  1. Jumptown only shut down in January last year. My frirst Jump there was 12/04/04.
  2. _:11:1 took scott's class and tried front risers before landing for the first time. (Jen, you were missed)
  3. I'd probably pick up 30 mins or so.
  4. I don't own a wings and I don't know much. One thing I don't like about wings (and Icons) is the size of the grommets on the dbag. Why are they so small? Good luck with whatever you choose.
  5. I jump a sabre2-150. I have had 1 hard opening... on my first pack jobs. It was packing error. My openings are pretty sweet +99% of the time.
  6. my fortune cookie yesterday, word for word "She who attempts the absurd achieves the impossible"
  7. If your partner is a bed wetter, you may want to reconsider your future with them.
  8. I own a Sabre2-150 with 120 jumps on it. The canopy was purchased used with 40 jumps on it. I had an off DZ landing, where I landed next to a tree. My canopy caught the tree and incurred damaged. The canopy is at PD for repair. The work includes a reline. Reline: (Right side A/B lines are longer than the left side and the lines are showing stress) The right side was 1 1/2" longer than the left. How could the lines get out of trim so fast? Is it from the landing? (I landed, feet on the ground. The lines were slack)
  9. :14:0 Maybe I do owe beer. I jumped an seasoned Sabre1-150 with a new line set this weekend. My rigger kindly has let me borrow it. WOW. I really liked that canopy .. except for the opening part. It also made me realize that my positive openings on my Sabre2 are not so rough bad.
  10. I know this has little to do with your question, but I just wanted people to know how happy PD made me. I ordered a blue PDR143 on Feb/3/2005 and had it on Feb/4/2005. (49 days later I got to use it
  11. I am a small low time jumper. I cannot see my handles. When I practice EPs I do not look at the handles. I do practice like my life depends on it. When I have had to perform my EPs, I have not looked either. I had no trouble locating them. Along these lines, I don’t put anything in the pocket of my tony suit, even though the nylon of my suit does not feel like my cut away handle. The pocket is at the same level as my cut away handle. Is it more important that they can see them or locate them?
  12. Is one of those bottles to celebrate your first naked tandem? Hope Nic knows which handle is which?
  13. NO WAY! NO WAY. poop. No chance of doing Jumptown the weekend after? I think there will be a CASA ...
  14. I'M going! again. It will be much better then the first time I went, back in 1991ish. The "I AM SO HAPPY TO BE AN AMERICAN" vacation with mom and dad. I think Williamsburg Virginia maybe the most boring place on earth.
  15. While I think this is the best Idea and I love hanging with the cool kids, my friend does not jump. Well, I got him to do 1 tandem and gave him my copy of JUMP! I would SO LOVE to take a road trip down the east coast hitting EVER DZ. The summer is not over yet …….. I try not to badger people into skydiving, but, I am sure by the time I fly home he will never want to hear words such as skydive, jump, or canopy again. I have made a compromise. On Saturday, I plan to hit Zhill and the tunnel. On Tuesday and Wednesday, I am renting a car and heading to DeLand.
