I guess I was just a little jealous that AggieDave get's more play than I do! "pull high! It's lower than you think..."

My grams has been pretty sick, so the fam has been rallying behind her the past couple months which has subsequently cut into my posting/jumping time... Good to know you noticed though! "pull high! It's lower than you think..."

You just want to know which sex you're flirting with! "pull high! It's lower than you think..."

Always nice to see some intelligent conversation from our friend the "yuppie sky diver"... "pull high! It's lower than you think..."

You'll definitely be ahead of the power curve in age, but by no means an old fart... Can you deal with a 19 year old corporal telling you what to do if you have to??? "pull high! It's lower than you think..."

Holy run-on sentences Batman! "pull high! It's lower than you think..."

That's weird... I had the opportunity to put about 20 jumps on one of the first in production and didn't experience any of those probs... "pull high! It's lower than you think..."

Happy B-day Big guy! I probably won't be out till Saturday, but I'll definitely come find you when I get out there... I've got a b-day jump ticket with your name written all over it! "pull high! It's lower than you think..."

2:4:0 What a great weekend! After sporting a big goose egg in the first column for so long, it was nice to fill in the hole... Pun very much intended... :) "pull high! It's lower than you think..."

A little off the subject, but in comment to the reply outlining the enhanced training which includes two tandems; I think it's a great way to go. I actually did 4 as part of my training, then it dumped me right into aff level 3. I was very freefall aware and performed well. "pull high! It's lower than you think..."

I'll try exaggerating the leg position tomorrow while I'm out... After thinking about it, I was only lifting my knee just past my waist line and not really pushing the issue so it may respond a bit more if I utilize both legs and get a good stretch... "pull high! It's lower than you think..."

While I struggle with the idea of organized religion and mass gatherings (and the like), I do celebrate the idea of a higher power much like the story you just shared. Although I will most likely never fully understand, I do believe deep down that something larger than you and I was responsible for all this... Thanks for the story... "pull high!

how long did it take you to get over sensory overload
diver123 replied to SilentJ's topic in Safety and Training
The overload and tunnelvision went away fairly quickly (around 20 or 30 jumps), but for me I had a bigger problem... I don't actually remember watching my canopy through the opening sequence until like my 50th jump! And even then it was sporatic. I had to do a solo that was completely dedicated to simply watching my opening. After that, it became habit, but think about those first 50 man... I wouldn't have known something was wrong until well after it began... "pull high! It's lower than you think..." -
I second that notion! Blue skies and safe landings... "pull high! It's lower than you think..."

Clay, Hey how sensitive is your stiletto to harness steering (or attempts anyway)? Before I bought mine I was told that it would be very much so, but I've found quite the opposite. While I am able to initiate a bit of a slow turn, it's nowhere near what I'd been told by other pilots... Is this because of the loading and wing size??? Just curious. I load mine at 1.4... Also I was warned about the short control range. However, I literally have to hold the toggles just in between chest and waist level for a good 3 solid seconds before i can stall it... "pull high!

Cool... I moved down from P-town about a year and a half ago... "pull high! It's lower than you think..."

Macaulay, You said Devil's Punchbowl... Are you from Oregon? If yes, what part? "pull high! It's lower than you think..."

I agree... It seems the neater I try to make the pack job, the more squirly the openings... But there is one certainty for the stiletto and that is: Do not roll the nose... "pull high! It's lower than you think..."

That's waaaaay scary! I hope everything heals well and the jumper doesn't have any furthered suffering. Another reminder that emergency procedures are there for a reason. You MUST have a plan for all situations and rehearse it until it's something that happens almost without thought. "pull high! It's lower than you think..."

Hey sinkster, if you do a tandem as your first jump it DOES count towards your license... I did 4 tandems and they supplemented my AFF levels 1 through 3. When I transitioned over to the actual AFF course I started at 4. "pull high! It's lower than you think..."
