It's the work of the devil. Lefties need to be forced to write with their right hand. I don't know why they didn't think of this sooner. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

I have been extremely busy at work lately and I just don't have the time to read every post like I used to. I know, it's really tragic. Anyway, when there's drama on dropzone.com can someone post in this thread to bring it to the top so everyone, myself included, would know to either drop their busy day and search for whatever drama has arisen or avoid it at all costs? Thanks in advance. Edited for Buried! -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

Oh man, I missed it! Ah well, happy Birthday anyway Gia!

Oh don't worry. I have friends on the force. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

It's not legal. I've already called the cops. The jig is up. Don't try and run. Just go sit back down and finish your beer til they arrive. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

OK I think I understand what you're saying here. We're not talking wing loading, we're just talking about a new skydiver buying all new gear. Seems pretty simple to me. Here's what I've learned in my short 3+ years of skydiving. Skydivers are (almost) always going to downsize. The only problem I see with buying new gear this early on is that in 6 months or a year everything is going to be too big for you. You start out with a big reserve and a rig that can fit that reserve and a bigger canopy because that's what you should be jumping but eventually you get more dialed in and want a smaller main. You can put a smaller main in some rigs but you can't go too small unless you get something like a Wings where you can change the size of the closing loop to tighten it down but even that has it's limits. Eventually though, your stuck with this rig that has a reserve that's so much bigger than your main that your rig looks misshaped. You realize that now your skills are so much better that you don't need a reserve that big anymore but you're stuck because containers are made to hold only one size reserve as far as I know. So in a very short period of time you're looking at buying all new gear again and you're kicking yourself for spending 5 grand 6-12 months ago on all new gear when you could have spent a lot less on used gear to hone your skills on (and trash) and then bought new gear when you were closer to the size gear you'd be comfortable jumping for a long time. So it's basically a money issue. Nothing else. Now if people are just being jerks because they're jealous that's one thing but if they are actually just trying to explain this to you that's a whole different thing. If you have the money for it though then do what you want! I think that's the longest I've ever posted before. Edited to remove my sigline.

Wow this thread brought back some nice memories of when I first got into skydiving 3+ years ago. I remember I couldn't get a damn thing done at work because I kept having level one go through my head. Then it was level three or six or something, then the rest of them. I'd never had something grab me that much. I would do searches for anything skydiving/skydiver/skidive/parachute related and this site eventually popped up. Ah the good ole days. I remember reading every single thread and when I was done I'd start at the top looking for new posts. I knew EVERYTHING that went on in here. Sounds kind of silly now but it was exactly what I needed back then. I still read posts but mostly if they catch my attention, use my name or are by someone I know. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

~Drool! I can't have carbs, sugar or alcohol for two weeks and that made my mouth water. The little things.... -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

I watched Halloween this morning and got scared so now I'm watching Zoolander. I had a portabella mushroom omlette for breakfast and my neck is hurting like a biaatch. I've also knitted two more rows on my scarf thingy. Whoo hoo my life kicks ass. I'm going back to bed. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)
