Brian425 0 #1 November 5, 2004 I don't know why. Maybe it's my urge to buy beer. I also want to jump a round. I can only think of 2 people I want to spot that jump though. So where can I do S/L near NYC? The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #2 November 5, 2004 Gee I could spot that load.. I jumped a T-10 last year and landed it 25 ft from a dead center....Then again I grew up jumping rounds .. and have a few hundred and a WHOLE bunch of Static line jumps.. NOW.. if you REALLLY want to do it.. come on out here. We can set you right up at Kapowsin.. nice big grassy field to land in....great view of Mt Rainier.. and I have a FEW rounds...a ParaCommander MarkII, a Pappillion.. well you get the idea Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian425 0 #3 November 5, 2004 25 feet from the peas, not too shabby. I am only about that good with my safire with a nice set up. It might have to wait until spring. Isn't it COLD up there. I'll still buy beer if I meet ya! The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vallerina 2 #4 November 5, 2004 One of my favorite non-jumps was putting my friend Ryan back out on static line when I was going for my jumpmaster rating! He had about 100 jumps and was jumping a Something 170, so I loved putting his tiny bum out on the Manta! Hehehehe!There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wingnut 0 #10 November 5, 2004 dude, a staticline jump isn't all that.....ya fall for about 12 feetand then your chute is opening.... only diffrence is you initiate thedeployment by letting go of the plane instead of pulling a ripcord or throwing a pilot chute.... i learned on staticline and i've never said to myefl...."self, i really wna do a aff jump"....... hecki've never even donea tandem.....lol.... but if you are in utah before june or ohio after that look me up i'll hook ya up with my paracomander......... and spotting.. no problem... i've only landed out off the dz once.... and theni got it right were iwnted to in a cul-de-sac... ______________________________________ "i have no reader's digest version" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slug 1 #11 November 5, 2004 QuoteYou just want me to buy double beer. First reserve ride and first S/L. But I would like to come play with you guys. Beware grasshoper: If your going to do "it" pick a good day, some good terrian, and don't get on the first load. Kansas no problem, land close to a road, just watch out for power lines, barb wire etc. Kapow you can end up in a tree 200' off the ground. Within sight of the peas. Your rush from a static line may be minimal with the number of jumps you got. BTW How much you weigh?Don't worry be happyR.I.P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian425 0 #12 November 5, 2004 Really just curious about both. I figure by spring, I might be able to hook up with a S/L instructor in training. We both win and both get to buy beer. I saw Mike jump a round at the Ranch and it seemed so cool. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.

gordy 0 #14 November 5, 2004 Cool idea....I did a static line when I had about 150 jumps and it was a great laugh....fly over to St Andrews in Scotland and we will sort it for you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peacefuljeffrey 0 #15 November 5, 2004 QuoteI want to try a static line jump. NO ya don't! Seriously, my first two jumps were static line, #3 was AFF-1, and #4 and #5 were static line too. I'd rather not repeat that. They were done from only 3000 AGL! -Jeffrey-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Speaking of "shiiiiiit!" Back in '96, I was out at Skydive Long Island to do my #4 skydive (a static line from 3,000) along with a friend of mine doing his first jump. We all were suited up and sitting under an awning, our one-way radios turned on, waiting for our load... Suddenly, over our radios, which were on the same channel as the guy who'd just jumped, we heard, "Pull your red handle... Pull your red handle!... Pull your red handle!... Pull your red handle!!..." This went on for a bit, scaring the shit out of us. I knew it meant the poor guy had a malfunction (from under 3,000 feet, remember!) I remember thinking, "Shit, I'm gonna be here while some guy dies..." It didn't feel good, let me tell you. A few seconds later we heard a CHEER!! from the staff, as the guy had apparently deployed his (round) reserve. He came down in a small space between the woods and some planes that were tied down on the edge of the field beside the runway at Spadaro Airport. (Skydive Long Island has since relocated to more serious digs.) He was very very close to putting that thing down among a lot of nasty pine trees about fifty feet tall or more. Scare the bejeezus out of a lot of people, including us tourists! -Jeffrey-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Brian425 0 #20 November 5, 2004 Under 5k??? Hell, I still pull at 3.5k to 4k. Of course I am an Otter baby. 13k to 14k everyday. I still get a little nervous getting out under 5k. Everything looks SOOOO BIG!! So who is going to training for S/L I? Need a "Student"? B The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.
