my whuffo wife is driving me nuts. It is bad when I have to sneak out of the house on my days off to go jump. I feel guilty sometimes, but usualy not... marc
-
good on ya froggie...need more skydivers like you around.

I agree with the above. they truly are great coaches and motivators. They constantly help even after I took jumps with them and recomend them to anyone... marc

My regards to the family... I sent an E-mail but am not expecting a return. why do these whuffo reporters have to be like that? I just dont get it. We had a guy come out after our fatality and this guy wouldnt leave us alone about the fact that we were jumping the very next day. he thought we must be nuts. I feel very sorry for these uneducated people. marc

good luck on AFF. I am taking Physics right now, and am constantly thinking of skydiving and its application to physics...marc

Every report I read said the pilot bailed at 5-800 feet. and landed just feet away from the burning plane... as for if someones reserves opens in my fave, if it stays in I would go for the door(close it) or if it is going out I am kicking him in the ass!!!! marc
-
That is exactly what I like to toy around with. leaving the brakes stowed and just playing around with rear risers. as if you have two out and need to steer with rear risers and flare with them too. marc

The question is always how much managable risk are you willing to take. Skydiving in MHO is much safer with alot more manageable risk than say driving your car or riding a motorcycle. I see far more innocent people dead in cars than you would think. these are the ones that were in the wrong place at the wrong time. just my couple of pennys worth. marc

thanks for the info, I figured it was something like that. I think I am calling to change my order to add them. as aviatrr can attest I am more like a brick than a feather!!! marc

I was on a load to 15,500 never have seen people exit so quickly, we were all getting funny in the head there. I think we got the extra altitude cause we had a couple of naked females on board...but not sure. marc

Interesting thing is I didn't take an A license test. on the "new" A license aplication there is no where it says you get a test. there are supposed to be oral quizes given(skreamer get your mind out of the gutter) but other than that no test. and I even have the brand spanking new A license number to prove it A-38578!!!!!!!!!!! Have fun taking the test though... You might want to call uspa on this because the times they are a changing. marc

I was always taught if you havnt been able to touch to first handle(ie cant find the hackey,tough pull) then you go straight to the silver. no reason to cut away comething not there. further more I would think if you cut it away and the main is in the container when it does open up it will go up and into your freshly deploying reserve. I would rather deal with two canopys out than a main-reserve entanglement. just my thoughts, marc

Michele- Andrea, Mike, and I get to jump all year round too. so there. :) Andrea- I dont remember seeing ya, but then again wasnt really looking. I was the guy who dropped like a rock(right mike?) but definately would be interested in the 4-way!!! Mike- yeah DeLand was OK. No complaints here. The view wasnt as nice but any skydive is better than no skydive. and cant complain about the 20 minute drive compared to sebastian. Yes, I understand why you were getting ready at 8K now. by the way had fun last weekend even if ya couldn't keep up!!! marc
-
Andrea, I was there too today(Deland) got two jumps in early. on the 2 and 3 loads of the day. sorry I missed ya. Marc
