  1. ***But about one or two minutes into free falling, his emergency parachute opened too early*** WOW! What alt did he jump from? Live hard, Live fast, Die broke. D.S. 118118
  2. I have had the same problem since I first started jumping. It happens on every other jump. Try not to release the pressure on the ride to altitude. It helps to keep the pressure the same as the ground since that's where you are going to finish your jump anyway. Live hard, Live fast, Die broke. D.S. 118118
  3. Me too. I always think I don't photograph well. Or maybe in my head I just think I'm better looking that I really am? Live hard, Live fast, Die broke. D.S. 118118
  4. Is 118118 too long or taken? Live hard, Live fast, Die broke. D.S. 118118
  5. The communication from the DZ was terrible! Making a new skydiver feel like a nuisance and wasting their holiday is out of order. You should just hang up a sign saying "The CCI and DZO hate skydiving and are only interested in making money. Please go away". Live hard, Live fast, Die broke. D.S. 118118
  6. I hate it when someone steals my landing spot Live hard, Live fast, Die broke. D.S. 118118
  7. I'd so forget to pull! But at least I'd die with a smile on my face. Its how I would want to go. Live hard, Live fast, Die broke. D.S. 118118
  8. Its a great feeling when it just clicks and you just feel it. Well done on pushing through the bad times. It only gets better. Live hard, Live fast, Die broke. D.S. 118118
  9. Still waiting for mine anyone in Europe got theirs yet? Live hard, Live fast, Die broke. D.S. 118118
  10. 'whuffo' Was used in a skydiving film called Cutaway. I have seen the film and the word whuffo used in context and still dont understand what it means. Maybe its an American thing? Live hard, Live fast, Die broke. D.S. 118118
  11. If your using full face to protect yourself from getting smacked in the face then fine. I am going into FS now and will soon be buying a full face for this very reason. But I will miss the wind a noise of a open faced and will wear my Gath whenever I can, like tracking or other fun jumps. Just my opinion
  12. To each their own ... I prefer no helmet or an open face helmet. The feeling is freedom! +1 If you dont like wind, maybe skydiving aint for you? Live hard, Live fast, Die broke. D.S. 118118
  13. People like Travis Pastrana are only dumb idiots if they dont know the risks they are taking. I'm sure they do and accept the risk of death. I like how you think you have the perfect balance between acceptable and dumb risk and expect everyone to follow your rules. People should just let people decide what risks they want to take in life and leave them alone. Freedom

  15. I was goin to get ordained. But then I thought.. fuck it, and ate some biscuits instead. Dude ?. out Live hard, Live fast, Die broke. D.S. 118118
  16. Iv seen the the one where they was testing Point Break myths. That was a good one. This new one will be shown in the UK on the Discovery channel at 10:00pm Monday! Live hard, Live fast, Die broke. D.S. 118118
  17. Blue Peter did a AFF challenge a few years back. Really good viewing. It took me back to my AFF and all the highs and lows that came with it. You can download the two vids from Skydivingmovie.com Part1: http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=586 Part2: http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=588 Live hard, Live fast, Die broke.

  18. I realy like the look of this mag. Dont get wrong, I love Skydive the mag. But its a bit too responsible and tame. Kind of has to be since its from the BPA. So its good to have a mag from the other side of skydiving. The beer drinking, naked jumping, bed hopping, sorry mum I know you had high hopes for me, side of skydiving. I totally respect what your trying to do. So as soon as I get payed, I'm going to do my bit and subscribe to this mag. Looking forwards to the first copy! Live hard, Live fast, Die broke. D.S. 118118
  19. Dunkeswell is a great, friendly DZ along the coast. 15k and a king air! http://www.skydivethewell.com/index.php?p=0 Netheravon is closer. 13k and run by the army. Never been there but hear mixed reviews. http://www.netheravon.com/ Live hard, Live fast, Die broke. D.S. 118118
  20. The AN-2 is going to be at the twin beach boogie at Dunkeswell this year
  21. I did the same with pizza. I used to order a pizza every sunday, but then I worked out that just making something to eat will get me 2 jump tickets a month! Other habits you will pick up are *You check the local weather forecast every hour before the weekend. *When someone asks you where you're from, you reply with the name of your DZ, not your hometown. *You try to convince the flight attendant on a commercial flight that you really! would be much more comfortable sitting on the floor. *Your thinking about taking all the but the driver's seats out of your car. *You find yourself mentally telling the pilot when to flare while landing on a commercial flight. And many more. Live hard, Live fast, Die broke. D.S. 118118
  22. First paraplegic person to go solo in freefall= BEER!! Top man. Live hard, Live fast, Die broke. D.S. 118118
  23. I am the exact opposite of you. I am 25 and live like a teenager. I go out of my way not to be committed to anything. I always feel pressured to grow up and start a family, get a mortgage, start a career, etc..... But that just aint me. We are most happiest when we be are selfs. At the end of the day we each have to look back at our lives when we are old and all that is going to matter then is, Did I enjoy it? I want to be like Frank Sinatra and be able to say, I did it my way. Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive -- the risk to be alive and express what we really are. Don Miguel Ruiz Live hard, Live fast, Die broke.
