Ok, so she only pays for his college tuitions? Everything else, you support yourself? If yes, then why does she forbid to skydive (specially when she did that herself)? Seems to me like shes being a selfish control freak for hell knows what reason... I say, do it behind her back dude, it's your life, you deserve to do what you want.. How does paying for college tuitions allows a parent to control the childs life and what he does for fun (specially when it's not a bad activity in any way), so what if you provide him with some money, it doesn't mean you can totally control every bit of his life, where's the frigging ethics in that?!

I don't get it, if you support yourself and get your own money, why don't you just start skydiving and don't tell anyone? Or is your mother following your every step? To be honest, it's your frigging life, stand up for yourself and do what you want, not what she wants. "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

There's a thing called BASE jumping.. "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

Weird, as far as I've read here, many skygods here scream and shout that 200 jumps are not enough and that someone is most likely going to kill himself/herself (not to mention you don't know what kind of preparation he did)... Anyway, have a good flight mrbiceps

I thought you permanently quit skydiving? "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

lol ok "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

To them it's a stunt mate, you just need to accept that and get over it.. "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

Feels good to be on your own doesn't it? "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

Man those burbles are nasty.. "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

There are guys much heavier than that who fly 100sqft+ high performance canopies and land them no problem.. Off course, the skill difference is immense, so it's an odd comparison. But really, how hard can it be to nicely land a huge student canopy? Get some 270-300 student canopy, turn it into the wind and flare at the right time... It's all about your flare actually, time it right and you will land good. "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

Shit is my 6666 confession I am secretly in love with a dot commer who may remain nameless for now... Hint There is non... 6666 For the lazy bastards. "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

ok im new here so maybe I have no cause to speak on this matter but I've seen this response from several people on several different topics. I may be new to jumping but im not new to the internet or extreme sports (street bikes racing/stunting, scuba -advanced rescue certified, mountaineering, white water kayaking, etc) and it pisses me off to have people post things like this on a board that is DEDICATED TO LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE SPORT. This is like telling people to learn gun safety by shooting a lot. Nothing can replace experience, this is true, but when people come asking for help it is ridiculous to basically tell them to fuck off and go learn it themselves. *EDIT* shit, nevermind, I just realized the response I qouted was not meant to be towards the original poster but a reply to someone else instead. Sigh... Cant you read? I'm not telling him to fuck off and learn everything himself... I'm asking how in hell did he manage to brake himself with a huge ass forgiving student canopy? "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

LOL "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

If you could read better, maybe then you would notice the question marks "?" at the end of my sentences, which indicate that I do not state something, but question something... Anyway, yeah off topic stuff. Sha, best bet I guess is to talk to your instructors about your problems. "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

Thanks, I love that helmet too. Seeing as that you know so much about how I fly in the air without ever seeing me, you must be some badass skygod oracle! "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

wow dude, I bet it makes you feel real good doesn't it? "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

Please enlighten me then. "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

Seriously, hard landings on big ass student canopy? How? Unless you're jumping during a storm or you don't know how to flare or you do some nasty low hookturns, how can you brake yourself with such canopy? "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

I just don't get it, how can you have a hard landing (in which you would hurt yourself) on big ass student canopy, unless you're weight is like 120+kg, but your isn't, so what's the problem, do you forget to flare? "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

How do you like the Safire2, if you jump it already, why not buy another one but a smaller size? "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean
