Just yesterday I enjoyed some foot-cam footage by one of my fellow jumpers. He just wanted the unique perspective and angle of himself during a 2-way freefly jump. After they separated, he wanted some extra shots of himself.... He was saddled ~500ft. No AAD, 3,000+ jumps, 1,000+Camera jumps.... these things hppen! Cameras create distractions.

Video/stills Video Stills Most popular is video/stills, although I get a number of video only's, but I jump stills anyway because 90% of the time they buy them after the jump It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye

"Warehouse Manager" AKA the guy that sweeps the floor in a warehouse that repaired espresso machines. That's where I learned that sweeping all day is boring, copper fittings bring a lot of money when you recycle them, and 3 shots of espresso at lunch will make the afternoon go REALLY fast. I was 14.

You pay for pack jobs, not openings... no refunds! I don't know why anyone would use a packer that said or believed that. I can't think of a dropzone I've been to that didn't have at least one person like that. They trust in the notion/statistic that that will more than likely have an 'acceptable' opening. Even at a boogie over the summer there was a packer running around doing 3-4 minute pack jobs for $5, and there were people eating that offer up so they could make as many loads as possible. They'd rather deal with an opening that was out of their comfort zone than miss the load (not always unseasonable). He'd check the line groups, shake the canopy, take care of the nose, wrap it up, shove it in, there ya go... not a complicated process, but one people would obviously rather pay him to do than do it themselves....

My understanding is that while this is true, the keys to that mailbox are government property, and therefore must be obtained through the PO It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye

I moved into a new apartment January 20th. My landlord said I needed to go to the post office to get my key, so I did. Post office wanted a copy of my lease contract, which I didn't get a copy of because their copier was broken. Waited a week to get my copy. Went, ordered my mailbox key. They said 5-7 business days. Went back 10 business days later, no key. They said they were running behind, come back in 2 days, it will definiely be there. Went back, not there. Gave them another week + a phone call, still not there. In this time, I missed a credit card payment, and important paperwork for a standardized test. Also, my bank informed me the box of checks i had ordered were returned to them because of a mailbox problem. This in turn led to me being late on my rent payment, as I had no checks and no time to get a cashier's check. Now, I am ~$100 deep in late fees thanks to my lack of receiving mail, and I couldn't take the standardized test that I had to re-register for and pay another $25 non-refundable fee. (can I blame the post office for any of this? I know there were other ways of getting this info, but not with my time frame and the move and all) (except the testing info, mail was the only option) Went to the post office today and THEY HAD MY KEYS!!!!! Ran home to open and read the 3 months of parachutists I have missed AND????? My keys don't work. It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye

I know a rigger who only has ~100 jumps, and 2 reserve rides under his own pack jobs.... That being said, 2 of my hardest openings were fresh from repacks... but as someone mentioned earlier, it isn't really their fault, that was just not knowing the opening characteristics of the canopy, which would be a legitimate reason to repack the main right when you get it back...

+1 Wasn't his son doing it for a while? If so, I recall they had very similar voices... The story that sticks out most in my mind was the story of the boy everyone called "Cinderella" because he was very tiny, and he later proved them wrong as he became world-renowned body builder, movie star and now Governor Schwarzenegger. And now you know, my best attempt at the rest of the story. It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye

I KNOW I am not the only one uploading my skydiving videos to Facebook. I had, at max, 5 skydiving videos on there. They deleted most of them and have removed my rights to upload video ever again... I feel a bit singled out. I want to email them back and defend myself with the link to the probably ~20 accounts that have double the videos i have with more than double the copyrighted material... I really wanna play he "I didn't do it first or worst" card It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye

Some recent shots, some went through a sort of "auto-adjust" automation by accident, so sorry unintentional for the poor/over-processing on a couple. Included is one we've titled "Full Service AFF," and another example of perfect body position by a tandem student on exit It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye

I have a horrifically twisted back and pelvis, and WAS going to the chiro 2 or more times a week.... I stopped going for a couple months, and suddenly was having the worst side/stomach pains. After a while, I realized I hadn't taken a shit in like 5 days. Went to the chiro, got adjusted, had everything re-aligned, took a dump within a few hours. So, I guess they can cure constipation. Also, I have heard the claims that they can cue other non-skeletal ailments, but can't come up with any off the top of my head It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye

It's been reflected. Unless the DZ also invested in left-handed tandem rigs too, because the instructor has an alti on his right hand It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye

Started when I was 18, jumped about every other weekend for about a year, now I jump both days of every weekend (school during the week). I find that most of my friends are 25+, doesn't bother me or them remotely. I know of many jumpers who would have started long before 18 if they had the technology.... myself included.

