Do be there, guys. My Dad's coming to town, and he enjoys a day
at the DZ, and I don't intend to let him down. Most likely Saturday,
weather permitting. I want to get in on that horny gorilla, Lucky!!!

not sure. We got us a new trailer and it needs a road trip. However, Chris
at Tullahma is offering a free beer, and going away party for his Twin Bo. We
might want t support the local 40 miles down the road drp zone. We are in beer
rule negotiations currently with him now. It will depend how negotiations go.

I don't know about proud, but honest? Yep.
Over the weekend, I drove to Skydive Greene County, just outside Xenia, OH,
for my ground training and first jump on a Bird Man suit. I'm hooked, and
bought the suit.
I then drove to Skydive Chicago and bought a new Hawkeye TM camera helmet,
as I don't think my previous camera helmet was safe enough. I can make this
one much more snag free.
The kicker, I guess, is I also bought a new Neptune altimeter, Alti-2's
version of the Protrack. Yep, a skydiving computer.
~sigh~ I must admit, I guess it is kinda fancy when you look at it all
together, even if the helmet and altimer are basic black and the suit is
white and blue.

Many condemn what they do not fully understand. BirdMan got a bad name from
a few people that either pushed too damn hard, were not properly prepared,
or were just plain idiots. You telling me that, Peanut, is the same as a
whuffo telling you you are an idiot for jumping.
I, right up until last wekeend, was ready to downsize. I had a new rig lined
up, as well as a smaller (1.75 to 1 wingload), fully eliptical airlocked
canopy. Do I think I'm ready for it? Hell yea! Am I going to buy it, now
that I have the suit? Hell no! Wingsuits, if not flown perfectly, are
subject to extreme spinners on opening. For that reason, I'm staying big
(reletively speaking, 1.4 to 1) and square (original Sabre), as I don't
enjoy the thought of spinning on my back in a suit that doesn't
automatically allow access to my risers.
Say what you want Peanut, I'm not putting away the suit. In fact, right now
it's the only discipline I'm jumping.

Well, I guess, its all about learning, and as i have said many times
in thirty years of coaching wrestling. The teacher always learns more
than the student. Even though the students are always younger,
faster, stronger. I can not stop the effects of the adranaline drug.
In some ways, i've been the pusher, so who the LLL am i to judge the
student.? I worry about you kid.
I have learned to respect my sign-off.--- and will use it more
sparingly in the future. I must use good judgement in the future, and
you must be careful.

I respect you Peanut, but you seem to forget one small thing. The "A" card
you signed off was over 2 years ago. I've grown since then, a fact you would
have seen had you accepted my invites to both the WFFC this year, and
Skydive Greene County this last weekend. You have not seen what I am doing
now. In fact, you had no clue. I have since been signed off for my "B" and
"C", and actually filed my "C". Those were signed off by two people other
than you, dad. Two people, I might add, that know what I can do, for they
have seen my jumping recently. I also have met all the qualifications for
the "D", except for the sheer number of jumps. In all actuallity, I feel the
"D" is not necessary for me at this time, and thus am in no hurry to get it.
We never stop learning, Peanut. I'm just learning something now that scares
the daylights out of you. I understand that. Fear can be a good thing. I
helps keep people from making stupid decisions. For example, Peanut is
afraid of a wingsuit. That is good, for it keeps him away. I am afraid,
right now, of picking the wrong canopy for my discipline of choice. I almost
did, by the way. If this wingsuit does nothing else, it keeps me under a
nice, stable square canopy for the forseeable future.
Everyone gets a shot of adrenaline just from the exit, Peanut. The
difference with a wingsuit is that's about where it ends, for me. The actual
flight is calming. 70 mph winds in your face vs. 120+ is a big difference.
When was the last time you were able to talk loudly in freefall (not yell,
just talk with a loud voice) and have those around you hear every word, and
reply? I can answer that for you bud, never.
I agree, wingsuits are a whole new world, and not for everyone. They are for
me though, and that is not changing anytime soon.

I've calmed way down since those old book days. I'm happy under a square,
and equally happy learning what to me is a totally new frontier.
I was simply telling Peanut how I feel. I was hoping to keep ego out of it
this time, without hurting his.
I feel comfortable, relaxed even in freefall now. I'm no longer tense, I
smile all the time, and I really, really enjoy what I'm doing.

So you've less than 200 jumps, in over two years, and you're
ready for a wingsuit?
It scares Peanut and others for some very good reasons.
Unfortunately, it doesn't scare you for the same very good reasons.
If memory serves, that's always been your attitude...

i have SINNNEDDDD-
i WONT offer up any excuses. That for which i did to you was wrong, I admit

I agree,, you have grown, and i agree, that i do not know your skill level
currently,,,,,and my argument is you are growing to "quickly", -->because of a
skydive bum, who was interested in selling you a suit, that fit you like a
glove. In the words of Jack Guthrie, Utah, (parachutist a couple months back
we need to make those skydive bums responsible who sell gear to people who do
not have the experiece to jump it.

YESSS---I agree,, and honestly rev,, Think about this --i have a base of 800
skydives. A 'rookie' by many IN this sport. And you know, I just did my furst
crew canopy skydive a week or so ago, with a world champion. (Thanks chris) I
figure, i'l l start learning to fly on my head and butt with all that freaky
shit, when i Hit 1,000. From 1000 to 2000 I'll get good with the freaking
chit.

I have not argument to keeping you under a safe canopy. As its been said a
million times here. NOBODY should ever die from a fully functioning
parachute. Only STUPID people die that way. I have watched two die.,, and
both those two, had accompanying people who went on vacation for a long time.
I am glad you have made a smart decision on canopy size.

