    A guy at my dz has a lip ring and every time I talk to him I find myself stareing at that ring. If you had a lip ring I might not stare at your boobs. blues jerry

    Hi Dude, I jumped at 5 DZ's here in the northwest befor I had my A. In fact my first jump off student status was at a different DZ, just be upfront about your skills and have your log book ready. It helps if your a member of the USPA. I would highly recommend Kapowsin as a safe DZ. blue skies jerry

    Believe me Ivan, the guys had more fun watching me pack my new saber, than they did watching me land it. both were pretty funny. I did the phyco pack starting out but quit after about 30 pack jobs, it opens ok and you need a bridle extension, but its not really recommended by PD to pack that way. Any thing other than a pd pro pack, you can consider yourself a test jumper. Here's what I do, when i get ready to roll the tail, with my palm open and my thumb pointed down, I lay the lines on my wrist, freeing my hand to pencil roll the tail and hold it until I lay the canopy down. Than my knee go's on that roll and stays there until I fold the canopy. Once you get the air out you have to keep an arm or leg on it until you get it in the bag, all the while it tries to go seven different directions. good luck! wish I could watch. blue skies jerry

    Been flying at 1.35 from jump 40 on. Don't plan to change any time soon. While WL BSR's are all well and good, I don't know how you can make it work without being platform specific. Why reinvent the wheel, when you can just follow manufacturers recommendations. blue skies jerry

    I disconnect mine when I do crew, I have enough slack to tuck it into the top of my mud flap. whether this is right or wrong I have no idea. ask your rigger. blue jerry

    I agree with Vectorboy, when I went to mini risers so I could pull my slider down, I didn't have anyplace to stow my excess steering line so I just let it hang. Once in a while the excess line will flip up into the canopy lines on opening and hang up slightly, but it always pulls out easily. I always clear for traffic, stow my slider, pop the brakes and CCC right away while I'm still high. blues jerry

    I jump at the largest DZ in Oregon and I think there might be a couple of guys close to 1.5 plus with 500 jumps. edit to add: I don't think there are any low timers on crossed braced, I don't think it would be allowed. blues jerry

    Hi, one thing that should be mentioned, if you have to make a braked approach low to avoid an obstical,so be it. However I've been told once near the ground in half breaks if you let up on the toggles the canopy will dive as it goes back into full flight. hope this helps. blue skies jerry

    Hi base698, as a new jumper I assembled my whole rig including the control lines under the supervision of a rigger it's not hard at all. Simply get the right material and go to it. Have a rigger check your work. At my DZ on weather days we sit around and make closing loops for sport rigs and tandems. The finger trapping tools we use are all home made. Simply take 2ft small diaminter stainless steel wire and double it, than attach the free ends to a handle. You too can be a finger trapping fool. blue skies jerry
