  1. Casquito, that's what I am talking about. Skydivers are always making it a point to let you know how they are right and someone else is wrong.
  2. Please add word and explanation.... i.e. snivel = yada yada yada PcCoder.net
  3. It'll be this Saturday, looking for suggestions. PcCoder.net
  4. yes, i never bought anything from them PcCoder.net
  5. I knew it would only take one comment about the typical age of a skydiver to get an enormous amount of responses that counter it. I find that skydivers, more than anyone else I have encountered in my life, love to raise an exception to whatever you say. PcCoder.net
  6. 31 years at the time I did my first tandem, then was through AFF at 32. I think because it is an expensive sport you'll find a lot of jumpers in their 30's and up. PcCoder.net
  7. Don't use the drugs you use on your patients. Seriously, best thing is to practice your turns with the instructor holding onto you before he decides to turn you loose if you are that unable to stop your turns. PcCoder.net
  8. Not really. Just going to get together with whoever is there this weekend and probably do a large group round, something not too strenuous. Then....dodge the pie all day long. PcCoder.net
  9. For some reason I seem to think I remember having a bit of trouble with this on my very first tandem. I think I was perhaps worked up and thought it may be a problem which psychologically prepared me to have trouble breathing. I haven't had any problems since. PcCoder.net
  10. Well, this is certainly inspiring. I pick up my brand new gear this weekend with a new zero-p main and I have never packed my own rig. I took a packing class way back when I got my license, but have never packed anything I have jumped. And....my plan has been to start packing for myself. So, are you telling me I will be spending 66% of my time at the DZ packing?? Nice... can't wait. PcCoder.net
  11. Ive been waiting on my Javelin for over 5 months. It finally arrived Friday and I'll get to jump it this weekend. It's about f**king time. PcCoder.net
  12. Thanks, I downloaded this, this morning and it isn't terrible and could certainly be improved, but hey it's not half bad, especially considering there is nothing else. PcCoder.net
  13. I think what you are feeling is that liberation, doing something which makes you feel like nothing else ever has. Probably because most of us don't do anything else in our lives which has such a lasting effect (being dead if we screw up). PcCoder.net
  14. Anyone know of anything for the computer? I was thinking for those people who own Microsoft Flight Simulator (which allows for aircraft add-ins) that a canopy could be developed as an add-in. This would be not only helpful but really cool, and of course if you own Flight Sim already, it would be free.
  15. I've never gone any time without health coverage during my entire adult life, with the small exception of just after college prior to finding a job. PcCoder.net
  16. Thank you all for your advice. It is greatly appreciated. I look forward to my next trip to the DZ where I can practice all these new tips. Thanks again. PcCoder.net
  17. ok, well you all have fun PcCoder.net
  18. No, I don't have a Pro Track but plan to purchase one soon. The working out thing might not work either. I eat alot of food which should cause a normal person to gain weight (lots of carbs). I do work out, not at a gym (at home) but still work out enough to stay in shape. I am tone, just real thin, always have been. I think the tight jumpsuit might be very helpful. I mostly do a lot of freeflying, so I can certainly count on falling slower than RW folks in my freefly suit. I have tried using the dropzones RW suits, but they of course are not designed to fit me perfectly. Must get one of these soon too. Any suggestions for RW suit? I want a nice one, and don't want to wait for months to get it. PcCoder.net
  19. I always have trouble staying down with the group on an RW jump. I have to arch like hell just to stay with them. Also, I am not very flexible and have always tended to have my legs closer together than most jumpers who have them spread out more. I really don't want to wear additional weight to speed up, i just wish I would fall faster (or they would fall slower) I am 5'11 and weigh only 160, so what do I do? I guess I could start eating more PcCoder.net
  20. Are all the people in these clips still alive?? Talk about pushing the limits. Sorry, fun to watch but not for me. PcCoder.net
  21. Nope, never saw it but what like to see that one. IT's good adversiting for getting people to do tandems. PcCoder.net
  22. welcome to the club i am happy for you. PcCoder.net
  23. Are you possibly epileptic? Have you ever been diagnosed with having had a seizure. Seizures do not have to be grand mal body shaking seizures. They can last only a matter of seconds and when they do you may not even know that it happened. It's more like a loss of time than anything else. PcCoder.net
