freeflysteve replied to Girlfalldown's topic in The Bonfire
my daughter got trampled on when they moved the barrier for firework display disney couldnt give a damm about it just gave her a cheap plush wouldnt go back there if it was the last place on earth took the kids back to florida last summer and never went near a disney park,did all the others and even took my girls to the wind tunnel(beats disney any day of the week) Swooping, huh?

NO REFLECTION ON SKYDIVERS IF SOMEBODY DIES IT HAS TO BE INVESTIGATED IF IT WASNT AND IT WAS SUSPICIOUS THEN WHERE WOULD WE BE? WHATEVER HAPPENED IT STILL SUCKS THAT ANOTHER PERSON HAS DIED THIS YEAR,TOO MANY PEOPLE WHEN YOU CONSIDER HOW FEW OF US ACTUALLY JUMP OUT OF AN AEROPLANE MY SYMPATHY GOES OUT TO HIS FAMILY AND THE FAMILIES OF ALL SKYDIVERS WE HAVE LOST THIS YEAR RIP Swooping, huh?

mr2 etc got it all about right protrack has 3 settings get outta here(break off)pull(your setting)and oh shit(you were too late!) basically takes 4 to 5 seconds for average deployment and pro track records until you are sub terminal somewhere between deployment and fully open canopy,roughly half way. you will notice on some jumps like hop and pop all small delays (under 10 seconds)it wont record a jump. whats really cool if you are in say a porter and come down with the plane cos say jump limit changed or some other nice and not dangerous reason if the pilot puts plane in a dive it will show exit altitude and when pilot levels out it will show deployment altitude anyways bro have fun skydiving blue skies Swooping, huh?

Oh right on Americans try diplomacy in that position! You would have gone in all guns blazing,we got our guys out quick and simple with minimum bloodshed. After hurricane Katrina your shooting your own people for looting and tv footage has cops helping themselves! Our guys are stuck in Iraq just like yours,its a shame we cant sort out problems in our home countries before telling the rest of the world how to sort out their problems,luckily Blair hasnt got much longer and neither has Bush then the twins can go on the speech circuit and write books!

hi landings were my big failure earlier on in the sport had 67 jumps before i jumped my own gear first rig had a spectre 150,went over to zhills to collect my gear and a week of jumping first landing attracted a lot of attention as i screamed in wow that canopy was fast compared to all the student kit i had been jumping on average i probably had a stand up landing one in five jumps if there was a wrong way to do it i was pretty much the expert many an evening was spent trying to make my container into the lovely orange colour instead of the brown and green it was turning into! over the next six or so months i got my jump numbers up to about 150 and was still spending time getting rid of those green stains! one day one of the crew team (golden lions) said to me what are you doing and he sat me down and went over the basics and then watched my landings flaring was only part of the problem,my biggest fault was watching where the canopy was taking me rather than watching where i wanted the canopy to go you guessed it if it was taking me left i instinctively gave it a little bit more left hand input and if it took me right then i gave it more right,bit like driving a motorbike she will go where you look the resultant landings were some spectacular rolls and luckily it never hurt me after my little chat with this guy my landings just got better and better i now jump a sabre2 97 and have got just over 1300 jumps it would have been so easy to give up with all the bad landings but i just wanted top be in the sky i have now travelled to about 19 countries skydiving and would not have wanted to miss one of those trips and the great people i have met in the sport if you can stick with it then please give it a little bit more time or maybe just take a few months out and come back with a fresh head one thing i also did was canopy school when i had about 600 jumps and wow was that a learning curve and something i wish i had done many jumps sooner everyday i jump i learn thats one thing you never stop doing in our sport keep with it blue skies steve Swooping, huh?

If you havent visited empuria then try and fit it in your diary for a visit I learnt to skydive there just over 31/2 years ago and have beeen there over 30 times since I have jumped at over 20 different dropzones and Empuria rates in the top The levels of experience in all skydive disciplines means everybody has the chance whether a beginner or experienced to gain something from a visit to Europes busiest dropzone The night life is good too and there are some really good restaurants not least Bruno and Gabys OASIS restaurant Get on the net and book your trip you wont regret it
