  1. Hahahahaha!! Sounds like a fun group! And may be worth reviving at the next Perris bigway camp. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"
  2. Good to know! Familiar with the arm wrestling in western europe. But shootout on jump run sounds dangerous and I'm all about safety. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"
  3. Just logging on to this website after a break. Saw a couple of messages asking if I went in. Answer is no but thanks for asking. Glad to see this place still hopping, has teh issue of freeflyers exit first or belly flyers been settled? Have a fun story about that but thats for another time. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First!

  4. Hey all. Been a while since I been on here. Forgot my password for a couple years until a flashback a couple of weeks ago (thank you Lucy!). Just thought I'd share some wisdom after a recent 4th of July incident. Whats the old saying "nothing more dangerous than skydivers on weather hold"? Anyhoo, for anyone that needs to know launching bottle rockets from the ole butt cheeks on America's birthday can be a dangerous business. So DO NOT DO and if you choose to ignore my advice: #1 - Make sure the buddy whose lighting it is sober and shorten the fuse. DO NOT HESITATE, DO NOT WAIT FOR LIFTOFF, DO NOT CLENCH !! #2 - if hairy do some maintenance first, cannot stress enough. #3 - Ice and aloe, keep nearby Showing up to work with an ass-donut and waddle is no bueno no matter what story you try to sell.

  5. Thanks been doing OK. Healing up fine not skydiving related (never been hurt - very safety conscious), just a minor slip up with some New Years fireworks. How did you know I was injured? Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"
  6. Thanks - I guess I just got my riggers ticket! And RIP Frank. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"
  7. I have a D license. Don't think I need a recurrency. Have had many breaks in jumping been just fine. Did have a few fun times giving the instructor a heart attack by exiting on "Door" hehe... maybe time for that old game again. What DZ do you jump at? Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"
  8. Thanks - I think I get it now. I am very safety conscious and believe in the science 100%. Will be a much larger circle at the safety meeting for sure I imagine. Will have to walk over to pass - no big whup. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"
  9. Yeah - tried that. But Courier is not a good font for a rigger seal. Believe me I got quite the look from the manifest girl at Elsinore some years ago. Need something "aged" if you know what I mean. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"
  10. Got it - I will look for an estate sale in that case. Thanks Bigun, Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"
  11. Thanks. I will head over there and see if I can figure it out. Not looking for a bogus way to update my reserve the seal is what makes it legit! Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"
  12. So want to get some advice from the brain trust. I'm about to get back in the air after a loooong hiatus. DZ website says mask required when within 6ft of others. So how are they doing RW? Mask under my fraphat? Or over? What if it blows over my goggles? Seems pretty unsafe or am I overthinking this? Rather take my chances catching it from the meeker. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First!

  13. Hello boys, girls and others, So I have been away for a while and just logged back on after all these years. Fuck me if I had the hardest time finding the old forums and wading through the pictures and colors. Did they sell this place to Zuckerburg? Any how the reason I'm back on here is that I'm looking to get current again and need to find a rigger seal and press. Well used is better. Any leads much appreciated!

  14. Very funny - bigway in California not ND. Just dont want to fly in the tunnel at the dropzone for a number of reasons. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"
  15. So you plan on losing 50 lbs in less than a month? I saw that tried a couple of times. They both wound up in the hospital with multiple and varying types of hypos. You may want to re-think this part of your game plan. The only tried and true method of losing weight is less calories in than calories going out. 50 lbs in a month is extreme. As soon as you’re body discovers the intake has been cut off, your metabolism will slow way down. Find a big old jump suit from the eighties, that’s what I did, it slowed my fat ass right down. Thanks for the advice jclalor and BIGUN, I know 50 lbs is a bit much but I have the fallrate dialed in more or less with my old balloon suit. Its my canopy wingload I need to get under 2.0 theres some rule for the bigway. May just have to tell manifest I have a 230 in my container. Tried the 'zone but ate all the bars by the second day. Tried a "cleanse" thanks to my wife - that cayenne burns worse on the way out than it does going in. I'm hopeful this one does the trick. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"
