it is what he wanted, so in the end , he got exactly what he wanted. sure, not a problem with them showing it, but to the degree they did was rediculous. it was played on every station, every 3 minutes, and i am sick of hearing about it at this point. I listen to talk radio, and i can't even listen to that anymore, because all they talk about is this thing. CLICK HERE! new blog posted 9/21/08 CSA #720

I have to agree. they distract my eyes and make it harder to see what all is going on. but i'm sure I will get used to them. CLICK HERE! new blog posted 9/21/08 CSA #720

Really, how important is water training?
shermanator replied to jaybwise's topic in Safety and Training
If you want to know how important it is, talk to some people that were lucky to survive before water training was a huge hit. go down to pacific skydiving center and talk to Will. I've never heard the full story from him, so i won't try to tell it, but he was lucky to survive. CLICK HERE! new blog posted 9/21/08 CSA #720 -

people would have to not be so lazy.. and they would save some money too. sorry, but packers are not a necesssity. when using packer, i treat them with respect, afterall they are human. but just becuase they are packers does not mean i should place them on a pedistole.

haha, I havent used my crowbar on a packer lately, I should probably pull it out of the closet. the crowbar , not the packer. As for teh sticker.. I'm sure that is something along the lines of... use a packer, who knows how its gonna open, get a crummy opening, kick a packer.. something along those lines. I personally would never kick my packer, that is far too nice. CLICK HERE! new blog posted 9/21/08 CSA #720

Skydiving Article - Interview Questions
shermanator replied to poesiekatje's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
1. I probably saw skydivers at demo when i was younger. b. My first jump was Oct. 14, 2004. c. I have about 280 jumps. c. 2. It is both a great love, and an addiction. Not just for the skydiving, but for the people, the friends, and the relaxation. I don't get an adrenaline rush when i jump, but a calmness. 3. Yes, there is defidently a connection between fellow jumpers, even if we have never previously met. An example, I was looking to take a trip to northern california to visit a friend, and needed a place to stay, I mentioned it on a skydiving forum, and within less than a day had an opening in a room of someone who i had never met before. It is just the way we are. Unfortunately, that trip never happened. 4. Yes, It is a subculture, just like any sport, rock climbing, motorcross, skating, etc. etc. 5. There is NOT a certain type of people that skydive. That is one of the things that I love about the sport. It is a mix of adrenaline junkies, and just people who want to live. When I go to the dropzone, I am having a good time with people who are of every social class, some who are engineers, entreprenuers, very low income, living in trailors on the dz, rich, poor, middle, and NONE of that matters. When at the dropzone, it does not matter who youare, or what you do, you are all friends. It is one of the best feeling in the world. 6. The nickname for non-jumpers is Whuffo. it is short for, 'why for you jump out dem planes'. first timer.. BEEEEEER. 7. My parents accept my skydiving, I have gotten my stepdad to do a tandem for his birthday. My girlfriend doesn't like it too much, but i was jumping before we met, so she deals. 8. There is the chance of death, yes, but it is everywhere. I could be in a college class and shot to death, or driving to the dropzone and killed in a car wreck. I guess, No, i didn't take them into consideration, because i wanted to do something for me. 9. Sure, but isn't there a bit of selfishness in everything? 10. I have not lost anyone, but i have seen a couple people injured pretty badly. one of my friends broke his neck,made a full recovery, another, is still in the hospital, but is starting to look better. Don't let this discourage you, these are experienced jumpers, who make mistakes, they become too confident. the last few months, i had heard of a few incidents that had occured in other states, they scared me, but once i made a jump, i was fine. 11. 12. Pilot Error. though in this sport, one can do everything right, and still die, or do everything wrong, and still live. . Lately, incidents have been very experienced jumpers, executing menuevers too low to the ground. 13. Yes, in a way. there are Belly flyers *relative work* who generally fly belly to earth, with others, making formations. the worlds record is a 400-way. that is 400 people connected in freefall. As well, Freeflyers, which is every position thinkable, mostly in a sit position, head down, and stand, they achieve faster speeds. They fly relative to others as well, and try to take docks *connect*. also, accuracy, which is under canopy, trying to land on a target. and swoopers, who 'swoop' across the ground as they land, trying to get as much distance as possible. 14. What goes into rigging a parachute? There is a LOT that goes into it. the reserve, for instance, can only be packed by a FAA certified rigger, and must be repacked every 120 days. they are very detail oriented when packing a reserve. also, there are also repairs that can be made. It is not a simple task. 15. What kind of equipment do you need to skydive? Are there certain brands you prefer? 16. I am a fun jumper, never been in the military. 17. I would not try to convince anyone to jump. I will just let them know how much I enjoy it, but also , that it is their own choice, and that they should not do it for anyone but themselves. 18. It is a feeling that I cannot describe vocally, let alone in text. It is relaxation, exhilarating, fun, all at the same time. The view depends on what type of jump I am doing, but can see for miles. Most people ask if it feels like a roller coaster, and the answer to that is NO. because the aircraft is already moving forward, when exiting, the jumper is also coninueing in that forward motion, so there is not a falling stomach sensation. as for hearing, just a lot of wind, though i have on occasion heard the yells of excitement from people i have been jumping with.
