  1. When you register for certain college courses because you can write about skydiving for every paper, also knowing nobody will contradict your argument because they don't know any better. Yup, I just spent two hours doing that. "HRTM111- Leisure as Cultural Identities." This should hopefully be the easiest B- ever.

  2. A day on the beach... It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  3. Cutaway: FAIL Reserve: WIN It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  4. Exact same thing happened to my buddy this week... had the camera less than a week. I got mine the same day, have been mounting it the same way.... looks like I'll wait til the box it ready It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  5. I'm doing mine this week, got access to a machine shop and I'm gonna make it nice n' clean... here's a link that'll help you a lot: http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk/cms/forums/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=15743&sid=4c8ed5372147376a84e613778a91e5d3&start=16 It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  6. While i did not take this particular photo, I have probably 50-75 jumps doing video for this TM... On my first jump with him ever, I captured a near identical photo... In other words, not the first/only/last time this will happen. There was also a string of premature openings and drogue discrepancies mixed in there somewhere as well... I was told it was an issue with a packer (who no longer works there), but I still didn't like many things I saw with that rig. I'm not a TM, but if I were, my experience thus far would steer me away from the Racer... I won't poke a stick in any fires though, I'll worry about that if i ever decide to strap people instead of cameras to myself. It was once suggested to me as a videographer to pop up for the opening, since there is no trap door on this rig... raised a couple flags for me, seems against the physics of a drogue release (in addition to the fact that the pop-up trick is a well-known no-no). I do like how the drogue sits the tandem more upright though (from a video perspective). It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  7. Haikus are easy. But sometimes they don't make sense. Refrigerator. It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye

  9. If someone turned left in front of you at an intersection and hit you, wouldn't you want them to pay to fix your riding lawnmower? I sure as hell would. Yes sir i would! In the situation of the OP were the driver acted the way he did...I would not say one word for him sueing the driver (for damages, and health issues) if he had been hit. But that is completly diff than saying That is just total BS! Obviously! It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  10. Thats the American way!~ Such fucking BS!!!!!!! That's what's wrong with this country! Edit>>>> No I didnt fucking studer! That's what i meant! Why dont you sue me I would, if you hit me with your truck It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  11. It all happened so fast, couldn't get a license plate number Just got back from urgent care... fractured collar bone and dislocated shoulder, I believe he said at the AC joint, if that makes sense. I honestly couldn't follow what he was saying. Got everything put back where it belongs, got a prescription and a sling... I get to return to the sky "at my discretion." I'll have to monitor myself on that one, I can be pretty stubborn. As far as who's at fault, it was definitely that guy, as I did have the right of way and was skating perfectly legally. I normally give way to the cars anyway and will even get off my board and walk across the bigger intersections, but I found comfort in the fact that we were staring eachother in the face. I have a feeling walking across the street will be a pretty consistant habit from now on It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  12. Skating to a friends house last night, a car tried to cut me off and beat me through an intersection. I made eye contact with the driver, he knew damn well I was there... once I made eye contact I said "Hey, he knows I'm here, I'll go ahead and cross." Asshole floored it and tried to beat me through the intersection to turn left in front of me. He definitely was going to hit me so I bailed off my skateboard and ate some serious shit in the intersection. The fucker drove off, continuing to accelerate, and nobody sitting in the intersection even leaned out a window to ask if i was okay. Fuck all the selfish stupid fuckheads around San Jose that insist on being a social prick. I made the block to my friends house, got a ride home where I was greeted by previously injured friends with Norco's, some beer and some weed. After trying to move me my shoulder gave a nasty, sliding, popping feeling/noise, so most who were here are pretty sure it was/is dislocated. Almost positive I fractured my clavicle, too. I'm trying to find a ride to urgent care to go find out for sure whats going on. I wish I HAD been hit by the car, that way I at least had somebody to sue. Anybody know where a college kid can find some work that only involves one arm for a few weeks? If I can't do AFF or film tandems, I'm shit out of luck as far as rent goes It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  13. Check your leg straps? Could be doing an unintended harness turn that isn't real obvious until you get close to the ground... It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  14. Staff fun jump... It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  15. No need to kid, life is what it is... that's why it's called dating, right? And I guess the rule is not as widely know as I thought.... You meet a girl/guy: "Oh, you're a skydiver? Cool!" 3 Months: "Have fun at the DZ!" 6 months: "You're going to the DZ?" 9 Months: "You're not going to the DZ, are you?" Notice there is no "12 Months" Seems to have played itself out perfectly in my relationship... time of death: 10 months, 2 weeks, 500 jumps It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  16. I'd also like to add that it is also my best friend's 21st birthday today, so... here's breakfast, which will be followed by near identical brunch, lunch, snack, early and late dinner. A siesta may need to be in order, because we spent all the money on beer and no energy drinks. Which was the obvious choice.

  17. Ladies? It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  18. In my honest opinion which is based off personal experience, 180's are stupid. There's another thread on here where i went off on a guy braggin about his 180's on a Stiletto... which is exactly what I was doing when I pounded in. At least you're on a Sabre, it will translate better to other canopies if you make it far enough to change canopies. 180's don't really allow you to see your intended landing area in your setup as well as other turns, therefore developing a sight reference is much harder, especially for someone with 100 jumps. I think you are currently making a string of horrible decisions that are formulating an equation for a very painful and/or embarrassing lesson. I won't tell you not to do them, you're still going to... I just don't look forward to reading about it. I hope you get lucky, man. (I did, i got to walk away from my pounding) It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  19. Even I'm confused now. Your overwhelming number of 'no' responses directly contradict the 20+ flights i've made carrying my rig on my back... It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  20. Just have the song change about every 7-10 seconds or so... i've been told that's not long enough for the audio recognition genies to snatch your audio because they can't recognize it... seems to be working so far! Doesn't always make for good editing though It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  21. Necessity doesn't always warrant the use of said products... I support a future purchase of aforementioned product, it's a good time for all... It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  22. Jay and Yong are the shit. It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  23. I don't think it's a case of getting ripped off, or a case of getting fucked by skyride. At our DZ, we sell 10k tandems, but those are from the Cessna and operate on weekdays only. This is laid out when the prices are described. Many people, unfortunately, miss this point and come in to redeem their ticket on a weekend when we are using the PAC. We then have to explain that we only operate the PAC on weekends, and if they wish to jump that day, it's an extra $40 (to 15k). I don't think it's an unfair or unreasonable practice. In fact, I think the OP got a pretty good deal. It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  24. I don't think anything on this rig will ever unintentionally come undone... ever. EVER. This thing is like Fort Knox, especially with the PUD locked in... It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  25. I-22 with every option,including very whorish embroidery. Fits perfectly, looks awesome, I couldn't be any happier with the final result... all you guys over at Velocity kick ass, made the process smooth and business was a pleasure.
