuckin A. Good answer wrongway Nick. Those who dance, are cosidered insane by those who can't hear the music.

Anyway....I was really just bored and asked the question... I do get advice from all the Is at ASC (I they prolly get tired of me, thats how much I ask). Thanks for the input anyway tho Nick. Those who dance, are cosidered insane by those who can't hear the music.

I have been playing with my front risers a lot..Hard turns, dives and such, up high of course. Can anyone tell me if there is something I should try with them or practice? I can make the canopy dive and turn HARD with these....anything else? Some trick I am missing out on? Nick. Those who dance, are cosidered insane by those who can't hear the music.

Sounds like my situation exactly. Thanks for the reply, that was very insightful. And also thanks for the offer on the drink... Damn jonege, that must have been hard, having someone lead you on like that, I could never do that to someone....never. Nick. Those who dance, are cosidered insane by those who can't hear the music.

Stefan....I meant my rig...MIRAGE, get it? EDIT: I bought her a tandem once....but other than that, no she does not jump. Nick. Those who dance, are cosidered insane by those who can't hear the music.

She hangs out with him all the time...they have known each other for 6 years...It sound like she sees him as a friend, but he wants something more.....we'll see what happens. If she really wants this to work, then I will hear from her one day. I feel as though she thinks she cannot lose me to someone else. Nick. Those who dance, are cosidered insane by those who can't hear the music.

I don't really think that is the issue anymore. I feel we have gotten past all that, but she insists on us doing this, and how it is the best idea right now. I just think she has other reasons.... I am not usually paranoid, but i have this feeling. He has told me before that he had feelings for her, they dated for a week before me and her got together...go figure. Whatever...I just need to get over it and go to the dz this weekend, party and jump my ass off Nick. Those who dance, are cosidered insane by those who can't hear the music.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Nick. Those who dance, are cosidered insane by those who can't hear the music.

Thanks all...this stuff really does help. I am still talking to her, and yes she does the "I love you" thing... and somehow I still believe her. I have no direct proof of anything ever happening. You are right, I should cut my losses. My "friend" has become distant also. Oh well.... Thing do happen for a reason. Any skydiving chick looking for a good time? Just kidding! This is why I love the skydiving community...THANK YOU! Nick. Those who dance, are cosidered insane by those who can't hear the music.

I have a new girlfriend anyway....see I've been cheating on my ex with this girl Mirage. She has all kinds of handles Nick. Those who dance, are cosidered insane by those who can't hear the music.

I'll buy...

Hey all, I posted a few weeks ago about me having problems with the girlfriend and us going on a "break". Well, she still insists that she wants things to "work out" between us. I can't take this tourture anymore. There are underlying reasons for her doing this, I just know it. I am sorry to vent to you all, but my "best friend" is the other part to this equation if you catch my drift. Is this ever going to get better? I have had breakups, but none have hurt this bad... not even close. Going to the dz helps, but I can't go all the time. Its so pathetic, I don't eat hardly and can't sleep... life can be such a bitch sometimes. I am usually not one to complain, but this has taken every last bit of my sanity..... At this point I just want to get over it and stop hurting. Anyone want to go drink with me? Nick. Those who dance, are cosidered insane by those who can't hear the music.
