i so wouldnt complain.... he could guys, and and some of the wierd shit that lots of other kids his age like!
-
sounds like were a pair.... Ive had 2 in 66 jumps
-
where I live I have three dz's in under an hours drive and several more in unders 2 hrs drive. I consider zhills my home dz, and unless something really off the wall and unforseen happens, I dont see that changing, however, I would like to occasionally goto one of the others in the area, just for shits and giggles. I just wanna make sure this isnt considered a "trader" type act. And I defintily dont wanna piss off anyone at my home dz.

about my canopy.... (response to all) 1) I have only been under a huge canopy (over 200) 1 time I am sure of, maybe 2. I even did most of my aff under a spectre 170 b/c of my body size and weight, (none of the student rigs would fit me, no mattter how much they were adjusted). 2) seeing tandem catchers out, doesnt ring a bell to me that the winds might be up cuz where I did aff at in the midwest, it was an everyday normal thing to see. All thru my aff, they were there. 3) I wasnt looking for "you did the right or wrong thing" neccesarily in the post, but more an explanation as to why it is easier to land with more wind. Thanks to those of you who gave me polite constructive criticism about this, you know who you are. Your advice I will take to heart and use in future situations. To the safety nazi's , you want to be listened, find a smoother approach.

heh! guess im smart..I read it with no problem

thats just it, there was nothing to listen to or learn from yesterday, definitly more people were jumping than not. I was watching the canopies, had I seen any "dancing around" I would have sat it out, but all the landings looked fine and dandy to me. To the previous responses: And as far as me upsizing goes, I am am under a 150 now, and if I go any bigger, I get no penetration at all. I am between 130 and 135 out the door now. I have landed way way off under big canopies before b/c of this. ------------------------------------------------------------- I so wasnt looking to get "riffed" so to speak, I was just wondering why, nothing was suggested prior to my jumping, likeit was the weekend before last. Rkymtnhigh and peacefuljeffrey will be the first to tell you that I will sit it out without a 2nd's guess or complaint.

the load was full, and it wasnt even discussed, all of the loads were full prior too and after this load. the weekend i chose to sit out, they were having a hard time getting loads together period...that definitly wasnt the case yesterday. also, the weekend prior ( 4/15-16) the winds were of constant discussion, i heard very little conversation about yesterday....

Surely this can't be right?

i have never base'd but it appears to me, that it is probably the camera playing eye tricks per se... -
just to clear things up.... i sat watch the wind sock and the tree tops, nearly the entire time prior to getting on the load, it didnt seem bad at all, and nobody prior to my jump said anything to me about possibly not jumping. Not until after i landed was it brought to my attention. that maybe the winds were too high. 2 weekends prior, two people at the hills that i trust 100% both told me too sit it out, i did...no questions asked... yesterday, nothing.... so i didnt think anything of it....and in my observation, i didnt notice the gusts...
-
i was getting good penetration, landed close to my target, and was able to conrol it fine after i landed....
-
k.... so I got one out of the ten.... I remember banana bikes, mine is still sitting in my grandmas barn from when I was a kid and spent summers at her house.

I have found that my landings are 200% better with some ground speed from wind, I stick it every time. little to no wind I tend to get ground fixation and biff it... yesterday as I was about to get on for my 2nd jump, the wind sock was showing 12 to 15, I was comfy with it, (not gusting not turbulent) so I made the jump. When I go back down (after a perfect landing) it was brought to my attention, that people were talking about me, that I had no business, jumping in those winds cuz of my jump #'s. I am very safety concious, and I was totally comfy with it. I will be the first to sit it out when its turbulent or gusting, but it was steady yesterday, they had just picked up a bit. All jumpers are different, and all are at a different skill level at their various jump numbers. I know my capabilities very well, and I totally trust my gut when it tells me to sit it out. so, now I would like some educated opinions on this... PS this jump was a 4 way with very seasoned jumpers.

I jump every other weekend, if I can afford it... I am very safety minded and if I am a bit in doubt, I do a coach jump. B/c of family and working, I only have 66 jumps in two years. I have never been told that I could "be dangerous" b/c of this.... Just do your best, and keep safety your #1 priority

woo hoo.... I had such an awesome day jumpin yesterday, on my 2nd jump I did a 4 way and am now and official Muff Brother!!!! I finshed the day with my water training, so now I am just the written test away from having my B! I jumped my new canopy yesterday, that was so awesome! I love it!!! Yesterday was truly one of the best days I have had in a long long time!
