Yeah, that's true. But every once in a while you get some low or no jump number person on the landing area who jukes back and forth while someone is swooping towards them. Like a dodgeball player. Hate to say it, but I did that shit at @ jump 15 because no one had told me any different. I swear I thought this guy was gonna nail me. I know it seems like common sense now, but to friends of tandems or brand new skydivers, they just don't know. I guess the point is, you never know what some wacko on the ground is gonna do, so it's up to the canopy pilot to get himself safely to the ground. Landing near, landing away, just be safe. I'm new to all this so I tend to agree with landing away. If everyone else want to land close, good for them. It's not your problem if you're not crowded in with them Btw, the guy was doing tandem video and captured the image of me juking back and forth. Talk about some embarassing shit! One more lesson I'll never forget..... I will be kissing hands and shaking babies all afternoon. Thanks for all your support! *bows* SCS #8251

Oh my dear god! I hate to admit this, but I still had that code memorized from playing contra. I could barely beat that game with the thirty men, let alone three... three men, who the F are they kidding? Don't know if anyone's said this yet or not, but Cutaway: PUCKER Reserve: RELAX To me, anything with puckering would be funny, and oh so true.

You know that little thing she does with her hips that you like so much? Yeah, I taught her that. You're welcome This is a fun thread

I've been there the last two weekends, but no, you gotto go sneaking around when no one's there I'm driving up Tuesday night, I can't wait to set up my tent in the dark. Hmmm, is there going to be designated camping areas or are people just going to set up camp wherever they feel like it in a field? I'm just trying to decide if I need to make it there in daylight hours..... I will be kissing hands and shaking babies all afternoon. Thanks for all your support! *bows* SCS #8251

Ohhhhhh, now that one stung a little But what he said, with my superior EeEXXTTReeeEEMMEee mad skillz I will no longer be using an altimeter, stuck or not. I will now simply pull "when I feel like it." I wouldn't advise that to anyone else. Please rememeber, I am the skygod. Don't try this at home I will be kissing hands and shaking babies all afternoon. Thanks for all your support! *bows* SCS #8251

That's a GREAT idea for my 100. Beer anyone?

From now on the only gear I will be fondling will be my own, or maybe Mouse's, but that's about it. And night jumping? I'll jump just about anything at night I will be kissing hands and shaking babies all afternoon. Thanks for all your support! *bows* SCS #8251

I just spoke with someone at USPA and my B license is in the mail! Boooyaaaa! Night jumps, here I come! BTW, I feel that I have now mastered every aspect of skydiving, even the ones I know nothing about. If you have any questions I will gladly answer them with some kind of snazzy quip. As a matter of fact, I will now be roaming the DZ passing out advice to everyone, whether they want it or not. I will also be weighing in on other people's conversations, and constantly refer to my "mad skillz" whenever someone questions my canopy size or descision to do large headown formations with 3 freefly jumps to my name. Yes, you are now all beneath me, and if you're lucky I might check your pin, but maybe not. Come to think of it, I will no longer check my own pin, or handles prior to exiting the aircraft. If something goes wrong, my skillz will save me. I have removed my AAD, RSL, and will no longer be wearing goggles or a helmet in freefall. My skillz will now allow my head to recover from a mid-air impact before I myself impact the ground. I've sewn a pouch inside my jumpsuit where I will now be keeping glass beer bottles for consumption under canopy, and have purchased a butane lighter so I can now smoke under canopy as well. I will now be landing cross or downwind on every jump for "fun," and to make it a little more exciting for the students I will be impressing. With my mad skillz I will now be carrying pepper spray to keep all the DZ girls off of me. Come to think of it, forget the pepper spray, I will bed them all before the night is through. If you need to talk about something, I will pretend to listen untill I find someone cooler to talk to, leaving you standing there in mid sentence. I have decided to mount a camera on a ringsite-like attachment aimed at my face so I can capture images of my incredible self skydiving. Who cares about the others on the jump? I only care about me. So should you. I am now a god of the sky, or should I call it skygod? Yes, that has a nice ring to it. From this day forward I will now be referd to as the skygod. Now get out of my way while I hit on your girlfriend. Seriously, JUST KIDDING!!!!! Thanks to everyone who's helped me to not suck quite as bad at everything skydiving related. Time to keep learning!

