    MountainMan snapped that Pic of me last spring at Hinckley. Then my stupid ass tried to alter it because I was bored and saved in on accident. I landed fine (although a little ways from the main landing area) under my Hornet 150. --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM

    I now understand that there won't be a huge difference but because of my uncurrentness and lack of jump numbers I agree that jumping a 170 at least once would be a smart idea. Canopy flight for me has always been more of an art then a science. The landing flare is never going to be the same each jump and feeling out the flare is a good feeling indeed. I love landing Thank you to everybody. As always said, this is why DZ.com rocks

    On my gear I've biffed once and landed feet, ass, flare! feet once so the definate majority of my landings have been stand up. That's about 20 jumps on my gear. Student jumps were not as pretty but a lot of standups still. I've been jumping a semi eliptical 150 since jump number 10 or 12. And I can't go out and buy a Tri Rhino Chris --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM

    The last skydive I made was in June of 2002. When I made tha jump I weighed 145 lbs naked so figure 165-170lbs all suited up and ready to jump. I want to get back in to skydiving (really bad) and due to quitting smoking and drinking beer I weigh 158lbs naked so figure 178-183lbs w/ gear now. My question is: How much faster should I expect my Hornet 150 to fly on my higher wingloading? Will my landings be a lot faster and turns a lot snappier or will there be minimal change? Chris PS: I flew my canopy well, know how to use flat turns and stood up my landings. Edit: I have 58 jumps which my profile does reflect --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM

    I thought is was something you unbuckle at 1000 ft. Do a lot of people wear their seatbelt to alt? --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM

    Damn that was the funniest thing I've read in a while. I kept thinking of Austin Powers swinging Mini-Me around in "Goldmember". If he was only singing "Pass the Douchie" LMAO that was good Chris --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM

    - Shaving regularly - jumping in the middle of a party, kind of a wallflower - taking compliments - not procrastinating - staying home on work nights - eating El Faro's burritos too often MMMmmmm Chris --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM

    If you added yellow pinstripes to "bluegrey" that would look pretty sweet. What do you think? --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM

    This statement would not get a meal much less respect from me. I just traveled to and from Vegas from O'hare w/ my rig slinged over my back and had no trouble. Does that make me a stupid newbie skydiver? If so, so be it. Tell me, what is the problem? You might have passed up on meeting someone really cool that maybe you could've helped all because she didn't have a gear bag.

    Are you and a friend kneeling between cars in the lot smoking hitter bats or was that just my high school? Chris --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM

    Who cares? She's the dumbass Don't forget to mention how fast skydivers go down and while you are falling through industrial haze you can breathe through your ears Chris --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM

    My rig is mostly black w/ some silver and blue. I put red stiching which looks pretty sweet. See below --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM

    PUB Haiku

    lets go to the pub and drink lots of drinks for free I'm going there now --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM

    Ain't it? It sure ain't. I try to look on the bright side though. This call center job did pay for all of my skydiving and gear. The only problem is I still live at home ($200 per month rent) and I won't be 21 for ever. Plus it's boring as hell working here, if I didn't have DZ.com I'd probably have to quit. --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM

    I ended up buying a cell phone w/ a camera attachment and finally got it to work. The first pic is my winnings from the blackjack table in Vegas. Pic number 2 is the view from my hotel window and the last pic is me, back at work. I'm sick and wishing I was still in Vegas.
