Sammy-

I live about an hour from WTS in Southaven. What do you need? (btw, it may take me a day or 2 to see your reply, but I won't ignore ya) -Sammy EDIT Just found the other thread about the car. e-mail me at cagardner@yahoo.com and we can discuss what you need me to do. No, I will not steal the car and UPS it to you part-by-part.

As a very new skydiver, I think this is a wonderful idea. I, too, have a problem with it, however. Who is going to teach this? I read posts on here all the time where people are asking for help with their canopy. The usual response? "Take PERSONX or PERSONY's WONDERFUL canopy training course - It'll make your penis linger & your hair grow back thicker and fuller! Stops aging! reduces wrinkles. its' the cure-all for everything! The problem is that I have a job, a wife, and 2 children. I can't travel to FL, CA, NV, or those other 'exotic' locations just to learn something about my 'hobby' ps wouldn't it be nice if a canopy control course COULD make my 'hair' longer?

I didn't tip my first Tandem Instructor (a guy), but my AFF instructor spent a lot of extra time with me, and I gave her a card with $100 in it. She seemed to be embarrassed by it. Does that make me a sexist for not tipping the guy?

If the 190 you are refering to is the blue one (Dane's student rig) then you are right... the reserver is a 170. (It 's the same rig I try to get when I jump) btw.. that old F-111 210 does suck, doesn't it!? I haven't had a decent landing on it yet.

I've been jumping 190 - 210's since my first jump. (I weigh about 185). Am I putting myself in danger by jumping what I thought was a large canopy, but what appears (after reading your post) to be a small canopy for my jump numbers?