Condoms? Condoms?! People still use those things? I personally prefer anal sex. Sure the girl may walk a little funny the next day, but it avoids the pregnancy risk.

I'm sorry you're going through all this, but there's one question burning in my mind....... is your avatar a picture of someone with their ass painted with a "cigarette" stuck up there? If so, that's much more scary then being sued. I will be kissing hands and shaking babies all afternoon. Thanks for all your support! *bows* SCS #8251

Skydive The Farm is $23 to 14k Super Otter Skydive Atlanta is $25 to 14.5k King Air Tough descision...... so I go to both!

Hmmm, what's the deal with catered food? I read somewhere that dinners were provided each night and outback was catering on saturday night, but is that included in the registration, or seperate? Also, do we need to plan on providing our own breakfast/lunch? OR a) if provided will that be included in price or b) will it be available for purchase? I'm trying to hash out the last minute details here to stock up for the 6 day trip

I can see his argument about disagreeing with the comparison. You compared the total number of skydives with the number of drivers, If you had compared the number of skydivers to the number or drivers OR the total number of skydives to the total number of car trips it would be more comparable. Then you factor in the fatality ratios and woala! You've got yourself a more solid argument. Either way, good job on posting the info. It shows effort on your part to make a valid comparison.

Apparently he's sank 20 million into this project already. Hell, give me 20 million and I'll do it and have some change left over for me stuff. This guy just seems to have a lot of setbacks, from the wind shredding his balloon to it lifting off withou him today (). Maybe he's just not meant to do this..... Best of luck to him!

Nope, safe sex is when you have anal sex instead. Greatly reduced risk of pregnacy! I will be kissing hands and shaking babies all afternoon. Thanks for all your support! *bows* SCS #8251

I can relate to that. I figured out side sliding on my first dedicated sliding dive with another jumper. I just "did it." It was a bit tricky to keep fall rate while sliding, but got it by sliding dive two. On the other hand, I've jumped 3 times with someone I've tried to explain it to and they don't seem to get it yet. And they've got as many jumps as I do. Hmmm. Anyway, ever noticed how a lot of people go waaaaay out on a flyaround? If you side slide and pivot towards the target you can skirt around them within a few feet without much effort. For some reason people @ my jump numbers seem to have trouble with that..... Maybe I'm just happy I've found something I can do well - Because I suck at lots of other things I will be kissing hands and shaking babies all afternoon.

Yep, that's definately the best way to get any info on signups and such. BTW, I would hate to be either one of these guys. Talk about working your ass off! I think I've talked to James 3 or 4 times, and I'm just one person. This must be a love/hate relationship going on for them. I hope once this thing gets started they can both get a nice relaxing skydive and sit back with a cold one and admire all their hardwork coming to fruition. Anyone else on balloon load @ 6 a.m. on 6/6/08? I love sunrise but why the F! did I set this up at 6 a.m.? I'll be the guy sleeping on the balloon ride up I will be kissing hands and shaking babies all afternoon. Thanks for all your support! *bows* SCS #8251

That's right! I'll geek the camera on landing, then you just toss it to me and we reverse.

It helped me

If sliding on your butt through mud is embarassing, I should tell you about the time I slid on my shoulder/rig/side/legs through a cow field. And NO, all the brown stuff on me was not just mud Nothing like getting into a bus with cow shit all over your jumpsuit I will be kissing hands and shaking babies all afternoon.

Nice video. I like it when he calls it "insta-canopy" I know that shit must hurt. To the OP, hang in there man. It happens to everyone eventually. Hope won't happen again to you for a loooong time.
