  1. sometime ago i saw post that suggested jumping with a piece of paper or plastic streamer material as a tool to work on fall rate and proximity while on a solo jump. what kind of paper or streamer material is used? what size and shape should it be? any other tips on using this method to work on fall rate and proximity would also be greatly appreciated. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

  17. as at my exit weight i'd be following a similar downsizing progression, an option i've discussed with coaches at my DZ. is to get a container sized for a 150. that way it can fit a 170 now, a 150 later on, and a 135 much later. good luck on your gear search. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  18. i always wear my helmet. heck i put it on before boarding. because i wear contacts and closing my face shield prevents eye irritation if i have to pause on the stairs and get stuck in the prop wash while i wait for those ahead of me to get situated in the plane. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

  24. buy generic or store brands. shop at a dollar store for household items. buy meat in bulk packs use some and freeze the rest for later. if you like steamed veggies: don't buy the prepackaged steam in the bag kind, instead invest in an inexpensive steamer basket and cook fresh veggies. it's much more economical and healthier to boot. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  25. that's like asking me, "shiner or shiner blonde?" i like both equally it just depends on my mood which one i'd choose over the other at that moment. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
