    2009

    I had 10 jumps in 2009. Be sure to include those.
  2. nope no hard opening..I was trying to look at the windsock, but regardless the plan was to land west and I knew that, but I still landed east for some reason. The scary thing was that my brain basically shut off for 5 seconds and did the opposite of what I was trying to do...
  3. The other day I turned into my final approach at 500 feet and I suddenly FORGOT where I was in my pattern. I absolutely didn't know what to do so I made the "decision" to do a hard 180 and landed opposite direction downwind... luckily I was the only one in the sky..WTF :(
  4. I'm suspecting this is a troll... most people over 400 lbs seem to intuitively know not to jump out of airplanes
  5. also be sure to have health insurance before you start because you're definitely going to break a few ankles along the way!
  6. 1. Eat less than 3000 calories per 24 hours 2. Walk or run 5 miles or more per 24 hours 3. Wait 1 year 4, Skydive
  7. You might have to just start out with BASE jumping and skip skydiving altogether.
  8. I have 2 jobs and I still credit card 1/2 my jumps! woooo!!!
  9. Jump with a bucket of KFC and see how many pieces you can eat before you pull.
  10. You should just give up now. Jumping solo is so boring.
  11. Not to be rude, but if you're as much of a brat as your post suggests I'm not surprised no one wants to hold your hand.
  12. no article..just the picture in a slide show for pics of the day or something
  13. Attached is a photo of Felix Baumgarter from today's New York Post. Caption reads: "Felix Baumgarter works in the air over the Perris, CA. desert where he jumped from a plane at 26,000 feet in order to test the chest pack and full pressure suit."

  15. I was watching a show about air force one the other day and it made me wonder... Do you think they have an elite tandem master on air force one any time the president is on board? Seems like it would be a good idea, no?
  16. The only thing that annoys me is that everyone thinks it's so easy to do, but it's like the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. "Don't you just fall? What's so hard about that?"
  17. YEA someone do that! That would be such good publicity.....
