  1. Don't worry to much. Good Advice has already been given. Talk to your instructor. There will be visual references at your DZ that arn't at other DZ.s I know what everything in my field of vision looks like at 5-4-3-2-1500. When I jump at 4k I can track my ass off and pull out and look at my alti right at 2500 almost everytime by visual reference. It took quite a few jumps to get this down and sometimes when I haven't jumped in a month I am off by 500-800ft. When I was down in Eloy last year I kept coming out of my track 1k higher then normal as it took me a few jumps to get a feel of the visual references as eloy is FLAT! I got ground rush at 3k in Eloy that felt like sub 2K in Ogden. After you get more jumps under you belt make a few low alti jumps and just look alti-ground-alti-ground-alti ground your field of vision will close and you will begun to have a frame of reference burned into your brain. Again though talk to your instructor.. MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY.

  5. If you didn't "enjoy" that twinge of fear you get from jumping out of an airplane then your mind isn't going to be "OK" with that danger and your going to be worried about that danger and your not going to respect that danger and at some point that danger is going to come up and scare the shit out of you and your not going to be prepared for it.. My Opinion...If the danger of jumping out of an airplane scares you and you don't enjoy it there is always bowling.....My Opinion MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

  6. Hmmm south africa huh? My Daughter wants to jump really really bad... so 6 is ok there? I wonder if my ex would let me take her out of the country... Yes I am joking
  7. Ummm read the Print in bold.Think this proves the opposite of what you was saying If skydiving was safe they wouldn't be IN THE TUNNEL but out in the Sky with the rest of us crazy fuckers MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

  8. Lets not be politically correct just for the sake of being politically correct. Read that statement and look back over history. Why did people start jumping?Why did you make your first jump? People on this board want to be warm and fuzzy and all that baloney. We commit suicide on a regular basis and get to live to talk about it. Why do people like roller coasters or fast cars rock climb etc.. because it ISN'T SAFE. If it was safe everyone would do it. You can't sugar coat the fact that we are jumping out of airplanes, go ahead try to convince yourself that the danger isn't part of why you jump. If it isn't then I am scared of you. If some part of you doesn't enjoy the danger then how can you have respect for it? Just who are you talking to there? Cuz that made me LAUGH. Skydiving isn't for everyone thats why theres bowling.

  15. $6 to get on the plane and $1 per 1K Alti. Skydive Ogden has a Tanker and buys the Fuel when prices are at the lowest (From what I understand) If a DZ does this and raises the Prices in the middle of the Season when they have already paid for the fuel then in my opinion it is just price gouging. But I have no Idea what other DZ's Do. I am just grateful I jump where I do :) MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

  17. Stand up your Landings Sorry couldn't resist. I did the same thing early on. I had to sit on my side of my ass then the other all day at work it hurt so bad. People kept telling me to get a DONUT that pregnant women sit on. I was to proud for that! It takes awhile to get better but don't let that keep you from Jumping. It gave me all the incentive in the world to stand my landings up! MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY.

  18. That Scares me. Half way through your A and your only jumping so you can jump a wingsuit? I would suggest bowling MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY. Everything we do should have a greater purpose.

  20. Flying Backwards SUCKS! I was slammed and dragged once, that was enough for me. A friend with a TON of jumps stayed on the ground and told me it is better to be on the ground wishing you was in the air then in the air wishing you was on the ground. I laughed at that until i was under canopy and started flying backwards and wished I was any place other then under canopy. (I had about the same number of jumps as you have listed) I don't really want to give a "suggestion" as I don't know you or your wing loading etc etc but if you are thinking aobut whether you should or shouldn't get on a load it is usually a good idea to NOT get on the load MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.
