  2. welcome back! jumping rounds must've been interesting.. I'm sure you can handle AFF.
  3. good luck! I'm quite certain I was more scared than you when I started lol
  4. Great aerial shots of the city! the one of everyone dragging the Trojan Horse is pretty cool
  5. Sky's the Limit, East Stroudsburg, PA same distance, better DZ, huge landing area, and you won't get hair gel all over your rig like you would in Long Island.

  10. There was a thread recently about someone who noticed their AAD was set to some weird diagnostic setting? Was that one of these units by any chance?
  11. do i qualify to join the anvil bros if i'm 245 out the door? i can always put on another 10 or 15 lbs pretty easy if not.
  12. I'm totally pro-choice, but I have to seriously question why you would ever get a "late-term abortion," or worse yet, they apparently now are doing "reduction" abortions where they kill one of 2 twins...wow http://www.slate.com/id/2301322/
  13. go punch an old lady in the face or some shit bro that will prob do the trick
  14. I'm sure you can find a 210 pretty easily, no?
  15. Part of the reason I was out that long was b/c I also had no money at the time, but jumping again wasn't easy. I was almost as scared as I was on my first AFF jump. I knew I would go back and I couldn't wait to do it, but it was still terrifying. People that have to deal with more fear than others are likely putting themselves at higher risk, but I think they also ultimately get more enjoyment and satisfaction from jumping than all the hotshots who aren't scared at all. What a gyp that must be for them!
  16. I dislocated my ankle and broke the tibia on jump #10 when I was almost done with AFF. I'm already a nervous/skittish person (still am) and it's not exactly a confidence builder to land with your foot on backwards. It took me over a year to go back to the DZ. That first jump back wasn't easy lol. Best thing for fear is just to say fuck it and push through it. You will feel that much better when you land. Problem with Fear is if you let it make you freeze up it can ruin your day real quick so best bet is to ignore it and move on. Read Transcending Fear by Brian Germain and practice breathing on the way to altitude and after the parachute opens. The only thing that actually helps is jumping more and more often. I'm usually feeling good after the first 3 jumps of the day and I can start to relax a bit. I still land way down field almost every jump... Last thing you want is to freeze up again and break the other leg. And anyway there are way worse things you can break so count your blessings. P.S. Leave the metal in unless it is really bothering you. I still have my plate & screws and it's totally fine. Don't forget to be aggressive with your PT.
  17. dangit! sorry about that i did a couple searches
