I have the choice of two helmets, a Protec and a Z-1 fullface- with the Protec, I'll wear my glasses with a pair of over-the-glasses goggles, Kroops manufactured-- and my glasses fit up snugly under my Z-1's faceplate, no problem there-- However, I wear bifocals, which cause perception problems of their own, so I normally jump without the dadblamed things to begin with....

Which part of the dive do you enjoy more?
Brokeneagle replied to SkydiveMonkey's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
the anticipation of the exit itself and the overwhelming feeling of release/relief as I throw myself from the plane out into the gorgeous, ever-changing ocean of air where I belong....... then the freefall- still cautious under canopy yet, but learning to enjoy that, too- Brokeneagle.

NEVER miss Safety Day, Chris... for any reason, if you can help it- whether or not you jump, and I can vouch for that personally- - and be optomistic; bring two pair of gloves and extra layers, just in case of a usable sucker hole- got a fullface helmet? They can come in very handy on cool jump days...and flaring for a slide-in snow landing can be fun, too-- Brokeneagle.

Great shots, chopchop! looks like y'all had a blast- I see you've improved your flying skills even from when I met you! I have only lurked a friend's tandem; was not sure enough of my flying skills to get in there safely, so I didn't attempt to hook up- an' that WAS good belly flying fer a freefly freak- Brokeneagle.

I explain using the combination "have you ever dreamed you can fly?" and "it's the most beautiful sight I have ever seen, the earth spread out in front of my eyes, better'n National Geographic" method- for me, flying with my body's all I have ever wanted to do, as long as I can remember- I dreamed of flying constantly as a child growing up, even inventing in my dreams a little pill to MAKE someone fly- you take it, wait 30 seconds, flap yer arms and take off-- Brokeneagle.

but a better catch- measurements of liquids versus area to cover made no sense-- great job, Mark! Brokeneagle. I'm really very gentle, no matter what my kung-fu teacher says... he is giving me a reputation I do not deserve!

isn't that one o them thar FUBAR tube exits? or perhaps a zoo load in the making? The movie did have some awesome camera work to help balance out the unreality of the rest-

's a good theory on that perspective of thought about our sport, I wonder if he would mean to attempt to apply it to all that participate in dangerous/extreme sports, tho, for some of us do these things for very different reasons, eh?...

Welcome, Georgia diver! Glad you started jumping- now you'll know how good life can be! We're all learning, no matter what our jump numbers, so don't EVEN let that intimidate you- just make it a point to remember to always have fun, every jump- ask every question you can think of to all of us; we don't mind, most of us are friendly....'course, some of us are not- Brokeneagle.

We pre-registered, paid for it and went ahead and bought a ten-pack of regular tickets, along with my biplane ticket and our helicopter tickets over the internet; the pre-registration and prepay of tickets meant we had practically no lines to wait in- very good experience. Have a blast! Brokeneagle. I'm really very gentle, no matter what my kung-fu teacher says... he is giving me a reputation I do not deserve!

Oh, I dunno, Chaz- sometimes ya just get lucky and find your soul mate at the strangest places (insert home DZ here)... I think it depends more on what each person wants out of whatever type of relationship they're looking for... 'course, 's always better if someone's up front about their expectations, too-- Brokeneagle.

They should be/ usually are-- and skychicks can really enjoy the butt scenery too I highly recommend one find the Hellfish, Rodriguez Brothers, Muff Brothers and other assorted specialized groups for the best eye candy observances! GQ, for cash flow, 3000 should be quite fine; 2 years ago @ Quincy, I went thru 1100 cash w/no problems... Brokeneagle.

oh, yes, and also the ever-popular way to remember the order you pull your emergency handles on a cutaway- 'Pull the right handle first, 'cause it's the right one; then pull the left handle, 'cause it's the only one left.'

Sprite or Ginger ale if yer stomach's affected, saltines or toast as well-- anything your body is craving (for the most part) if yer stomach's ok- protein can be hard to digest, and fats can accelerate nausea- anything with vitamin C acceptable? Feel better soon- Brokeneagle. I'm really very gentle, no matter what my kung-fu teacher says... he is giving me a reputation I do not deserve!

...a book of world myth/fairy tales, with stories of how the Bunyip and other world mythical monsters came about, and excellently intricate, brilliantly illustrated improbabilities in stories from the Ukraine like crushed bread cursed by an old crone turning into brightly coloured patterned snakes.... never forget those illustrations- I pored over those stories for hours, reading by flashlight under the covers so my folks wouldn't see the light...

And would you be wearin' an altimeter on your chest strap, sir? If you do, DEFINITELY snug it up- mine is snug but no pinches-no altimeter on it-- I don't even need to loosen it under canopy to be comfortable in the saddle. Brokeneagle.
