  1. i don't think you have to wear it after being licensed, but why wouldn't you want the added level of safety? PcCoder.net
  2. rub some dirt on it no really, you might have some other problem, like a sinus problem, or allergies? PcCoder.net
  3. Oh, you are SO right, it's fun to f**k with the tandems!! PcCoder.net
  4. yes most pain I have had in the tunnel is from sit-fly. You work so much harder in the tunnel than in the air ( I did at least ). And the fall rate control will make your lower back feel nice and painful next day. Regardless, the tunnel rocks. PcCoder.net
  5. consult with yoda the jedi master. seriously, 90 minutes over 3 days is going to hurt no matter what you do. have fun. PcCoder.net
  6. yea, Titusville, and sometimes I run down the runway waving my arms like a banchie!! PcCoder.net
  7. Yea, I hear ya. Now shut up and jump. PcCoder.net
  8. It's gotta be nerves. I had the same thing going for me on my first tandem, then I think I just started breathing fine after that. PcCoder.net
  9. Can you really have a first on getting your B license?? That implies that you'll have a second on getting your B license.
  10. Alrightttttty Then!! Sounds like I should stay away from Power Lines? Thanks for everyone's input. PcCoder.net
  11. thats probably because you are using student gear one size fits all = one size fits noone well PcCoder.net
  12. That second photo is pretty interesting; however has anyone mentioned that based on the position of the clouds (looks like the 4 jumpers are around 4 or 5k), would it be wise to be pulling this stunt? PcCoder.net
  13. yes, yes, show the picture, we are all about visuals PcCoder.net
  14. yea, and they'll never owe up to it PcCoder.net
  15. I had something to say about the pride thing too, but I really wasn't trying to cause a problem with the original post, just wanted to know how will I know when it is fixable or not? when is it worth trying to save -vs- cutting away on those "close calls, could go either way"?? PcCoder.net
  16. funny funny PcCoder.net
  17. OH MY GOD!!!!!! some people who live next to an airport are concerned about airplane noise? I would have never thought about that, that is amazing!!! that's like someone living next to a major highway complaining about the sound of automobiles!!! PcCoder.net
  18. ok, now that you are all down stroking each other... That additional 2% sale is really cool, I was already going to get the 20% from my rigger AND plan to take the course, so I will probably be making me way down to Sebastian. PcCoder.net
  19. It's because they are not human. PcCoder.net
  20. That was a good read. I had actually done some tunnel time in Orlando before ever starting solo skydiving. Since then I have done 65 jumps, but I have done about 90 minutes in the tunnel. I really attribute a great deal of why/how I have been able to pick up so quickly on alot of things in the air to the time I have spent in the tunnel. It's wonderful, I only wish that it was cheaper and more accessible for everyone. To those who are nervous about going. Don't be. You'll be suprised to find out how you back or front slide more than you think.. but you'll love the time in the tunnel and learn so much. If you're ever in Orlando and want to see some of the best, check out Joao Tambor, Fabian and Juliana Raidel, they are like fish in the ocean. PcCoder.net
  21. Do you mean "nervous" or "excited"? Because when alot of time goes by for me (4 weeks) between jumps I get very excited about going back, but I also get a little nervous too (until I get there and go up in the plane). I think it's good that I get a little nervous too, it reminds me that this is dangerous and that I should take care about being careful and not forgetting to jump smart. PcCoder.net

    AFF no more.

    Congratulations, welcome aboard. Have fun, be safe. Don't get cocky. PcCoder.net
  23. In response to not cutting away out of pride... I only have 65 jumps and started little over a year ago. Therefore, I have seen very little in the department of canopy problems so far. Last weekend I had the longest snivel I have ever seen on my canopy and was for the first time really considering the fact that my slider may never come down. So...the thought of cutaway did enter my mind for the first time in 65 jumps. It would have been a waste, I only lost another 100 or 200 feet probably because of it. I guess with experience I will be able to learn better when would be the time to cutaway and when would not. It's just that the statement about not "trying to fix a problem" could save your life should be prefaced with "knowing when it is fixable"?? Because, in my little experience I don't really know that well. I only know what photos I saw in AFF and stories I hear or read about. Oh well, just curious. PcCoder.net
  24. Me too, I am always throwing at 4k PcCoder.net
