I am a student at a DZ in Indiana and have 22 jumps, I have a chance to get a full face helmet and was wondering if there is some kind of regulation against students using full face helmets. STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!!!!!! LATER STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!! LATER SKYBOMB

The protrack was in an inside pocket of my jump suit, and he could not get an average speed because when i was going for a 90 degree turn I got to aggressive and flipped on my back but recovered in plenty ov time to pull at 4000'. Heading to the DZ again this weekend and hopefully can work on my body position in free fall some more. Any suggestions? STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!! LATER STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!!

I was on my 12 jump and everything was going great started my 90 degree turns and got into a flat spin. I was so ingrossed in trying to get stable before deploying I flew right threw my pull altitude of 4000 and by the time i realized it i was pulling at around 2100. When my main deployed I was so rattled that I read the TET wrong and down winded. I hand my first PLF landing and other than some sore muscles I learned a valueable lesson PULL AND PULL ON TIME. By the way my second jump went much better open by 4000'. My instructor put a protrack on me on my second jump because of my size to get a fall rate and found out that i had a max speed of 155mph .

Hey Bob My name is Jerry AKA bigfall, I started jumping last year with some of my instructors equipment, because of my size he lined me up with a MC-4 rig and over the winter he did some work to it and added an cypress and last weekend I did my first clear and pull. Yes the rig is bulkie but I thinbk my rig is great because it is unique and no body at the drop zone has one so thereare alot of questions. The canopys are very large and veru stable so yes they are very forgiving. In my opinion I would not trade it right now for anything, P.M. me if you have any questions.

Hey everybody, got my new rig back on Saturday after I watched my friend and rigger test jump it for the first time but I couldn't jump because by the time we repacked it the winds were to high for students to jump. But I came back the following two days and got current and made several jumps and did my first clear and pull. I was nerves at first but on the way up to altitude running thru the pto's in my head and the procedures when the jump master said door a calm came over me and it went nice and smooth and felt great!!!! can't wait for the weekend to get here.

Hey everybody I just bought a used sapphire altimeter and it has a wrist band on it and I wanted to switch it over to a o ring hand mount. I have tried para gear and para equip and square one and nobody knows of anyone that sells them, so I figured I would turn to the next best place to get information. If anybody has any suggestions I would love to here from them. Thanks STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!!!!!!! LATER STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!! LATER SKYBOMB

Hello I to am new to the sport I have 4 jumps, I am in the construction trade and have a fear of heights but in my trade you just have to work around it. I thought it would be tuff to jump out when we got to altitude but you don't get the same feeling of being up high. On my first jump with a plane full of jumpers they talked to me on the way up and when we got to jump altitude and the door opened they had me so pumped up that when the jump master said to the door I didn't hesitate right out the door I went What a rush. If you are just plainning on doing 1 tandum jump I suggest you get it filmed because it is so much to take in at once you will have a hard time remembering leaving the plane once you are under canopy.

Hey everybody I don't know if this the right forum to write this in but my instructor told me to post on Dropzone and ask. I am new to the fantastic sport of skydiving and still am a student, a friend of mine died recently unexpected and life insurance became an issue. I checked on mine and it does not cover me if I skydive, and we know I can;t stop now. Does anyone have any suggestions on companys that will cover skydivers. I appreciate any help you can give me in this situation. Blue Skys and Safe Landings!!!!! Thanks Bigfall STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!! LATER SKYBOMB

I recently bought myself an MC-5 Halo rig so that I can start on my free fall training in the spring but the guy that I bought the rig from did not send me the packing manual and I was wondering if any of you might know where I might be able to get one. Also if there is a specific type of aad that I would need to get so I can have it installed. Thaks Jerry STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!! LATER SKYBOMB

hey I'm glad that you enjoyed your first jump. But you are right the feeling that you get when you go out on your own is incredable. it's such a rush. I have not got to the free fall part of my training because I started to late in the season but as soon as the weather breaks I am back at it I even have bought my first rig and it should be here any day. stay with it you will absolutely crave your next jump.
