mhm, I read that they want to develop a new stinkbomb to be used for riots, maybe we could contribute to the R&D and take them onto the plain to give them an idea. I mean with Fed funds, we would probably get the ride for free as we're serving as assistant. That would also mean, that the beer and everything else that we would consume the night before would be free as this is part of the research. So to anybody out there who has some good leads to the defense industry - get the word out that we're ready to help out. blue ones Phil

the same with the view from the back http://www.drop-zone.ch/FunStuff/Shake.mpeg have fun

Chinese Proverbs Virginity like bubble, one prick, all gone. Man who run in front of car get tired. Man who run behind car get exhausted. Man with hand in pocket feel cocky all day. Foolish man give wife grand piano, wise man give wife upright organ. Man who walk through airport turnstile sideways going to Bangkok. Man with one chopstick go hungry. Man who scratch ass should not bite fingernails. Man who eat many prunes get good run for money. Baseball is wrong: man with four balls cannot walk. Panties not best thing on earth! but next to best thing on earth. War does not determine who is right, war determine who is left. Wife who put husband in doghouse soon find him in cat house. Man who fight with wife all day get no piece at night. It take many nails to build crib, but one screw to fill it. Man who drive like hell, bound to get there. Man who stand on toilet is high on pot. Man who live in glass house should change clothes in basement. Man who fish in other man’s well often catch crabs. Man who fart in church sit in own pew. Crowded elevator smell different to midget. that would go down that line

c'mon guys don't you get it? It's f"*£ing cold out there right now. Imagine you just landed and you go over to the carpet to pack and she is standing over you - keeping your ears warm while you pack. Now see that's when they come in very handy. Try to do that with a B or even a C - no chance. An other good factor is - boobs don't get the chill factor as we know it.

Weapons, don't make me fuckn laugh. Ive got a punch powerful enough to kill, i have the knowledge of where to strike to score a critical hit. Remove the weapons? They are my hands (the same things that can be creative) _______________________________________________ that why I have guns and rifles and what ever else to keep such killer machines like you at a safe distance!!! Only with my 357mag I feel safe. (don't worry I'm just full of it :-) ) I think the gun issue is not the point here but the problem with people flying planes into buildings and having Terrorists as models for real life. I mean I had a poster hanging in my room of Che Guevara when I was a Teenager and that would piss of my Dad. Did I go out and killed people that where rich and part of the establishment? Hell no. Took my Dog for long walks instead. The part where we can change something for the better is in our own home. If we don't feel like taking up the challenge then we don't have to be suprised, if something gets fucked up. Shit this sucks and we all know that it's not gonna change because apes learn better than we do. So let's go and enjoy our next jump and share all the great things that make us love life as it is. now should I jump with of without a cypres?

phil does your daughter jump or just enjoy wheren rigs :-) ________________________________________________ she came up as a passanger and had to wear a pilote emergency chute which made her very proud as you can see.

You have to release the pressure before exit otherwise you are not completely free. Anyway better to share a good fart with friends than bad breath. I guess the expression “blue ones” gets a new meaning here… Phil

...Jesus H. Flipping Christ on a Rope..Did I just show signs of being a mature, growing adult?? Somebody just go ahead and kill me... ___________________________________________________ haha - you just discovered the dark side in you - now go take that stick and go play a mean airguitar in front of your kid lol Phil

Good job Lisa. Being a parent is somewhat like taking a walk over a canyon on a rope with no safety net below while you’re looking at your kid doing the same thing on a string. We can give our kids everything we want or can. If it’s love we can’t give them enough of it. If it’s money, well just make sure we have enough for the next couple jumps (haha). I would opt for the first. It’s tough letting them go and having to watch them make mistakes. Getting hurt by others (falling in love – braking up – the endless (Parents) nightmare). We don’t know what makes these sick Kids tick different than the others that can act like halfway “normal” teenage Kids. One thing that I know is, that none of us that have Kids were born as Parents. I for myself have to learn what it means to listen and to be able to admit, that I don’t know everything. Also that I’m by far not perfect. As a father of 4 beautiful Girls it sometimes is hell to be a parent and to be confronted with my own shortcomings. So what do I do? I take one of them with me on my bike and we drive through the mountains to the DZ – watch the circus where I’m part of it. (Look at the smile of my oldest on the attachment). Spend time with one at the time and enjoying growing up with them. (Just got an AC/DC-CD for my birthday –cool) Yes let’s teach our Kids, that life isn’t easy but we can make it beautiful by being able to do something we enjoy for ourselves and with our friends. Blue ones Phil

