Then the rams play on Sunday....playoffs....WHEN DO I HAVE TIME TO JUMP????? Anne What do I make? Teachers make a difference. What do you make?

He gets excited because he is a dog and he has gotten positve feedback in the plane before. The owner has taught him to enjoy that experience. I just don't think that the risks are worth it with a dog or a child....What if something goes wrong? We all make the decision for ourselves everytime we jump, but I just don't think that we have the right to endanger a dog or a child.... my .02 Anne What do I make? Teachers make a difference.

Just out of curiousity, whot happens when you are in an accident or have to slam on your brake while dear poochie's head is sticking out the window? This all ranks right up there with dogs in the back of pick-ups. It seems to me that jumping with a dog is for the owner's fun, not the animals.... Anne What do I make? Teachers make a difference.

I ask cuz I was getting spanked by my 190 until someone taught me how to pack it. I flat pack it, rolling the four outer nose cells nad stuffing them into the center on each side, then rolling the crap out of the whoel thing. Then I roll the flaked tail, so far as to undo the first flake. I uses mini-bands on my microlines, except for the first two locking stows and the last certering stow... I get great on-heading, snively openings. Anne What do I make? Teachers make a difference. What do you make?

Damn, that landing looks familiar!!!! Anne What do I make? Teachers make a difference. What do you make?
-
Yeah, I guess I am comfortable there... I know long before then if there is a problem... The arguement started cuz I was third out from 4500 feet on a "hop and pop" and I was the first to land.... Everyone else pitched right out of the plane. I didn't feel the need to throw at 4000+, so I took a delay. In comparison to the others, I was low. I do not think I was dangerously low, by any means!

in freefall, it takes 6 seconds (approx) to go 1000 feet, right? So if my altimeter is in front of my eyes as I throw, you still argue that I am a second or two behind my own eyes? Anne What do I make? Teachers make a difference. What do you make?

Phree, I find it hard to believe that my canopy takes only 400-500 feet to open. I have my altimeter in front of my face as I throw, and then check again when the cells are all open. 700-800 feet. I also have trouble believing that all Sabres are gonna open in the same amount of altitude, regardless of number of jumps on them, loading, and how they are packed. When I first started jumping this canopy, I hated the openings, they are hard and fast. Then I learned to pack it and it takes significantly longer. Anne What do I make? Teachers make a difference.

Ok, it sounds like I was misinformed about my ProTrack...if it reads opening at 2200 and my main takes 700-800 feet to open, then I really did dump at 3000 or just under, right?? Then I have another question....does this seem like too low of a deployment altitude for a jumper with 140 jumps, jumps every weekend (very current!) jumping a lightly loaded Sabre??? (I need help settling an arguement!) Thanks, Anne What do I make? Teachers make a difference. What do you make?

okay, i am too much of a computer moron to be able to get the video to play, but I am cringing at the photo!!! Hope you hopping around soon, Phree! Anne What do I make? Teachers make a difference. What do you make?

My least favorite reason people give for wanting to teach is "June, July and August." Teaching is incredibly draining. I am frustrated with my job cuz of all the people in my building who don't do their jobs. For example, this week is finals week, and there are quite a few teachers who are not giving their students finals, mostly becuase they do not want to take the time to grade that many tests. Sometimes I feel like I am way too idealistic for this job. Anne What do I make? Teachers make a difference. What do you make?

I have noticed that my Pro-Track records a deployment altitude significantly lower than when I think I have pulled. How much of a discrepancy have you found? Are we talking two hundred feet? Five hundred? Does the opening distance of your canopy affect how many feet? Anne What do I make? Teachers make a difference. What do you make?

I bought a Mirage sized for a ZP 170 main. I easily fit a Sabre 190 in it. (Ok, not so easy in the winter) I expect to be able to safely put a 170 or a 150 ZP main in it. "It's like a Tupperware party with dildos and lots of beer."
