Hell yeah! My favorite are the ladies on the boderline of becoming a cougar, tandem students. Easy pickings especially if they know or think your an instructor, but before the haters at the DZ click ruin your ride. I mean lets be honest where else is a 40 something pudgy balding guy who lives in a trailer going to get any? Whats really pathetic are the guys who do one tandem and wear the "Touch me I'm skydiver" shirt to the grocery store on Thursday nights. Or the 100-jump wonders at the bar tellign women their badass skydivers. The only time I used my skydiving skills to get with a wuffo is the time I showed this chick the mantis position. It involves keeping your hands in front of you to keep her thighs out of the way as you eat at the Y. -Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

Marijuana is an important part of the safety culture in skydiving. I dont care if its legal or illegal in California because I will break the law if it means being a safer skydiver. Liek a hungry man stealing a loaf of bread. Hmmm hungry now. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

I always jump with my cypress just in case I get knocked out by some yahoo on a zoo load. ANd to those of you doubters who think AADs are unreliable - yes theoreticly that is possible they dont work. But when mine was nearing its 4-year check I set the firing alt to about 2.5 and tested it in real life. I'm sure it works and that my reserve opens fast and hard (thats what she said).

Do you knwo any AFF or Tandem instructors who *dont* have an A license? Just because I try to stay modest and not flash a D license does not mean I dont have one. For someone with a college degree you don't have very good logic skills. Just goes to show you that book learning isnt everything. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

Is this supposed to be a joke? Not very funny. From what I heard the dual reserve pin design is not compatible with CRW. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

Thanks for the one relevant reply in this thread. I was at Perris last year and might try them (does anyone know when Dan BC takes vacation?). Who is BillVon? I thought Perris has a lot of talent but the "inflatable" talent was a bit stuck up. I like trim women but I think theyre snobbish and cant deal with a man with some meat on his bones. Thanks again!

I havent updated my profile - see my other post. I bet many of the people claimgin to have thousands of jumps here are faking it. If it makes you more comfortable you can assume I have the skill of someone with a few thousand jumps. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

Now, that's funny. Why do you think thats funny? Do you think there are no innocent people in jail? Have you heard of entrampment? Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

I'm mostly a belly flyer. The freakflying thing is not really my thing. I'm going to get some tunnel time in Pigeon Forge soon. Seems these days all the "talent" is leaning towards likes to go down head down (which I like). So I'm going to update my skills. If its like belly flying I should be coaching pretty soon. Do you have a picture? Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

AFF Impossible, and Tandem, Video staff, with that experience? None of the big DZ's! Is your profile updated? My profile has not been updated in a long time but I think jump numbers are pretty meaningless. I know plenty of high jump number morons and some people just progress faster. I was jumping a Stiletto when everyone was telling me I was a DGIT. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

Hey guys, Ive been away for 3 to 4 months for no fault of my own. Damn cops. Whats been shaking on this board? I'm looking forward to this season - getting my pencil sharpened and my recurrencies "signed off" (hehehe). Does anyone know of a DZ looking for tandem, AFF, video staff this season? With cool but not too bright talent (no college towns) is a plus. -Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

Never. I have never been kicked off a DZ. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

I'll be there! Its gonna be a real hell-raiser. Has someone warned the wuffos to sheild their eyes? Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

I don't get the "joke" either. Because all my posts are serious. You can confirm my description with others who were at the camp. Nipple Boy A-19820 I was at the camp Hmmm... so you claim. I certainly don't recall seeing you. What groups were you in the first two days? Are you one of the ozzies? Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

If you jumped more often or did more bigways you would see that the issues are often the same. Once you get more expereince you will realize this. "new material" - if you don't believe what I posted feel free to ask around. Some of the posters on this thread were in that camp I think. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

You jump with a Cypres (No, I won't point out that you don't know how to spell. My guess is that you jump a Saber). Pussy. I used to jump a Saber 150 right off student status. There's nothing to be ashamed of jumping a Cypres (thanks for the correction) - it's strictly in case I get knocked out. I dont want my friends chasing me down. Jump safe - always jump an AAD.

