Fast

I can't say what the norm is, but for me, my first trip to another DZ was around 60 jumps, and over half the people there were from my DZ, so it made things quite a bit easier on me because I already knew so many people. From my expereiences, I find that you have to be comfortable with your own ability to safely jump and not need the kind of attention that you might normally get at your home DZ. Landing areas are different, your not used to how people at the new DZ set up patterns, the landscape differences can affect judgment of altitude, and a whole plethora of stuff that the more expereienced guys can explain to you. I asked this question a while ago and got an answer along the lines of, the less DZs that you go to early on the easier it is for you to learn and progress. When you goto a new DZ as a student (Pre-A) you are with a new staff that does not know your capabilities. You don't have an A so that means there is no proof that you know what your doing. You may have to repeat jumps, aff levels, all a posibility. Some DZs have sheets that they keep on the students so that instructors and coaches can know exactly how your doing, and often you don't know they are even having them. Sort of like a file so that if you end up with a differnent instructor they don't have to count on your logbook to know how your doing. I also have read stories of people who do AFF at differnt DZs and do just fine, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I am just a newbie in this sport so I speak from limited experience. ~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.

By far I have to say that my fav. plane to exit is the CASA. I think tailgate planes are awesome. Its a bit different than exiting out the side of the plane, but its so nice.

That is awesome... Amazing, and then some! ~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me. Swooping is taking one last poke at the bear before escaping it's cave - davelepka

Following what has already been said, My understanding of it was based on yin yang, balance, neutralization, etc. Neo's and Smith's power both grew equally, because they were opposites. You have to think of it in terms of how it was explained at the end of the second movie. They balance an equation. Smith personified Death, Neo Personified Life. When smith tried to assimilate Neo, they bassicaly both became zero, like a neutralization of two chemical agents, and then there is nothing, and smith can no longer take over the matrix because his code was neutralized. ~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.
