    Olav?

    Okay, lemme rephrase that. We wouldn't be flying NEARLY the way we can now. We might not even have figured out head down yet..... Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.

    Olav?

    That's right sneaky. He's a cool guy if ya ask me. Sure, I've only emailed him and Stephania, and I've never had the chance to meet them personally, but every time I've written them with a question, they've been nothing but kind and helpful. Olav created freefly for all of us, and if it wasn't for him, odds are we'd still be on our bellies. This is why I started this thread to clear up stuff, cuz it's his bad rep that starts the ridiculous rumors, making him look like more of an asshole. Let's not bash, guys. We're skydivers, we're family, and he's a leading father-figure of our family. Let's treat him with such respect.

  3. Lemme tell ya somethin mate. Whatever it was that lead you back into school and on to the road to becoming a "medical practicioner" doesn't matter. The thing that matters is the fact that something DID lead you back to it, and you seem very excited about it. There' s an old saying: When life is good, sometimes it better not to ask "why". Follow that. Somebody somewhere wants you there, so be there, and do well. I wish you luck, my friend. Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.
  4. Yeah but Utter is no longer allowed to give the test for reasons unknown. (I think he and Olav had differences, but not sure......) Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.
  5. Just take a cameraman and that's all ya need bro. the thing is, whuffo's look at it and say, "Okay, they're falling close together, and their spinning, big deal." Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.
  6. To my understanding, it is the A and B that can be given by the instructors. I believe it is the C and D which have to be give by Olav or someone else with clearing from Olav. (Prolly Swanson, the only other qualified D holder). I'll post a full list of people qualified in the US to give it here sometime within the next day or so, but anyway, that's what I know. I'll double check with Stephaia or Olav to verify this, just in case. Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.
  7. Ya know, we were having a discussion about this just two nights ago around the campfire. That's the reason that freefly failed at the X-Games, is whuffos don't have any idea just how difficult it is to freefly. They don't realize the skills that are needed just to fly straight down the tube, or just to take a single dock. And come on, don't even get me started on the "there's more than one way to jump out of an airplane?" people......... Man, INFORMATIVE publicity is needed!!!

  8. Aw, come on. I grew up in Ohio by the way. Okay, captain N was the guy who got sucked into his Nintendo and now he's in the game world. remember? By the way, Land of the Lost rocked too. Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.
  9. Okay, I'm gonna name off some old shows I used to watch as a kid that no one I've spoken to remember. Please tell me somebody out there remembers these bad ass shows!!!! Captain N: The Game Master Dino-Riders David the Gnome Captain Power The Little Kuala Come on, if anybody remembers these, spread your memories of Saturday mornings as a whuffo child!!!

  10. Pushmonkey!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For those of you who don't know about this band, they're based out of Texas right now, check them out!!!! Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.
  11. Well, I agree with the car wash idea. You could get some of your hot skychick buddies to do it and charge more!! Otherwise, there's always selling your car...........DEDICATION IS THE KEY. Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.
  12. Unfortunately, NONE. I did hook up with a tandem student once (didn't actually get it but VERY close), but that doesn't count anyway, not a bona fide skydiver. Any takers?? J/K!!! Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.

    Who's Tom???

    Holy shit dude, that's a SWEET idea. Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.
  14. Dude, I was at OSU, and I have video (somewhere) of three of the girls in my dorm getting it on out on the floor of the dorm hallway. Needless to say, with a bit of scratchy music, and a few different angles, it was a classic beer party vid for the next couple months.......

  15. Come on, we all know that goats make the best sacrifices, followed by small children, whuffo's, of course. Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.
  16. Hey man do you still have that article?? If so, can ya send it to my email?? Thanks bro!!! Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.
  17. Good call dude. If you know you're not gonna make it, go for a clear area, and take it form me, corn fields are bad............ Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.
  18. Hey, the FF2 is a great helmet. I'm a dealer for 2kComposites, and I also have an FF2. Good stuff eh? Just a secret, 2k is coming out with something new. It hasn't been named yet, but it's a lot like Bonehead's Flat Top Pro. You don't know anything about it yet. Glad you're happy with your helmets guys!!!

  19. I would go to Switzerland, right in the area around the Matterhorn. That is the most beautiful place I've ever been, and could you imagine the skydives?!?!?! Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.
  20. What the hell? Since when did freefly come into the license requirements for a C license? Dude, somebody is screwing with you. Do your requirements on your belly, it's easy, no sweat. I'd try to help with the layout, but I can't even begin to put what I'm thinking into words. Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.
  21. Hey, how'd you know my name??? Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.
  22. Dude, I totally agree with dkpbxman, it takes balls to jump, but it takes some MAJOR COJONES not to. Safety is always the #1 issue in our sport. If you have a bad feeling about a jump, don't do it. Too many times do people jump just cuz they care what other people think, but you have to realize, even if we do it hundreds or thousands of times, we're risking our lives every time we step out of that airplane. If you don't feel safe, don't let anyone make that life or death choice for you. Bravo. Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.
  23. Are you talkin to me or Tayte?? Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.
  24. Dude, dude!! I'm kidding!!! I figured somebody would say something like that...hahaha!! I'm just playing around guys!! Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.
  25. Hey gimme a break, I'm a freeflyer, and don't do belly big ways. But yes, you're right, and the few times I have done belly big ways, that's what I've done, I just said it wrong, cuz I don't know belly techs, hahaha!!!
