  1. Pammi, start learning FREEFLYING!!!!! That is the best!!!!!!!
  2. Hey dude, take some coachaing that really helps. Other than that, the best thing to do is: -exit in sit if u tip over -get on your back -bring your knees up and push back your arms(as if you were to get up from a couch) -when in sit have all your lower body at 90 degrees -NEVER go belly-down :) It is easier to get in sit if you are on your back
  3. I had 2-out situation on my jump 30. Pulled bellow 2000' and had FXC activated round reserve (it was a rented student rig). After pulling cut-away handle, right riser got snaged on something behind in container and a piece of cable. Anyway with partialy cut-away, tilted main i got in a pretty bad spin. So spinning, having one of the lines choking me a bit, i finaly got rid of the main at a bit less than 100' on my judgement(alti indicated zero). Anyways, i had pretty hard landing on that reserve. Hope you learn the lesson from this: DON'T pull low if you are using AAD. You should pull 1000' above set activation altitude for student AAD. -- Blue Skies ---

    Depression!

    Hey man!!! :) Just think, what's the worse thing could happen if u come and talk to a girl in a bar? :) She might reject you, but that's about it. So??? There is plenty of fish in a sea!!! Keep on trying and you'll find someone special!!! The only reason some chicks act all that unapproachable, is just to hide thei shyness too!! Edited by denaga on 4/1/01 05:21 AM.

    superstition

    I always say a little prayer for everyone's safety and for my skills to improve, and touch hands with the skydiving buddies and wish them a good one

    Best DZ ?

    Skydive Arizona is really nice!!!!!
  14. I think there shouldn't be a legal limit as by what altitude your main must be deployed I really hate it when i get in shit for low pulls !!! In canada it's 2200', but I think it's a person's judgment when to pull. And SECOND, I don not agree with some DZ's policy that makes AAD mandatory, it's also should be just a person's choice

    LOW

    I LOVE LOW pulls, do it all the time, the LOWEST i ever pulled was just bellow 2000' once just was curious: What's the LOWEST altitude you ever pulled at? What's the LOWEST altitude you ever did a hook turn at?
  16. I have about 100 jumps(will have wayyy more by the end of summer), and thinking of getting an elliptical canopy!!! Which one would you experienced people to recomend? I want something that turf-surfs better than sabres but not really high performance What would be the safest yet good for swooping transition eliptical canopy?

    quincy

    When is Quincy thing happening?
  19. Last Summer, when i was jumping student rig, i had round reserve deployment right aftre i did flightcheck on the main When tried to cut off the main, the right side entangled with reserve, and got me in a bad spin. I finally cut away main at less than 100 feet off the ground. So i had really nasty landing. Does anyone know any good websites that discuss DOUBLE DEPLOYMENT ISSUE? HOW TO FLY TWO CANOPIES AT ONCE, etc ? I know there is article in Parachutist, but can't find that issue

    Canopies

    I have a Sabre 190, and most of my opennigs just beat the crap out of me!!! Not only they are hard, but had a couple of times that half of the canopy collapsed for a few secs I'm just curious. TO EVERYONE who jumps SABRES: Do u ever get it? How's most of the openings? I don't know if i should buy Sabre for next downsized canopy or something else

    Has anyone had a chance to jump the new Javelin Odyssey and Voodoo? Any suggestions which one would be more comfortable for Freeflying?
