agreed, see your point. canopy checking on flight line sounds good but is it really going to be accepted? I'm sure this kind of thing has been dsicussed before... ------------------------------------------------- Woooaaaaaa!!! Woooaaaa!!! I'm gettin' off it!

I think you should be OK, although you may need to spend lots of time at the DZ. Which DZ are you doing AFF at? Also depends how close to the DZ you live. You dont want to be booking time off work when the weather is crap. As long as you get your AFF and consols done before the winter, i.e. October time you should be OK, IMHO. Weather tends to be on downward trend in the North from that time of year. ------------------------------------------------- Woooaaaaaa!!! Woooaaaa!!! I'm gettin' off it!

Is it? Ive never been asked what canopy is in my container. Maybe it should be. I disagree. You can learn to control your canopy without doing HP landings. I see myself as a safe canopy flyer and have spent lots of time learning to control it appropriately in all situations and have NEVER done or attempted a HP landing. ------------------------------------------------- Woooaaaaaa!!!

Should there be underage skydiving?
achowe replied to pacncathyjr's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I did not say to make their first skydive, but to understand the consequences of what could happen. I really dont see how a 14 year old (I know I couldnt at that age) can decide whether or not their life is worth putting at risk. And skydiving is going to put your life at risk, no qualms. ------------------------------------------------- Woooaaaaaa!!! Woooaaaa!!! I'm gettin' off it! -

i think you misunderstand me. By life expereince i dont mean activities like that. I know when I was 14 I used to think I knew what I wanted and that nothing would shock me. I was wrong. things change. surely someone can see what im saying? ------------------------------------------------- Woooaaaaaa!!! Woooaaaa!!! I'm gettin' off it!
