  1. Done it a bunch of times. If it is an interior wall with attic space, it isn't all that hard. If there is insulation in the walls, it is a bit harder. PM me and I can explain how to do it. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  2. I'm new to the sport and it is important to me now. Don't know if it will change as I get more time in. It is one place where it doesn't matter what you do in the real world, you are part of the community. Go to a new DZ, and you are welcomed. I have met a lot of kewl people from different DZs across the nation that I would not have met otherwise. Right now, work sucks and jumping allows me to completely forget my weekday concerns. And it is actually cheaper then therapy. So it enriches my life on multiple levels. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

  4. My condolences on the loss of your dad. Once all of us kids became adults, my dad made the choice to not be part of the family and we weren't really that close while he was around. It still stung finding out he passed suddenly. It was weird having to learn who he had become by going through his things to get his personal business in order. Since then, I have made an extra effort to keep in touch with the friends anf family who mean so much to me and let them know it. Thanks for the reminder. 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

  5. Ya, right. Believe it when I see it. Actually, since I won't be there this weekend, you'll do it just so I can't get in on the pieing in return for mine at LP. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  6. This weekend I made a "coach" jump with two guys with 40+ jumps. We worked on maintaining fall rate with no contact RW. We all were of different size, dressed in RW-Freefly-street clothes and it was a blast popping up and sinking out and having them chase me. They did great. I look forward to getting my skill level to a point to get my coach rating. I remember the feeling I had when a coach helped me achieve a new skill and want to share in that feeling with newer jumpers. 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

  7. Then how come I still have the last post? Fine, as ALWAYS, you win. Dammit, it is all about you. I'm turning off my computer and sulking. Tootles all.
  8. Nope, he hasn't done anything to deserve it. And you have? Actually, I'm trying to keep your attention away from the thread killer thread to see if I can get #27. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  9. Well as long as we keep answering the question, the thread is alive, so none of us are guilty. (Of that offense anyway! ) Until a greenie comes in. But then again, none of the greenies are newbies. Krisanne, second warning. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

  14. Take some time to rent/demo the different canopies/rigs. As a student, you are bound to have some not so pretty landings as you progress. Don't scuff up a nice new pretty container. I am about the same size as you and there are lots of available used rigs for sell. They hold their value when ready to resell and once you have figured out what you like, then splurge. I plan to put one more season on mine learning all it has to offer before I go new. Save some time in having to go to the bank/ATM on payday. Direct deposit your check right to your account at the DZ. Save one step. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  15. During student status, rented a Spectre 190 and then went to a Sabre 190. I enjoyed the difference in flight characteristics of the Sabre immediately. Other students renting at the same time preferred the Spectre. I was able to stand up both right off the bat, just had more fun on the Sabre. I now have my own Sabre 1 170 and have not been slammed after 80 jumps. I realize that is not many on a canopy, but I get a nice consistant 800' snivel and only a few off heading openings that were most likely due to body position. If you give it a try, learn how to pack it and pay attention to body position when you pitch the PC. Mine has treated me just fine. My $.02. 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

  16. I've had my reserve out twice and both flew great. Not the best way to find out. When I buy my new rig, I plan to demo my reserve. just to make sure I know how it flies with a little less stress involved so I won't be as stressed the next time I fly it. 50 donations so far.

  24. I'm jumping a Sabre 1 170 at 1.12:1. I get a 800 foot snivel on average. Never been slammed and get decent on heading openings. My Sabre is well behaved. I use the larger bands double stowed now, but thinking of going to the smaller bands. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
