    People have been doing this since before the 80's. Probably as long as there has been motorcycles. never pull low......unless you are

    When it came out my surfing friend was bitching about it. Then he looked at me and asked me if the skydiving was real? never pull low......unless you are

    But, and as hard as it may sound, you just need to RELAX! People always perform better when they are more relaxed. Good advice. Remember, we're jumping because it's fun. never pull low......unless you are

    Did I miss the "skydiving scene?" I'd really like to see that. There's 2 skydiving scenes and you haven't missed either. never pull low......unless you are

    Yes. (note: the word first) never pull low......unless you are

    In the era of GPS spotting, it's not so likely that a bad spot over clouds/water will happen, unless the pilot is confused. I see jumpers land off almost every weekend. There must be a lot of confused pilots out there. never pull low......unless you are

    In the US, it is illegal to punch a cloud, or to be within 1000 feet above, 500 feet below, or 2000 feet horizontally from them -- further if above 10000 feet MSL. The danger is to other aircraft. In the US, we have uncontrolled VFR over undercasts, as well as under overcasts. Separation from aircraft is visual, so we need to be able to see them. So, it's always wrong. Not that it doesn't happen pretty often. The jump aircraft also has to meet the same cloud separation distances. In the era of GPS spotting, it's not so likely that a bad spot over clouds/water will happen, unless the pilot is confused. About the time I started jumping, a load of jumpers drowned from a bad over clouds/over water spot.. I know of a couple of tandems that landed at the wrong airport because the pilot pushed the wrong button on his GPS. never pull low......unless you are

    My wife and I were happy for 20 years.........then we met each other. never pull low......unless you are

    I used to live on the north side of the lake. For those not familiar with it, Lake Okeechobee has a diameter of 45 miles (approx.) never pull low......unless you are

    No BJ button on the men's remote. Could probably convert one of the mute buttons though. never pull low......unless you are

    I wouldn't recommend jumping through a solid cloud layer (especially near a big lake) to anyone, regardless of experience level. never pull low......unless you are
  17. SkydiverRick
    I think that you made the right decision. never pull low......unless you are

    Answer: Untie your shoes. Why you ask, because it gives you something to do before you bounce. That's pretty good. I answer the whuffos by saying "walk towards the white light". never pull low......unless you are
  19. SkydiverRick
    If my memory is correct, some of them didn't quit soon enough. never pull low......unless you are

    Friday eye opener. never pull low......unless you are
  21. SkydiverRick
    Fear--- Not the natural fear of jumping from an airplane that most humans share. But the fear of being in the boondocks ALONE with a bunch of White people you don't know. I don't think that this would be a problem unless you're the one that spotted. never pull low......unless you are
  22. SkydiverRick
    Don't get too close to the door or you'll get sucked out. never pull low......unless you are
  23. SkydiverRick
    If you go through a cloud you'll drown. never pull low......unless you are
  24. SkydiverRick
    They had more practice. never pull low......unless you are

    Let's face it, King George III is kind of dead now, and the Brits & French ain't coming back to invade anytime soon. I don't think that the Arabs got the memo though. never pull low......unless you are