Smile,,, yes,,, i was wondering what i was going to learn between 2,000 and
3,000 skydives. You've sold me.. Sign me up Rev, to find me a bargain suit,
from a skydive bum, that i can buy cheap, and put in the closet for a couple of
years.

The D can mean many things (nevermind we were talking about D number
equating to relative legitimacy) but included in those many things,
and less common than it used to be, is the blowhard idiot who because
he now has a D, like so many of his betters, somehow assumes himself
the be all and know all about all - which, of course, is hardly
accurate.
>it wuz a bitch for big ole clumsy Static Liners to git,
It's not easy for anyone but that said, not impossible nor is it any,
in of itself, badge of complete mastery, legitmacy, or even knowledge.
>that made it
>worth while plus ya cud move freely and git into
>any boogie...
It's worthwhile to get just like any other hard fought goal, as well
as usefull in gaining entrance into competition - still, possession
does not ever equate to some retarded, caste conscious supposition
that because one has while another does not automatically equates to
one being better or worse, legitmate or less legitimate than any
other. Skill and experience.
>nobody gave ya much shit back then,
Which contradicts earlier statement you've often made about the
"old-timers" constantly giving the newer jumpers a lot of shit. Geez
- you should read your own press releases before you start your
blathering in one direction or another.
>they were just glad to have
>another fun jumper around...D or not,
Yeah, and in your world you imagine boogies, dz's, where and whenever
skydiving is going on now, comes the D license possession question
when it is still very true - it's good to have another fun jumper
around.
>we were more of a family than yawl are,
>yawl
So you say, but you base this contention on being years out of the
sport so you really have no idea whatsoever about what really is going
on a dropzones and how much of a "family," one way or the other,
places might be and skydivers are.
>seem to be a buncha AFF fuk yer buddys

you don't have the ability to read between the lines I see...no matter its
always been a rather dysfunctional family at best...we were just fewer and
considered fringe element thereby forced to stick together
Just like family gatherings at Thanksgiving
theres always some kind of power struggle going on...Even old Bob Sinclare
liked to sign with a number other than his D which was pretty damn low. I asked
him why once out at Waller. "Ah they fucked me on my D number!" ;->

Party jumpers? nope I wuzzn't part of that family, they delayed first loads and
skipped last loads to hog the best beer, not serious fun jumpers imho and by
the way their were quite a few tree packers...
I wuzzn't alone out there...the pots and pans were a git even tactic plus I
just flat like to fuk with youngsters...I'd drink a couple of beers and be in
bed by 2200 and here cums the young hoot owls rolling in from the Hill at 3 in

Stop saying we, you weren't there. When Jimbo said
"he didn't party with the folks on the dz.....hung by
hisself out under the big ole tree......banged pots and pans to wake up the
drunk "family"".
You weren't there in the "old days" and when you did come along, you
separated yourself from the family.

Ignoring the current discussion for a moment, does anybody here have data to
accurately compare the difference in risk from a camera jump and a board or
wing suit jump? If so, please post it.

Yeah, like I been saying - you got yourself a D and in your head you
somehow magically remained a less than master skydiver, despite what
it said on the card.

Yeah, like taking half those jumps just learning how to stand up a
landing. <snerk>

So, this "rite of passage" by your very words didn't happen much back
then.

So, they either gave shit or they didn't - you've suggested both. I
was there in the "outlaw" 90's (which it wasn't - the one's I know
from before attest to that) and shit was handed out - just as it is
now. That hasn't changed - human nature - but that part of skydiving
also pleases you to imagine as being gone when of course, it's still
there.

Sure you can - it's part of the learning process - you just can't have

Heh - and I suppose people giving others shit back then because they
flew less than their capability wasn't some sort of head game back
then - especially when it came to the blocks which you just suggested
were mental anyway.

Serious fun jumpers. Stay serious! This is fun! Pay no attention to

But I think you were probably the only one packing outside for purely

Do you imagine that maybe those jumpers were drinking up the beer and
delaying the loads as some sort of get even tactic of their own?
Hmmm...

Turn it up! I wanna hear the impact! There-twice. That ain't no

You want quiet - sleep in a Holiday Inn or wear earplugs. You sleep

Yes, the fall rate is substantially slower in a wingsuit, so one is more
likely to remain intact after impact.
(Yes, I'm a poet, and I know it, right down to my feet ... they're long
fellows.)

Thanks, I will try to keep that in mind.... :)
Actually I was looking for some numbers to show some 50 jump wonders that a
camera is not such a good idea for them yet.

What this part of Texas? I mean, Texas is a pretty large state, you
know.
But what happened to the whole concept that people were just happy
that there were people there to jump - license notwithstanding and,
for that matter, what happened to a jump is a jump, no matter the
jump, and what's this anal attitude "best jump" line - especially when
you promised more than you could deliver?
Is it possible that you angled for the D in the (misguided) hope that
people would give you any less shit than you already had coming?
Oh, wait - the revered "rite of passage" of giving people shit didn't
happen much back in the "outlaw" 90's, eh?

The 90's were only less than four years ago. Sure, there are people
who've been jumping less than that time but I would say that there's a
good amount who have been jumping longer.

And what were you with your uspa membership, your pursuit of cult
status, and your participation in the cult's activities? A leader?
Hell, you didn't even have a rating. What were you, a dzo? A
director? Or were you just someone who didn't have what it took to
remain in the cult?

Okay - I'll add the addendum: you sleep in a parking lot on a
dropzone (or anywhere on a dropzone), you get what you get. Don't be
a victim.

Thanks, AND can you throw in some stuff about a 150 jump wonders switching over
