Should be interesting, I wonder how a swerving jumprun will affect separation..

I don't think I'm even getting that far. If everything I'm reading is correct, I should be getting a red light on the cradle just by having it connected to the computer, and clicking connect in the software (I did try rebooting). At any rate, I did also try it with the Protrack on and in PC (then pressing set to start the countdown), still no red light. Maybe I should just show the cable who's boss by giving it a bit of solo freefall time..

So I just got my Pro-Track and Jump-Track this weekend and am in the process of trying to download the weekend jump (yes singular, grumble) but am not getting anywhere. I put the PT in the cradle which is plugged into the serial port, clicked connect in JumpTrack and can't get the red light to come on. I think it might be me selecting the wrong com port, but think I have tried them all, so I was wondering if there is an easy way to figure out which com port it is, and any other tips anybody might have.

0:1:0 Damn, I was depressed about my weekend numbers, then saw that a lot of you were weathered out this weekend. Ugh, flew all day Saturday, and got one jump Sunday. BTW, add me to the list for SGC on Memorial Day

Congrats on both of your accomplishments, right now I'm in the other boat, I'm a low time jumper and full time pilot. Never stop learning -- Give them a sip of the darkside, and they just thirst for more.

Something cool to do with the skydiving equipment.

I love that video, very funny, wish I could have it on tape to swap out at the DZ..

Which category is the movie in? I couldn't find it -- Give them a sip of the darkside, and they just thirst for more. -
Around 200, I'll have to look at the brake lines on the next jump to see if they are too short also.. hrm. -- Give them a sip of the darkside, and they just thirst for more.

Thanks Polar, been using the over the hill method at altitude, and a couple of times for the final turn under the Tri. I'm not sure what I think of it yet. Ugh, more pullups..
-
1.26 assuming the gear weighs 25 pounds. I was pretty surprised because I was expecting it to turn a lot quicker and easier than the Tri would with the risers. Will have to see if the new PC makes a big difference -- Give them a sip of the darkside, and they just thirst for more.

It's all fun and games until someone throws the pilot chute... -- Give them a sip of the darkside, and they just thirst for more. -
I've started jumping a friends Diablo and noticed the front riser pressure is much higher than I was used to on the Tri (same size). I was wondering if this was just normal for a semi-elliptical canopy or just a characteristic of the Diablo. Also, does it get worse in more elliptical canopies? When jumped it it had a bungee collapsable pilot chute that I think was worn out (inflated halfway through a 90 degree riser carve), and I haven't jumped it since getting a collapsable. If this is normal, are there any techniques to getting more control from them or should I just do more pull ups? Thanks in advance -- Give them a sip of the darkside, and they just thirst for more.

For me, I would have to say its the combination of the two. I remember how before I started I had always had the itch to do it, then I showed up at the DZ to be a pilot, saw how much fun the people were having and how well they got along, and then stuck the proverbial needle in my arm and did a tandem. I haven't really looked back since. I didn't really participate in the social aspect for a couple of days because I didn't feel like I was a real skydiver until I did my pre-second IAF jump and therefore thought I didn't belong.. The two just go hand in hand -- Give them a sip of the darkside, and they just thirst for more.
