mircan 0 #128 January 23, 2009 Jumping big-ass canopies like accuracy is totally different story than flying other sport canopies. But once you`ve nailed it, you don`t ask if you can land it within 6ft, more 6 inches. dudeist skydiver #42 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

markovwgti 0 #139 January 24, 2009 Jerry thanks for bringing that one back up..... http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=guestpass&id=7vj50 If you watch this video....ozzy13 is eating shit in the last clip....800 jumps and he couldn't land a 170 off the drop zone....lucky you didn't break a lot of bones brother!!! Im just trying to help the kid out so he doesnt make the same mistake i made!! Thats the right thing to do right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
980 0 #140 January 24, 2009 Why are you not standing up your landings? Until you are standing up 99% + of your landings, you would just be wasting time and money downsizing or getting a higher performance canopy of the same size. Spend your time and money learning to stand up every landing. When you have achieved that look at downsizing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marko tell the facts Dont lie to make yourself look better I had 300 jumps and it was a 149 safire. First off DZ landing. Had a brain fart It looked a lot worse then it really was. Dont deflect the fact that you were in this kids shoes and did the same thing he is doing... Not listening. That why I find it funny that you are giving him AdviceNever give the gates up and always trust your rears! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy_Copland 0 #142 January 24, 2009 You had 2 ways to look at Mark giving advice. You could have said: "Good job telling him not to downsize, its obvious you have learned something" or "Thats rich coming from you, heres you almost dying" Which one is the douch bag reply?1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit.

markovwgti 0 #144 January 24, 2009 Quote I didnt say that he shouldn't say anything I said I found it funny Jerry stop bullshitting everyone...wtf is a brain fart...i looked it up Brain Fart - When someone sits on your ear while you are sleeping and farts. Usually done as sick pranks at late night parties. So someone sat on you ear while you were sleeping under canopy and farted....i dont see how this has anything to do with you eating shit on your 170 on your first off Dropzone landing....with 800 jumps...
