Congrats! I was in the TEXAS STATE RECORD ATTEMPTS! We had 3 Otters and 2 Casas for the record! I cant see a Cessna zone! Sorry. The state record is 104, we did 118/113 but pendejos not in! C 1035!

It's pretty tough do'n 20 ways out of 1 Cessna! Occasionally we jump a 206 onto the beach @ Galveston but come on 35 min-10500. I normally get 8-10 jumps a day on weekends

Thought this was funny to read. We call our "regular" Otter a toad because our Super Otter is so much nicer! I think that if all I had to jump ever was at a small Cessna DZ, I would go back to G O L F ! C

Only for one load! Should'nt have left! C1034

Hey Nova, I do this senseless Knowing that I am helping someone that didn't have the chance to ask normally. This time I had a friend in need and it was my pleasure to actually know who was going to share my blood! Good luck Soli, C 1034 ps; Got my Gold Wings today for 1000 Jumps!

wide ride???

Pammi, Please dont take this lightly. This is eggstreamly serious! Learn from others mistakes! C 1027

Hey Tif, The blood's in the bank with your hubbies name on it! God be with him, Conway ps;made me a cheap drunk tonight, 40 ways tomorrow!

JUST QUIT THIS! You guys are making light of a serious accident! I have a little info to share! Note that this is not official yet but I heard there is a crack in the case so far. Apparently they have found parts of the container! It seems that this was a home built unit, comprised mostly of styrofoam and pressed paper! There were no handles or straps apparent, just some goofy press in tabs! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DUPLICATE THIS AT HOME! This friend must have been a lost soul thinking this would keep him with the container! Hey so much for opening shock. He must have known that this would be catch and release senario! What was he thinking and who was the girl that was trying to prove to him that he really wasn't chicken? She should be fried! This is only speculation because the other thread gave no proof, but I feel some truth here. Please think before you brink! C 1027

Unfortunatly the details are rather scrambled at this time. I updated the original post to help any one in this desperate time of speculation and hearsay. BSBD

Everyone involved with this thread, PLEASE SAVE THIS BEFORE SANGIRO HAS IT LOCKED! Blue skies! Remember that sand when not properly respected like water can be deadly!

This is a warning to all you would be base jumpers. Base jumping is very dangerous! Gear checks are just as important when base jumping. We heard about the cameraman that went out of the plane without his rig, now it looks like it's happened in base. The final report is not in yet but the authorities are investigating. Don't be surprised by the looks on the faces of those poor soles who witnessed this first hand. Once again, this is extremely graphic and not for the weak of heart or stomach!There is some strange yellow fluid coming from the abdominal area. Do not look at this before breakfast!When I get the final report on exactly what happened, I think that I will have this moved to the Incidents Forum. I don't want to speculate on this tragedy until I have all the facts, so that we can all learn from this so that it is not repeated! BSBD

2000'... yea that's it, 2000, isn't that what I said? Yea, yea I'm sure it was just my snivelly canopy that made me LOOK low, but I wasn't, REALLY!! I ALWAYS deploy by 2000. Seriously, no I mean it. Oh wait a minute, OK I could only SMELL the grass because they mowed it last year! No really I forgot to turn on that Pro-Trac 'til 1200'. Seriously!

Hi Nubain, I did my first 4 jumps over a 4 month period at the end of '98. I was there first thing every Saturday and Sunday and hardly ever got to jump. So I didn't jump again for 2 years out of frustration. When I started back in 2000, I did a retrain on Saturday and halfway through it we went into the plane to check it out. This was a King Air and I had jumped both an Otter and Cessna in '98. When I smelled the plane inside, I almost got sick because I was never over the hebegebies before and am deathly afraid of heights. The weather cleared up that afternoon and the JM said we could go up. I was shakin' like a leaf and the nerves had my stomach in knots. I told him I would sleep on it overnight and come back tomorrow mentally prepared to jump. When I got there the next morning, he said we're on the first load so I did'nt have the time to sit around and think about the what-ifs.I just told myself to remember that the fear stays in the plane so don't worry, relax when you're in the door and it was the best jump EVER actually watching the plane fly away! The next few levels went OK until we were going to do the second set of flips(I don't remember front or back)and suddenly I was as nervous as a first jumper all over again. Nervous stomach, sweaty palms and all. My JM asked what I was so nervous about and I told him that I could not picture the the flips in my head because I never saw hem on video! He said with a big smile "Hey Conway...IT'S ONLY AIR! If you screw it up just arch, get stable and DO IT AGAIN! You got 60 seconds to get it right!" and he just smiled. Ever since he told me that, I've never had that again! I always tell new students at my DZ about that and it calms them immensely. It's worked now for over 1000 jumps and every time I tell a student or newbie that doesn't get to jump very regularly, it seems to help them like it helped me. Hope this helps you out bud. Pass it on! C 1027

It is now pubic domain

Two cowboys from Texas walk into a roadhouse to wash the trail dust from their throats. They stand at the bar, drinking a beer, and talking about current cattle prices. Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins to cough. After a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real distress. One of the cowboys looks at her and says, "Kin ya swaller?" The woman shakes her head, no. "Kin ya breathe?" The woman begins to turn blue and shakes her head. The cowboy walks over to the woman, lifts up the back of her dress, yanks down her drawers and quickly gives her butt cheek a lap with his tongue. The woman is so shocked, that she has a violent spasm and the obstruction flies out of her mouth. As she begins to breathe again, the cowboy walks slowly back to the bar and takes a drink from his beer. His partner says, "Ya know, I'd heard of that there 'Hind Lick Maneuver', but I ain't never seen nobody do it."

This better?

It looks like the republicans have won both houses. Does that mean that GWB is totally unopposed, and is that necessary a bad thing? That's not a bad thing at all, it's a great thing!
