    argh my university shut down direct connect somehow... anybody know any sneaky ways to get around this? like a port number that usually doesn't get shut down? MB 3528, RB 1182

    I've heard that the PD factory will reline canopies from other manufacturers... is this true? do they charge more? MB 3528, RB 1182

    oooo ooo I know. tell em that some skydivers have bigger dicks than others, causing a more pointed falling shape, and so they fall faster. then you tell em that you are the fastest faller at your dz. MB 3528, RB 1182

    and what happened to the apparent rule that we couldn't edge out on the wing because it would damage it and it was against the rules? MB 3528, RB 1182

    ok I have heard before that having a misrouted chest strap doesn't automatically equal death. But on here, a lot of people think that it does. Has anybody done any research on the subject? How many people have actually fallen out of their harness due to a misrouted strap? Were they wearing student gear or custom stuff? MB 3528, RB 1182

    Sounds like the reporter didn't have a clue about either aviation or skydiving and misunderstood terms mentioned to him/her eg. S/L for an automatic deployment 'safety mechanism'. I believe the reporter is referring to the toggles that he pulled down to flare on landing. and the "automatic deployment safety mechanism" was the cypress. All dz pilots are very experienced (no DZO would hire otherwise). Most have a CPL (commericial pilots licence) - I'm not sure if this is required by the FAA under flying for reward. In any case he would have been sufficiently experienced to recover from a spin from 3,500'. I believe that the CPL is required, along with several hundred hours of flight time (not sure of exact amount). However, I know at many small DZs the pilots are doing the job in order to get flight time, in order to eventually get a better job. MB 3528, RB 1182

    or how many of them say they will eventually skydive, or want to. kinda pointless to put it down as a hobby if you havn't done it. MB 3528, RB 1182

    stalling the canopy is both fun and scary. Just make sure you let up the toggles slowly after it collapses. if you jerk them back up, the canopy pops, and swings you around pretty violently. thats not a good thing and like someone else said, its important that before doing a hard spiral, do a small turn first, then pull the toggle all the way down. don't just go from full flight to one toggle buried in 1 motion. I've gotten line twists by not doing that even on a sabre loaded under 1:1 MB 3528, RB 1182

    hahahaha. that is so true. how many hot chicks do you see doing solos? MB 3528, RB 1182

    36,000 sq ft? wouldn't just the football field itself be at least 57,000 sq ft? because a football field is 100 yds * 53 yds = 57,000 sq ft. This doesn't include the coaches/team area, plus the track around the field. but from the SIM I believe you are correct, it would definitely fall within 150 yards long by 80 yards wide.

    when someone either gets directly above the formation or directly below it. the person either pulls the formation into their burble, or they fall into the formations burble. either way, you usually get the domino effect and everyone flops together and the formation goes to sh*t. I've actually been in a 4way that funneled 3 times on one jump. and I someone avoided being in each funnel MB 3528, RB 1182

    yeah you got it. bwwahahah that has to be one of the funniest lines from the simpsons... cheeeewy?!? MB 3528, RB 1182

    Why FM, of course! You don't have FM in Kansas oh I beg to differ. Im a student in engineering, so half the stuff we learn is FM MB 3528, RB 1182

    I also had access to cheap gear rental, so I bought mine used at around 60 jumps. and remember, its fairly cheap to demo canopies. MB 3528, RB 1182

    I wouldn't get so stressed out about it... thousands of static line trainees do their first few jumps at 3500 or lower. I totally agree with the guy who said to watch the plane as you do it... its really cool the first time you see the plane just float away. MB 3528, RB 1182
