repeated level 4 twice due to relaxation and performance anxiety issues. my instructor worked with me on breathing exercises and stressing that having fun is the most important part. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

i wear slider shorts under my clothes/ jump suit. they are in the baseball/ softball section of places like Dick's or Sports Authority. the padding around the upper legs helps. also are you sitting in the harness when under canopy or hanging with your legs straight down? talk to your instructors, they'll be able to give you some pointers on how to be in the harness for more comfort. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

I'm New, looking for the right jump
countzero replied to kashton's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
did the amusement park thing and decided to try skydiving myself a few years ago. it's highly addictive. being in austin you're close to some great dropzones. i'd say contact them with your training and 1st jump questions. or better yet go out there hang out, watch, and ask questions. in my short time as a jumper i've always been able to find people willing to share info and help me learn more. best of luck! diamonds are a dawgs best friend -
advertising dollars. if there is any kind of audiance for a sport, game or activity and the network can sell the spots, you can bet someone will broadcast even the most boring crap. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

Quote Could someone please give their view as to why one might opt for a traditional 9 cell, other than very conservative pilots and crw dogs? Quote in my view, if i came back after a few years, i'd rather get my skills back up to par on a traditional canopy than going straight to an elliptical and possibly getting injured going too fast too soon and ending up on an injury induced lay off. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

in that case i recommend the dave ramsey program. lots of good info on turning financial situations around. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

people who don't use turn signals. also if you're going to cut me off in the left lane and not use your signal, at least step on it a bit to get up to left lane speeds. when cashiers put the bills and reciept in your hand before they give you the coins. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

jumping near I-10 and the grand parkway?
countzero replied to countzero's topic in Events & Places to Jump
one of the guys my work lives out in katy, tx. and says he keep seeing canopies in the air on saturdays north of where I-10 and the grand parkway intersect. the first time he told me about it i just thought it just might be a demo for a new neighborhood or something. but he says he's seen them 5 weekend in a row. anyone know anything? is there a new place to jump in the houston area? diamonds are a dawgs best friend -

IMO- you go from student to novice when you get you A liscense. going from novice to intermediate is alot harder to pin point, as there are many factors to consider. like skill set, continued instruction, and currency. plus it probably happens more than once in a skydivers jumping span, if they branch out into different disciplines. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

Skydiving: you screwed with my priorities in life ...
countzero replied to c1sc0's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
i backed out of going to Voodoo Fest last year so i could put the money i would have spent on hotel ect. toward gear. when i was a student my car got totaled, i took the insurance pay out and bought a beater 90 celica for $1,500 and used the rest toward AFF jumps. my tax rebate is going toward a new canopy. anytime a whuffo tells me how much thier new car, computer, tv ect. cost i immediately think of how many jumps it equals. diamonds are a dawgs best friend -

0:5:0 1 solo (got on a tandem load that was on a 5 min. call as soon as i got to the DZ, awesome), 3 2-way drill dives (including some no contact flying), 1 horny gorilla. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

then- had just done my AFF level 3 and completely obssesed with jumping and learning more about jumping, single, working at a good company. now- 154 jumps, still obsessed with jumping and learning more but it's a more skills focused obsession, single, working in a better postion at the same company. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

regular jumps- 5k break and track, 3.5k wave off and pitch, 2.5k do i have a good canopy. ferris wheels- 7k break if we've held it that long, 4k wave off and pitch, 2.5k do i have a good canopy. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

i know germain, miller, ect. type courses cost a certain amount. but i'm interested in the cost of basic canopy coaching on a more individual/ local level. like if i want to learn more RW, FF, or CRW skills it cost the coaches jumps plus pack jobs. is canopy coaching charged the same way? diamonds are a dawgs best friend
