Hey, going too slow at this point is better than going too fast. Maybe you finally got it, but since you're a girl maybe need a tighter suit. What's your body type like? Or maybe you got it, and you're just trying too hard to have what you were taught was a picture perfect body position, pushing out hard on your legs causing you to get big and stay slow. Just remember that it's easier to go fast than it is to go slow, but you can do more things easier when you're flying slow, so going too slow is better than going too fast. Just fly a little "smaller" from now on, and know that you CAN go slow when you want to. What you've been taught is good body position is only to give you the basics. Now you need to learn that it's more important to do whatever is needed to accomplish what you need to do. The ability to think outside the box, imho, is 95% of what makes a good freeflyer.

I'd keep it. Mine is my family crest, and I got it when my grandparents died. It's a tribute to them and all my family, before and after. Family is something you don't give up, and I wouldn't trade my everyday reminder of that for anything. Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.

I'm not sure if this has been posted cuz I didn't look through the whole thread...but check out the DVD of Adrenaline Rush. It explains the whole thing, and has some cool freefly/BASE footage too. Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.

Wot! I can't do head-down for sh1t - usually end up on my back and find it impossible to transition (cartwheel into headdown from sit). Maybe it's because I started on my feet because it's supposed to be 'safer' What's the best way to get into headdown? Head up is much more badass than head down. How many jumps do you have? And I agree with Paige about coaching. Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.

5 more hours of work today, and 4 tomorrow morning...then I'm off to.... 1. JUMP (main priority, I'll be at beautiful Tecumseh) 2. Maybe go see Batman or some other movie after jumping is done....I doubt it though, I'm sure I'll be sucked in by the dz scene.

Personally, I think the safest way is to roll back onto your back and then backtrack away, but this can get nasty if you don't have a half decent back track. This is what I'm talking about in the previous paragraph. This is caused by one thing, and that's poor backflying/backtracking skills. If you ask me, you should look out for #1 and get some coaching for your back track. After all, if you're tracking away from them like a bat out of hell, then you don't have to worry if they're falling like a rock or not moving at all because you're at a safe distance. If you're concerned about slowing your fallrate, getting some coaching and flattening out your back track will break any concern you have there, not to mention you'll be more than slow enough once you barrel roll onto your belly. No matter what, corking to your bellies and then tracking away is a bad idea, especially if you're working close together. My advice: Get some coaching on both your backflying and your back tracking. You'll find out later that these skills are extremely useful in every skydive. Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.

I do this all the time. I leave money on accounts at dropzones I know I won't be visiting in a couple months, leave money in my jumpsuit, in my glove compartment of my car, etc.......all just so I can look in a pocket or something and say "Wow, I have more money!" or "Wow, I only owe this dz 20 bucks instead of 200!". Does anybody else do this, or am I alone on this one? I think it's my best method of keeping myself from spending money until I get to the dz.

I second that. Cedric has been nothing but helpful and prompt with me, and I couldn't be happier with my suit. Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.

The "rush" to downsize simply for the sake of downsizing is nothing more than an effort to look cool. Newer guys in the sport (especially around the 200 jump mark) have a tendency to feel a need to be "special" or "unique". They want to be labeled as a prodigy, and they want to make a name for themselves in the sport before they are ready to support that name with real skills. They want to feel like one of the top dogs, and to do so, they get similar gear, try similar jumps, and of course, get similar canopies. The fact of the matter is, I think newbies look cooler under a proper wingloading than they do under something they're not ready for. That person may not have a 300 foot swoop, but at least I know that they're honest with themselves and others about their skills, and they're not going to kill me because they tried to impress me.

Besides the nasty thought of a premature, there's one other thing you could consider....... Imagine what will happen to your rig (or more specifically the materials on your rig) if you lay it out in direct sunlight for an extended period of time. Something to think about.

Okay, I got to fly it this weekend....so here's my analysis. I did have one problem with it. The leg material came out of the stitching on one of the ankle cuffs before I jumped it. I had a friend of mine skilled with a sewing machine looked at it (Thanks Meili!