It isn’t easy to overcome this kind of fear. If you really want to fly again it has to happen first in your head. You may laugh about what I'm about to write but give it a shot. When you go to bed before you're asleep start your dream. Imagine getting ready for your jump. Turn on the cypress, check your gear, go to manifest and sign on. Wait for the call. Imagine your ride up until the ready sign is given and than let yourself fall into the empty space of the sky. Do a 360 or anything else you like to do. Check your alt. Look down and around. Get the feeling for your speed. Enjoy being free!!! When it’s time to pull – arch reach and throw it out. Look how your chute opens – the slider is coming down – smooth opening and start your decent. Get ready for a tip toe landing – touch down – you made it and you see yourself with a huge smile on your face. Now if you fall asleep before the landing you might have a problem that is within your mind or you are exhausted and you simply passed out :-) . Don’t quit –try again and try to figure out where you have the knot. Good luck and don’t worry – if you really want to fly again you will be up there very soon. Blue ones Phil

Santa A beautiful innocent young lady wants to meet Santa Claus so she puts on a robe and stays up late on Christmas Eve. Santa arrives, climbs down the chimney, and begins filling the socks. He is about to leave when the girl, who happens to be a gorgeous redhead, says in a sexy voice, "Oh Santa, please stay. Keep the chill away." Santa replies, "HO HO HO, Gotta go, gotta go, Gotta get the presents to the children, you know." The girl drops the robe to reveal a sexy bra and panties and says in an even sexier voice, "Oh Santa, don't run a mile; just stay for a while..." Santa begins to sweat but replies, "HO HO HO, Gotta go, Gotta go. Gotta get the presents to the children, you know." The girl takes off her bra and says, "Oh Santa... Please... Stay." Santa wipes his brow but replies, "HO HO HO, Gotta go, Gotta go, gotta get the presents to the children, you know." She loses the panties and says, "Oh Santa... Please... Stay...." Santa, with sweat pouring off his brow, says, "HEY HEY HEY, Gotta stay, Gotta stay, Can't get up the chimney with my pecker this way!!!" blue ones Phil

___________________________________________________ forget all them get something you can grow into like a c135. You'll have way more fun scaring your self on that than some used 170. ___________________________________________________ sorry for asking but what is your job? Undertaker – working for the morgue? I say “Heil canopy” to all that has been said above. I read the part in the parachute magazine where they advertise all the ones that have given up their slots (read casualties reports) and what do I see – yes most of them have changed sides by hitting the floor after attempting a loooow turn. C’mon take it step by step and get to know your limits better. After all – who do we want to impress? Or is it because of the small pack volume? blue ones Phil

__________________________________________________ .. but I'd also like to be able to have sex for hours at a time without breathing too hard! ___________________________________________________ and I thought that sex was fun and not a work-out?!? I mean I like sport and there is nothing more fun that looking somebody in the eye while doing so but why cutting it short after 4 hours? Do you only jump half a day too? Skybitch I'm looking forward to hear how your first jump went on the 29th. I'll be thinking about you. blue ones Phil

