  1. I think the tandem progression is very useful. At my DZ you are required to do 3 tandems and then AFF is only one instr. Here's why I think tandems are more than just a joy ride: Tandem 1: This one, is just a ride but you are jumping out of a plane for the first time, you can easily be overwhelmed by everything going around you. Having somebody that knows what to do greatly decreases your level of stress and you can enjoy the ride. You also get to pull for yourself and you know what to expect. Tandem 2: Altitude awareness is your primary job, you also get to start and stop turns, and forward movement, and I think you also do practice touches (can't remember), pull at correct altitude. Tandem 3: Same as tandem 2 but you have to pick a heading, the TM will turn you, and you have to turn back to your heading. During all 3 levels you get instruction on flying the canopy, landing patterns and flaring. I think the tandems prepared me very well for AFP and would not do it any other way. (Passed AFF without any repeats) Just my experience. Hope you get back in the air soon Inveniam Viam aut Faciam I'm back biatches!

  6. I got my water training out of the way yesterday, so just 10 more jumps for my B
  7. I was afraid of night jumps, but after watching them last night, I can't wait to do it. I'll probably be doing 2 next month. My other big skydiving fear is landing in the plane Weird, but I get the willis just thinking about bracing myself for landing. Inveniam Viam aut Faciam I'm back biatches!

  9. Don't this fucking people realize that you HAVE to pick the showcase with a theme at the showcase showdown. The stupid woman just gave up a huge boat, plasma tv, etc, for a stupid stove and some other shit I hope she loses Inveniam Viam aut Faciam I'm back biatches!
  10. I too would really like more emphasis on canopy control during AFF/student status. I will be taking the Scott Miller course next week and I'm super psyched. Can't wait Inveniam Viam aut Faciam I'm back biatches!
  11. Ok, I'm a little lost. How is this Ben and Cary with non existent DZs any different than Skyride? BTW, the Super Otter pict. is hilarious It really instills confidence. Doesn't it? Inveniam Viam aut Faciam I'm back biatches!
  12. Failed, failed, failed Inveniam Viam aut Faciam I'm back biatches!
  13. It's hotter than a mofo up in this bitch Yep, I'm still leaving in about half hour to go squeeze myself between a bunch of people in a hot plane and guess what ... jump out of it My outside thermometer says 100F. What the F? This is Jersey not Arizona Inveniam Viam aut Faciam I'm back biatches!
  14. I also have my trusty Protec. I covered the ear holes with electrical tape, which is the same color as the helmet (virtually invisible from even a short distance) it has a great spot for the Pro-Track. All you need is a couple os stickers to make even a Pro-tec look a little more cooler Inveniam Viam aut Faciam I'm back biatches!
  15. Having just gone through AFF, I think the biggest problem is the anxiety and stiffness. Like everyone says, just relax and things will fall into place. As a new jumper that was by far the most difficult part of skydiving. If going to a tunnel helps with your confidence, then go for it, but remember, in a tunnel there is no ride to alti, no watching other people jump out, no door anxiety, and no rushing ground coming to you. Having said that, I really would like some tunnel time to help with my fall rate Inveniam Viam aut Faciam I'm back biatches!

    It really wasn't about the beer or crack or water. It was about the manner in which he chose to express himself. He apologized for sounding that way so its all good. Inveniam Viam aut Faciam I'm back biatches!

  19. How nice it would be to live in a perfect world... It's nice to say that parents should take the sole responsibility, but the reality is that all parents need to feed and shelter their kids and to many, this may leave very little time for actual face to face interaction. We live at a time where babysitters, daycares, tv and internet are teaching our children. How much time do you think you would have with your child if you were making $5.25 per hour? School may very well be the only consistent thing a child has in his/her life. We have a systemic problem that needs a systemic solution. BTW, I think parents SHOULD be responsible for the "life skill" education of their children, but that is very unrealistic to many. As to Kallend's Education is definitely NOT top priority in the US. Like they say, to keep the masses uneducated and stupid, it's the best way to stay in power. Inveniam Viam aut Faciam I'm back biatches!

    I also didn't appreciate the "better than thou" attitude. It's fine if you don't drink or you don't want to buy alcohol, but to call those that do decide to drink brainless is just not cool Inveniam Viam aut Faciam I'm back biatches!
  21. I don't get it? Inveniam Viam aut Faciam I'm back biatches!
  22. Congrats on the good decision and safe landing. Just curious, what are you flying and what is you wingload? Would a relative light WL of around 1:1 and large canopy cause such mal Inveniam Viam aut Faciam I'm back biatches!
  23. The answer seems simple and self-evident... Surfer chicks = hot chicks Exposure to hot chicks = Banging hot chicks Any questions? Inveniam Viam aut Faciam I'm back biatches!
  24. I liked the article. I though it was factual and in no way defamatory to CK. I just wish I had a fall rate of 120 mph Inveniam Viam aut Faciam I'm back biatches!
  25. I have a trusty ProTec but I always liked the look of the Havoc (would be my choice if buying a full face), why the not so hot reviews? Inveniam Viam aut Faciam I'm back biatches!
