  1. so here in the US if you want to do a demo jump, you must be pro rated?? But must you be pro-rated to jump with smoke stick. Can you just go to the dropzone with a smoke stick and jump and thats that??
  2. stupid question but... pro-rated jumper??
  3. I would like information about smoke sticks. Are they OK to be used. Are there any rules on there use?? How to be used?? Where to get them?? How to adapt them to your leg. How not to get burned. thanks
  4. Seriously one of the best i've ever seen!!! http://starterupsteve.servepics.com:60000/swf/kozoFlash.html
  5. How can it be boring??? Ask around and you will see that many started skydiving because they saw it on a movie or in a commercial and imagined the feeling of flying threw the sky. I think it was ridiculous when they removed skydiving from the x-games. I would actually like to know if there is an intent to put it back in. Like the other guy said .... swooping is something cool for spectators to see live.
  6. I would actually say there is no better boogie then this one http://www.brazilboogie.com/. Dont take my word for it. GO. Maybe not this year. But consider to go atleast once.
  7. well that skydiving-outlet Deland you just mentioned simply is one of the most expensive that i've seen for PD canopies
  8. I downloaded the book on the USPA website so I can study for b and c license.
  9. I've been looking for used gear. Can anyone give me ideas of good websites to look for used canopies. Been looking for gear in the dropzone classifieds for about 2 months and nothing. thanks
  10. 1500 and below I go for the silver. Had a cypress fire once as I opened my main. Not the greatest day. Well come to think of it yes it was a good day.
  11. so true. Ask around at a particular month and let people tell you whats going on.
  12. ok thanks guys!! Just dont want to drive for nothing.
  13. Is there activity at Zhills on wednesdays and thursdays??? This is why I ask...... ..... i've been living in Orlando for about a year now. Never had the chance to go to Zhills beacause my work schedule is from 4:00pm to 12:30am and from friday to tuesday. Meaning my off days are wednesday and thursday. What I do is I go to deland on wednesdays and thursdays because no matter what day it is deland is always running. Sometimes I go sundays from 8:30 in the morning to 3 in the afternoon and run to work witch is relatively near deland. Zhills is far from my job 2 hours!! it would be complicated to have to leave at 2 tops and run to work on weekends. Not enough time, i dont know if it would be worth it.
  14. Ok. Been trying to get this right also. But I didn't explore this to much while I was trainig with Scott Miller last month. So he breifly explained how carving is a good way for you to escape from a low turn. So in one of the jumps we train up high of course doing a 180 front riser turn where after 90 degrees you let go front riser, flare and continue the remaining 90 degrees of the originally planned 180 using the toggles on a flat turn right after the flare. My question is, I dont think I should do a low turn to have train myself on this, right. So how to proceed to simply do it not because you need to but because you plan to. thanks
  15. here in orlando... kind of foggy in the morning and now its blue skies at 70 degrees. Perfect Winter
  16. Well... I would say its almost straight west?? Well that does not matter. Its to the left if you look at a map. By a GPS and you will get it right
  17. Since your planning to fly from one to the next... here is a nice program to follow. Deland fly to titusville, from there take the wingsuit from 22000 and fly to Sebastian now go south west directly to ZHILLS. Thats 4 great Dropzones.