The only way to go Lisa. Be proud. So many skydivers had a minor accident and quit and left. I’m sure that many still have the desire to get back out there but don’t have the courage to do it. I wasted my 1st lumbar vertebra last year on October 28. It was on my Jump no 67, missed the wheelchair by a inch and a half. Had to donate a rib to reconstruct the vertebra. Spent almost 3 month in a rehab clinic and was back in the air by march. On my 3rd jump after the accident I had a very bad line twist and had to go for the silver. To make things worse – the main didn’t get off totally and so I was out with 2 chutes above my head. Finally the main got loose totally and I was looking for a spot to land. I was way out and didn’t make it home. Everybody at the DZ was about as scared as I was because they didn’t see me land. As I got back to the DZ and went to bring my reserve to be repacked, the Rigger gave me an other Rig to jump without even asking me if I wanted to… I had to get back on my horse. To tell you the truth, it was hell at the beginning. I was scared of the landing and was still missing the strength in my legs to really outrun a landing. I waited till June for the next couple of jumps, but my landings still sucked and that made it even harder. Yes there was a time when I was very close to give it up. But then things started to change. I landed better, my physical and mental condition became a lot better and I went up and down with smiles only. On my first jump after the accident I jumped with my best friend with whom I had done the AFF and everything else in my skydiving life. Surrounded by my skydiving friends and family I went back and loved it and the same time hated it for what it had done to me. Yeah go out there and enjoy the air rushing through you. The freedom and the kick – knowing that there is nothing out there, that can give you this feeling that you so badly missed. And it’s ok to share a tear, than emotions make us go far and beyond. To make things worse – I just ordered my new rig ! Blue skies to all of us sky freaks – enjoy the coming holiday season and go for your dreams. Phil

I have a Spectre 150 loaded at 1.2 and while I had to get my reserve repacked had to fly a rig with a 170 in it. No Problem everything positive that has been said above I would sign to. If it's a new one I wish you happy packing jobs - if it's a used one - let it be checked by a pro rigger. After that it's just fun fun fun. go and enjoy blue ones Phil

Well 7.5 above Zero is better than the -9 that I have here right now. Maybe I'll have to do a little raod trip to Spain. Good wind means tip toe landing - can't beat that. Sounds damn good. blue ones Phil

why don't you check with sacha. He is at the Paracentro. His Email is [email protected] or [email protected] good luck Phil

check out http://home.nordnet.fr/~paramag/archives/n172/gbff.html this one is in english but will not give the same insight on how it's actually done. Have tried it with Tazio Madlinger and it's kind of fun. blue ones Phil

Any news if and when PD will bring out a new canopy? Is the Sabre2 the only one out or is there more to come? Blue ones Phil

"got all the money and all the guns" and that makes it ok to play the ruler of the world. ok I guess others figured out that they didn't need the money or the guns - planes did the job just fine. And by the way - I'm glad that you guys are bombing these fuckers out of this world. By the way is it maybe your neighbour that is sending those letters with that shitty white powder? So much for serve and protect. Reminds me of foreplay for rednecks " shut the f..k up or I'll rape you". Again let's not get down that lane. Why can we just leave it with the fact that there are some beautiful DZ's out there and that we need to do a lot more jumps. As they say some many DZ's - so little time. Relax Phil

"If the US was totally destroyed where will Canada be?" I guess still north of the US? Not that I will get crossed with my US Friends, but for some reason the US has somewhat the tendency to act like a big bully. " You do as you're told or else" I mean how can it be, that the US can basically tell an other country how it has to run its business? And I mean not a 3rd world country no I mean a european country. Or that the IRS will demand, that the rest of the world has to do what they want in regards to US Securities? Nobody is perfect, but stop kidding yourself and try to read some newspaper (on the net) from other countries and see what they write and don't be surprised to find out that a lot of information will not be passed on US television because it wont fit the image your government wants you to believe. Let's not get into a "we against the rest of the world" sort of thing, but let us just realize, that we all have our problems in the countries we're in. At the end it's what we make of it. blue ones Phil

Well, I'll take it as a compliment to us skydivers. Who ever came up with it - thank you - nice picture but keep on working on the text - it sucks. Maybe we can come up with something better? blue ones Phil http://www.spotlife.com/users2/philscamera/webalbum/

x-mas spirit, well you asked for it? There is always the opposition. Hope you like x-mas presents... sorry girls had to bring that one in to give us men something to look forward to in about 60 years. blue ones Phil

Best buy I had was at Square1. Always on top of things and very helpful. Good service and fair prices. Always shop around and get an idea about where the market is for your product. Have fun blue ones Phil

well, why don't you ask a guy in the slammer, how he feels about that one. He does it all the time. She is on one side of the glass an he's on the other... feeeeeels nice and cold I guess. Otherwise - hell no I'm a hands on kind of guy and don't get anything out of this virtual petting thing. If it doesn't drive her crazy it will drive me insane. That's why I better go jumping... blue ones Phil
