    Hey all!! Just wanted to let you know that I sent in my A license app today after doing one jump on Friday and four today. It was AWESOME!!! I got signed off for packing (packed it, jumped it, it worked...). Then, I took my written test, got a 90% and then sent that badboy in. I have 21 jumps now and have 5 or 6 days at the Richmond Boogie to jump. Soooooo.....I can jump with anyone now who comes and visits and get in on some dz.com jumps!! We'll organize something. Just thought I would let you all know that and I'll give more details later!!

    Wouldn't once cause for this be the bustle in the plane?? I can see that pulling it 1/2 way out and then more so going headdown? This would be easily noticed on BOC, but no really on pud. Just my opinion... -------------- Drop on in...leave a message

    Thank you very much for all the useful info, Riggerman!! I think that we'll be in the market for BOC after reading that. I just didn't know what would be best, but now I think that 90% has to stand for something. Thanks again!!

    Thanks for the info Lisa! Laura and I have used rip-cord and BOC more recently. I really like the BOC, but have heard some bad about that pullout. Such as, if you dont get your handle in the bottom of the container right or it gets tucked inside, you are going silver very soon. We'll probably end up getting the BOC since it is more widely used and such. Thanks!! -------------- Drop on in...leave a message

    What do you have?? Just curious. We are planning on buying new gear so that it fits us correctly and so we can get what we want. This stuff should last us awhile (maybe replace the main) so it is a good idea in my mind. It all depends on the $$$ situation, I guess. -------------- Drop on in...leave a message

    No, you just want to see that picture without the hands. So, whatever floats your boat!! We certainly won't reject some help with this!!

    Yeah, I know. I just feel the need to cover my ass. I assumed someone would get mad at me for you. Hey, it's happened before!! Yo Clay....maybe you can bring them to Richmond next week. You're coming right?? And if so, what day you guys planning on being there...I'll be lookin for ya. We can do some fun jumps with em, eh?? -------------- Drop on in...leave a message

    Hey all....some of you may know that Laura and I are going to be ordering some gear within the next week or so, and I am wondering something. What deployment method do you recommend for us?? I have heard good about BOC and pull-out. I like the BOC since it is easy to pack and you can make sure you get your PC into the wind. However, the pull-out is very secure to not get premature deployments. (Am I right??) Anyway please let me know what you all think we should get based on our low-time jumps and what you find is best. Thanks! -------------- Drop on in...leave a message

    Sounds like a downwind landing to me. Anyone whose done it...is that pretty much what happens?? You stop once the friction of your body on ground equals and surpasses that of the force of pull of the canopy?? OUCH!!! -------------- Drop on in...leave a message

    I am still in college, but right now I am student teaching at a school. Really just observing, but I post all day on here while she teaches. Pretty nice, really. But I have to do this, so hey. Sounds pretty awesome on the coach job though! You'll have to post some pics if Kris claims the price...also get the canopy. hehehe
