sounds like there's not much you like about skydivers in general. Or maybe you are just better than us? I have a suggestion, take up bowling. I heard bowlers are much cooler people. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

call Z-Hills.not sure what the absolute is but have seen some fat fokkers come through. I'm sure they will take into account his physical condition. I'm also pretty sure they have a new 300ft Navigator. It's worth a phone call. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

Should the Reserve be larger or same size as the Main?
towerrat replied to skymiles's topic in Gear and Rigging
I didn't vote. I think reserves should be sized appropriatly for your weight, but this is obviously not the trend.I jump a PD143.At a wingload of 1.5 it is clearly overloaded for my skill level. I made my decision and am ready to accept any consequences stemmimg from its use.Where I jump there is a lot of open space, and I wanted a slightly cleaner rig.I disagree with the statement that a reserve is easier to fly because it is more docile.If you have never flown it before, or have limited experience under it, you still really can't fly it, can you?

ya know, everybody keeps talking about how the skydiving community is different,feel the love, can't we all just get along, blah, blah, blah. While I do agree with some of it some of the time, I refuse to be treated like shit anywhere, even the dropzone. If I walk onto your DZ to make some jumps, I am a CUSTOMER, no more, no less.If you treat me well, I will try to come back, if you treat me badly, I will tell everyone I know. You speak of bad will and representative experience. I don't care how other people were treated if you ( a DZ ) were nasty to me. And if you have treated me poorly, you have already sewn the seeds of bad will. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
