  1. how do you guys keep current? i have to jump every 30days to keep current and i have a feeling that's going to be kinda hard here in oregon. or do you guys just get recurrent when the weather starts to get good again in april/may time?

  2. i've been trying for a while now to go head down. i can do a sit/stand perfect all the time now and can do cartwheels and all that, but as soon as i try head down i don't even come close. i've tried going to the pool to see how it feels but it didn't really help all that much. basically what happens is right when i go into the position i go on my back looking up side down but am not in the correct position. i think i need to relax more but i have no clue where else to start. any suggestions?

    First experience

    would a safer way to train for base jumps be doing balloon jumps? Slip Stream Air Sports Do not go softly, do not go quietly, never back down
  5. how about a place that has a tailgate plane or balloon jumps or something cool like that? where could i go for that stuff as well? thanks for all the options so far. Slip Stream Air Sports Do not go softly, do not go quietly, never back down
  6. where could i go for spring break and do some skydiving? i know it's a tidbit early but i am poor and need to start saving any way. i go to school in oregon and i'm gonna need some place warm and get a lot of jump time. later Slip Stream Air Sports Do not go softly, do not go quietly, never back down

  10. i think i am going to have to piece together my first rig over a period of months because of money. but my question is when piecing together your rig what should come first, container, main, reserve? or is there no difference?

    what to do?

    i don't know what to do, my mom said she would loan me some money for my first rig, now it seems no she won't which really pisses me off. so what should i do, do 1-2 jumps every two weeks and save money or jump a lot with gear rentals and not save money? winter is coming so i have to take that into consideration as well. this sucks, i want a rig sooo bad, i am trying to sell all the shit i don't use any more, trying everything to get money.

    Freefly suits

    for those of you who have their suits, what is the difference between the 'normal' fabric and the 'special' fabric? is there a flying difference or is it just the looks that are different? Slip Stream Air Sports Do not go softly, do not go quietly, never back down

  21. i'm looking to get my first used rig and was wondering how many jumps is too many on the container, main, and reserve? thanks Slip Stream Air Sports Do not go softly, do not go quietly, never back down
  22. i've been working on my sit/stand for the past couple of jumps and have been getting it pretty well, doing solo's and everything. thursday was my first time trying to interact with other in a freefly and i did pretty damn good. i could go forward, backward, side to side, and could increase or decrease my speed when i wanted. so i was pretty pleased about that.
