Since I'm the guest- of honor, I'd better get a cut. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

I'll consider that an invite.

That guy doesn't count. For one, his canopy was at line-stretch when he hit. For another, he didn't exactly walk away. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Very well said, Lisa. As for me, with just 400+ jumps, I'm to the point now where if I'm not doing about 120 a year I don't even feel current. I'm going to try to hammer out about 200-250 this year though. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

1 yard mowed:0:0 The DZ is only running a 172 right now, and I'm a broke bastige for a couple of weeks. So I did all the fun stuff like mow the yard, do laundry, and cleaned up part of the house. I did manage to break away and get some Thai with some friends last night. Yeah, I'm a wildman. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Looks like just a rapid slowdown, coupled with camera angle, as he flattens-out to go into his track. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Slowly and gently? You've never seen a sub-50' canopy land in real life yet, have you? Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

You can have my x86 processor when you can pry it from my cold, dead hands. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

We've got a great 10-mile loop around Lake Hefner here in OKC. Also located next to the lake is an amazing 4-mile mountain bike run that's broken up into 4 different types of terrain, along with several different firetrails in the surrounding forest.

But that's the point of a hybrid. Two or more bellyflyers with freeflyers hanging to increase the speed to at or near freefly speed (~165). If you get a suit that slows you down considerably, you can still collapse the wings and arch to bring your speed up, then use them to slow you down for tracking and opening. The other important fact here is tracking. At the speeds you're doing, I can't see how you're getting a good lengthy track away from formations. Your gear wasn't meant to keep taking the kind of opening shock you're probably giving it, Brick. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Did someone say Sushi? I happen to know a great little place in Champaign, just up the road from Wal-Mart. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Why would you want a belly speed of 165? And here I thought my un-suited belly speed of 145 was bad. As far as suits go, one of the best RW suits for anvils like us is a BevSuit. Do a search of some of AggieDave's posts about his. You're probably looking at a really baggy polycotton cut, with wings and afterburners.

Big congrats, Jack! Give TLML a huge hug from me.

Good point, Martini. I was taught to spot at a Cessna DZ, and I was also taught to spot not just for the exit point, but to scan for traffic as well. In 400+ jumps, I've only had to do a go-around once for traffic. But, as we all know, it only takes once for something to go horribly wrong.

I've never been pied yet (always managed to avoid it), but I'd let you pie me any day, hunny bunny. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

I was doing searches of websites related to skydiving about 5 years ago and found HH's Geocities page that led here. I mostly lurked the previous 2 incarnations of DZ.com and the rest is history.

He's also one of the guys that jumped from one plane and flew to another in freefall, climbed inside, and landed in it. It must be nice to be able to skydive without having to use a parachute. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Heh...if I had a dime for every time someone asked that one... That's Greg Gasson. Yes, there's a hidden harness. Yes, he's a rigger, and yes, there's video. It's on Joe Jennings' "Good Stuff" video.
-
I was wondering that as well... Misty, any reason why you got a PD-126R instead of a 143 or 160? Congrats on the gear, I just hope you're a *really* light girl.

I knew you'd be up to it, Macca. See this thread for details. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Yeehaw!! The "dress up and look somewhat respectablel" date.

Fuck you, Rev. We were busy configuring laptops while watching Constantine in 95" glory via the meeting room projector. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

The Spectre is a really nice canopy. If you want to pamper your "old bones" with some really incredibly soft openings on it, order it with Dacron lines.
