  1. I like hot dogs with onions, cheese, boobies, and all covered in tangy barbeque sauce .... Life is short ... jump often.
  2. Thanks for the video normiss ...... Life is short ... jump often.
  3. You can learn a lot from DSE. Mostly, how to be SAFE around others you are flying with. If he suggests something to you, listen. He actually cares. If you listen closer and more often, you might even learn how to take a proper picture ..... it's not just point and shoot. Life is short ... jump often.
  4. Legal Adult goes on chicken killing spree..... who is next on his list ..... Life is short ... jump often.
  5. This may not be a "First" ...... but I think some BEER is in order here ......
  6. That's OK. I like AC/DC just as much as Rush .....
  7. I was born in 1962 also ..... my first concert .... 1976 .... Rush, Ted Nugent, Bee Bop Deluxe ... Memorial Auditorium, Sacramento CA ..... I still love Rush ..... I wish I was 14 again ..... Life is short ... jump often.
  8. Spent a lot of days in Minot, dropping out of Canada thru Portal. Also spent lots of time in Grand Forks and Fargo. Two things I remember about North Dakota ....... damn cold and damn windy. Not everyday of course. Life is short ... jump often.
  9. I noticed you modified my response. You can not get proper info without combination questions, as stated by others. ie : 20 to 30 doing accuracy or 40 to 50 doing XRW. Both of which are of course relevant and pursued by those age groups Janet. Life is short ... jump often.
  10. To have under, over and all around. Thru backslides, corking, and long spots .......... etc. Life is short ... jump often.
  11. What's a GoPro ..... Life is short ... jump often.
  12. THIS is the key. Looking thru the ring sight and not focusing on it. My first ring sight was one of those four sided rainbow rings. I hated the feedback and busted out the plastic center. Being able to see straight thru made it perfect. I could look past but still see the outline. I used that system on many hundreds of freefly jumps following jumpers just keeping them in frame while interacting in the jump. Later I progressed to different tape configurations inside my goggles. After 1000+ tandem vids I was down to just one (1) thin tape high in the goggles ( with a small angle in the middle ). Keep the instructor's head just below the line and you are golden. No center line needed as you can't see it anyway. The centering just happens magically. Life is short ... jump often.
  13. Michael Jackson was OK with it. Life is short ... jump often.
  14. Due to the deserved warning from billvon, a moderator and extremely knowledgeable and respected skydiver I have ended all experiments/games/trolls. This is the real me, this is the type of post you should base your opinion of me on, not the 17 previous pages of nonsense.Quote Janet ...... this is the real you. Janet the game playing troll. See ya on the next page Jan ..... Life is short ... jump often.
  15. Missing Lieve today . Life is short ... jump often.
  16. Have fun ........ I say it to everyone ...... if they have 1 jump or 10,000 jumps. Life is short ... jump often.
  17. Are you going to let your family dictate how you live your life forever ? Life is short ... jump often.
  18. I think we decided you are NOT a whuffo anymore ..... considering the circumstances.
  19. Be aware of the line of flight ( of the plane that you jumped out of ). Don't chase people down the line of flight. Only chase perpendicular to the line of flight. Chase meaning, they keep moving away from you and you can't seem to keep up. Life is short ... jump often.
  20. That's a GREAT picture ...... keep it forever. Life is short ... jump often.
  21. Quote Well at least you can feel safe knowing that no one will ever try to invade your neighborhood ........ . Life is short ... jump often.
  22. QuoteThese are two completely different situations. I don't use AAD's on my containers. I don't want to be told I must have one. During freefall I know what altitude I/we are at. How jumpers can go low without knowing is beyond me. On the subject of swooping. I have regularly jumped on the same jump runs, side by side, with jumpers who I know will be swooping in the landing area. They know where I am and I know where they are. I will do both of these things all day long. Let the swoopers swoop, and let the jumpers jump ........ Life is short ... jump often.