Hey guys - I was out for a bit. So, didn't get to follow this thread. What was the conclusion? Is Barrack the real deal? Thanks Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

Hi guys, I just got back from this months bigway camp in California - took me a while to drive back since I cant fly any more ( http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3429970). The first day we started off with 20 wyas which was a bit disappointing but I guess it was to let the newbies get a taste of the bigway routine. No big whup. I offered to go last out but the organizer said he wanted me clsoer up - to lay a solid base he said. The first few jumps went off well but I was concerned by the traffic in the landing area. Since we had some issues last time regarding the landing pattern I had decided to just hum it down and set a solid landing direction. So I turned off my Cypress for the third jump of the day. Unfortunately the damn thing did not want to turn off, so I had to pull high (I am very safet consious). On the next jump when I asked the one of the organizers for help with turning my Cypress off she looked at me kinda funny and said she didnt know how because she jumped a Vigil. So I couldnt be as safe as I wanted, but I guess thats the risk you take on bigways. On day 3 things were a little weird. On a couple of the jumps the organizer said I was reaching for grips - but in reality it was the formation that was unsteady because of all the hard docks and I felt at least I was making sure we got the completion. This happened more than once I guess I'm just really eager to get that record! Anyhoo, they decided to try a new grip plan where the person docking doesnt pick up the grips! It is a very interesting idea so if you see it on a bigway somewhere you can thank the grip-happy Nipple Boy! I always say dont hate, innovate! On the last day of the camp we were jumping with 02. Very cool. I discovered something really interesting. If you breathe in and out very rapidly with the o2 tube in your helmet you can get a pleasant little buzz going ;) It almost felt like being back at Couch Freaks which was on the same weekend (man I miss hitting the beer truck before getting on a sweaty Otter). I figure the only downside was that I lost color vision on the 3rd jump of the day and was hopelessly lost. All the jumpsuits looked black white or grey! Luckily there were a few people who went low so I didnt get noticed too much. Finally - I should say it was hot as balls in California. I dont know if it was because of the forest fires but I felt like I had sweated off 20 pounds. With Jump for the Cause coming up there were a number of hotties in pink - I think the ladies noticed because by the end of the camp I was getting quite a few stares! Anyhow, cant wait to do it again!! See you all in June next year. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

Have you guys seen this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbNXNti6NGU I cant believe the weak flying skills I'm seeing here. As instructors I think these guys really dropped the ball on this one. I think my new system will prevent these problems. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

What? What is this reading carefully and then quoting or comenting business? Obviously I am in the wrong forum. I bid you Good Day Sir. Good Day Sir! Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

Good point. Watch the libs run around trying to bury the interviews with her. I don't trust her one bit. Listen to this: Here's the conversation: MCRAE: Could I ask her about his actual birthplace? I would like to see his birthplace when I come to Kenya in December. Was she present when he was born in Kenya? OGOMBE: Yes. She says, yes, she was, she was present when Obama was born. MCRAE: When I come in December. I would like to come by the place, the hospital, where he was born. Could you tell me where he was born? Was he born in Mombasa? OGOMBE: No, Obama was not born in Mombasa. He was born in America. MCRAE: Whereabouts was he born? I thought he was born in Kenya. OGOMBE: No, he was born in America, not in Mombasa. MCRAE: Do you know where he was born? I thought he was born in Kenya. I was going to go by and see where he was born. OGOMBE: Hawaii. Hawaii. Sir, she says he was born in Hawaii. In the state of Hawaii, where his father was also learning, there. The state of Hawaii. Notice the way the lib translator backtracks at the end - it figures. Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First!

Great article - very well thought out and a pleasant read. But, I think you meant the Washington Times - almost as prestegious as the WaPo and founded by the Hon. Rev. Sun Myung Moon. I like it for it's unbiased views and because it pisses of liberals. "Safety First! Fun Forever!"

not that i am a tandem-master, but if i listen to some talking, for them to keep their fun on any given work-jump, they can literally get rid of those students they're sick and tired off. now, that would probably mean a whole lot of off-landings with female tandem-students, since their curvy figures would possibly make your system prone to fail; so if the tandem-master experiences serious problems and cant release the [female] passenger, an off-landings is acceptable, since those tissues tend to drop from the sky as if they were still in freefall.. What a s*tty attitude! Your first responsibility as an instructor should be to your student. THat beign said, student size has nothing to do with it. Have you heard of heavier jumpers having aharder time cutting away? I never let the appearance of my students affect my judgement. If I feel someone is datable, make sure they are no longer a student. Either get their paperwork done quickly or give them the TUB speech and offer to go to the lanes with them.

Thanks for the positive feedback it is really helpful. I think your missing a key feature of the new system - it's a BaseR-type rig for the student coupled with the skyhook. Altitude no longer should be a concern. The student can be released at almost any time. This may also be helpful for BASE training though its harder to find BASE TIs these days. About puking by the time the student has puked on you its too late. But in a scenario where the first chunks have just started to fly a quick cutaway might help matters. If nothing else it should scare the student into sh*tting themselves instead of barfing all over you. Been there done that! Nipple Boy A-19820 "Safety First! Fun Forever!"
