Joea 0 #1 January 4, 2008 Hi all! New here and new to the sport. I just thought I'd start a thread where everyone can post one of those clever quotes that they've learned over the years. Sometimes those simple one line rhymes and whatnot can save a life or at the very least, make jumps more enjoyable! Me being a newb... I'll start with the one everyone learns first. "Is it there?... is it square?" and this one I learned just today... "Having a blast on every jump is more important than achieving a task in every jump" They don't have to rhyme. Maybe this has been done.. but I'm new.. appease me.It's better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. - Clarence Worley from "True Romance" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 34 #6 January 4, 2008 Quote "you stupid idiot - don't do that again" Sounds like something Popsjumper would say! Beezyshaw was the same way, though he would be a little more diplomatic.
