    Heres one more thing that I like to say to people in your shoes... remember this... you have the rest of your life to skydive....why rush it... you could jump that 190 for 2 years and then move on, I am not saying that I dont have a hella lotof fun on my tiny napkins...but you know what I wish I had stayed at my 179 saffire for a few more years.... it woudl have saved me a lot of money and a lot of aches and pains...and in the end I would remain a skydiver longer... I heard recently someone say that people used to pound themselves out of the sport on the old rounds...people now pound themselves out of the sport on sporty canopies instead....

    I tend to drive forward in short distances by just extending my legs and giving a thrust with my hips like I am nailing my ol lady... if long distances or sit flocking I tend to lay out on my back more...with my hands by my side kind link a reverse track autmonauti....

    cause some of us dont want to sacrifice openings for the performance and would prefer something in the middle that would be why, that being said my FX opens on heading every time...but I need to head up and test the 104 Neos when it gets a bit nicer out Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

    You should try to do better on your next jump. If you planed out high on this one, then just accept that you planed out high on this one, and land straight in. man I wish I could get away again before sring...

    It doesn't have to do with patience, it has to do with returning a call when I have left several messages. ahhhhhhh did someone forget the skydiver clause of dealing with skydiving businesses... (btw that is a joke not to be taken seriously for I understand that you are upset now as you have not gotten your awesome new slider to play with, I was pretty wet about getting my slider and harassed MEL and got my slider with the cloth rings...and wish I had waited) Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

    dharma1976 replied to caspar's topic in Freeflying

    dude I stretch all the time.... so much so that it has become a joke about how I will be talking to you one second and then stretchign and talking to you the next The more limber you are the less injuries you will be prone to Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

    I think what has happened a lot is that peoples peers are taking an interest in their fellows... I have grabbed a few guys and talked with them not at them, it seems to help somewhat...some have even thanked me for it. the other aspect is to give people things that they need to work on like pattern work when they need it... I myself have a huge problem with right hand turns in left hand patterns and left hand turns in right hand patterns... I hate them with such a passion that I do a right hand pattern to left hand turn instead of turning blind back into the pattern Cheers Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

    I tend to fly my pattern in brakes and then usually towards the end not as much but then tap the breaks and reach up and while reaching up start the harness turn... now heres the fun part I start my 270 at 500 feetish at zephyrhills I start my 270 at like 600-650 at the ranch and yeah its the wider turn tightening up towards the bottom... I do notice that if I come from more of a full flight state that my turn is quicker and definately takes less altitude...
