  1. Newcastle...with some smokey gouda. SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)
  2. What embarrassing label? It's only embarrassing if you are embarrassed. SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)
  3. Then you may want to be sure your life insurance is paid up. Cause time's up. By-the-way, this all reminds me of another niche publication that went a similar route...but they've kept publishing electronically even after they stopped selling subscriptions. It is run by people who just love to put out good info on their own favorite sport. RCSD. Additionally, they put all of their back issues on their site as PDFs. It might be nice to have back issues available at some point for Skydiving. It is clear that they are getting out of the business, so...all that would be needed is copyright clearance from the publishers, a stack of back issues, a scanner, and an old fart with spare time and cable (if you've ever done mass scanning with a manual scanner, you know what I mean).

  5. It's actually kind of funny, but I hate when people say things like, "Do you have Adobe?" Most of the time I tell them, "Yes, I have the entire corporation." Pretty much the same kind of response that comes to mind when people say that they "have the Internet." I tell them, "I had the Internet, but I accidentally deleted it." Poof!

  6. What'd you expect me to say? I'm a 3-1/2 dozen jump one-durr. SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)
  7. So I guess you'll never lose your car keys again. SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)

  10. Is that where the "fifth attachment point" was invented? That page has been up for several years. Still funny as shit today. You did notice that the photos they used seem to be focused on the "sex-crazed" slant of gay stereotypes: naked skydiving, camping naked, guy with the phallic beer bottle, limp-wristed toggle technique, plus references like "Our staff of Gay friendly (very friendly) jumpmasters will make your first time one that you will never forget." Seriously, just take out the word "jumpmasters" and substitute "assmasters" and it would fit right in with the rest of the message. They just don't get it. Not all gay people are sex-freaks.

  11. Yeah... I have a few of those... If I went out more I'd probably be more likely to have it with me all the time... like I "should"... I was in Florida a few months ago, ran into an E4B pilot. He was all excited to throw a coin down...I didn't even have to use my "highest" ranking one...I was hoping for a challenge...poor guy, it was a non-starter for him. Regardless of what coin they have, you can always trump them by throwing a fake limb on the bar. A dildo?

  14. Hate to bust anyones bubble but I've never clicked on any ad here. I'm just here to help them out with their user count. I saw that ad when I signed on tonight. And no, I never click on the ads on this site either. They're for all of the blind skydivers with screen readers. Pretty funny to have them read to you. Sounds like Stephen Hawking doing phone sex.

  15. If you want to get the best advice first-hand (based on your flying of your specific canopy), get hooked up with a quality canopy piloting course. Personally, I had the same issue when flying a Navigator at 1.03:1. By making my flare stroke faster, I was able to generate a dynamic stall. Trust me, you will know when you've stalled the canopy. It might look like a donut and feel like stepping backward into an open elevator shaft. The most important thing to learn about the stall is how to correctly recover. Listen to your instructors carefully. *I don't know squat. You may die. Nobody should ever do what I do, what I have done, or what I discuss. I am very likely full of crap, etc., etc. SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)
  16. Okay, you've got Lamborghini and "Skydiving, also known as Parachuting...". Are you going to have a page that describes what it feels like to put a 9-volt battery on your tongue? Seems a little odd to have someone writing about "How It Feels" to skydive...who hasn't. Then again, your site does say "Life Beyond the Facts". Good luck with that.

  17. What if they land on a bobcat? That would be their bad luck. The bobcat's? SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)

  21. Details to put on your site? Why not just go skydive and tell us what it felt like? Might be fun or something. SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)
  22. My name led to a picture of me. My dropzone.com userID led to...well, you can see for yourself. SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)

  24. I enjoy both. With Skydiving I get the BASE glimpse that Parachutist doesn't give me. SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)
  25. I dunno. Chuck Blue told me he didn't think I was qualified to do a demo onto a golf course fairway. Maybe Skittles will come down and do that. SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)
