well im sorry you feel that way.... i really am... and the king air is the weekday plane... on the weekend it is at there other d.z. in pell city alabama. and they run a twin otter.. -
it is normall for a first jump student not to remember anything... it was that way with me also... im now 6 years later. an aff instructor myself... the fear your haveing now ..after the jump is also normal... but what i fand is if you want to overcome that.. and you put your efforts tawords overcoming that fear.. it will make you one of the more dedicated and eventually one of the more experianced jumpers... your hooked and you know it... so go out skydive and have a good time... make sure you dont get in a car accident on the way to the dz though.... cars are very very dangerous.... you could get killed driving one ./...."you know what i mean??""

the owners own drop zones in alabama.. 30 min from birmingham "pell city" and also a drop zone in atlanta asc. that is very close to tennasee and alabama and is in georgia... that is why they market those area's that is why the phone numbers are the same... because all the schedualling goes out of one office for both drop zones..... do you see a problem with thair marketing stratagy???? i sure dont.. they are just running a buissness... you are a skydivere arent you??? then dont worrie yourselves with thair marketing strategy... it only makes you look like a negative person... it is really a cool drop zone with alot of good things for you " the skydiver".. and all this is paid for by the large amount of tandams they do out of tennasee georgia alabama missippi and sometimes south caralina... they try to get buissness wherever they can... i dont blame them either... i know the owner personally and he is a geinious when it comes to marketing.. that is why all the bad roumours about them because other drop zones feel threatened by them... when it coems to getting tandams... but for you as a skydiver i bet you would really like it there and the awsome skydives you get if you just went by... i try to stay out of drop zone polatics. and i try to goto the other compeating drop zones to meet peaple....looks like i will be needing to goto tollahoma next and meet the peaple there...... but all im saying is dont say bad things about them for thair marketing tactics... if you not a drop zone operator then it is none of your buissness... and to the drop zone operators that this affects... well all i can say is im sorry you have to deal with such an agressive competitor.. im glad it isnt mee.. edit to add: i know i cant spell and i dont care...... im also too lazy to use the spell chack thingy..... -
you are more than likely going to have to convert to a throwout pilot chute one day... you might as well do it now.. talk to your instructor...

awww i see....... very scary............ im such a wimp when it gets to other canopies being close to me..
-
thanks for the info.... next time could we get more of a notice... im on the eastside.. i know i would like to go and im sure i could get 3 peaple to go with me also if i had 1 months notice or so.. thanks
-
i honestly dont know exactly what could cause this.... at least im haveing trouble putting it into words.... but you try and go take one of the student canopies and try this... it could easaly spin into line twist... is there somone out there that could explain this.... im not the best person to ask when it comes to explaining things.... read the post above this one i think he did ok at explaining this..
-
im sorry.. i dont know much about crw... what is a dragplane??? do you mean downplane?? or am i way off base here?
-
welll... its your thread... haahahaha.. goto chicks rock also...
-
device dependant...?? im not device dependant unless you consider my canopie a device! im definatly canopie dependant.... and i use a cypress... well i dont use it ... i have a cypress..

gate 2 of the king air tent??? there was only one... wasnt there?
-
i could go for days. but i got WAY too much energy... soo everbody says..... but i kinda like it... but im sure if i didnt make a bunch of jumps in a day i would either be depressed or have even more energy.... i think i would be depressed though..

this is a perfect example of why the new isp has the student preform these "high performance" menouvers at a high altatude. they want to show you that you can spin up into line twist and also to show you that the canopy dives. so you dont do somthing like this at a low altatude.. if you had done this say at 500 ft.. you might not be here right now.. it is very very easy to spin yourself into severe line twist. especially on a very lightly loaded canopy.. glad to see you learned the lesson.. i did the same thing when i started... but like i said. this is a prime example of why the new isp has students do this on the little yellow card before they get signed off...

goto chicks rock in elsnore oct 5-6... then at the end of the month goto mike mullins hollaween boogie..... i wanna make some jumps with you anyways.. i will be at both of those... maybee some others that spark my interest also..
