I have prescription Oakleys, but I don't jump in them. I jump with my God-given vision, flawed as it is. I was worried when I first started doing it, but I'm nearsighted, so the last 30-50 feet of final look clear to me anyway. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

Check out www.teamfunnel.com. All the free coaching (more like mentoring) you want. I'm sure some folks at dz's in your area will do the same. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

Ya know, there's much less effort in making them NOT WANT to show the place than there is in fighting them. Just ask yourself "What would embarass me if I was selling this apartment to a new tenant?" Then do it. Dirty underwear on the coffee table, unflushed toilets, rotten milk on the kitchen table, condoms, etc. You'd only have to do this for the first showing. There will be no more.

That's why they put the students on the front - so the instructor doesn't hurt himself. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

Surprise birthday present from my then-boyfriend. I told him he was nuts - there was no way in hell I was jumping. But I did, then we broke up and the money from the boyfriend-budget became the skydiving-budget. Ain't life great?! In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

Mine got painted at Summerfest '01 and they've been painted ever since. Purple sparkles in case you want to know -- and only on my big toes. The rest of my piggies are au natural. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

This is what happens when skydiving becomes more available to the "general public". We've always felt a little different from the rest of "society" -- here's proof. If we have a problem, we just take care of it. If someone in the "general public" has a problem, they run into court to tell a judge how they've been victimized.

Jump, dude, jump! That coach card could be worth some income, but even Tony's best suit won't make you any money. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal -

I have a home in FL and a trailer in IL. What does that make me? In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

The Dytter just sits in my locker and makes me sound cool when I say I have both. Really, I got the Dytter first, then the Track -- just never got rid of the Dytter. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

Same here. I have both, but primarily use my ProTrack to keep up with jumps so I don't have to log all day long. It's also kinda cool to see the details of the dive, however less-than-accurate they might be. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

You're definitely thinking in the right direction. I work two 14-hour shifts and one 12-hour shift each week. It's great to have 4 days off each week, but there's no room for anything in between. No evening workouts, coffee with the girls, beers with the guys, etc. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

This stuff works great. Stops the itching and dries up the blisters quick. You can find it at Walgreens. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

Crazy freefliers! We met a couple weeks ago at Deland. Glad to know I blend in so well with the crowd!

Nope. I'd recommend it. You can get some amazing deals that way. Skydivers tend to be honest and trustworthy, but you do still need to remember caveat emptor. If you can wait till fall before you buy, you'll get more selection and probably better prices. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

PayPal is reliable and secure. Just keep yourself a regular user. If you upgrade to Premier status, you'll have to pay to receive funds. Is HH on PayPal? In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

Glad you made it down okay, fudd. Congratulations on your first reserve ride -- BEER! Now let's hope you don't have any more. With so many possible mals, there are just as many courses of action. Low-timers (and High-timers, too) should definitely seek out the advice of your S&TA regularly. With some container lock situations, if you don't chop the main before you pull the reserve, you can actually cause the container to open and the main to inflate into/around the reserve. Obviously, that would not have happened in this case, but how would you know while you're hurtling towards the ground? A good training idea: sit through the first-jump course again. I try to do it regularly and always learn something new (or am reminded about something I forgot). In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

That is true. The optometrist cannot cut the lenses themself. But the optometrist will write a prescription, then mail it to Oakley (many dr offices are oakley dealers). Oakley will cut the scrip into the lenses so that you lose nothing, even in the curves. Be warned - it's very very expensive. My lenses alone cost me $300. The frames were $100'ish. But I will say they're the best glasses I have. Well worth the money and when you spend that much, you WILL keep track of them.
