Mostly_Harmless 0 #28 July 30, 2005 Alright I made the jump and it was awesome! It was my first jump with my own gear and my spectre (although fast on landing) was awesome. Flying in normal clothes was no big deal. I had a somewhat snug fit long sleeve shirt (to keep me warm) and did just fine. Thanks guys for all the suggestions. # jumps tonight and still have the rest of the weekend, life is good._________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jumpsuits can make a noticeable difference. Especially when jumping with other people.

Mostly_Harmless 0 #30 July 30, 2005 Honestly I haven't decided yet. Yesterday was also the 1st time I jumped out with someone for fun (excluding the coach jumps) and basically we just had fun trying to dock up and spinning around. I thought skydiving was fun when I was doing solo's, now I think skydiving is the best when going out with people._________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reginald 0 #37 August 1, 2005 QuoteJumping without a jumpsuit is no different than jumping with one. In the end, it all comes down to body position, not apparel. I personally believe that jumpsuits should not be worn for the sole purpose of compensating for poor freefall technique. Wow, I’m amazed to hear people actually say this stuff. Jumpsuits are there for a reason! Why do you think Airspeed wear jumpsuits with booties? Do you really think they don’t know how to fly their bodies? A jumpsuit is the most important piece of skydiving equipment you have other than the lifesaving gear. Dress for success! Oh, think you want to freefly? I guarantee you the best freeflyers wear appropriate clothing too. If you don’t notice the difference between street clothes and a properly fitted jumpsuit than you might want to ask yourself why…"We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We've finally found him. We're surrounded. That simplifies things." CP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
