Actually 2 of us were diving out and there was only Greg with the new jumper as linked base. I actually left after a FFer. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

Yeah, we did and very few of the FFers managed to get anywhere near the formation. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

We did a BFR yesterday with mostly freefliers. OMG, it was amazing to look at the videos because so many of them were so flat on their bellies just because their normal jump position is not arched. I think it is good to be able to do a little of it all just to stay safe. Just remember if you are over the formation backsliding will help also think BIG as you slide back. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

Should you wait between cut-away and reserve ?
mouth replied to lintern's topic in Safety and Training
I'll jump in here since i had an interesting mal last weekend. I threw out my PC and waited for the usual slowing I usually feel...nothing. I looked over my shoulder and could see my PC inflated and as I did so I rolled a little left just in case the bag was caught in my burble. Still nothing. Because I saw my PC inflated I pulled my cutaway and then reserve handles. I don't really remember giving it much though except saying to myself something is wrong and I want it off of me. I'd like to think that if I had seen nothing I would have gone straight for my reserve but I don't know because it was REALLY fast. Realize this was all within a few short seconds as I was still at terminal. My reserve opened beautifully and more on heading than my Sabre2. I only have one bruise to show for my ride and that was frin the harness slipping a little on my arm. I think the biggest thing you need to remember is to: PULL PULL at the ASSIGNED ALTITUDE PULL STABLE That way you have less chance of having a mal and more time generally to deal with it. Note that a high speed total you only have about 6-8 seconds in which to make a choice. Do something. One point to note on my reserve is the size. I weight about 140-145 out the door with everything. My reserve is a PD 126R while my main is a 135. Not that much of a difference and neither are overloaded. Maybe one of you guys can add to the wing loading factors on a reserve as I know wing loading ratio has lots to do with the opening characteristics of any canopy but can't explain it. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit. -
10.75: 12: 1 bottle 12 jumps at a $129 boogie cost me $10.75 each. 12 fun jumps learning how to do transitions from a sit and a little belly flying. Some were good and well, some I should have stayed on the ground. I owe the bottle for my rigger who saved my tail when my pin came off my bridle. Not my first cutaway BTW but I'd have to say having my pin come off and stay seated in the closing loop is a first for most people that saw it. Check all of your stuff.

I remember when she first became a moderator. WOW, time has flown. I agree she has given some really good advice through the year (Nazi Canopy Bytch) Thanks Lisa and Thanks HH for making a good choice in making her a moderator. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

I totally freak out in the tunnel. I made sure my coaches knew of my very real fear so generally we stayed close to the net. When we did got too high I really concentrated on looking at my coach. The time or two I freaked out I closed my eyes and ARCHED. Once I was back down I was ok. Kirk and all the Airspeed guys were very considerate of my fear and by the time I left I really had a much better grasp on my fear too. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

No haircut; it's just pulled back into a (quite long now) ponytail in that pic. I still have the full-on Manson look on call at a moments notice. I'm really glad you didn't cut it. I didn't think I'd like it when you frist started growing it but now I REALLY think it becomes you. I simply can't imagine you without it again. I like Katie's long too. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

I find it funny that the first thing you look for is a ring. A ring is easliy removed. That said I actually wear my grandmother's wedding band on my ring finger of my left hand and no I'm not married.

That is such bull Q-dog. Stick to your guns girlie. If you want a nice funny guy that is a hottie then you shouldn't settle for any less. At least you KNOW what you want. That said I have 3 puppies because I pretty much agree with you. At least you can keep looking if you want after you get your puppy. I love you Mouth!! Yeah, what she said. When you find him see if he has a brother!!!

I just got off the phone with Bytch. she is hanging in there. Staying at the Drop Shop without power or anything but she has warm beer so she says life is good. Her spirits seem high thankfully and she has salvaged a few things that are meaningful to her. Somehow I just can't imagine loosing everything and being as cheerful as she was. She is a much better woman than me. Lots of hugs Lisa and Denise. You guys hang in ther. Lisa -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

Sorry i can't sneak down that w/e either. Sounds like fun though so I hope to make the Nov party. Hugs to everyone there. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

BEAUTIFUL, but you already knew that. So what was the occasion? -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

You know we talked about this possibility but actually seeing it in print hurts. You know that anything you need will be forthcoming all you need to do is ask. Since your phone doesn't seem to be working just know I'm lovin' you bunches. Hugs, Lisa...the other B*tch -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.
