An upward flap is not really the answer. (although I agree it can and does help in many cases) Infinity for example seems to have no problems with main flaps opening. DJ Marvin AFF I/E, Coach/E, USPA/UPT Tandem I/E http://www.theratingscenter.com

So did they have any info on when they will be releasing a canopy with the z bracing technology? DJ Marvin AFF I/E, Coach/E, USPA/UPT Tandem I/E http://www.theratingscenter.com

HOLY CRAP - that's like saying he's a 'Charlie Manson' as opposed to a 'Michael Jackson'.... ....geeez - I guess we'll all have to keep a closer eye on all of our "young" jumpers....just to be sure they're safe!!!

FYI "thebob" is Skydive Greensburg's DZO and the guy putting on this event. He is not just some random pervert telling you to look for him. He is a DZO pervert asking you to look for him. DJ Marvin AFF I/E, Coach/E, USPA/UPT Tandem I/E http://www.theratingscenter.com

This list is not a comprehensive list either. There are quite a few from Skydive Greensburg who are not on the list, and we have had several groups respond as well. I am very anxious to see what turns out after all the response we have had. DJ Marvin AFF I/E, Coach/E, USPA/UPT Tandem I/E http://www.theratingscenter.com

I have never been asked to see my ratings. However I would have no problem showing someone. The back of the Sigma harness does even tell a student to ask to see our ratings.

Thanks Chuck. I was trying to get more info from a couple people who would be there about having suits. Do you know about what she will have there? Any info you can give me would be great. DJ Marvin AFF I/E, Coach/E, USPA/UPT Tandem I/E http://www.theratingscenter.com

I have not jumped a FTP so I can not speak from experience. Both my other helmets were DaBombs. But i do not feel it is cumbersome in anyway and I have top mounted my video and still camera side by side. DJ Marvin AFF I/E, Coach/E, USPA/UPT Tandem I/E http://www.theratingscenter.com

There was an Instructor who took a VERY experienced skydiver on the other side and that instructor WAS an instructor.

01 was made by Ben Yonkers who did not make the video this year 02 and 03 were made by Vertical Axis Entertainment/ Alex O'Connor and some Moron. They did not make a video this year either BECAUSE we have a video coming spring 05. Watch for it. This will be our first release outside our own DZ videos. Mike thanks for the compliments.

That's exactly what I suggested but he did not like the idea That is the worst advice I have heard yet. The brace is there to protect him in the event of another trauma, no matter how small. What Amax said, I was kidding thats what the was for, sorry you misunderstood me DJ Marvin AFF I/E, Coach/E, USPA/UPT Tandem I/E http://www.theratingscenter.com

I would take him, but make him take off the brace! DJ Marvin AFF I/E, Coach/E, USPA/UPT Tandem I/E http://www.theratingscenter.com

Raddison holds 8 people in a 2 bedroom suite according to their site. There are a few people who are looking to share a room. You can check our forum. You may be able to find some people there. I know a few people have been taken care of that way. See ya on the beach :) DJ Marvin AFF I/E, Coach/E, USPA/UPT Tandem I/E http://www.theratingscenter.com

In early 2000 I watched about 8 Brits hit the tunnel before AFF (no real choice, bad weather) Each had about 15 minutes in the tunnel and all but 1 flew through AFF. Since then the DZ I work at had a tunnel for a few months. I worked with one gal from manifest in the tunnel for awhile. (not sure how much time she got in total, but my guess would be around 45 minutes) She did great through AFF afterwards. I also worked with about a dozne students in the tunnel (during their FJC) prior to their first jump and most of them stood out from the typical first jump student. Does it help? Not everybody, but yes. Does it hurt. I believe it doesn't in my limited experience of utilizing the tunnel as a training aid. Take this for what its worth and good luck with your AFF.

I was at the game :) Got the tickets because I am a Chargers fan in the middle of Indiana. I was just so happy to get the tickets (4 of them 7 rows off the field, my seat looked straight down the goal line) to see my team, and it turns out that its the game that Manning broke the record. AWESOME GAME too. It was a bittersweet game for me to be at. DJ Marvin AFF I/E, Coach/E, USPA/UPT Tandem I/E http://www.theratingscenter.com

My old Cam Eye II does turn the camera off, but not back on. It does start and stop record however. My new Cam Eye II works perfect with it. DJ Marvin AFF I/E, Coach/E, USPA/UPT Tandem I/E http://www.theratingscenter.com
