  1. Shit. I'll be jumping in Minnefreakingsota during November. Not to mention December, January, Feb, March... cavete terrae.
  2. grue

    I had to do it....

    I saw Cutaway on DVD in the bargain bin at Walmart and couldn't help myself $5! cavete terrae.
  3. Aahaha, no. Let's just say that I'm very very very VERY picky when it comes to women, so I'm less experienced than most people. What happened was probably kinda boring for most of y'all, but it was new for me cavete terrae.
  4. you're not a virgin anymore Congrats on you're first hump. Pretty close, that'll do cavete terrae.
  5. 1:0:1 See if you can figure that one out. cavete terrae.
  6. Construction workers make up approximately 20% of all on-the-job fatalities in the United States. (I was watching the history channel today) cavete terrae.
  7. I had to tell somebody, and figured a bunch of skydivers would appreciate it, right? cavete terrae.
  8. Duuuuude! I'm 5'8", 235 pounds. I'm built like a homesick safe and I look like an overfed vulture in my GTi. That being said though, it's still the most fun I've had with clothes on and even though I'm a newbie, I can still get into the low 70's with it. Realllllly.... hm... I'm 6'3", 220 and figured I'm just too big.. Well, I guess I'll just need to get more jumps, then go find a demo! cavete terrae.
  9. It'll have been over 30 days since my last jump, so I'll no longer be current. cavete terrae.
  10. For most people, assuming I had the skill to be of help? 2000' or so. For my father, brother, or girlfriend? Until my AAD fired. Call me foolhardy, but there are people I'll put everything on the line for. cavete terrae.
  11. I'd love to try one, but there are a few things against that happening: 1. I only have 4 jumps 2. I'm a big guy, and I get the impression wingsuits are more for the "built like a marathon runner" type, not the "built like a hockey player" type . cavete terrae.
  12. Eh... I suppose, but it's still aggravating On the other hand, I've got a new girl to hang out with, she keeps me every bit as happy as jumping out of planes cavete terrae.
  13. The $110 retraining fee would certainly be more enjoyable in the form of 4 student freefall jumps Oh well, October, I await thee. cavete terrae.
  14. Gorgeous, beautiful, sweetie, babe, hon, and Tiff. cavete terrae.
  15. I don't know enough to comment about most canopies, but I hit turbulence for the first time on my 3rd jump, and it freaked me out. The canopy started bucking around 1000' AGL , so I looked up and saw the end cells flapping a bit. Didn't turn out to be a big deal, but it sure as hell makes ya pay attention cavete terrae.
  16. Somebody had seen Cutaway a few too many times cavete terrae.
  17. 8,365 days without alcohol. I've never had it cavete terrae.
  18. I'm on a 290 right now, and it's, uh, very tame. I'm a big guy though (6'3", 220lbs without gear), but I'm looking forward to downsizing. cavete terrae.
  19. Humps:jumps:firsts(beer owed) -But the first number doesn't have to be humps, it can be anything of significance to you. Ahhhh... 1:2:0 for me, then Next trip is x:2:1 tho! First freefall coming up! cavete terrae.
  20. Excuse my noobieness, but what are these numbers? cavete terrae.
  21. 3 hour, 45 minute continuous conversation on my mobile phone with the girl! 1/3 of my battery is left, too! Time to go to bed, tho, 4 mile run at 7AM, CST. cavete terrae.
  22. Looks like no couchfreaks, unfortunately. I'm gonna have a lot of soccer that weekend. College athletics make having a life outside them a PITA. I don't know how I'm gonna convince my coach I have to take a day off every 30 days. cavete terrae.
  23. Well, I did the "go find something 12 feet up, stand on it, and look around trick", and today, I stood up both of my landings. The first one, I slid a little, but stood up, the second one, I NAILED it. GREAT feeling! Out of 4 jumps, I've had 3 standups, makes me feel speshul cavete terrae.
  24. Well, today went MUCH better. I moved the padding around a little bit, no pain at all! cavete terrae.
  25. Highest and lowest are the same for me: 3,500' I'm off the static line on my next trip though! cavete terrae.
