Interesting. I said I'd definitely keep doing it, but I don't think I would've started. I'd have found something to do that could kill me. But I'd still keep doing it now. Now I'm confused. I think I peed my pants. ________________________________________________ Mike

Dude, where did you get your physics? It's all about the prop torque. ________________________________________________ Mike

Okay, please, please write a book. I'm too impatient to wait between your awesome stories! ________________________________________________ Mike

She'd never seen "The Breakfast Club"? Hands down, the best of the Brat-Pack flicks! Come on, Kris. What about St. Elmo's Fire? The pre-fakies version of Demi? Yeah! ________________________________________________ Mike

Damn, are you using duct tape? ________________________________________________ Mike

Like Tom said, they can just be cool and earn the respect of jumpers. Friends don't just disrepect friends. ________________________________________________ Mike

I answered yes because I can't imagine how fun it would be to fly unencumbered without fear of injury or death. I would do it just like I still play "regular" sports now. They are fun, not risky. I do BASE because "it chose me" as stated above. If it were just another fun thing to do, then I have no doubt that some other way to risk life and limb, and feel that "now" would choose to reach out and grab me. Yes, I would still BASE, but for different reasons. ________________________________________________ Mike

Allright, I thought all DZ's just knew who the stinky guy was. Now you're telling me you gotta have a contest? What's the entry fee, a box of matches? ________________________________________________ Mike

I'm thinking $75 at Quincy for the Bi-plane + stills. Does that sound right? ________________________________________________ Mike

I bet if you're careful, they will last until the canopy needs new lines anyway. ________________________________________________ Mike

Yes, it's just a lanyard. I think the RWS website will even show you how to make one. ________________________________________________ Mike

Thanks guys!! ________________________________________________ Mike

Okay, I'm pretty sure I'm getting the right picture, but can anyone post a drawing of your favorite setup? Do both of you actually loop the break cord? ________________________________________________ Mike

Damn Don. I'm flattered. I need to get my dead cow touched up! What's going on up that way next weekend? We were gonna come up on some business that fell through, but maybe we can head up anyway, for fun. You gonna be jumping anywhere?? Gimme a call!! Kiss Robin for me! ________________________________________________ Mike

Kris, You dirty fu(King Fu(k! You went and got tattooed without even dropping your local redneck sushi eating brotha a line! That is sweet! Give me a call you dirty nasty bastad!! Ooh, and the BD 2002 video came in, so you gotta come over and check it out and drink some beers! And here's my sweet little buddy...http://members.cox.net/drewmichael Peace! ________________________________________________ Mike

Yeah, the term "donate" is used loosely in terms of the plasma market. ________________________________________________ Mike

"What, you don't think a brotha will get naked up in here?" -Anon

Atually, it IS AC/DC's belief that their balls should be held EVERY night. I don't know what the hell that was about. I'm not even drunk. See y'all. ________________________________________________ Mike

Now THAT makes sense. The DZ was compensated, and compensated the pilot by letting him use THE DZ's plane for free flight time. ________________________________________________ Mike

Otay, otay. So you're saying the issue is jumpers and not compensation then. I can totally see the FAA trying to pull that off, but I still don't think that flying jumpers for free is any different than flying Granny free. However, you are correct, the FAA hasn't called to ask for my opinion....yet. ________________________________________________ Mike

When did they rule THAT?? So there is no such thing as a private, because you receive flight time even wen you fly by yourself, let alone taking grandma for a spin. I just don't think so. No pay, or splitting the fuel, no commercial as far as I know. That flight time thing just doesn't make sense to me. No offense, Hook! ________________________________________________ Mike

A rabbit with big scary teeth like this! Grrrrrrr. ________________________________________________ Mike

Morning, Officer. ________________________________________________ Mike
