I am considering buying the Havoc RW helmet. How many people out there use it and what are the good and bad aspects of it. The reason I am considering it is because the descriptions state that it will accommodate perscription glasses.

Saturday at SD Texas I had a partial canopy collapse then reinflated quickly. I flew through a dust devil. One of the guys that was behind me had a full collapse and fell for a little bit then his canopy reinflated long enough for him to land. Needless to say I was feeling pretty nervous. I didnt notice the dust devil till I was in it. Always keep an eye out for swirling dust and debris and avoid landing anywhere near them.

Skydiving has always been on my list of things to try at least once before I die. So when in 1994 I happened to drive past Pheonix Skydiving (now called Chicagoland Skydiving) and saw their sign with phone number to call about jumping. I was so excited about the possibility of jumping that I called them as soon as I got home. They told be it would cost $150. I said "thats all". Little did I know how expensive this sport really is. I was very cocky doing my first tandem. Didnt even bother to read the waiver. Just initialed and signed it as quickly as possible. I was more interested in the training and getting up to altitude. I just wanted to jump. finally jumped what a rush knew I was addicted right away thousands of dollars later here I am still jumping!

Try both SD Dallas and SD Texas. I have jumped at both and found I liked SD Dallas best.

My name is Robert Villalobos and I am a Network Administrator. At least thats what I do to pay for jumping. Its a lot of stress. Nothing like hacker movies make it out to be.
