Only 15 jumps? Where are your JM's? Not all of them can teach.... How come
their not kicking you in the ass breaking these bad wuffo habits? Talk to the
JM/I
about getting a more experianced mean assed bastard to help you. On the other
hand you have to realize skydiving takes some work on your part and bo bo's
come with the sport, specially while your learning the basics...you can be
doing everything right and still get skint up...suck it up and either quit or
drive on ;(

I should have mentioned that I am in the UK where the training
programme is perhaps different. For such an extreme sport as
skydiving, I guess that I am a little surprised that there seems to be
such little training (at least where I jump.) I was taught my PLF on
day of training which was mid June but never once has it been
mentioned to me since. In fact, I have only gone through my emergency
cut away procedures once since then. There have been long breaks
between my jumps due to bad weather. On the day of my jump, the owner
of the DZ said that I may not get a jump due to the winds being
unpredictable. I think he let me jump in the end because I have been
going to the DZ almost every weekend and have often missed out due to
the weather. I aked my JM if perhaps I should have radio assistance
because it had been some time since my previous jump and also because
the winds were so changeable. He said that he thought I'd be fine
without it.

I'm a bit bored now of talking about my accident. The irony is that I
have landed on my feet on every single jump except the last one. I
guess my ego told me to put my hand down when I slid. The actual jump
went well and I am now just four good jumps away from Cat 8. I managed
to do four jumps on the weekend of my training which could not have
gone better. The weather was perfect, in fact my first ever jump was
on the sunset lift. I look forward to have more weekends like that
one. It is end of season here in the UK and so I shouldn't miss too
much of next season assuming my wrist heals quickly. Until then I can
continue the practice of using my left hand. At least masturbation has
taken on a whole new dimension .

Thats the way we got it, once...on the FJC day, falling off folding
chairs...Thats why its important to move forward quickly or have
some old knock kneed bums around to make you do ground drills if your jumps are
delayed, cuz automatic motor skills are learned by repetition. SPX was strict
about student minimums though...most of the old jumped out dz bums have been
run off, not cuz they were a big expence...5 bucks to sign off a students
pack..a free meal or jump once in a while to drill the students and keep an
eye on them cuz they said what they thought and hurt both staff & youngsters
feelings...wudda done it for free it basically just gave them an excuse to come
out to the DZ. The BPA don't require packing skills to be signed off, Yawl are
going upscale also huh? ;)P

Which is bullshit. You don't know. You haven't been to dropzones for
years. I say that there's lots of experienced people still at
dropzones who haven't been run off, who do help others - students,
friends, each other.

>not cuz they were a big expence...5 bucks to sign off a students

Funny - nowadays the same people do it not in some sort of expectation
of some sort of gratuity but because they feel like it - it's a good,
proper, and when all is said and done, constructive thing to do for
skydivers new to the sport and for the sport in general as a whole.

>wudda done it for free it basically just gave them an excuse to come

Nevermind the excuse of going out to the dz to skydive. Nevermind
that.

>The BPA don't require packing skills to be signed off, Yawl are
>going upscale also huh? ;

I don't know about the BPA but I would think that a demonstration of
packing skills is required to be signed off though, the imagined lack
of it as well as the presence of some imagined concept of "old dz
bums" being run off does serve your purpose of denigrating the sport
and its people so that the sport which, through your own idiocy and
shortcomings is no longer a viable outlet for you, is not so large of
a loss.

Oh, the whole folding chair thing I can believe - I jumped off the 2nd
floor inside the building at Waller to practice the PLF for my round
jump but what's bullshit is your contention that "all the old jumped
out dz bums have been run off," -unless you're saying that running off
old jump bums was rampant at SPX back in and before the mid 90's?

Yeah, true (aside from the selective cut n' paste) but it's still
bullshit to suggest that all the old dz bums have nowadawys been run
off.


>hats the way we got it at SPX back in 90, once you wuzzn't even around

Ah, so back in those glorious "outlaw 90's" salad days when old dz
bums were being run off at SPX - something I wasn't around to
experience is somehow a valid argument suggesting nowadays all the old
dz bums have been run off.

Nope, there were witnesses and it was that 2nd floor walkway at the
top of the spiral stairs, above the packing area leading to the
upstairs classroom, the rigging loft, couple of bunkrooms, and further
up on the 3rd floor, Dick's apartment - the 2nd floor above the
packing area and off into a PLF down in the packing area. I think
someone video'd it.

