  1. Excellent explanation of things. Thanks a lot !!! Less Bitching / More Jumping..... Please?
  2. yeah... and coach / AFF instr. rating... and a pilot license, and good driving record ... On serious note: 100 jumps is suggested to jump a balloon, this is due to the landing "wherever: :) (Aim for a "open spaces" beware of possible barb wires, that are impossible to see from further than 20 ft. It wont "fell" that much different from the airplane jump, except that there is no forward speed, it is quite and b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l. Check @ your DZ if anyone knows a balloon pilot, Sure enough there someone who does And have fuuuuuuun :):):) Less Bitching / More Jumping..... Please?
  3. This is my home DZ, and I go there every week. for about 1.5 years now. DZ gets lots of tandems in summer, but not once have I been "bumped from the load" or heard of anyone being bumped. As far as I can tell DZ is ran with good ethics and has very professional staff. Read some bitching here about "dusty and long ride to the loading/area" and "bad vibe for jumpers" - BS. The ride is a con for the DZ, but not even worth mentioning. And "The Vibe" depends only on us (skydivers) as the DZ / Staff is VERY "jumper friendly". Great / timely Rigging Services A+ VERY professional staff, that has no trouble "leveling" with new jumpers and explaining "stuff". A+++ Mile-Hi.
  4. ... Hm... 140 Jumps and having a trouble getting stable...(from whatever position / speed / rotation) Have not seen that before (not that I have seen much yet anyways ;). / Has anyone else had such a trouble??? (I had to repeat 2 AFF levels because of stability issues, relaxation was the key 4 me...) ... But again... That's AFF. Anyone else had such a trouble at higher jump numbers than lets say 20 ?????? P.S. Good Luck to you and thanks for posting! and Blue Skies! Less Bitching / More Jumping..... Please?
  5. Thank you very much guys, The place is awesome, Aircraft rocks! Bar right @ the DZ is very nice, ... I don't think you need much advertisement, so thank you once again. Truly sorry about your loss. :( Blue Skies.
