I am going to the one in Florida, I am confident about my belly stability but I don't do a lot of back flying I will make it a point to practice that before I go out there!
-
Hmmmm good question. I am going out to the tunnel in January and I didn't think about that. If it is harder to do these maneuvers in the tunnel would that make it easier to do them in the air once you get back?

During my AFF all the way through about 4 or 5 I thought I was bleeding on my inner thigh. I would have to go check to make sure I didn't have a gash because it felt like I did. I have gotten used to it since but I still get bruises sometimes, not even close to as bad as it was at first though. I can spiral now but when I started I thought the straps were going to cut my legs off. Suggestion wise you would have to ask some of the other guys or gals on here, I was just saying I know EXACTLY how you feel

Some of us have to learn the hard way, I did. I let Jose drive my car (José Cuervo) and I was looking at my cell phone ring as I slammed into the curb taking out a chunk of tire and rim.... I learned the hard was and I have not done it since, so yes, learn from others mistakes!!

Wurd, thx to all!

The count down on the Cypres 2 is different then on the Cypres 1. On the 1st one you just make sure it stops before 6 I think it is (its been awhile since I used that one) I thought I knew what I was looking at but it was recently brought to my attention that I might be reading it wrong. What am I supposed to be looking for when I turn it on (Cypres 2)? Is it supposed to stop at a certain number?

My favorite Peter Jackson movie (other then LOTR) has to be "Meet the Feebles" Its a movie about drug crazy/sex crazed puppets! Very awesome!! Uh...best B-movie is ummmm...... Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Dead Alive/Brain Dead is another good one, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians was just recently brought to my attention and I loved it. ROBOT JOX is probably one of my all time favorites!!!! I can't think of the rest, I am a bad movie fanatic but I always brain fart when I get asked questions like these...
-
I tend to feel embarrassed for everyone who is doing it! It makes me wish I had a hand the size of a gray hound bus so I could pimp slap the entire audience, very annoying!!!
-
I will from now on put something extra to hold the strap in place. I guess I had to learn this one the REAL hard way
-
Yep, that damn thing was slick! It wouldn't hold in place if I paid it... Now I have to pay for it
-
lol, funny thing is I know it fell off about the tree line next to the golf course. I was actually waiting around to make sure an ambulance didn't show up, that would of sucked allot.

Not a huge deal but mine flew off at 4,000ft I noticed that the strap would continue to loosen after each time I jumped. I would have to re-fit it on the ground for the next jump. I had planned on stapling it down but I thought that one jump to late. If you have one be sure to lock it down some how. I was in a sit for most of my dive and I guess it started to loosen a bit. When I went to my belly to pull it flew right off.... I tried to see where it went but I wanted to make sure my canopy was ok, once I was assured my canopy was fine I looked down but it was to late, long gone................ Just a little warning to make sure to keep yours tight! Good thing I didn't have a freggin protrak in it!!!!!!
-
He showed that video to me right off student status, very scary but it shows that you should not give up!!
-

The pilot of that aircraft said it was the first time ANYONE had ever jumped from that type copter, ever! Thats a BUNCH of beer!
-
When that one broke down they brought out a much bigger one. I think they called it an "aero star" or a "twin star" they said its the copter the cost guard uses, oil companies also use them for flying from rig to rig transporting ppl. They said its a brand new 8 million dollar aircraft and it holds 12ppl. It looked like a freggin limo! I didn't get to jump it because of my license but man it was HUGE!!!!!! They said it was the first time that model copter had ever been jumped in the U.S!! BEER!!!! EDIT: I cant seem to find a pic of it... The rotor was closed in though I remember that. Its huge, damnit I cant remember the name of it.

C0nGratz to ya!!!!!!!!!!! mMMMM Beer.......

Skydiving after wisdom teeth extraction
ifics replied to vt1977's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I just did that 2 months ago! I had all 4 removed (out of the side to ) I rested and missed one weekend. After that I asked my dentist if its ok and he said give it a shot I jumped 1 week after and it was no biggy... Just make sure the pain meds have worn off first -
I think I know ya mang, maybe. If you are who I think you are I took a video of you're exit out of SDH's 182. I was on student status and I brought a small camera with me.

I only want Kazaa Lite for movies/clips ect... Only bad part is I can't find a good version of it anymore. I don't trust some of the sites these days. If someone wants to send me the file though, that would be cool. Hint...cough..hint...hint

I bought a freefly suit, but plan on doing both RW and freefly (crew later). Its all fun as long as you're flinging yourself from a plane and falling through the air!! I do know though that my heart is in Freefly, I can't explain it but I "know" I don't want to go full on RW. My mind and heart are in freefly and my goal is that. I don't want to lose belly skills though, I want to be good at that also.