I don't have the video but I have witnesses. Ask Russell Webb - it
was his round and he was there. Otherwise, get your stupid self out
to Waller and *I'll do it again* right before I jump the round again
(with Russell's permission, of course).

You see - I can back up and am willing to back up any or all of what I

Uh, I think he did both and you forgot to mention that he was also one
of those big, bad, only in it for the money and screw the rest, TwinT
dzo's complete with AFF.

That's true. You been taking my suggestion and chewing the prozac, I
see.

Oh, wait - nevermind. Must have been a random synapse accidentally
firing. I'm just a current skydiver with more than a clue about
what's the deal than you ever did or, barring currency on your part,
ever will.

>you represent what I see as a dz bum,a dz hustler...ya just want your jumps payed for.

But, all the dz bums were run off! How'd they miss me? Hustler, hell
- I don't make any promises I can't deliver on and people aren't
forced to have video or surprised with a bill at the end of the day -
all their choice. I just provide a service. Hustling is doing
something like telling some student they were backsliding or trying to
take a bunch of novices up on a bigway while it was the "big
experienced organizer D" who was flailing across the sky.

>..hell yer not even a pure
>funjumper,

Ah, the political, caste conscious slant rears its scaley head. I
would say that on all my funjumps that I am a funjumper and in my
experience, most of my non-funjumps (like with cameras strapped to my
head with a specific mission in mind), they were fun too.

>just a little long haired kid looking for a handout!

No more of a handout than a dzo charging for a ticket, an instructor
charging for their experience, a rigger charging for their expertise,
or a packer charging for their ability. I don't take a thing which
wasn't earned. It all comes down to choice. No one forces video
(except for comeptition rw where it's kind of necesarry and the
camerageek's a member of the team.)

Oh, it's on video - I just never got a dub of it and it did happen but
let's take it further - I suppose all your brown water adventures

the old one dementional bums who, cut grass, fueled planes, checked student

Do nothing but and have your rent hang on the dive and the weather -
that's a job - but still, there are worse jobs I suppose. Sour grapes
- you never got asked. Were never considered capable.

True sportsman? Hell, I've competed regionally in and across Texas,
at Collegiates, and multiple Nationals - as well as a whole slew of
little throw together fun and scrambles meets in 3way, 4way, 8way,
10way speed, 16way, and 20way. Tied down? No, I do what I want, when
I want - skydiving is an option. But not for you - the root of your
sour grapes.

When I looked down at the group gathering to watch me bust my ass I
saw someone with a camera but it never crossed my mind to get a dub -
unless, of course, I actually *had* busted my ass - or stood it up.

No, I'm positive it happened - I was there and unlike you, with no
pretense struggling to be made in order to set about some lameass
self-aggrandizing with the purpose of proving somehow how "special" I
believe myself to be, why would I lie about something so inane as
jumping off the 2nd floor to practice a plf prior to jumping a round?
You see, not everyone tells stories trying to prove themselves.

Well, yeah - it was a stupid trick but it served its purpose - I had
never jumped a round, had no idea how fast I'd be coming down, and
what the hell - I hadn't jumped off a roof since I was a kid and the
2nd floor inside is lower than the roof, why not? Label it as shit
all you want, it still will not change the reality - videogeek with a
talent for tearing down your pitiful excuses for arguments and a
doggedness to not go away jumped about 10'-15'(?) to practice a plf
prior to jumping a round. Here's the best part - while this annoying
fly in your ointment was descending towards the packing area, like
you, he was without any ability to steer, slow, or control his descent
(once he had leapt off) but, unlike you - after he he landed, instead
of being carted off to a hospital in an ambulance to begin a stay of
several days, he went back outside and practiced capewell and belly
reserve emergency procedures for a while. This shit get better every
day.

Thats a personal search for glory...at the rate yawl drop teams to better your

or fun jumping...kinda like party jumpers
calling theirselves fun jumpers...afraid my

threw away 10 years of skydiving and has the Texas Terror on his young ass now,

I don't know how one demensional any of them are, I think it varies
from person to person but they haven't fallen by the wayside and what
happened to your earlier description of the old dz bums who also used
to jump with the novices (until they were run off by uspa and the dz)?

>and didn't leave the fuk your buddie habits at home..People like Lodi Mike and
>Mike Smith ain't dz bums..their still teaching and are storehouses of USPA
>knowedge.

So, since you're now assigning the politically incorrect angle to the
whole idea of the old dz bum (and dropping the used to jump with
novices until they got run off by uspa and the dz's part of the
description), why were you bitching earlier about uspa and the dz's
running them run off?

