  13. My mum would always tell me about a chef at her work who would talk about being a skydiver and i called bullshit instantly. I had a chat with him when i picked her up from work one day and had a chat with him. Well he was a skydiver. Back in the day on the rounds he made a few but exaggerated his experience talking about swooping, BASE and every other discipline to everyone else... But to me the honesty came out that he made about 30 jumps back in the day. A has been who still reads a lot and wishes he still had the minerals to go out and get it. I actually felt sorry for him and invited him along to the DZ instead of ridiculing him. He declined unfortunately as i'd have liked to see him turn that arm chair passion into reality again. 1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit.

  14. Is that the English chap Greenie? I don't know how he does it. I freefell 190ft (Vid666 will say its 207ft ) and had about a 1.5sec longer canopy ride. 1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit. Until morale improves, the beatings will continue.
  15. Theses guys have been stalking the Japanese boats for a long time, firing projectiles at them and using a laser to interfere with the Japanese. This video makes me happy
  16. Theres people out there doing all kinds of dumb shit we'll never see or hear. Personally the shortest canopy ride i had was 3 seconds, at that point don't even unstow the brakes and just land on rears. Or unstow the brakes, try to flare and biff in like i did. I find that very hard to believe, but stranger things have happened. 1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit. Until morale improves, the beatings will continue.

  23. Not much of a stretch really. Watch people cock their pilot chute and pull and pull and pull on it till you swear they'll pull the hackey off. Then without checking to see if it's cocked, they look at the window to see if the mark is there. They know it needs to be cocked but haven't a clue how it actually works. That's just one example. My pet peeve when someone comes up to me and says "my window isn't green" like the window is the be all of pilot chute cocking. Take the damn PC out and drag it through the air, did it inflate? Right. Maybe drifting off topic a bit but every DZ i have been to student gear has non collapsible PC's. I watched one bloke start his AFF, graduate and go out to buy his own gear. He was really pleased with his new toy and packed it at home (after rigger inspection) but wanted me to go over the packjob with him as it was a Sabre and he knew the reputation. As you can guess the PC wasn't at all cocked as the gear he jumped as a student simply didn't use it. Anyone wanna debate pro's and cons of teaching students from scratch on the kind of gear they will likely use? 1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit.

  24. damn that law, thats really gonna fuck things up isnt it? it would be a shame if base jumping was no longer legal. If that is sarcasm then fail. As BASE is not illegal in itself. Eat the fail cake. 1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit. Until morale improves, the beatings will continue.
  25. I enjoy the shit flinging 1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit. Until morale improves, the beatings will continue.
