Hollister is a fun dropzone, but lately the vibe has been very female dominant. Normally this would be an interesting anomaly in our male dominated sport. However, I’m not very partial to short haired women who can’t land their Katana’s and just got their instructor ratings telling the whole load that they are “unsafe”. There are 2 girls that should really consider growing their hair back. Long hair makes dominant females act more like chicks. Chicks are a lot more fun to jump with. I would still impress upon our newbie friend to think about Taft. UntamedDOG

Please explain to me why you feel it is important to post factual information in a profile. What difference does it make? I can post enough fun facts about skydiving and dropzones in California to prove I am a legitimate skydiver who has been around the block a few times. The proof of knowledge is in my posts, wether you believe a skydiver named Brian Anderson exists or not. UntamedDOG

Big surprise. The pigs won't fry one of their own. That would be sacrilege.

how much longer is Elsinore gonna be around? before they get evicted from the land?

I was banned from Incidents last July. I would like to have the ban lifted if possible. I asked a few too many questions about a fatality in Cal City. UntamedDOG

Sherman Oaks is in the Valley. You are 90 minutes away from all 4 dropzones in the area. Go North to Skydive Cal City and Skydive Taft Go East to Perris and Elsinore

It's good to be back in the Bonfire after my 30 day ban. I was talking shit about a certain skydiver who appeared on a certain MTV special. I cannot divulge any additional information without fear of reprisal. Lets just say, I would like to be welcomed back by you all with open arms. UntamedDOG

Oh, common! I remember the first time I did one of those mazes. I said “SHIT” when the scary face appeared. It was a little surprising but it wasn’t that scary. That kid seems a little bit old to be so terrified. He looks about 10. I’m sure his dad didn’t mean for him to get that scared! It was just a joke. I bet the dad felt like a jerk though afterward. Funny as hell though! edited to add: That chubby kid better toughen up. He is totally unaware of the horrors that life has to offer. Seems a little strange that he is so fragile.

Don’t do it. It is only a good dropzone for Tandems and experienced canopy pilots w/ over 100 jumps. The big reason I say this is because the landing area is very small with lots of wind gusts coming in from the ocean. The larger landing area is a dried up river bed that is surrounded by trees. If you land off, you are screwed. Wait till you have some jumps under your belt and visit Santa Barbara as a licensed skydiver. It is a great view in freefall! Taft,CA maybe the best choice. It is the next closest dropzone. It has a pretty large landing area that is a bit more student friendly. UntamedDOG

Well, he is right about one thing. You did chicken out. You used school and finances as an excuse to quit the sport instead of admitting that you got scared. It is clear that you are trying to find reasons why you cannot skydive instead of finding solutions. You cry about money when it’s only $21 per jump ticket. You cry about gas money when you could easily carpool with your friends. A lot of people make up lame excuses when in fact they just don’t enjoy the sport that much anymore. There is nothing wrong with quitting skydiving. Your boyfriend is right. You probably won’t return to the sport. When school gets out and you find a job, I’m sure you will have some other excuse as to why you can never make it out the DZ. Here are some suggestions I have that will make avoiding your problems easier…. 1 I have cramps 2 I have to work this weekend 3 My family is visiting from out of town this weekend 4 I got really wasted last night and I’m too trashed to skydive 5 I’m going to the beach 6 I’m having dinner with my friends UntamedDOG

Tip 1 Do not leave your equipment at the dropzone. This advice is aimed more towards instructors and vidiots. However, it is important to note if you plan to have your reserve re-packed by their rigger. Tip 2 Don’t expect honesty from a DZO that’s going out of business. He will not tell you the truth simply because it’s none of your business. If rumors are floating around, gear could get stolen and instructors might not want to teach out of fear of not getting paid. Tip 3 Take note of the condition of their aircraft. Maintenance is usually the first thing to be neglected when a DZO is trying to appease debt collectors. Tip 4 Make sure to get the phone numbers of all your jump buddies. You will want to get in touch with them once the DZ folds so you can arrange to meet up and jump somewhere new. UntamedDOG

There are a lot of people out there who’ve been offered jobs that don’t yet exist. It happens all the time. It is a sign of poor planning on management’s behalf. Don’t take it personally. At least you didn’t move out there only to have the job fizzle out. I hope that DZO in Titusville reads this thread. Maybe he'll think about his reputation next time before lying. One time I was offered a job. I filled out about 30 pages of paperwork for the new hire packet and tax info, as well as consent forms for a background check which I passed with flying colors. I then made repeated attempts to contact this employer thinking that I was already hired. A few weeks later I received a voice message from the guy telling me that the background check passed, but that they were “full” and didn’t have any openings. He said he would keep my paperwork “on file”. I WAS ABSOLUTELY LIVID. This guy completely misrepresented the situation. He offered me a job, had me do all the paperwork, kept me waiting for weeks, then he blows me off. I suspect it was because he wanted a backup guy in case a previous applicant didn’t pass the background check. I left a lengthy voice message telling him how unprofessional I thought he was and that he handled the situation completely wrong. I realize that this totally burned my bridges but I was so pissed off at him that I didn’t want the shitty job anymore. I almost went down to the office and demanded my file back, I was too scared I might punch the fucker out. UntamedDOG

Did you ever stop to wonder why nobody else in your group struck that rock? Maybe those other jumpers have more control over their canopies. This comes with experience you clearly do not have. You turned 90 degrees left before you deployed. When you opened, you were still leaning to the left, which caused the impact. You are so lucky to be alive right now but you don’t even realize it! They say that God protects old folks and fools, you clearly have someone upstairs looking out for you. Although I fear that he will eventually grow tired of saving your sorry ass. Another issue. You were using a High Definition Camera for a BASE jump. I bet you didn’t ask anyone about video cameras when you made that decision either. While HD cameras have great resolution, they suck….I repeat, they absolutely suck in less than ideal lighting conditions. The second half of your video looks like it is almost dark out when you are just in the shadow behind the rock. Don’t expect to use it on any night jumps. UntamedDOG

The new macbookpro's also lack a Dual Layer DVD burner. This is an issue if you do a lot of video work.

I love Perris. They have every amenity to pacify my effeminate trick ass. It’s even named after my favorite city. They make every other DZ in SoCal look like total crap. I enjoy repeatedly complaining to manifest and ownership about my yearns and desires for incredible customer service. They love to tell me how sorry they are and if there’s anything they can do to appease me, including free jump tickets and tunnel time! They are so professional. Many dropzones in the area have banned me. They say I’m creating a bad vibe at their dropzones but not Perris. They treat me like gold and it makes everyone soo jealous! It's the only dropzone where guys like me can be themselves. Go Perris! UntamedDOG

Bengals are loud ass cats! If you want one, you may need to have them debarked.

Money. Read my old thread about this organization! http://dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2025036;search_string=hay%20uspa;guest=18388216#2025036

Ya it sucks, but I've just met these 2 new chicks who want to fly me to Slovakia!

I ordered 2. One "Vagina" mold for home use, and the "Non-Descript" mold I'll use at work.

I have no girlfriend, Luckily I’ve discovered a cheap alternative. I can’t wait till mine arrives! http://www.fleshlight.tv/promo/masha/

FUCK NO!

A great exploitation of blacks!

All looks. No substance. She is baby cute, not gorgeous. I just don’t find myself attracted to untouchable women.
