Anyone know if there is a database similar to the FCC tower database (but for Canada)? Nathan

I'm wondering what everyone on here uses, and how they like it. I've searched the forum, and checked out a few different brands, but I figured i'd ask you guys. Could anyone post exactly what you have, and how you like it for comfortability AND protection (getting to sketchy exits/climbing/hiking/wearing for long periods of time/wearing in the summer/etc). So far i've heard the Dainese and the High Velocity are pretty good. Think I could get some pros/cons of each from the people that own them? Also, Tom, I saw that you really preferred the Dainese jacket. Which one did you get? Thanks Nathan Nathan

Yeah.. and if money is really tight you could always go static line... it's a lot cheaper! Nathan

hey blackfox.. i somewhat see what you're saying. I am a college student also (freshman). There aren’t very many things at all I could see myself doing for the next 20 years. Actually.. I can’t think of any. I'm studying computer science right now, but as I said, I cannot think of a job I could do for the rest of my life. As much as I would love to drop out and skydive/BASE all the time(trust me, this would be NICE), I have had a minimum wage paying job, and it sucks. I realize that I cannot support myself and do the traveling/jumping I want off of $5/hr. That's why I'm still here, and why I’ll stay. College graduates usually make much more than a person without a degree (not in all situations, but probably most). I’m not going to say: “Stay in school .. blah blah blah.” There have been a lot of points brought up in this thread. Many say: “Stay in school, It will benefit you in the long run.” I agree with this statement, but I also somewhat agree with karenmeal saying: “if you don’t know what you want to do, take some time to figure it out.” I guess what I’m saying is you need to make the choice that will best benefit you. My personal choice is to stay in college and graduate with a degree, that way I am in a much better position to do what I want. No matter what though, I think in most cases it would benefit you more with a college degree. Nathan

Please PM. Thanks, Nathan Nathan

not a C++ guru... but PM sent. Nathan

Hell ya. That's what i'm talking about! lol Nathan

Thanks Tom. That helps a lot! Time to get started .... Nathan

I just started skydiving ... and i want to develop my skills to help me for when I start BASE. I realize there are a lot of necessary pre-requisites before starting BASE (mainly skydiving experience), and i'm not trying to rush anything, i'm just trying to "well-prepare" myself. I'm looking into buying my first skydiving rig, and I was told by a local BASE jumper to get a lot of practice on large, 7 cell canopies if I want to get into BASE. I am 5'7", and weigh 145 lbs. I'm wondering what size main would best help me to learn skydiving, and help develop skills necessary for BASE. I’m also wondering if I should start out with this canopy and what not. Thanks in advance. Nathan

Tom, I was wondering if you could email me the updated copy. My email is nathanpertuset@hotmail.com. Thank You. -Nathan Nathan

Hey.. Good job on the video! I really liked it!! Nathan

Thats really cool. How did you guys get started with it... just decided to see what you could do and how much fun ya could have in high school? Nathan

Are you guys inviting to new comers that would like try it?? Nathan

I was wondering how often you guys go out to Moab.. I've never heard of rope jumping until i saw the Moab video. It looks like it would be amazing. I would love to try it! Nathan