>You only have one skill-----video

No, there's the crew and the rw and the vrw (not really skilled in vrw
but I can do it) - and the host of shit outside of skydiving - like
easily splashing your ass with reality whenever you're taking a dump -
heh, but unlike you, I don't assign self worth to demonstration of
some skill in a recreational past-time

>and ya ain't even smart enuff to know when to
>dub

Whoopty shit - I practiced a plf - I suppose you got video of yourself
jumping off of folding chairs?

>Yeah I see you as a dz bum kid

Wait, the approved kind that jumped with novices until uspa and dz's
ran them off or the other kind that merely falls under that label by
the nature of the fact that they call you on your bullshit?

No, it's sport jumping with friends and the joy of teamwork and

Hmmm...been on the same team for longer than a season - never left a
team for another, teamwork was always evident, and the jumps were
always fun.

Call it what it is - you're just anal.

Right, and you weren't ever a true sportsman outside of your own
defenition which shifts, changes, and contradicts itself, depending on
the nature of the argument.

>explain that to
>skydiverprick on the licence issue...he eithe applied in 81 or didn't...

But he still made the jumps. No application made or not changes that
fact.

>WOW he
>threw away 10 years of skydiving

Threw away perhaps in the sense of them being recognized in some way
by some entity (which is what you're all about - paperwork is an
acceptable substitute for reality) but that still does not change the
fact that they were made nor does it change the experience which was
gained. You're just chapped that here's a guy with way the fuck more
experience than you ever had, who started way the fuck long before you
ever started, calling you on your crap and delivering unto you the due
ration of shit you have coming to you.

>and has the Texas Terror on his young ass now,

You're not from Texas and you're more like a pimple on the ass of an
elephant when it comes to you somehow concluding a personal ability
and experience greater and more relevant than his. Not that it's
relevant but he is sadly lacking in his tarmac munching experience -
you applied to uspa for that cudo yet?

>shudda turned in the paper work!

Well, yeah - if the goal was having some sort of document with which
to wave about and thus hopefully prove some sort of relevancy but you
see, that's not necesarry when you've already proved it in the air.

>At least you know how to dummy up your
>skydiving awards web....

Ah, that old fallback angle and so again it goes - no awards were ever
misrepresented on the team's webpage - specifically before I was a
member of that team which you suggest that web page was representing
at the time and certainy not after I came on board, either. Neither
was I ever the webmaster but that's neither here nor there - call it
what it is - a bullshit attempt to convey some sort of targeted
failing to prove a bullshit argument which never carried water in the
first place. But then if you got video to prove it...snark.

>Can you git into USPA' hard drive and fix Pricks D
>number problems?

Don't know of any problems. He got the D long before you did - oh,
that's the problem.

>While yer at it change the coaching rule...

Why do that? It ain't broke so no fix is necesarry. But feel free to
run the argument off on that tangent if that suits ya - I've pasted
you all across the floor before on this subject too and sure as shit,
I'm ready and capable of doing it again. Go for it!

>Skydive U needs a break,

No probs with SkyU, either, as near as I can tell. I work with a
couple who does it every now and then and the SkyU students all seem
to think it's worthwhile and the postive results of the program are
clearly discernable.

>you soory young m'fers need to learn to stick together
>and git ywe story straight

Discussing stratagy with your personalities is hardly a subsitute for
an argument. Might I suggest you mention to them to come together,
get out to a dropzone, and get a clue? Until then one is just going
to keep contradicting the other - often in the same sentence. Two
steps forwards, three steps back.

Yeah, right - like video of a practice plf negates any purpose of
practicing a plf. Oh, I see - you place all importance in being able
to show off you did something as opposed to just doing something and
gaining the experience sought in doing it. Not bad - you have not
contradicted yourself (yet). You are remaining constant in your
suggestion that documents and paraphenalia have more importance and
more relevancy than real experience. For you it's all about being
able to *tell* someone rather than being able to really *show*
someone.

>Always git a copy of stupid tricks kid.

No, if I had busted my ass it would have been stupid but as it was, I
just fell and plf'd and it prepared me for what to reasonably expect
when I came down under the round and hour or so later. Not a stupid
trick. Just an exercise.

Ah, well - by that stupid argument those students practicing their
plf's aren't coming down under combat loads either and depending on
loading, moisture, and temperature, why - there's no reason to
practice since they won't be coming down very hard either.

