    who's the pilot?

    I have to go along with the photoshop prediction. There are some lines on the front that don't look right for that to be an actual paint job. ~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.

  7. Glad you had a great time!
  8. Nice design. I am a fan of blue/black designs.
  9. Yeah, I have no idea about tandem progression either... The DZ im learning at doesn't do it, so im just an aff'er. ~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
  10. Just to expand on that a little. What I was taught is that the COA is bassically a way for a) the JMs to give you signals to correct your position and b) It is a way for you to let your JMs know that you are altitude aware (at least somewhat.) Thats my extra $.02 ~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
  11. Glad that you had a great time. I have come to the realization that learning to skydive, is much like everything else, and you only get better with practice, and experience. I'm a L5 student now, and I tend to be hard on myself if i mess something up, but I try to not let it get me down. The goal is to have fun and learn how to fly your body. I have sat down more landings than I have stood so no big deal there Glad you had a good time, blue skies! ~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.

  12. Yah, just saw it. Great interview, glad that you got the chance to experience the freedom of skydiving, and share it with so many people :) ~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.

  14. 1:2:1 Hmm, the 1s on the ends account for my first standup landing (yay) and I did 2 jumps (L3 & L4) stupid clouds had us on the ground sunday. ~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.

  15. I am doing the student thing right now. All I can say is that I'm VERY happy that I have a nice huge (I think im using a 290) canopy for landings. I just had my first standup (on my L4 jump) and it takes quite a bit of coordination even with the large canopy to stand it up. Where im jumping, I'll be on student gear till I am getting proficient with that, then I will be on transition gear, which will be smaller and differnt material, but that won't happen for quite a bit. I wouldn't want to jump anything smaller than the huge student gear anyways... don't have enough experience.

  16. Hope everything turns out ok!! ~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
  17. I'm still comming to terms somewhat with what I'm doing, but every jump is all that much more awesome. I agree that, there is no excuse to sit around and let life pass you by. What do you have then, someday you'll be old, sitting on your couch wondering what the hell you did, and it will be nothin. Have to get out and enjoy life, live it, don't just sit by and let it go. Have fun, thats what counts in my mind. ~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.

  22. I had my Air on last night because it was so hot. Now I'm sitting here cold with the air off. Forget global warming, and ice age is coming! 60s in july is just wierd for me, even for in wisconsin. /shamelessly post whores (just noticed im not newbie anymore) ~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.

  23. The thought of clipping along under canopy and having an awesome bird like that come up to me and match flight is just so cool. I guess it would make me think more about skydiving and the beauty of flight. Goes back to the "if you could have one ability what would it be?" question. Which I would take flying hands down. ~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.