Nice. I think this is pretty much one of the hardest corners in this debate. Somebody earlier mentioned that they thought people who smoke and drive should be put in jail, but driving and smoking is one of my favorite activities. I was even taught by my doctor and the cannabis dispensaries what the procedures are if we get puled over, as it is such a common location for people to "medicate." But as pointed out, I have a lot of experience with it and am comfortable with it. Now, I have friends who I smoke with, and I hardly trust them playing a video game when they are high much less drive a car. So, I guess my best answer is there isn't now nor will there ever be an acceptable standard. Same with alcohol, of course... there are those who can slam a 6-pack and function perfectly, and those who have a light beer and need help out of their chair.... But perfect point, I'm glad you made it... there are an awful lot of "never done its" that criticize what they don't know just because it was deemed illegal. There are also a lot of "it's not a big deal" people who have been smoking continuously for years. So I stand by my original point that whether or not you can handle it, it's a bit inconsiderate to jump stoned IMO... it's not hard to wait til the end of the day (fellow smokers keeping in mind this is from the mouth of a very avid smoker) It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye

And I got it alllllll on video Then I had a PCIT as well Then I was kind enough to follow your freebag then I used too many smiley faces in my post. Glad you got in the air today, buddy! It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye

One thing to consider would be those of us that benefit from good ol' proposition 15 here in California. I have a state-issued license to purchase,hold, grow, and smoke at my leisure. That being said, I don't smoke during the day (when jumping). I feel that's unfair to the tandems I am filming and the others around me. Even if I think/know I can function perfectly, including skydiving, I do it more for the sake of those around me, and the reputation of the dropzone. Once the last load is on the ground, I will find the time for a 'nature hike.' I have an extremely fuc*ed up back and hips, and after a day with 6,7,8 jumps and hard openings and abuse, I am hurting pretty bad. Some time to 'lax on the couch in the hangar and let my bones/muscles settle is verrrrry nice. And yes, I've jumped high, and as excited as I was to do it, I found the instant sobriety that came with leaving the aircraft made the effort not really worth it for me. It did make for a much less mundane ride to altitude, though. I prefer to save my greens for the end of the day. Also, I prefer a stoned group of skydivers to a drunk group. Don't wanna turn this into a SC conversation, but I find the "stoner" skydivers are much more prone to being on the sunrise load than the drunk skydivers, who aren't usually fully functional til 11 or 12 and a meal It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye

Recently discovered the DJ "Mirwais." In particular, the song "Disco Science" tickles my fancy. The whole album makes nice cruisin music..... I'm pretty sure Disco Science was on the Snatch soundtrack. Kings of Leon also appears to be exploding onto the scene... I don't mind 'em too much, another good download if you don't already have 'em It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye

I'd love to rant about Walgreens, too! First, I can't understand the girl at the counter thanks to English being her 3rd-4th language. She tells me 90 minutes for my 2 prescriptions. I came back, paid, and got about 3 steps before I said "Uhhhh, there was supposed to be two prescriptions in here." She tippity-types on her computer and says "Oh, the other one was $50, so we didn't fill it." "Oh really? Are you my accountant, or my fucking pharmacist?" Made them fill it right there. I get home, open up prescription #1, the vicodin that will hopefully allow me to withstand the pain of food going down my throat. I notice it looks light... read the label, it says "15 pills." I count 8. I am furious. I got back. New girl at the counter is a total bitch. "Those pills are hand-counted." "Well, THESE pills were hand-counted incorrectly." She refused to give me more. Okay, from their standpoint I understand that, especially with vicodin. But she was a total bitch about it. I asked if I could have 7/15ths of my money back, and she says no, my only options are to accept it as-is and go home or leave the pills and ask the manager in the morning. I left the pills and went home. Tried to eat, couldn't get anything but water past my throat. Which means I couldn't take my other pills. So, I suffered one more sleepless night on my couch with a 104 fever. Manager the next morning at Walgreens called me and said he was sorry, if I still wanted my pills, they were ready at the pharmacy with all 15 pills. two hours later, I ate my first meal in three days thanks to the miracle of painkillers. Chef Boyardee mini-ravioli's never tasted so good. It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
