  4. Dude-you should come up to New England...They will deliver beer to your door in NH and Mass is looking at legalizing possesion of marijuana under an ounce...

  6. I always thought rugby was a big game of grab-ass, but that is a little ridiculous!!!!
    What the hell is wrong with people!!!! and I thought skydivers were strange people.

  8. I think shag is another term for pick up or catch...i.e. "shag some flyballs" or "shag those golf balls", that is the first time that I have heard tandemshaggers though...pretty funny.

  9. Thats what i figured you were getting at...some people are just superstitious about their rigs you know??? i.e. "if" something should happen to my friend on my rig...that is what i was wondering about. I would go for it, that is of course unless you are using it!!!

  10. What are you nervous about??? If you trust your friend, nothing should happen to it right??? If something happens to your rig...it sounds like your friend is honest enough to compensate you for it. If you are nervous about someone else jumping your rig (bad mojo type of thing), I would worry about it...if you are afraid that the rig may not be safe for your good friend then you shouldnt be jumping it either. I would just recommend that your friend knows the rig and all its little idiosynchrasies. A Base jumper got killed because they were jumping borrowed gear and couldnt find the handle...just a suggestion. Let em borrow it.

  12. Thats a very good question that I think everybody needs to ask themselves. I think that it would also be good to get in the habit of looking over the equipment of the people around you in the plane, not just your own. You dont have much else to do while you are on your ride up to altitude. We should take care of each other as well as ourselves.

  13. Nah, just foolin around with you...but I refuse to date whuffo chicks anymore. I have had 2 intentional cutaways from them already in less than 9 months. It just doesnt work. Plus, not only are skydiving chicks sexy but they are cool as sh*t!!!

  15. If a woman doesnt jump...do you really want to hang out with her???
    I have noticed that those relationships usually dont work out from my experience. Plus, women skydivers are soooo sexy!

  16. Sound like they are having a rough time over there. That has got to be pretty embarassing if you are an instructor there. A student pays all that money and the instructor bounces them across the wire mesh. Exciting! I hope they get some better luck.

  18. Geoff,
    I am not suggesting in any way that you plans should hing on people tracking in the right directions or that you should close the gap between groups. I am just saying that you should be aware. It is something that a lot of people do not think about or do not know about. It is easy to get disoriented and if you are disoriented, it is even easier to track into another group. Being aware of other groups and yourself is only one step in the safety process (along with proper time and angle separation out the door). The only thing I am saying is that jumpers should be aware of this. It is really scary to hear someone scream over your shoulder 20 feet away from you...

  19. I didnt feel like dealing with downloading the codecs and whatnot, but is that the clip from Chronicles III??? It sounds fairly similar, if it isnt check out the end of CIII and you will see another scary landing.

  20. Ahhhh. The Mel Rig!!! Yep, I rented the 190 at my DZ and then bought a 170 when I was at 25 jumps or so. It wasnt a major difference. However I started noticing differences with a 150 & 135...Have fun!!!

  22. Who me??? Why am I smoking crack??? Wouldnt you agree that you can track into a previous group if you arent aware of your relation to them??? No offense taken, that is what these groups are for...discussion. Please inform me of my erroneous ways. I am more than happy to listen. Thanks.

  23. I went to the windtunnel in florida which has the fans at the top of the tunnel and I had no problem. I weigh about 145 lbs, but there were people in there that were much heavier. Typically what they do is turn up and down the fan as needed. Did you see a fan operator in there working the controls??? Maybe that was the problem. But there shouldnt be an issue with getting you in a nice relaxed arch position. Where was this???

  24. Correct and that is why the largest groups get out first because they would have the right of way in the sky because they dont have any choice to track up and down the line of flight and they would be the lower group whereas a smaller group has that choice. See what I am getting at?

  25. Slowfaller...do me and yourself a favor and call up PD and ask them if someone with 25 jumps should be jumping a stilleto at a 1.1+ wingloading. If they say fine...go ahead. You may be planning ahead for the jump, but I just had a friend go in...I am sure that he thought he was planning on what could happen but its the things that you dont expect that come with experience that could bite you...thats what happened to him.
    Do what you want to do, but please just do some research and get educated first.
