    Point Break

    The movie dropzone was more my generations point break. I saw it when I was younger and thought skydiving would be fun. That thought got lost in the back of my mind as I was several years from actually being able to skydive. Later when friends talked about wanting to go out and jump I instantly thought about the movie and how much fun it looked like it would be. I ended up making my jump about a month later and am right around 100 now. Skydiving isn't something that is just on your average whuffos minds. They never even think about it unless they see a parachute flying or see it in a movie or something. They see the movie and google skydiving and then bam they are on the phone scheduling that tandem.

  2. what is the helicopter?????? .. It is much easier to demonstrate than explain. Basicly a man just moves his hips so that his penis spins around to resemble the blades of a helicopter. The ladies love it! Greenie in training.
  3. I fixed it for you. If you consider that an adverse effect on your life I feel sorry for you when something really bad happens. I equate that to a child crying because he isnt allowed to have a cookie before dinner.You can equate it to whatever you want, it is still cause and effect. Had she not acted the way she did, those pictures would still be hanging on my wall and provide me with enjoyment throughout my day instead of a headache. Tell me how she abused it any more so than someone who gets hurt in any other way. Is this where you preach about it being her choice to skydive? Blame the system, not the recipient.No, I do however believe it was her choice to skydive without insurance for her or her baby. I actually had at least 15 people ask me about it my first day back at work after it aired on the local news, if you include colleagues. Since then it slowly tapered off, but initially it was pretty much everyone who came in my office that had not been in it before. When it all blows over the pictures will come out of my drawer and go back up on the wall. That might not seem like a big deal to you but that is an everyday effect on my life even if you choose not to acknowledge it. Greenie in training.
  4. Boo hoo, you have got to be fucking kidding me? I feel so bad for you. Now how about telling me how it really affected your life? And I am not referring to the miniscule childish shit you mentioned above.Learn to read and understand the language, I had to modify something in my life because of her. That is an effect unless the definition has changed since the last time I checked. Write your local fucking congressman and then perhaps take that issue to speakers corner.Disability is there for a reason, and I have no problem that it is offered. I have a problem with people who abuse it. Perhaps you should be bitching and moaning about the people that gave her money?Gladly, anyone who gave her money is allmost as much to blame for her behavior as she is. My response was childish?

  5. Easily the best post in this thread. He subtly used the incorrect last name to show that he doesn't give a shit who she is. Then totally scored points by traveling forward in time 40 years to get a picture of exactly what she will look like. Greenie in training.
  6. Several of the people that have posted either jump at the DZ she made her first jump at where her boyfriend was a staff instructor, or at the dz where the incident happened. It did have an effect on our lives, WE have to hear this shit day in and day out from whuffos. I had to take down all my skydiving pictures in my office at work because I was sick of everyone that came in for an interview/meeting asking if I knew her and telling me I was nuts for skydiving because of it. It also affects us that rick and her are living off the government, everyone in the US that pays taxes anyway. She did nothing to deserve any monetary compensation, all she did was make stupid choices that allmost got her killed. Greenie in training.
  7. With a PC in tow - that would be cool too Nah, that would just slow them down! They could deploy a tandem drogue at the end to stop them though! And random shot puts falling at them - come-one - steer that thing - Javelin too! Greenie in training.

  9. Then give them friends prices. Be careful though, business owners talk and word of mouth is great advertisement. You might end up with several other places wanting your services as well and expecting those same "friends prices." If the people really are friends help them out in exchange for some gift certificates for their restaurant, if they aren't charge them what you feel you deserve and see what happens.

  10. They should try the bobsled track on a shovel, that would make a fine olympic sport. Greenie in training.
  11. Charge them what you think your time is worth. That service is very valuable to them. I would recommend charging an initial setup fee and then a smaller nominal fee every time they need you to update/change something. You could try to get them to pay you a salary of a certain amount per month, but you may end up doing more work than you intended for that paycheck if they keep expanding. Edited to add: Sorry if you were looking for numbers but it will vary greatly depending on where you are. Greenie in training.
  12. Spicy tuna, by far. Greenie in training.
  13. For some reason I just picture the guy sliding down the ice with a broom and backing onto a conveyor belt that dumped him into a trap door lol. The bad part is the big ass stone thing would follow him into the trap door and I bet one of those would not feel good hitting your head lol. Greenie in training.
  14. fuck off turtle... someone had to do it right? I actually used to play curling with some friends on that olympics game they had on N64, granted it was usually when we were hammered. For the record curling would be way better if they played it like we did, you have to yell and taunt and try to break the peoples concentration on the other team, especially when he is using the broom.

  15. Please go write "I will not hijack threads." 100 times on a sheet of notebook paper! Greenie in training.
  16. It has nothing to do with the media. It is however personal preference. There is no possible way you can find every single woman on the face of this earth physically attractive. Leave the personality out of it because that is not what this post was about, it was about physical beauty. Think of it as looking at pictures instead of looking at people, sounds bad but that is what you are doing when you are judging someone based on looks alone. Greenie in training.
  17. Walt seriously don't make me post the picture of the 3 fat chicks in bikinis that has been posted here a few times. Every woman is not hot, there are some ugly chicks out there, you can't deny that. The three chicks in the photo I am referring to might have great personalities but that does not make them physically hot. Greenie in training.
  18. Shouldn't that read... "Can anyone please tell me where some of your objects are so I can burn one when I deathcamp myself off of it?" This guy is also asking for gear advice with no jumps, the only reason he would need gear and objects is if he wants to try to flick. Greenie in training.
  19. That is part of the reason it is banned... Greenie in training.
  20. There are pictures of it in the picture section. I don't believe they died. Greenie in training.
