  2. Not being a smart ass, but in case you didn't know there is a pretty popular classifieds section on this webpage. You might already know that, but I'm just helping you out if you didn't already know. Good luck finding what you are looking for, blue skies
  3. [QUOTE]I'd recommended a GTI for a first suit.[/QUOTE] Why? Because its safe for a beginner to practice on, or because the WS flyer would be able to push it to further limits than a classic? Just curious on your reasoning. I understand the S3 to be too radical of a suit until one has a lot of experience. I thought the GTi was more suited to a mildly experienced person. Are there people that fly in GTis for the first flight? Birdman obviously recomends you buy a classic, then a GTi, and then a S3, but I kinda think thats because they want to sell suits (which is understandable) --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

  6. I see it in USPA's best interest to cover you guys during your demo jumps. Afterall, you're spreading parachuting to whuffos, a few of whom probably get interested and eventually go on to become skydivers. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

  9. looks like he handled it well. When in doubt, chop. Thats what I've always been told, by multiple people. Don't waste your last moments trying to figure out why your canopy is screwing up. Thanks for posting the video, it was entertaining. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

  13. [QUOTE]Aerordyne systems took 400 man hours to build this flag, which is 5200 sq ft[/QUOTE] Holy shit, thats a lot of man hours. I hope it was more than just one man. Is that a flag from south africa or something? --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

  16. wow, thats the greatest first WS flight story I've ever read. Only 188 more jumps before I start begging skyone to teach me! --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...
  17. you dont happen to have a camera that you could take a picture of that would you? Im curious --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...
  18. I think choice 1 and 2 are the same! People that skydiving means everything too are usually the people that are wanting to jump MORE AND MORE! --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...
  19. you may already have done so, but if not ask BM!! Report back what they say, sounds like a neat idea. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

  23. Thanks I'll remember that! Turning the cypres off at the end of the day and then turning it back on wastes more batteries than letting it shut itself off after the 14 hours expires, I've heard. But wouldn't it waste less if you knew you were going to have to "restart" it for the next morning's first jump anyways, and just going ahead and manually shutting it off after the last jump of the day. I mean, you have to turn it off/on again anyways, its just a matter of when you do it, in the morning of the next day or that evening. If you did it in the morning you would of let the damn thing sit idle on all during the night. You would obviously only do this if you were SURE you were going to be jumping the next day, otherwise you would let it auto shut itself off. Right? Am I making sense? Thanks. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...
  24. im pretty new to skydiving, but I think youre talking about velcro or velcroless risers. Velcroless risers wear the brake line less. On veclro risers the hook portion of the velcro can catch the lines and fray them. Also velcro should be replaced after ~100-200 uses (if you read hooknswoop's gear tips). I think most experienced people prefer velcroless for these reasons. On velcro risers (which I have) I've been told to always place the toggles onto the velcro right after I land, so that it won't catch any lines on it. Hopefully someone else will chime in if I've missed anything. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...