>If your weight is anywhere near your IQ I'd say way less than 18fps What a puss

How it was loaded is beside the point to the current argument - it was
a parachute system I had never jumped before so it was wiser to
practice a plf than to expect not having to. Hell, you expected you
wouldn't have any problem unstowing and steering (nevermind plf'ng)
the last canopy you jumped. Surprise! Too bad you didn't practice.
What an idiot.

If your story about being D quallified in 81 but not gitting it is true you

There you have it folks - Chuck is in possession of dingleberry's war
record but because releasing it without dingleberry's permission is
illegal (and morally wrong) it will never see the light of anyone's
day except Chuck's. Why would we care? What could this dossier tell
us that hasn't already been talked up and down ad nauseum for a good
long time now? We'll never know (Chuck does but cannot say - so don't
waste your time trying to get him to tell ya) because dingleberry is,
how should I put this?...somewhat hesitant to let his military record
potentially be compared with his personal version of it here.

Without proof either way, and knowing what I know about how ignorant
he actually is on actual skydiving matters - I'm pretty convinced he
spent his enire military career scraping paint and barnacles by day
while assuming the role of the finest drag queen in the fleet by
night.

Probably chortling more likely - his D number is still lower than
yours and he still has more jumps under rounds than you ever made,
period.

Of course, some people would consider such habits as anal.

With more jumps, experience, and a decided lack of knowledge as to the
thrills of wearing pink tights, backwards underwear, and the acrid

It woulda - you mean you didn't get video of that one time you stood
up a landing. Well, fuck - it never happened and BTW - Good o'l Bob
Bucquor was mounting equipment of helmets back in the 60's - long
before you were sport jumping.

Actually, a military variant of the DC-4, or C-54 "SkyMaster".

Walther responds...

The official designation for the Douglas "Skymaster" was R5D-3; R5D-4 and it
was the Navy version of the C-54. They were also used for LORAN testing as
EC-54U's and for photographic mapping as RC-54V's.

I was under the impression that the last Navy Skymaster (R5D-3, designated
as C-54Q) was retired in 1974. I am not 100% certain about this, though.

Regards

Walther

No, there's still people at dropzones who cut grass, fueled planes,
checked student packing, did odd jobs and did not "fall by the wayside
when things went mainstream and suberban twits moved in," loosly
translated: when I crashed my stupid butt out of the sport and
couldn;t skydive anymore.

They? A whole herd of them, eh?

And they got "run off." Told to never come back. Kicked out on the
street. Court ordered to never again come near.

What, less jumps equates to knowing more? Well, I mean, they might
know more about dirt-diving, by your little description - I can see
that.

Oh yeah - and like there aren't any lifeguards now - they just up and
split (ran off) by water heaters, TP on a roll, and climate control.
Bullshit - people you describe are still around, people do look after
each other but what's obvious is, people could hardly give a rats ass
about wondering what type of toilet paper might be on the roll and hot
showers? Cold showers may have been your Saturday night habit but
I've never heard of anyone blowing off a dz because one's shower was
any more or less dynamic than another. A.C? Skydiviers got the bst
AC in the world - straight up two miles or so. All this dropzone
froo-froo doesn't mean shit to skydivers (though it pleases you to
imagine it so - thus further buttressing your sandcastle of Paradise
Lost so that Paradise will be less missed. Sour grapes.

Sure, I pass it on - what the fuck do you know? You're not at dz's.
What, is the level of credibility now measured at giving tips on the
usenet (which I've done, btw) as opposed to communicating with people
where it counts - at dropzones? People ask me a question and if I got
the answer, I'll share it but more importantly, if I don't know the
answer I'll try to guide them to someone who does instead of, like
you, making shit up and pretending I know the answer while suggesting
the person with the question is an idiot. You see - you would pretend
to pass stuff on so you could say you pass stuff on so others might
think you're cool, while real people with their heads on straight pass
on what they pass on because it's the right thing to do - they do it
for others - not for themselves. You just have personal affirmation
issues which you try real hard to hide by telling everyone just how
*fill in the blank* you are on this or that.

Oh, I take it seriously. I mean, it's fun of course, I wouldn't be
doing it otherwise but there comes a time before, during, and after
every jump where certain things need to happen and if they don't
happen then certain other things need to happen. There's a time and
place for everything. I don't think the fact that I skydive makes me
any more special than anyone else just as the fact that you once
skydived (or anything else you imagine you've done) makes you any more
or less special than anyone else. Assigning self worth because of
such activity is a clear indicator of a personal belief in a lack of
self worth. It's regularly and successfully arguing your brand of
rhetorical bullshit into the ground on an electronic newsgroup which I
don't take seriously.
