jdthomas 0 #6 January 11, 2004 I live in Kansas and it is to cold. Or maybe it's the fact that I have a few jumps under my belt in the 10+ years of jumping.. But I think the most of it is that I am thin and never feel warm enough anyway.www.greenboxphotography.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Push 0 #8 January 11, 2004 I exited an airplane at 3,500 feet this Saturday. It was -17 on the ground -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy. All you have to do is relax while plummetting at 120 mph from 10,000' with nothing but some nylon and webbing to save you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 0 #9 January 11, 2004 Just because the plane ices up doesn't mean I don't or won't wanna still jump. Its never too cold, its a matter of mind over matter. ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #10 January 12, 2004 I'm not really sure if that qualifies as an Ad Lib in the classic sense. Anyway, if it's the middle of January and it's 80 degrees out, you must be at Perris!quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vertifly 0 #12 January 12, 2004 Oh please enlighten us, Quade. I don't remember saying it was 80 out. ??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #13 January 12, 2004 I said 40 even though I've jumped in less than that. 30s on the ground is just uncomfortable, and less than that has to just be painful. It's only my hands that bother me though. If I could find decent gloves I dont think temperature would stop be till it got real cold. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thelem 0 #14 January 12, 2004 Those are all a bit high aren't they? 10 deg is comfortable, but much below that and I don't have much feeling in my hands by the time I land. I'd probably say 0 was my limit, but that isn't an option! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyangel2 2 #18 January 12, 2004 I voted 40 and so far it's winning. I'm a big baby when it comes to cold.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

champu 1 #19 January 12, 2004 Quote"AIN'T NEVER" = double-negative = IS ALWAYS BZZZZZZZ wrong. "ain't never too cold." would just mean "there is a time when it's too cold." not "it's always too cold." anyway If the plane can't fly... we still don't know if it's too cold to jump, because there's no way to try it. Quote-273 C right... when our molecules stop, we probably won't be up for skydiving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fudd 0 #20 January 12, 2004 I like the ground temperature to be above 0 C (32 F) Never cared to much about what it is at altitude. Would probably jump down to -10 C (14 F) if I really wanted to jump. Anything below -20 (-4 F) is not jumpable in my book, although some people will jump then to if they can get the plane in the air. There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cruzit 0 #21 January 12, 2004 I once jumped on New Year's Day when the ambient temp was 20 degrees. I don't know which was worse...the ride up in a C-182 or the canopy ride down. That was a long time ago. IMO anything below 40 degrees is too cold. Guess I'm not as young as I once was. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybo 0 #22 January 12, 2004 Great thing about living in south Florida...if its too cold this weekend (less than 65), next weekend will probably be great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vertifly 0 #23 January 12, 2004 Yeah, so far the 40's have it. It seems like most of the people under 20-degrees just say, "screw it" and jump in any temperature. Too bad there isn't a way to do a poll on just the people responding to this thread; then we could also find out how many jumps everyone has. I would argue that during my first 3 or 4 years jumping I would have jumped in any temp. Now-a-days, it's 60 or above. ...consistently, at that; and I live in New Jersey. This narrows my season down to about 7 or 8 months. Keeping psychologically 'current' with many more jumps is easier to do than for those with very few. This is also a competing factor toward peoples preference. Anyone care to argue my point or elaborate???
