  1. To answer your question, YES you need three years experience skydiving and of course the 500 jumps to get your Tandem rating.... Consider this. At 100 jumps you can become a Coach! That means you can jump with students working towards their A-license. Normally that student will pay for your jump slot. FREE JUMPS!! Also, Once you get your C-license I believe you can become an AFF Instructor. Don't think you can make as much money as Tandem Masters do but you get to fly your own canopy and supposedly people get burnt out doing tandems....
  2. Whoever this guy is I have seen signs in cities that say he is not allowed!
  3. Couldn't really tell ya. Ive been to Elsinore but got so fucking wasted the saturday night I got there the last thing I wanted to do was jump on sunday. I was still drunk at like 3 in the afternoon..... I ended up jumping at Skydive SanDiego later that week and that was very nice!
  4. The winds are definitely something you need to be cautious of but I did 4 jumps there on a couple different days (around jump #36-40) and didn't have any issues.... Apparently about a month after I was there some chick had issues and landed off twice and the second time she broke her ankles and eventually had something amputated. I feel sorry for her but because of that incident you now need a B license and at least 150 jumps
  5. Skydive Hawaii seems pretty tough to beat. Anybody been in more beautiful jumping scenery?? Post your pics if you got 'em!!
  6. There is no difference. AFF 1 is AFF A. Except I think it goes AFF1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 OR AFF A, B, C, D, D, E, F......something like that
  7. The Pac 750 is the only plane designed for skydiving. I haven't gotten a chance to fall out of one yet but looking forward to that opportunity.... I'd say my favorite is the Cessna Caravan. Its the biggest single engine aircraft Ive jumped. But, anything big and fast is great. I think I heard somewhere that single engine planes are safer. Don't know if there is any truth to it but I bought into it..... Attached is a pic of Skydive Hawaii's Caravan.
  8. "He's not wearing a parachute"? "What is he some kind of banana or something"? LOL.....That was pretty good.... Is that a NEW show? It seems like its from the 80s.

    riddle

    He needs to average 90mph on the second lap, right??
  10. Was this guy username TOM123456? because I got somebody trying to scam me with that name, he is also from the UK.....
  11. Dude, take it easy. I was responding to somebodies inquiry about what happened to Travis Pastrana.... Pastrana did something stupid and USPA revoked his license. Sounds pretty similiar to what is being talked about, eh?
  12. Because they just made a huge comeback and aren't out of the playoffs yet....... They are jumping around because they get to play again..... I do, however, think that celebrating ridiculously after only winning a ALDS or NLDS is stupid. Celebrate when you make it to the world series and when you win the world series!
  13. Uhhhh. What the hell is that a picture of? Is that a politician, a gun, or a religion? Seriously, what the heck is that
  14. I don't quite understand what this poll is about..... On the Other Hand I refuse to buy anything that starts with an I. SAY NO TO IPODS, IPHONES, ETC.ETC.....
  15. YOU SUCK!!!!!! Would you really say that you are a fanatic about hockey? Would you say, you have excessive enthusiasm and intense devotion to Hockey?? The word FAN has lost its actual meaning IMO

    You blew that delivery
  18. I don't know where I heard this or possibly read this, but I was under the impression Travis Pastrana got his License take away because of that Jump.... Here is the link to that jump referred to : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-94i8YEeiIM
  19. Ill tell you how it has changed my life. I'm Now Poor!! BUT HAPPY!!
  20. I AGREE!! I do enjoy riding my bike without a helmet. But its just too risky with all these fucking idiots that somehow get Drivers License's.
  21. I got my own rig at jump #13. Had many troubles with it being new and a 210 in a rig made for 170/190. I had two or three people teach me but I really couldn't do it confidently until Jackie @ Skydive San Marcos actually took them time to explain it all to me and force me to pack it a couple of times. THANKS JACKIE! Since then I had packers pack for me during the day and the last pack job I would pack at home. So, 1 out of 4 jumps I'd pack myself...... I pack all of my pack jobs NOW to save money!
  22. Maybe I also should get a room? Who else is getting a room? The number 2 is spelled with a "W", JACKASS!!
  23. Sounds like we are both going to have our containers for a while......Hopefully I bump into ya someday. Im sure I wouldn't miss that beautiful rig, haha.....
