Guess you dont wear flotation gear out there? (IAW SIM) FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

I tend to concern myself with both, I like knowing when the people before and after me are going to deploy, but that doesnt mean I dont take into consideration what the jumprun winds are doing and get my proper exit seperation.. I usually do try to pull either at the same or less altitude than the group exiting after me though... FGF #??? I miss the sky...

I agree with you... But I feel like that about most sports, if I'm not playing it watching it is boring boring boring.. FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

ohhh!! forgot that one... done that twice... one time I did 4 jumps in the same day, realized it was turned off as I was getting ready to leave the DZ what an awsome thread... FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

Why's it gotta be like that? I was corrected about this many jumps ago (cuz I have sooo many jumps) *** Kiting is bad because it creates confusion on the landing area, creates more of an obstical on the landing area, and could cause someone to have a bad day. *** Or something like that..

hmmm.. lets see, kiting, done it.. (didnt know it was a hazard) landed in high performance landing area (few times) almost flew into the side of a hanger on a crosswind landing (once) landed a canopy that I could not control due to malfunction instead of chopping (once) landed down wind (couple times) ate shit on landing (few times) opened in close proximity to another jumper (twice) opened and had someone freefall past me because I didnt properly clear my airspace (once) floated after a cork on a freefly jump almost causing what could have been a fatal collision, we barely missed.. Couple lessons learned there, one being that I should not be up there with other people yet when freeflying (once) Tracked along the line of flight on some early solos before I knew any better (more than once) We all make mistakes... Recognize what they are and fix them, you've recognized them, your leaps ahead of some people. edited to add more crap to the list FGF #??? I miss the sky...

LOL LOVE the "Pack like a Ho" shirt.. FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

There should be packing classes at your DZ... Or you pay a packer a fee to teach you how to pack.. Then it's trial and error, hopefully without the error FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

You know those tapes, the ones you listen to while you sleep..... Somebody teaches you. FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

If a dust devil is picking you up, you probably dont have the time to sit there and think "hmm, i'd better disconnect my rsl before I cut away this main thats getting ready to take me for a ride right now" ... ... Just a hunch... FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

that tool thing that was linked to earlier, the silver bar with a string.. I tried to use one once, it pissed me off, and I went back to the free trusty pull up cord But some people think they are easier I guess... FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

woops, wrong tool :) Edited cuz I commented on wrong tool FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

:6:1 Six jumps, First high altitude H&P, in the saddle at 13.2k Today I flew an airplane for the first time, my intro to the private pilots license training FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

You will feel a bit less turbulance as you start increasing your wingloading, I just finally got to the 1:1 mark 5 jumps ago, ride is a little less bumpy ... Also there are other not-so-high-performance canopies out there that have airlocks if that's what your looking for. FGF #??? I miss the sky...

The dropzone.com dropzone list is a great reference... However, it doesnt do much for advertising... this wheretojump thing is an advertising effort, specificly designed to debunk skyride on the search engines... Sounds like a good idea to me. FGF #???

lol FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

I think I've learned what I need to know, STAY AWAY FROM THEM.. having learned that, I'm happy I jump at a DZ that doesnt usually get them.. FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

Sounds like you have a flaky rigger, did he mabey put you on a "list" ? FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

I dont know how you consider me dangerous, ... Two cut aways, never got close to dying, never put anyone else in danger... Get a clue, a malfunction isnt the end of the world. Oh, and people still wanna fly with me, even in the same formation... Much better than not even wanting to be in the same plane ! FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

or mabey they will just decide to leave you on the ground... FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.
