  1. I am right there with you, I learned last week and I SUCK!!! After the 30 minuets it takes me my teach pulls it out, looks at it and says, "yeah, that would of opened." I think the first time I jump it I am going to pull at 10k
  2. Amen to that, I feel that way, I only have 16 jumps. I can't wait to start learning from all kinds of different people!! I hope you find what you're looking for!
  3. Did you buy it new? Many congrats!!!
  4. Is that the same kind of otter that SD Houston has? If so I am in love with that plane MMmMmM!!!
  5. ARG!!!! I was only able to jump on that Friday, working on the weekends SUCKS!!!! EDIT: Hey I think I met you on Thursday Levin. I was the dood with the shaved head taking the packing class with Tammy. I tried on your rig for a sec to if I remember correctly.
  6. Nice man, I am going to try that this weekend!! Watching that video got me pumped, I don't even think I am going to be able to sleep. Awesome job man, I can't wait till its my turn to try that!!
  7. LMAO!!!!! I don't know why but that bothers me also hahha
  8. Yeah, I am not going to go for it. Thank you for your advice skybytch!
  9. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3630598127&category=310 Good deal? Anything I should look out for, ect. Thx
  10. What are some good shops with used gear that I could check out online? Thx
  11. I have had to make a downwind landing with about 8mph conditions. I messed up my pattern and had no choice but to land. I was going semi fast and just slid across my butt.
  12. 1) I cant say I like it when I finish my skydiving for the day and I know its going to be a full week until I get to jump again. 2) I cant say I like it when I have to go to work on a perfect Sat and Sunday when I could be jumping. 3) I cant say I like it when all I can think about is jumping which is every minuet of every day. 4) I also cant say I like it when my future is uncertain, but such is life

    OoooOoOOo please show pic's!!!!
  14. When I do a floater exit I climb out of the door, look towards the prop and step out presenting my body to the relative wind. Not sure what a poised exit is but I think its like the AFF exit's. A dive is simply diving out of the plane

    I'm a newbie

    Oh man, you hit the nail right on the head with that quote!! My non-skydiving friends are pissed because I spend all of my days off out at the DZ. Also I am broke as a joke To top it all off I am 200% addicted Don't forget AIDS (Air Induced Divorce Syndrome) if you have a GF when you start you might not have her when you finish. I know from experience
  16. LMAO!!!! I just took the class last night. I dont really know how long its going to take me, its all pretty easy until I have to SHOVE it in the damn bag
  17. Yeah, rubber side down I landed about 2' off today, thats the closest I have gotten yet. Keep at it and you will land right on that shizzy!! I would like to but I can't sell my bike, I just can't, I love her!! I could get a rig with it though, no wait I can't....yes you can...NOOOOOOO!!!!!
  18. LOL!! Yeah! On my first couple of AFF's they would always ask me to explain the jump and all I could come up with was, "the exit was F'n awesome, freefall felt F'n bad ass and the canopy ride was pretty F'n awesome!" Later on I could say more but its hard to talk with a grin the size of mount Everest!
  19. lmao!!! Very true! I plan on wearing long johns and a ski mask Thats what I wear under my gear during the winter months on my bike, works well.
  20. I just watched another one about a lady who hit the cement. Looked like she didn't cut away her main before pulling her reserve. Or maybe the main didn't completely release. Either way she was under 2 balls of shit Earth is probably a little nicer then cement but not by much...
  21. lmao!! I didn't really get this until my 13 jump, when I saw all the random tandem's faces. They were terrified and it was most definitely priceless
  22. Unless they showed it in our AFF level 1 class I have not.
  23. What company are you going through?
