The POPs jumps I guess didn't go so well. I think they tried 3 or 4 times and their first attempt was the closest. all other times someone completely took out the formation. Slip Stream Air Sports Do not go softly, do not go quietly, never back down

Eric, that 20 way was the shit. definitaly come back and do it again. i want to see if whitney got any pics of it or not. oh yea, another way to tell that you've just had a boogie weekend is too wake up on a couch in front of another DZ's hanger because you passed out and because you were left outside you were awaken by some stupid ass student pilot who was doing touch and goes at way to fucking early in the morning, and then proceed to harf 4 times that morning , but still be able to make 3 jumps.

my 200th was this weekend and it was killer. I got to dive out last on a 20 way from the tail plane at sunset. We went to 12k and it was completed by 6.2 (what my alti said) held it till 4.5 and broke off. That's the largest formation over creswell i was told. it was badass.

What did you learn this weekend?
superstu replied to superstu's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I had a very educational weekend in all aspects of jumping this weekend at it was great. But one of the biggest things I learned was on the last jump yesterday. This was jump number 9 of the day, which is the most i've done in a day so i was tired, anyway, coming into land and i start my 90 degree hook and decide to hold it a little longer so it was over 90 degrees probibly 115 degrees. well i was lucky to pull that one out of my ass and stand it up. moral of the story: when you're tired don't jump and be stupid, now i know. luckily i didn't have to pay for that piece of advice.

"Quick question: Have you ever seen someone really pound in from either a miscalculated swoop or a panic turn for no reason??? " i've seen panic turns but i have yet to see somebody pound in on a swoop. and yes it scares the hell out of me when i see some one pull something out of their ass to just stay alive. but every time i see that i'm asking questions and make a note to my self of what they did or did not do.

I'm 160, so 180-185 out the door, wingloading the 135 at 1.33-1.37 Slip Stream Air Sports Do not go softly, do not go quietly, never back down

"but don't really listen to me. Better listen to those who saw you land and fly a canopy. and know you and how you handle in stress situations... " Actually a couple of experienced people who have seen me land say that i'd be fine on a stiletto 120. That's kind of why i'm asking this learning curve question, because i want to learn as much as possible and personally i don't know if i'd learn better or worse on a 120 or 135. i'm thinking a 135.

Just wanted to get your opinions on a question i have. Do you think one would learn more about their canopy skills at a quicker pace on a smaller or larger canopy? Slip Stream Air Sports Do not go softly, do not go quietly, never back down

i'm looking for a different canopy and was wondering the price range one could expect on an alpha having between 100 and 800 jumps. being a college student i need to budget like a mofo all the damn time. Thanks Slip Stream Air Sports Do not go softly, do not go quietly, never back down
