    Hey, come to Oregon! ESD..... Umm, like 2 of us freefly I'm a coach I could organize We have 3 182's! The people are weird but the vibes are more weird. But hey, I like it here! Oh...AND you could crash in MY car!

    I guess maybe that came off wrong. I have no problem with bigger students and I don't think they're always a problem. I'm more wondering about the sink factor on opening. Is the old harness better, new harness, or simply the way you put either one on. I could care less if the person weighed 300 lbs and it was all in their ass. I'm assuming it's just the way you put their harness on, but wanted other peoples opinion. Not a "miss piggy's are bad" post.

    Hey, was wondering what those of you think about the different STRONG harness's. I only have about 125 tandems. 120 of those w/ the new harness and about 5 with the old. The times I've used the old harness I got really bad bruises on my legs, I didn't really feel like I could get the side connectors as tight as I wanted them and the students couldn't pick their feet up as well on landings. I've been super happy with the new harness's until today when I had a miss piggy shaped student that sunk a ton on me on opening. Which was weird cuz I've taken piggy's before and it's been fine. Just wondering what everyone else's experience has been.

    I've only jumped SET's and Icarus's. I like the Icarus 365 when I have a normal or small Tandem Passenger and the SET 400 when I have a large Tandem Passenger. But that's just what we have.

    Here's some from this weekend. My first time at shooting stills. Didn't really plan it, just threw my camera on a friends helmet and took off. Some turned out alright though... ...More to come soon!

    He's never landed downwind or crosswind, probably not even in no wind. He doesn't even really understand what a wingloading is and why smaller mains are more dangerous. He's mostly jumped in heavy winds. Actually, the last jumps I saw him land were on a Sabre 190 in very very light wind and he ate shit twice, then had a cutaway on it. He's probably about 24 years old. All he see's is Stu and Gile and Renfro swoopin, and wants to do it too.

    OK...maybe I'm wrong, but there's a kid at my DZ jumping a 135. He went from a 190 to that today. I told him he shouldn't, but he said it was fun and his landing was fine on the last jump. There was gusting winds so I told him that helped out ALOT. Anywho, I don't know what to say to him to get him to stop jumping it. Any ideas? Just this last week he had a cutaway from a 190 from normal line twists. Hope he has fun with that thing when it spins up, it's not gonna keep flying straight.
  14. Kimblair13
    Yeah he weighs at least 165, plus 25 lbs of gear. It's a Sabre....so hopefully it'll just wack the shit out of him to where he won't want to jump it anymore.

    Yeah...an Impulse 120 would be great for you!!!...They are very similar to cobalts, which are somewhat similar to crossfires!

    Hey, how do you go slower? I can't figure how to get slow and be comfortable. I can go slow but feel like I'm gonna pull as muscle.
  18. Kimblair13
    Sadly, I will not be there. Sorry people.

    I've packed a shit ton and now do tandems too. Most tandems I've ever done in a day is 10, but it's still way easier than packing.

    Tsunami warning is here in Oregon and in Washington too.
  22. Kimblair13
    Yeah I'm bored. Anyone here jump at skydive Oregon that knows how much jumping goes on there during the week? thinking 'bout coming up.
  23. Kimblair13
    Haha...I don't know...I didn't dream what you had, just that you had one. You here about Brad havin' a premature off 15B? Was about to do a AFF jump from 12K!
  24. Kimblair13
    Yes, we're a small cessna DZ. People pull high all the time. For some that's most of what they do.
  25. Kimblair13
    A jumper at the DZ has a cutaway harness. Just for fun and to "practice" I guess. Mostly for fun I think. You have an additional harness under yours and 3rd canopy you pack (into a brown bag) and just jump out with it in yer hands then let go.
