if you read 100 jump wonder/ coach you would see that people did fell it was and issue as well as did the whole uspa they questioned a lot if they should have even created the coach. I pu this on here so that others who were concerned about it could contact the right people. I also don't believe that 100 isn't enough for evryone but on my few years in I have seen some idiots who were w students. There is a gap and it needs to be shortened. don't try your bullshit with me!!!

dolphin was my worst man those rigs aare cheap i am really uncomfy jumping with people who have those. I have seen so may prematures on those damn things don't try your bullshit with me!!!

sounds like the dzo's and riggers ought to take initiative with everyone not just students and put on small gear class on a regular basis maybe two or three times a year. I do agree with the statement of overload. This must be an ongoing learning process because the sport is a never ending learning curve. Everybody and everything can always improve but you have to work at it. don't try your bullshit with me!!!

There has been a lot of talk of coach jump requirements. I amoung most of the general population on other threads feel that the jumps aren't enough and was told to quit bitching about it and do something. Sooooo here you go, I e mailed Gary Peek the central regional director. He said that uspa does know of the issue and has been spoke about to death in their S&T meetings. He said I could come address the issue at their next BOD (board of directors) meeting, but the ONLY THING THAT WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE IS IF MANY PEOPLE E MAILED OR CALLED THERE CONCERNS IN TO THE BOD OR THEIR REGIONAL DIRECTOR ABOUT THIS ISSUE. He also said that the uspa does not consider these forums as valid input from anyone so this is not a bithing thread, it is for those who do have concerns, and I have shown the way for them to be heard if they want it changed. Thanks all Joel don't try your bullshit with me!!!

I am a big vector lover they are proven to be the most functional rig on the market and they just keep getting better. I would go with the vector I know that you can find dealers i.e not the big ones on the net , but jumpers who are dealers. The reason why I say that is because we use to get outrageous amounts off of vector because our dealer did no mark up and hooked us up. I laugh at people who pay full price for rigs its a waste of money. Also have you ever considered a Voodoo this is another fine fine rig a close friend of mine jumps one they come totally loaded for 1700 and something I believe but dont quote me on that. The mirage is also awesome they just look pretty boxy looking to me but thats my opinion i guess. Hope it helps, Joel don't try your bullshit with me!!!

couldn't agree more. Pack your own, you will be able to pack just as fast or faster than them and also pack cleaner IF you work hard at packing I only have about 500 jumps but i know i have close to 1200 pack jobs because i would practice almost every night packing for speed and cleanlines of pack i can pack in about 6min without really hussleing. I just dont really trust many people, Just a few i wolud let pack don't try your bullshit with me!!!

I am a new rigger who needs tools and this would be great don't try your bullshit with me!!!

alright guys and gals i just got an e mail from uspa central regional director gary peek. He said this, he has heard of this thread and there is talk there if coach should even have been created. THey have discussed the rating to death in S&T meetings. He told me that I could bring it to the board meeting if I wanted, but the ONLY thing that will matter is if MANY people contact the BOD or the regional director voicing the same concerns. I asked him to post and basically the USPA does not treat postings on forums or newsletters as valid input from members. So there you go if you really do have concerns as i did as well as most others you will take the minute it takes and go e mail BOD or regional director. IF not this thread is pretty well pointless because it will all stay the same. =) Joel don't try your bullshit with me!!!

i love my fam and friends i want to be here with them and live a healthy just like anyone else. I wish i could go to heaven right now but that won't happen until god decides when, and thats what i believe don't try your bullshit with me!!!

yes, studies have shown this that it does make you healthier and live longer don't try your bullshit with me!!!

quesiton: on big ff jumps breakoff they are taught to 180 and look behind them and track on their backs and then barrel roll later. Is this wrong? the reson for the 180 is so they don't take off into someone in their track because they don't know if anyone is behind them. ive seen video of that its not pretty. lot me know if you could don't try your bullshit with me!!!

i was wrong on that one point taken don't try your bullshit with me!!!

so its pointless why we are here? no purpose for our existences? don't try your bullshit with me!!!

wasn't this country founded upon for religious freedoms? don't try your bullshit with me!!!

nope, just saying that all of this god stuff didn't just crop up out of no where. if noone created us and there is nowhere after this life, then why, and how are we all here don't try your bullshit with me!!!

does anyone else think that it is funny that on all american money it says: "In god we trust" so the fore fathers of this country were wrong? Come on now. don't try your bullshit with me!!!

sounds more like your opinion rather than a dictionary definition. don't try your bullshit with me!!!

do some research you will find the opposite of fear is faith But I do hope that what ever you do belive in makes you sincerely happy in life. don't try your bullshit with me!!!

Highly inconvinient for everyone. I know when I was 15,16, and on up I had my own car and i went to the mall a lot and if I was told that i needed my parents with me to go in. WOW how stupid is that. I believe the country is rotting from the inside out little by little cause of shit like this. pretty soon there is going to have to be someone there telling me how to wipe my butt. I am also a veteran so i love this country but JESUS come on lets use our damn brains people. Laws are like a big belt while good to hold your pants up if gerded to tight we will all barley be able to breathe. So whats this say? We our losing our freedom little by little and it will all slip away if we don't watch it. Bad stuff is gonna happen we can't stop it all that is impossible. If they want that lets all just lock ourselves up in our houses and stare at the wall so we can do no harm. This reminds me of people who hook it in and then sue all the manufacturers even thought it was a pilot error. Thats like here, let me drive my chevy truck into this wall and then sue the manufacturer. Ludacris absolute crazy bs these days. don't try your bullshit with me!!!

the best thing i can say is listen to gods message and not the messangers no matter who they are. Humans will almost always fail each other. If someone holds something against you, there wrong god has already forgiven you. So are they better than god? I dont think so. Does god call down in an all deep voice and say go my son and do this? No, but I have the FAITH that he will help and guide me. God works through people. don't try your bullshit with me!!!

lol don't try your bullshit with me!!!

mals are funny to me I have had none in 500 jumps ever, but i always expect one. I have seen people go with 7000 jumps and have none and then may have a few in a week or something like that. I pack in bout 5-7 min don't screw with it too much and its worked great. I have seen a guy who is meticulous about his pack jobs have mals, and you know thats just the baffling part of it all. In a way mals are hard to make happen and in others they aren't. I do believe you MUST know how the canopy reacts to different packing i think that is huge because even though it could be the same exact brand and type you can almost bet the two will be different in the way they open and charcterisitics they may have. So i guess what the heckI don't know. Get with a good rigger if your worried about it and have them watch you pack and tell you what your doing, right, wrong, indifferent. don't try your bullshit with me!!!

I gotta a good acronym the other day P.U.S.H. Pray Until Something Happens and your right pandoras is open now, I had to though don't try your bullshit with me!!!

totally agree w all youve said. I would like to know if anyone, especially those who doubt god or don't believe could you tell me if you believe in miracles? IF not can you explain what a miracle is and why or how it happens? Lastly, has God ever hurt anyone? If so can you explain? I do believe but since this thread is red hot I would like to see what others have to share Thanks all, and what ever works for any of you keep doin that don't try your bullshit with me!!!

mine was triathlon 190 spanked me couple times and was the most NON flaring damn canopy ever. Not a bad canopy though at all. don't try your bullshit with me!!!
