zhills is nice in florida. i went there for spring break (10 days) and got 31 jumps in. weather was only bad for 1 day. really cool dz too. .-.

so who all is camping out there? im camping from thuesday night through tuesday morning. .-.

I had a malfunction (tension knot) that was only discovered after releasing the breaks. My practice is to still grab the rear risers right after opening, but does anyone disagree with doing that? .-.

So I am still looking for an answer as far as whether or not any experienced jumpers here feel that it would make sense to leave the belt on a little after 1,000 feet. Being that its easier to take off the belt quickly than it is to put it back on? .-.

better 2 days late than never! happy birthday jerm. thanks for the jumps in march .-.

Thats the thing. Its a cashiers check, which someone already said are as good as cash. Normally, you can only get a cashiers check directly from a bank, hence, its certified. Unless of course its fake. .-.

I dont think anyone was saying to depend on the Cypres. We were more concerned with the Cypres firing in the event you went out on your main. .-.

Is there a bar on the dz? And if not, how far is the local package store? I may need to bring some goodies of my own .-.

Im pretty sure its 1000' that it arms itself at at 750' that it fires. .-.

it could have also been an unfriendly gesture to go out and buy your own mower because the grass is getting long! haha, just kidding. bbq sounds fun, i like my steaks well done. .-.

That is most certainly NOT the case. You should refuse to take off in a plane that doesn't have seatbelts. I know I would... _Am was thinking the same thing...especially with a cessna.. .-.

No problem

oooh im getting excited now well see if sgc can beat the rw fun i had at zhills over spring break. 3point 18-way, i think that was the best jump. either way, im sure it will be a good time. rumor has it you are getting a keg Eric .-.

I agree you would have time to put your seatbelt back on, but don't you think it would be easier to leave it on a little longer and take it off if neccessary (only requires a quick flick of the finger) as opposed to having to find both straps and clicking it back in? Especially if for some reason the plane began losing altitude fast...? .-.

Thats good to know. I think the part Im most concerned with is the plane losing altitude fast. If thats not the case, I guess that takes care of the problems I was thining about. Thanks. .-.

So I've been to around 10 different dropzones since I began skydiving a year ago. I think that the general consensus is that seatbelts come off somewhere between 1000 and 2000 feet (sorry if I left your DZ's altitude out). Anyways, my question is this. Are you really ready to exit an aircraft that is going down at 1000 feet? What if there are 10 jumpers in front of you? How about 20 jumpers? What altitude does that put the plane at when you are going to exit? When I visit dropzones where jumpers are taking seatbelts off at 1000 feet I feel as though thats an issue for me. I know I wouldnt prepare to jump out if I hear the plane is going down at 1000ft. If I was sitting right by the door its a different story. The plane crash stories that I have heard about in which people lived were ones in which the jumpers had their seatbelts on. Those same incidents are the ones that you hear people getting injured in because they didn't have their seatbelt on. What are some more experienced jumper's thoughts on this? .-.

Selective Hearing. I think we all have it. .-.

ok so where are all the rw flyers that are gonna be there? oh please tell me there are some! .-.

whyyy yes. yes i did .-.

Enjoy that tense/nervous feeling. It will be gone before you know it. .-.

I haven't booked my flight yet, but I wanted to see if anyone would be able to give me a ride from SGC to the airport in Dayton on Tuesday Jun 1. The flight I am looking at is 7am. If you think you might be able to help me out, please let me know. Thanks a lot. .-.

whoohoo! daizey is getting a rig

whoohoo. and its going to be good weather too

not sure what your reasoning for asking is, but i have a Javelin container built for a 150 and ive got a 170 in it...i know of others who do the same thing. .-.
