  7. awsome! blue skies to ya jay. i had seen a clipping on tv on this.. right after my first couple jumps, in the cross between whuffo and skydiver. CLICK HERE! new blog posted 9/21/08 CSA #720
  8. wow, gues what i read was true. haha... I got an old book from the library; Dan Poynter's 'parachuting the skydiver's handbook. 5th edition. .. copyright '89..according to this book, 90% divers have high school diploma, 40% divers finished college, over 20% have attended graduate school. .. my conclusion... too many smart people in skydiving!! oh, and its fun reading this book and seeing how much has changed, and how much is still the same. .. God bless the public libraries and highly outdated books. CLICK HERE! new blog posted 9/21/08 CSA #720

  10. reminds me of my first skydive... "OMG, they just jumped out of an airplane!!! Wait, I'm gonna do that too!!! WTF did i get myself into?????" and yet, at the same time.. it was very reassuring, seeing others jump out, meant i would 'be ok'. good luck on your levels.. and don't forget the beer!

  11. Ok, so i went to Knott's Berry farm today, on a ride called supreme scream. brings you up high, and then drops you down... http://www.knotts.com/park/tour/brdwalk/imgs/mov/SCREAM_CLIP.mov well, whn it started dropping, without thinking, my arms popped out sideways, palms down, and legs even spread... *went into a sitfly position*. I did not think about doing this, it just kinda happened whenI felt the drop and was sitting. Made me laugh at myself! Does this mean i am addicted? or just mentally insane? http://www.knotts.com/park/tour/brdwalk/sscream.shtml CLICK HERE! new blog posted 9/21/08 CSA #720

  14. wow. I learn so much here!!! screw school, i just need to read the bonfire on a daily basis.... so far, i have learned. 2. when going 120 mph, the human body absorbs oxygen through the poors, meaning the persongoing that speed does not need to breath. 3. I can learn book material through osmosis. 5. the only thing skydivers agree on is, 'don't die' 6. I'm not as perverted as i once thought i was. 7. there ARE such things as dumb questions.. and most of them come from me. 8. Did anyone notice there is no question 4?

  20. does the plane you are on have a flight path over perris by any chance.... perhaps you can somehow bust the door open, and do a dive onto the dz. .. hmmm, you may need a pressure suit and, well, the TSA might take our rights to have rig as carry on away. but its a thought...
