A freind of mine brought some of those back from Turkey, strange looking things, held together with a wee bit of thread, and utterly unsmokeable.. And yes they may smell like strange dope, but they don't have any effect at all. Ahem, not that I would know anything about that sort of thing -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

Firstly welcome to the forum. If your 'blackout' means you can't remember what happened, then we call it sensory overload, which is quite common. If 'Blackout' means you actually lost conscious, then its something a little more serious. Okay, assuming it was the better type of 'blackout' and you simply can't remember...stick with it, the 'blackout' periods get shorter as your confidence grows. As for being sick with fear, well all I can say is fear is good, fear can keep you alive when over confidence can kill you. You will become more comfortable as you progress, I was 'scared' a lot doing S/L, and subsequent progression, I took about 30 jumps to overcome the fear. I still get scared sometimes, mostly when I see things where people could get hurt, near misses etc. On ething that might help you is to fully discuss your fear with the instructors, they are used to dealing with this sort of thing. There will a whole heap of posts to follow this, once the US wakes up, and everyone will offer all sorts of tips and advice. Bea in mind that skydiving may not be for everyone, at the end f the day, if you are not enjoying yourself, find out what is terrorising you and deal with it, or try something else, its supposed to be fun. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

Hey jumpy the wee picture on the right hand side becomes clickable --I think--- when tha chat room is open. Or PM Slappie, and he might be able to sort you out. Slappie is in Texas so the chat room is normally open when he is awake--again I think, cos I'm not really a Pub regular. Hope this helps. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

It really does depend on how big your back yard is, and any obstacles located around it, and whether there are any ATC restrictions in place etc etc..... Looking at your profile you have relatively few jumps, I would stick to proper 'supervised' DZs until you have mastered the skills required to survive 'Demonstration' jumping like this... Try a search for the word Demo, Demonstration, and 'Pro Rating' etc.... -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

"Video came out a bit choppy but its down to 6.5 megs" The true "art" in making video for the net is to get it down to a realistic download size, whilst maintaining quality. This means you have to try out different codecs for different applications....Try Divx codec, or if if you can get hold it, a free encoder I used to like was Tsunami..... IMHO 50 megs is way too big for your average dialup user...
