what the fuck r u all talking about "Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone." Pablo Picasso.

$32 aus to 14 000 thats about $16 us "Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone." Pablo Picasso.

ive never had a hard opening on my sabre I pack it normaly expecpt at the end i pull the slider slightly out at the nose grab the tail and put it up to the slider then nuzzle it in. im lightly loaded on it but one of my friends jumped it she said the openning was great and she was on about a 1.2-3 wingloading "Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone." Pablo Picasso.

yer man i aggree with skreamer, that was part of my thinking when i bought my rig. hey skreamer u an addict now :) "Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone." Pablo Picasso.

i dont know the proper way but if you go to search that should work "Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone." Pablo Picasso.

at my dz tons of ppl swoop but they r all experienced and would go absolutly spacstic if they saw a low timer trying it, which is good "Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone." Pablo Picasso.

well we have a moderatly large dz for australia and we have tones of different nationalities living working at jumping here. i think its the fact that we are all "suicidle lemmings :) " nah i think its cause we r united by our true passion in life, skydiving plus skydivers generally by nature are non-jugemental acept when it comes to whuffus :-) "Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone." Pablo Picasso.

thanxs i already understood the other stuff i think "An unexpected situation may cause them to react in such a way that the canopy gets ahead of them and they wind up hurt or dead." sort of got me on your wave length i was pretty much thinking along the lines of even though its smaller the diffence will be noticible but not a huge thing just faster, more flare ect whereas you where thinking along the lines of the new jumper will not be expecting the change as even though it isnt astronomical the is a very large difference and that can cause troubles (am i right in assuming this is what u where getting at) this is why i love this fourm cause there is no nastyness other fourms would have been oh u dont agree with me u r a wanker. wherease here it turns out (i think) we where on totaly differnet wave lengths, by the way i aggree with u about it being an unexpected change "Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone." Pablo Picasso.

I also watched a freebag of mine land smack dab in the middle of a pond back in 96, some how the freebag was covered in ants! ha ha ha ha sorry but i would of loved to have seen your face ants in a pond hey mayby it was those flying ants :-) "Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone." Pablo Picasso.

yer froggie who cares if u "screwed up" did u have fun ? if so then it wasnt a wasted jump or nothen most ppl repeat and you will get, i had to repeat a level a couple of times cause i kept on turning everyone told me you will get it soon and im like sure now its just natural. i aggree with all suggestions. your a manifest chick so do a "solo" ask an instructor to go up with you just incase and pay for thier slot (you might be able to do one by yourself thats what i did but if its a stability prob they may want someone else up there "Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone." Pablo Picasso.

just try to judge the person u can usaully tell if the person has a sense of humor if they do a joke will settle them down cause a they r thinking of something other than dieing plus they see that you r confident enough in your skills to be joking around "Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone." Pablo Picasso.

alan yer very new (50 jumps)thats why i said "not that im saying i know more than u cause i dont" yer i looked some very interesting stuff yer i understand that ha ha ha ha no i dont, unfortanatly it was good but not that good i did sort of assume but im not the worlds best canopy pilot or anything like that and cause i dont know her skills i was generalizing based on her weight ect and based on my own experiences. of course i wouldnt recomend for her to downsize/buy ect without asking instructers that know her skills. but she was already going to do that. all this time i havnt meant to be dissing u or nothen cause u do know more than me. i just still dont understand why making such a big change (based on weight) is "asking for trouble" i await your reply, we can all ALWAYS learn something new in this sport sweet swoops :-) Skyhawk / ben "Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone." Pablo Picasso.

hey anon fuck up i dont listen to any critisim of anyone if it is posted by an anon person. get some balls and log on then i will listen to your point of view. plus leave the newbies alone this sport isnt going to get bigger if ppl like you give ppl with a couple of jumps shit. hell if i just started and ppl like u started to give me shit about my dreams just cause im a newbee im not sure if i would continue. usually i dont get so skitso but i was a newbee not to long ago and i know its hard wanting to do all this stuff everyone else "can do" "Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone." Pablo Picasso.

froggie u greedy girl a camera flyer AND a packer jeez 2 guys (hey u cant skydive 24/7 :-) ) "Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone." Pablo Picasso.

mr Anon how the hell do u know if they jump or not or do someother sport if u care so much about what other ppl wear mayby you r inmsicure and full of fear "Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone." Pablo Picasso.

yer prob right about him jumpen just new that he spent alot of time with jumpers "Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone." Pablo Picasso.

froggie i reakon go with sabre 150 :-) ok mayby im a little biased. Alan i dont see why she would have a prob downsizing (not that im saying i know more than u cause i dont)but i downsized from a 240 to a 150 in one and im easily landing them all and am accutally lookin at getting a smaller one and im 5'5 about 136 with gear. froggie if u go a 150 as already said easily sold and if u choose to get a sabre ask a packer for help cause everyone of my openings has been great, it all in the nose:-) container doesnt really matter if you r going new and reserve a 140 would easily cover u. "Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone." Pablo Picasso.

Pablo Picasso.

what is the coolest exut u have done/seen "Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone." Pablo Picasso.

just wondering what things, quotes, songs ect have inspired u relating to skydiving (intentional or not) eg found this on a base site today IMAGINE there is a bank that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening it deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course! Each of us has such a bank. Its name is TIME. Every morning it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going back. There is no drawing against the "tomorrow." You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and success! The clock is running. Make the most of today. To realize the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade. To realize the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth prematurely. To realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper. To realize the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet. To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train. To realize the value of ONE SECOND, ask the jumper who pulled too late. To realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND, ask the person who won a silver medal at the Olympics. Treasure every moment you have and treasure it more because you overcame your natural fears and took that leap of faith (and perhaps you shared it with someone special). And remember that time waits for no one. Live life to it's fullest, so you'll be able to brag of your exploits to the other old geezers when you're in a nursing home. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why they call it the PRESENT! also some quotes http://www.basejump.org/quotes.html
