  1. yeah but then theres the whole culture at uni.. i guess if i took a bit of advice from here i could have a limited beer fund which would in turn limit the capacity for my own (drunken, not sure i can do anything about my sober) foolishness.
  2. I usually don't drink so..... I'd probably be dead many times over by now if I did. So i should save my liver and hopefully not femur?
  3. i need a "sex for jump tickets" t shirt unless you have boobies, that shirt might not be as effective as you'd like... i hear breast enhancement surgery is at an all time high at the moment. And as for the both thing.. that means giving up food and i like food
  4. i need a "sex for jump tickets" t shirt
  5. Simple, im soon to be a student and the toss up is beer or skydiving? right now its the beer talking so i guess its judging itself but hey, semi serious question at half 1 in the morning
  6. Do not under any circumstances listen to what i say. I meant well but shouldnt have said anything. I was just trying to share my experiences as a fellow begginer. As for the glancing thing. It wasnt taught it (another reason to completely ignore me) just did it and found it much easier, talked to my instructor later and he said he thought it gave me a better idea of where i was in relation to the ground rather than the point i was looking at in front of me. I agree it has potential to go wrong. Another example of why i shouldnt of been posting, i didnt actually mean punch the toggles down but it could have been misinterpreted. Apologies again and if anyone can tell me how ill delete my earlier posts
  7. Haha, i've done that one as well. Was my 3rd (i think) jump and i was being guided in on the radio, quite a windy day. i heard "okay now arms all the way up" me being quite worried about my flare interpreted that as "flare flare flare". had to ride it out and hit the ground quite hard, luckily no damage done
  8. I havent been jumping long enough to know the answers to your questions, however i found when i was first trying to stick landings and run them off if i glanced to the side a couple of times as im coming in it gave me better perception of my height, then just punch down firmly those toggles all the way at around 10-15 ft. If your having trouble, check with your instructors, they're usually alright
  9. The only post i remember seeing of his was in the hook knife clothing removal thread so i hope thats a compliment?
  10. I can barely afford the sport i've so blatantly revolutionised, how am i meant to afford bobble heads?
  11. Isnt the whole reason we do this sport because its exciting? i think i've just revolutionised skydiving
  12. i did think of the A380 a bit after starting this post, however as i was a bit strung out i couldnt really be bothered to go to the trouble of sorting it out. the 600 figure i got was from googling capacity of a 747 and the first link said there was some special edition or something that could fit 10% more passengers (with the original capacity figure given of 550). And like we all know, the internet never lies. Who cares if the plane drops a few feet during jump run.. no planes perfectly good anyway as the saying goes.. and that relative wind business, speed skydivers go faster than that.. admittedly they usually dont get thrown around like a ragdoll when they're doing it but hey, it could work
  13. Yeah but if i didnt get rid of the seats, then people would have to gear up at altitude and that just adds to the complications. Besides i wouldnt be allowed my 1000's of people bigways.. i would be limited to a mere 600 or so. As for the C-5, i had no clue what one was so i googled it and theres a pic with its nose cone open. whether it could do that in flight is another question but im sure it could be worked out. That could be quite fun as long as there wasnt anything sharp and pointy sticking out of the walls
  14. this is a fantasy, battery farming jumpers is perfectly acceptable
  15. Has anyone ever considered how much fun a dropship one could be? if you could somehow shield the jumpers from the massive jet engines and figure a way for it to go slow enough to allow for reasonable exits and not too much drift from LZ on jump run and the plethora of other issues with jumping out of one. strip out all the seats and that. add some scatter cusions and multiple doors and you'd be good to go. you could even fit a tailgate for dropping cars and inflatable whale flocks. You could have a couple of thousand people for a bigway, pretty awesome boogies. fast climb rate etc. Open to HALO and HAHO...... you could even moan like an airline passenger on your way to altitude. P.S if this is worded weirdly, its late in the UK and im feeling a bit buzzed out, humour me
