That should put you Lufkin/Nac/Tyler area. Dunno if they are still jumping there but I started at ETSC with Lee Todd in Gladewater. Lot closer than Spaceland if you are where I think you are.

I think the poll is lacking the most obivous option... - because PeteJones was teaching me to SWOOP! The problem with people that have the PJ attitude is they just disappear from DZ.com and leave the rest of us to wonder. Eightateight8 anyone? It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude.

My V348 has a PD160R in it and the largest main I've crammed into it was a Sabre 170. I don't think you would get a 190 in there. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up. Watermelons do not grow on trees! ~Skymama

What kind of approach/turn? One course said not even worth using rears until 270+ but I've used them on 90s and 180s. It's a feel thing I suppose. I started by just landing using rears on a straight in and get comfortable with that. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up.

I'm no wingsuiter but I have quite a bit of experience on a Cobalt and I've had very little in the way of opening problems. I bought the canopy for almost nothing as it was described as bad condition. Nothing wrong with the skin at all but it Vectran relined and the lines were shot and had ate almost thru the brass slider grommets. I put a couple of jumps on those lines and it opened okay, nothing scary or out or weird but I was aware that the slider might cut a line. I sent it for a new spectra lineset and had Stane send me a new slider. Opens in that Cobalt staged opening every time. Now for my moment of dumb-ass; jumped it while it was trash packed once b/c I forgot to repack it at home. Slider up but collapsed, only one locking stow and the lines coiled in the pack tray, pilot chute barley cocked. Luckly I stow brakes walking in. I definately was not symetrical when it came out b/c I was looking back at at PC hesitation. Only a mildly disconcerting opening but definatley not a Sabre I slammer. 1/2 twist and I was not even sore. I'm only loading at 1:37 but I love my Cobalt and if you don't like your 135, give me a shout b/c I've been looking for one as I'd like to downsize. I demo'ed the Mamba and was not all that impressed but I think I needed to be at about 1.5 and I was about 1.3 on the one I flew. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude.

You do realize that all those ratings and jumps are going to cost you upwards of 15K, right? There is a semester or two right there just to get the privledge to work.

Tried a 22-way with an 8-flat base at Couchfreaks. Don't know the actual number because it was only one attempt. Brad at Skyventure might know as they were organizing.

You need to go over the sequence of events with your instructor and the rig that you are using. Students should not seek information from anonymous people over the internet. With out seeing the actual risers, toggles, etc... there is no one here that can tell you why. Your instructor can also demonstrate to you how to stop the turn or spin and get the wing level. That's why you have him/her available to you at this level of your training. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up.

It is this Saturday and jumping starts at noon. The jump planes are two guys who have experience dumping divers and are based out of Benton but they don't want to deal with non-licensed jumpers. The packing will be in the original hangar used in the film that was behind the lemonade stand in the movie. It is not our regular DZ but a sort of fly-in day at the airport. Pretty cool if you ask me. Someone was trying to get a D-18 running as a jump ship but I heard that it was a no-go. There are several in various states of repair out at Dead Cow International but in 3 years, I've yet to see any of them fly. Rounds would be cool, I know that the Powell's have a PC but I don't think anybody has "the cape". It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough.

Phraseology is key. There is a big difference when the mind is triggered with the word "cutaway" vs. "emerency procedures". I used to tell a student via the radio when turning them on final, "feet and knees together and prepare to land." Over the radio, prepare can be confused with flare so I quit saying it. Emergency procedures should trigger a response of evaluate then take action. Cutaway can only trigger one response. YMMV. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude.

Congratulations on your A license; the license to learn. Unfortunately nobody can teach you to fly a canopy in dynamic conditions via the internet. Please seek out and take a basic canopy course whereby qualified canopy pilots will teach you important life saving skills under canopy and evaluate your in-air manuevers and landings.

New at this but this weekend I hit the gates and was down the lane and popped it up. Was not sure what to do at that point so I just held it where it was and didn't get the speed bled off. Found out I can't run that fast but got style points I was told at that point, "you need to give some back to the canopy." You mention a carve, can this be used once you've popped it up or will you still get dumped? It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough.

:15:0 Jumped my ass off at SD Dallas. All FF. Thanks to Aaron, Brandon, Justin, Robert, Troy, Karen, and the 33 dudes name Chris for all the jumps and to Curt for the swoop shop talk. I'm sore but I have a week to recover.

Congrats on the A dude.
