The new Sabres are slightly elliptical. I will be there Thursday evening for a packing class, nothing like waiting 'til the last minute. I am planning to be down there July 14th to complete my AFP 16 & 17 and the Grad jump. Good to hear you are a Jim Beam drinker, support your local companies.

Slowfaller: I was correct about the new canopies...they are SABRE 2's. I bet she would laugh. I just wanted to be cautious, wouldn't want to step on anybody's toes especially be new to the scene at SDC. By the way the new canopies fly so sweet but have a bit more lift in deep flair. Blue to You, ADRNALN

SwagDiva: I am the same way I am much more cautious and aware while driving too. I guess my think is something along the lines of "if I am going to get hurt (or worse) it better be from skydiving."

Slowfaller: Now, Now, I was trying to be covert. I guess I gave a bit too much info there. She was awesome to jump with.

Come to think of it.....It may not have been a sabre now that I think about it....I think you are right it was a stilleto hybrid (the name was in very plain sight and I can't remember to save my arse)....SDC hadn't replace all of them as of Saturday but there a lot of them done so far.

Way To Go!!!!! Iam right behind you. I have my packing class this week and 2 more jumps after that til I am there. CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!

Mouth: You are so right, the weekends should be the workdays and the weekdays should be play time. Freefly chick, no sorry no story there....though she is a total cutie! She is the DZO's daughter - I don't think I want the extra attention! Wildblue: It was a rental rig so I didn't pack it. But it was a brand new canopy so a couple of the instructors said it was just a bad pack job. Knocked the shit out of me but I was just like oh well time for red zone turns, WWWWEEEEEEEEE! I love my bonehead!!!!

Sorry to hear that. I will add him and you to my prayers. Take Care!

I am fine, actually the jump was awesome so I was way jacked-up! I was jumping with a super Freefly chick. I was doing barrel rolls and orbiting. We were done with the planned dive by 9000 so I flew over to her and she grapped my armgrips then did a "T". I was next and as I did it the backend dropped out, she let go and did a sweet backflip into bellydown. So I didn't notice the slightly bruised chin and broke helmet for at least 30 mins. I made two more jumps after that too.

Yesterday one my first jump which was an awesome jump I had a super hard opening with a brand new sabre 190. The risers smacked me in head and cracked my new bonehead mindwarp on the side with my Protrack. It crackede from the base in the back all the way to the dytter hole. God I hope Bonehead replaces it. I only had 10 jumps on it. I was lucky A) It hit the helmet not my skull an B)my Protacker was untouched. I was going to buy the Bonehead fullface, now hmmmmmm. If they take care of me it is a done deal. Has anyone else had a problem with their Mindwarp?

Way to go!!!!!!! It only gets better I did AFP 10 & 11 on Monday, AFP 12 on Tuesday, and then wrapped up the week with AFP 13-15 on Saturday. I started with my first tandem on July 8, 2000. It seems like it is taking forever (so close but yet so far - hmmm kind of like groundrush). Once again "WAY TO GO"!!!!!
-
Olav Zipser, Rook Nelson, And Mike Swanson representing the USA won the Freefly Gold Medal at the World Air Games in Spain. Congrats!!!!!! P.S. I have fortunate to have had Rook as my instructor for AFP jumps 1,2,& 6. He rocks!!!!!!!!!

I like Mouth's point of view. I don't think anyone is saying if you CAN'T continue to jump due to a "good" reason you are a whuffo. But just because you took the ride does not mean you get it. Blue to You, JB
-
Sounds good to me Mouth but I am "way to into" skydiving.
-
What if we call the one time tandem riders- "ONE TIME WONDERS".....cause I wonder why they never come back...
-
AGREED!
-
I think I'll agree with that but just to keep it interesting....If they really got "it"how could they only do a single tandem.....It seems that if they would only go on the amusement ride (1st tandem) they don't get it....Shouldn't it be deeper than that?
-
Uneducated my ass! I would bet cash money(no better yet) jump tickets that you are far more educated with regard to the safety issues relating to skydiving than some ego-driven(I have a degree I am better than you) buttwipe. I guess it is okay because you know what he will never know. HA! You get the last and best laugh! LOL -JB

Speed- You are right being a skydiver does make it different but why would a girl want to be with a guy who would be affected in such a way?
-
You and me both Kevin.

I can't understand why a guy would be intimidated by a skydiving chick. In my eyes what a catch!!!! I can't put into words how cool it would be to share flight with the most important person in your life.

I think the relative wind is the key. On the Base the relative is less so the pilot chute looks like it is thrown out harder than in a skydive where the relative wind catches it "faster/harder". IMHO

That is such a sweet reply!
