    Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.



    Almost, I was going to say...

  3. Honestly I don't give a fuck. I'll jump tonight, just like I did yesterday, and nor matter what happens after this, I'll continue to jump tomorrow.

    Should we sell out to nab a few extra jumps? I think no. Renegade those sweet ones kids, that's where it's really at. But those are your morals, and who am I to judge? So I don't. I do it my way, and fuck ya'll.

    cya on the edge.

    This is very true so I would first suggest not trying to get rid of the fear but rather just notice that it's there - dont try to to resist it - just own it and let it run whatever course it takes.




    Very true.

    When I'm at an exit I know what the "normal" level of fear is, and allow it to be... I've come to find it strangely comforting. If the fear is far more intense, I walk down.

    Don't beat yourself up over it buddy. Just heading out with your gear already makes you a retard. Don't jump when your instincts tell you not to and prove yourself to be.

  6. It still surprises me how many people, who've never flown a parachute, know about BASE. They don't know much, but they do know it's a bunch of retards jumping off stuff. While that may not be far from the truth, I don't have any problem with some real BASE knowledge getting out there. Who knows, maybe it'll show a few people out there we're not all hooker fuckin, coke snortin, suicidal maniacs... or maybe that's just wishful thinking.

    Heck with group hugs Jason, how bout some group sex! ...



    Make it a group scat party and i'm in! :P


    Black humor rocks. The List is (was) a good thing. Both should remain in BASE

  8. Better yet, roll over, stick it in her ass and let er rip. Nothing says "get the fuck out" better then a rectum full of piss

    Totally wild guesses might include poor PCA technique (premature release of the bridle/PC) or poor placement of the PC holder (so that the bridle was dragged over a sharp edge before line stretch pulled it tight).



    How hard is it for Andy to chime in and say yes or no to these questions?

    Maybe potatohead's grip was so strong, line stretch and loading wasn't enough to pull the bridal out of his hand and it broke after 400lbs of pressure? :P

  10. I once was about to exit off a lowish A with wind at ~45 degrees. A gust caused my PC and carrywith to "take off", sliding down the railing to stretch. I grabbed my bridle at the last second to keep it from possibly opening my container. Sure did wish I didn't have a PC on that one.

    Solutions:
    -have it tied off somewhere it can't slide (and possibly snag/loose your carrywith)
    -have PC in hand and toss clear on exit.
    -stand on your PC :D
    -don't use a PC

    When it's windy it's a pain in the ass on SL jumps, but i'll always keep it, just in case ;)

    Cash the check.. Head to local strip club and donate some of you ill gotten gains to Single Moms and girls that are just working thier way through college!!:P:D

    Only spend a couple hundred and then the next day go tell them what happened and you feel horrible about it and give them back what is left.




    wow, that's the best advise i've heard yet!

    Tact is for people who aren't witty enough to be sarcastic.




    Actually, tact is for the people who lack the confidence to be an asshole :P

  24. Things to make you unapproachable? Well here's a couple that, if I see them (and depending on the combo of them), I sometimes just pass on the attempt:

    -larger groups of women (I don't want to entertain 6 of you, so go for a walk with a girlfriend every now and then)
    -backs turned (face to face with friends, so I need to get you to turn 180 degrees to talk)
    -being with a guy. any guy.
    -looking away at eye contact
    -not smiling
    -not looking like you're having a good time


    Here's one last thing. If you think you're average looking and that's why most guys don't approach, then try hanging out with just you and a good looking (but taken) friend. Of course when I walk up, I'm more interested in the cuter of the two, but when I get talking I'm looking for a very cool, level headed, intelligent girl. At 1st i'm hopeing the best looking one is all that, AND really good looking. More often then not, it winds up being the "average looking" girl that has those qualities, and to me that changes my view of her from average to hot. I've had several relationships start out that way, only to joke later about how I met her trying to pick up her friend :P
