I am not in the same class as some of you guys (I'm not as experienced and I'm not flying a cross-braced canopy). But I have started doing 270s and I love them. On my Crossfire2 I'll initiate my turn at about 350-400 feet AGL. 350 feet seems more dialed in, but I have found myself digging it out a little on occasion at that altitude and lately have been trying to start at about 400 feet and have the canopy dive longer (and I like the idea of starting out on double fronts before transitioning to a left or a right front riser carve). Also, I like the slightly more abrupt front riser turn as opposed to the subtle carve, but my horizontal and vertical accuracy isn't as good on the abrupt turns. So I have some work cut out ahead of me to get better and to get to know my canopy better before I ever think of replacing it (I've only got about 85 jumps on my Crossfire2). Oh I will have to modify my starting altitudes higher next summer when the density altitude kicks in here in CO. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

Do these count as wintery pics? I used to get into winter mountaineering, but that was before I started enjoyed throwing myself out of airplanes. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

Happy birthday eeneR. Hmmm 30 years young huh? Cool. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

Does this mean you will be sharing more hottie pics with us? See you in a few weeks. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

Enjoy the flic dude. I saw it last summer in Kansas City on my way to Rantoul and it was worth the detour. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

It's a no-brainer again (at least from my perspective). I'd have sex with virtually any decent woman instead of meeting GWB. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

Come to CO Andi, and you won't be too far away from NM if you still want to visit your friends there. Colorado Spring is a very pretty town (I lived there for two years back in the late 90s) and we do skydive all 12 months of the year (though maybe not all 52 weekends). You can jump down in Canon City with their Caravan or you could visit Mile-Hi (King Air now with an Otter coming in the Spring?) or Brush (with their King Air).

Don't be scared. It's not like you'll be jumping in Calhan in 100 degree weather with a field elevation of 6500 feet MSL. Your Eloy landings will be a little faster, but not too bad. Don't worry about it and you should be fine. But if people do want to land in the main landing area, they need to make sure that they are comfortable with cross-wind landings as the landings are done in Eloy (in the main landing area) only to the east or to the west. If people don't like cross-wind landings, they can always go to the alternate landing area, or there are plenty of places to land off in the dessert adjacent to the DZ.

This is a no-brainer. Go to the boogie. Who cares about GWB!!! Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

0:2:0 A quiet weekend for this camper. On Saturday all I could muster up was a hop n' pop out of a Cessna thanks to a flat tire on our main bird. And then only one (a fun five-way freefly) jump on Sunday before the winds picked up. That's okay though, because I have a better chance of doing my 500th on one of my early Eloy days if I'm not pounding out the jumps now. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

There will be different people coming and going from the DZ.COM tent all day long every day. So if you come out to visit, you'll meet a bunch of people. Plus there's pretty much someone landing all the time (some of them are good swoopers) and it makes for a good show for the whuffos. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

I did 330 and yes I know Sunnydee123 is poised to smash my accomplishment. But I showed up at Eloy last Christmas with 92 jumps and currently stand at 485. So I am ever so close to doing 400 jumps in that 12 month time frame. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

I think Peter's just jealous that I didn't start a thread about him. You jumping this weekend? Did you get a main for your new container yet? Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

This was not the first time I had the pleasure of spending time with RkyMtnHigh, but I just came back from lunch with Kalyne and I want all of your DZ.COMers to know that she is an awesome person. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

And don't forget that we don't use oxygen on the way up to altitude. But that just makes our jumps more euphoric. I did a high alt. jump at last year's x-mas boogie and it was a blast. So if any of you out there are looking to a do cool high alt freefly with this camper while in Eloy, I'm game. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

We wouldn't be where we are without women. Now how's that for sucking up? Actually I truly do believe that we as a society would be better off if we listened a gave women more credit than what we men have given women over time in our history.

I still haven't negotiated with the whuffo boss my exact holiday dates yet, but I was thinking that if I get the first 1/2 week off before christmas day, that I was going to travel from Colorado through Utah (check out Clint's new DZ in Moab) and then proceed towards Vegas and the Grand Canyon before venturing south towards Eloy. But once I'm in Eloy, I'm there to jump (and party) and maybe spend one day rock climbing. But not travel numerous hours up to the canyon. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
