    I agree the bigger door of the caravan is much easier to launch 4-way from... as for your drive... it could be worse considering what my wife does for training weekends... That definitely puts it into perspective! She definitely travels a LONG way to train. But it is worth it! She has a great team, great facilities, and great coaching. I got to jump with Tristan when I did a pickup team at the last MESL meet. It was an awesome experience. The girls on Tenacity have a lot of talent. I know our team isn't in contention for the gold at Nationals, but I think Tenacity is going to give any team a run for their money. Kim Mills USPA D21696 Tandem I, AFF I and Static Line I

    Awe come on... its not so bad... these 4 managed to pull it off on their first jump of the day... nevermind, none of the other groups I filmed successfully did it the rest of the day... and that Niklas Hemlin was in the outside Center position... but come on... its not so hard... Our exits ended up working out pretty well all things considered. But I will be glad when we are training from the Caravan this Sunday. Niklas wants us at dz at 7 a.m. Meaning I will be up at 3:00 a.m. UGH! I think maybe heading out Saturday night might be a better option! Kim Mills USPA D21696 Tandem I, AFF I and Static Line I

    I use soap. Dove or Oil of Olay. With a wash cloth. I always thought about the pouf things having all my dirt/exfoliated dead skin still on it (even with a good rinsing). Kim Mills USPA D21696 Tandem I, AFF I and Static Line I

    :6: I made 5 training jumps with my 4 way team. Our Caravan was off doing a demo for the weekend so we had to jump from King Air - making 4 way exits a little more difficult. Damn that is a small door. BUT the ride to altitude was quick - thankfully since we were packed in like sardines. I landed off on my second jump. for first off dz landing at Start. Boy oh boy was it a tight area I landed in. Got in an awesome 6 way hybrid for my birthday jump. Woohoo! It was fun. Congrats on the 100th Jesse! Wish I was able to stick around and partake in some pieing!!!! Edited to add photo of my fun landing. X marks the spot. Kim Mills USPA D21696 Tandem I, AFF I and Static Line I

    Happy Birthday John! (Sorry a little late. I am behind in my forum reading) What a way to celebrate a birthday! I am sure the sky missed you as much as you did! 0:0:0 I had a crappy weekend... but this week is certainly looking up! Kim Mills USPA D21696 Tandem I, AFF I and Static Line I

    Who is your target audience? Maybe you should address this to that particular person. I see people with Go Pros at 50 jumps all the time. I don't agree with it at all, but not my drop zone to make the rules. I wouldn't pull off a load... unless it somehow compromised my safety. Kim Mills USPA D21696 Tandem I, AFF I and Static Line I

    We could make that happen But you don't know what I voted!! Kim Mills USPA D21696 Tandem I, AFF I and Static Line I

    Good discussion. Since students tend to talk to each other they usually walk away with the same interpretation of what it is being taught. There is a lot of misinterpretation amongst students; sometimes there is bad information given by Instructors. Neither are good. Kim Mills USPA D21696 Tandem I, AFF I and Static Line I

    Bodybuilding.com is much like Dropzone.com. Full of people who may have gone to a gym once, but not exactly full of people who are serious about it. That is awesome!!! Kim Mills USPA D21696 Tandem I, AFF I and Static Line I

    I just saw these guys at a local club a month or two ago. They were opening for Uncle Kracker. Good show... talked to the bass guitarist for a while after... cool folks. Kim Mills USPA D21696 Tandem I, AFF I and Static Line I

    I am guessing that skydiver guys with whuffo girlfriends/wives get less a week than the whuffo guys with skydiver girlfriends/wives get more. Thus making us skydiving chicks that much better of a catch!!!! I voted as if I were in a relationship... maybe I should have voted other too... sorry to skew the polls!

    Oh no...I know exactly how I screwed up and my instructor and friends pointed out what I did wong and why I should not do it. But still what was done was done.....so who wants to massage my sexy Persian ass? And remember use both hands! Based on your narrative of a PLF my advice remains the same.

    No mom I'm making my flat turns at 200ft and no lower, some times one 360 on the base to get down to 200ft...I've noticed it helps me better sight the wind line and then I line up to where I want to land and let her ride in. What happened was on my high solo I flared a bit high and instead of PLFing on my hip i pushed my legs a little forward squared up and landed....with a little thud...on my but. So I bruised it a little. Nothing major just a pain in the ass...you know me. I strongly suggest you ask for advice and training on how to do a proper PLF.

    : 7 : Competed in Mideast Skydiving League (MESL) this weekend with an awesome pickup team. We did quite well and I am happy with that. It was awesome jumping with a fellow dz.commer and I feel like I made a couple of really good friends over the weekend. for wearing weight in freefall for the first time.

    Congrats Jesse! I was out at Start this weekend with the course going on. Make sure you bring that beer for next weekend! Let's see for me. :2:no beer (yet) Only 2 jumps in this weekend. One was a drill dive with the coach of our four way team. He is recommending I wear lead. Grrrr.... the other was an awesome 14 way speed star out of the King Air. Fun times the whole weekend despite crappy weather. Kim Mills USPA D21696 Tandem I, AFF I and Static Line I
