Stop thinking too much. Go do your AFF then decide how you feel. It's natural, I still get nervous before a jump or a swoop ... No biggie. That's what makes it FRICKEN AWESOME!!!!

Lol.lol.lol..can't stop laughing. Please do get video.

i'm assuming hooks like these http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jika-tabi.jpg Yep, just like that. They go about halfway to my knee, so they're actually less likely to come off (being under my jumpsuit and all and secured by the jumpsuit velcor) than my sneakers. Found these for ya. Figured they were your style :)

Please post pics of your busted /mangled toes and or feet when it happens. Get some protection

If I ever see you I'm going to break your jaw... Enjoy that.

That B license is " a little shakey" with. 1300+ fake jumps...

Sell it a buy a mirage...

read your post again and ask yourself if you would give advice to such a post?!?? fill out your profile, otherwise many think you are a fu... TROLL! low drag riser on a 120...LMFAO! Douche bag comment.. Like you knows hit!!!

33 jumps with a new rig? Looks like someone has too much money on their hands they don't know what to do with it..just saying. have you considered you're WL is close to 1.0? have you considered seeking advise from the instructors at your DZ (whom you recently got lessons from)? have you considered a canopy course? typical douch bag comment... Just answer his question .If not shut the fuck up

Your either a fool, or an idiot to think that the hoodie cannot, or will not get caught up in your risers one of these days. Let's say you get lucky and it doesn't, can you say with certainty that it may not, or will not obstruct your vision in canopy traffic one day? Wear a helmut, with a good 360° vision path. If I ever see anyone wearing a hoodie, I won't get on that load. Don't be selfish, consider others on the load. I know it hasn't bit you yet, but everything in it's own time. Good luck. Your a complete fucking idiot... You barely have any jumps!!!! If you were on my load I'd grab your silly ass face and tell you to have a killer solo jump bro:/ let me guess your a bad ass on your head!!! Solo... Jumping in a hoodie is completely fine!!! Let me ask. Have you ever done it?? Nope just asking NON SENSE remark that have no validation. I have over 1500 jump in a hoodie. Probably 750 H&S p s for swoop s... The rest terminal... I can't stand queers like you.. Your the typical bar type that portrays how badass he is flying his new sabre 2 170. :/... Night douche bag

Sorry PWILLIAMS im not a Fucking troll slipping through EVERY thread and up to date on every post... Ps the damn HOODIE is no big deal. I've jumped with a hoodie on for well over 1500 jumps...Never gonna wrap up in my risers.

When I'm not working occasionally i fly in a hooded sweater with draw strings. I usually tuck them in. But noticed in some pics they tend to come out free flying and wrap through my 3 rings. If i was to have a cutaway this might be a big issue. Just want to put it out there to be safe and DON'T jump with draw strings... Might not ever be a issue but who knows...

40 weeks? what the hell? UPT only hired 1 dude to manufacturer rigs? Can anyone from UPT address this 40 week lead time? I mean c'mon, that rig better have a life time warranty for a 40 week lead time or perhaps when you get the new rig have a case of beer packed in the container. 40 weeks is almost waiting for a baby to be born (or something like that) Peesseeeeeesss " wait for the best" right.. That's why I opted for a curve... THE BEST OUT :)... These companies have NO LOYALTY TOWARDS US. Why would I towards them??? They deal with military contracts... You think they give a shit about your shiny custom neon micron with a grinning pig??? I think not...

And this is the problem now days. This is why guys are getting hurt. Believe me i know..l take your time bro. Never downsize until you can DO EVERYTHING ON YOUR CURRENT CANOPY. Just cause you yank a toggle and it spins does not qualify as a technique hens time to downsize. Not trying to beq douche. Just don't be in such a hurry...

IMO horrrrible idea... One bad landing or ect. Kids gone... Kinda irresponsible in my opinion...:/

Yep received the same email from her. Western union was her method of choice..lol

hullo..new in the sport and i'm still renting gear until i get to a comfortable wing to fly. But i've heard alot of people rave and crave and swear to the Almighty that the Curve is the rig to end all rigs. Why isn't it worth the $3000? Thanks Its just NOT worth ths 3k price tag... I think cause its new and hot and ALOT of R&d went into it they have to recoup some $$$... I ve tried it on and its nice...Nothing over the top just nice. It kinda has a wide feel/look to it. As in it look like it covers your whole back.. Im gonna stick with Mirage. Imo they are a top tier rig. Always been good to me. They aren't 3K, more like 2500 like many others. And to many, it is worth the price. Quotes from riggers I know: "By far the most comfortable rig I've ever had on", "Sandy knocked it out of the park with the Curv", "I'd buy it for the Bio-Yoke alone". To say definitively that "they aren't worth it", is just your opinion. You seemed set on the Mirage from the start. This is more of a "Aren't Mirages teh awesumz" thread, than a genuine discussion of the merits of different rigs. First of all on they site THEY SAY $2950 .. So lets clear that. True discounts kick in with dealers. But another reason you shouldnt make douche bag comments..its NOT a Pro mirage thread... I just put 50% down tonight on the curve... So lets get your mouth washed out with my bazinggg... Dont come on here acting like a fool. Keep that for your buddies on how bad ass you are cause you jump out of a plane:). It was simply a thread getting feedback. I looked into curve and decided that was the way im going. Kinda feel stupid now huh?

Thanks. Might end up going that route.

Ha sorry kinda rambled. Meant to say rig choices

So lookjg for a new rig. Have jumped and had around 4 mirage containers. Started jumping an older infinity years ago... micron is OUT due to the 9 MONTH WAITING TIME!!! Might just stick with Mirage but damn can never get anyone to get back too me. pisses me off. Even just a quick email would be nice. So looked into Infinity. Not too familiar with them. What do people have to say about Infinity ?? Also have considered the Curve. But not with a $3000 price tag. Not even considering it anymore. ( unless they throw a new optimum 126 in) thanks guys. Just trying to get some opinions before i choose Friday.

And vortexer1[/repl ??! Huh

Hell no... I swoop my canopy usually 10-20 times a weekend. Those are all h&p s.. Plus its your $$$

So i had a bad outcome about 8 months ago. Just a bad /low turn and messed my knee up. Been about 8 1/2 months since my last jump. Ill admit , kinda nervous. Not sure if i bust out a 720 :) j /k... Probably just land normal and get comfortable. This was my fist and only injury that required me to take time off. Just wanted to get others opinions on how i should come back and approach thevsituation. Ill be jumping in Hawaii tmro... Any advice would be great. Kinda feel like im starting over :/
