Every time I have been there I usually always get 8-11 jumps a day. They have a lot of experienced freeflyers and anyone will jump with you. They bring you right in. I wish I lived in Dallas.

Its a javelin knock off, and have seen quite a few premature openings on this system. There are plenty of better rigs out there to start with. The company needs to really improve quality and fuctionality of rig.
-
Nice place, anyone will jump with you, and wide body compensates for the aircraft being a 182. They get a lot of people into the sport.I would jump there anytime.

vector 3, mirage, voodoo, wings, infinity, all are excellent and made well. I own v3 but its up to you and what fits better try them all and make your decision if you can. don't try your bullshit with me!!!
-
I agree, but once you start to hit certain weights it is very hard to fly with a tight cut suit, and have a lot of range. don't try your bullshit with me!!!
-
that is what i had done to mine, it still is baggy though, I like it that way. 250 out the door, I have to get my range somewhere. don't try your bullshit with me!!!
-
What I can not stand is people spiraling in traffic especially when it is directly over the landing area. So I and friends get to wait while we are running out of altitude for this guy to get down se we can set up. Just another common thing I see especially at small dz's that have a boogie. don't try your bullshit with me!!!

Swoopers take some beatings sometimes! I have watched many vids and wow even if they land good in a distance competiton they are getiin' beat on by the ground. don't try your bullshit with me!!!

#1 call Sherry at Firefly. #2 baggy will help. Smaller guys get away with tight cut and I am taliking 180 and down and the 180 guy better be good to do that with a tight cut. There hits a certain point where, yes a lot of people have went back to the tighter cut, but for heavier guys 99% of the time it is not going to work out near as well as it would for a smaller guy. You still need range of speed too, big guys need that bagginess to help range. If anything go baggy to start and build some skill and then go to less if you think it will help your game. Hope this helps. Joel don't try your bullshit with me!!!

If you can afford and time permits, go get you riggers ticket. Not that I had a hard time trusting (although there are some that I would not go to) I did not want to be dependent on someone else anymore. Please don't feel that you need a bunch of jumps to be a rigger (I kind of did, but I was wrong) the course can be accomplished with ease if you work very hard at it. Hope this helps. don't try your bullshit with me!!!

you flare in the canopy becomes stronger the faster you go so could have been extra speed and you flaring normally at that speed would cause extra lift. Just a thought Maybe not? Joel don't try your bullshit with me!!!

The hidden [monetary] costs of skydiving.
2shay replied to gontleman's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
well I did not do it for money, I only charge 45 and mostly just pack mine but would do for most anyone. But i guess whatever, if people will pay it I guess I can't really blame them. The only thing I do not like about it is that people rationalize and justify until the prices are ridiculous. Think about 5-10 yrs from now, Guess I just like to see the prices reasonably low for future and for everyone. Typical repack is 2 hours lets say, and that is slow, but that is 22.50 an hour. Not bad in my opinion. Guess I just don't see the point and that is the main reason I got my ticket. Help people out with reasonable costs, and not be dependent on others, anyway this is a whole other thread now so did not want to get away from the subject. PM me if you want to keep thread on subject. Joel don't try your bullshit with me!!! -
I dont like pop tops either. I am just die hard v3 Bill is a genius. Good thing is that I see more and more all the time. don't try your bullshit with me!!!

The hidden [monetary] costs of skydiving.
2shay replied to gontleman's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
70 for a repack?!?!? wow I have heard a few at 60 which I still think is high but 70. I am glad I got my ticket! don't try your bullshit with me!!! -
Give PD a call and ask for Isaiah. He can give you all the info you need for jump #'s/skill/canopies you should be using. don't try your bullshit with me!!!
-
agreed its short but not as short as stilletto. It is an excellent canopy to learn to do hp landings and way way more, I have out performed guys on other hotter canopies. You will love it. Absolutely once again put at least 800-1000 jumps on it, and your skill will be second to none with proper training, don't try your bullshit with me!!!
-
my WL was a bit shy of that and now is higher than that because of weightlifting. Anyway the viper is absolutely a great canopy you can do whatever you want w it. straight in swoop whatever. I reccomend that you put hundreds if not a 1000 jumps on that WL although I do not know your experience level. But the viper is an excelent skill builder canopy. very aggressive if you want or very docile if you want. sweeeeeeeeeet. safe swoops Joel don't try your bullshit with me!!!

you will love it I love mine don't try your bullshit with me!!!
-
isn't a BSR just a reccomendation? don't try your bullshit with me!!!
-
good deal man. You will be happy. don't try your bullshit with me!!!

do some research and you will find that states who adopt conceal and carry, their crime rates homicide assault, etc. go down by quite a bit. Criminals will have guns no matter if they are legal or not. States that are more restrictive have higher rates in every aspect. Lets say you are going to rob a business, and you know that out of the 60 people in there probably at least 1-3 people have a gun. That might be eonugh to change your mind in roobing that place. don't try your bullshit with me!!!
-
I looked at boogieman and they look sweet but I'll be damned if I will ever pay that much for a FF suit. All Firefly for me baby. High quality very very reasonable price. don't try your bullshit with me!!!

I got that slider down, all right..
2shay replied to schwansa's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
It may feel weird but that is where you want the slider down and behind your head. If you think it does not make a difference jump the slider collapsed and behind your head for about 50 jumps and then try one with out it down. I can gurantee that you will not like it when it is up. having it down does help your canopy flatten out and your flare will be easier. don't try your bullshit with me!!! -
Why? don't try your bullshit with me!!!

What makes someone pick the place to make thier first jump?
2shay replied to Fast's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
LOCATION, it did not matter to me because all aircraft around here were 182. However, I later found the one further away was much much better. don't try your bullshit with me!!!
