Lowest D-Licence w/o Jumping Rounds
outlawphx replied to outlawphx's topic in Skydiving History & Trivia
Thanks for the info everybody! -
It's the reality of what we do. If it scares you away before you get hooked, maybe it was for the best. Personally, I read all I can about incidents. I even read all of the old threads in the incidents forums, because that information may save my life someday.

Lowest D-Licence w/o Jumping Rounds
outlawphx replied to outlawphx's topic in Skydiving History & Trivia
Just curious. Around what D-License number did jumpers start earning their D without having any round parachute jumps? -

I have to agree with that. For my first few skydives, my thought was "I better not F-Up, or I'm dead". For my first few climbs on real rock, my thought was "I better not F-Up, or I'm going to get scraped to sh*t as I swing beneath my pro". Of course, that ended up happening anyway I find that hanging onto a rock face with my forearms cramping and my legs shaking is a hell of a lot more scary

What was the delivery time on your FF2? -
2K Composites - FF2 - Who's using this helmet?
outlawphx replied to Dumpster's topic in Photography and Video
How's the FF2 fit compared to a mindwarp? (Shape-wise) My medium Mindwarp fits like a glove, but when I tried on the Optik Illusion, it was way too wide for my noggin. -
Well, you need to work on getting your dive more head down. You could also carve your dive around your student (think about water going down a toliet bowl).

OMG! That's just sick. I also have to say that camera man has to fly his a** off to get all the grips in frame.

I just read the article 5 minutes ago, and was like "I'm headed over to Dropzone.com to see if that's the same Don"...

What's going on with Skydive Las Vegas?
outlawphx replied to HeatherB's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Hey Jimbo, why don't you tell her what you really think -
$25,000+, 6 years, more time then I can count...
outlawphx replied to PhreeZone's topic in The Bonfire
Congrats! -
I had a reserve ride on a 26' LoPo myself... In 20mph winds The results were enough to convince me not to cheap out on my reserve

Possible to kick out of twists AS they're happening?
outlawphx replied to Tyrion's topic in Safety and Training
Momentum is a biatch! It doesn't hurt to start trying to kick out of them and spread your risers while they're happening. You might keep yourself from being spun up even further. -

If I'm drunk, I can sleep anywhere in any position. Otherwise: 1. On my stomach 2. Head facing left Always. Sometimes I'll spoon my wife until she falls asleep, then I can roll over and do the same

I had one in my rig for a few hundred jumps, but I'm glad I never had to see it

1st jump blown bottom skin cell
outlawphx replied to atsaubrey's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Good to hear! So the question is, are you going to try another one just like it, or get something else? -
1st jump blown bottom skin cell
outlawphx replied to atsaubrey's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
That probably wasn't a good idea with a known canopy problem. -

That sucks man! I hope the manufacturer does right by you. -
Nice! What kind of camera and camera helmet are you going to be jumping?

I used to swap back and forth between two canopies, and I just made a riser holder out of some wood and rope to keep my risers in order.
