a fullface saved my girlfriend from a possible broken nose while doing a sitfly. not from me by the way.

she's prego? I dont know. How many things can go wrong? Not just with this jump but with any jump.

I and a friend of mine made the trip to Thomaston to check out Skydive Atlanta. We were not disappointed. Although it was a holiday weekend and a bit slow it didn’t matter. We felt welcomed almost from the moment we arrived. We got through manifest in no time and were on the second load of the day. Their King Air gets up to 14 grand in about 8 minutes so don’t get to comfortable. They are very adamant about all canopies flying left hand patterns for landing which is a very good thing in my opinion. Although I didn’t have an off landing it wouldn’t be an issue because there is nothing but open fields for miles around the DZ. My friend who needed to do her A license check dive was met with nothing but enthusiasm from the staff to help her get it done. I was approached a few times from other jumpers organizing some skydives to see if I was interested. I didn’t get a chance to this time but I can assure you I will when I return again very soon. The packing area is huge. No waiting for an area of mat to pack on. A whuffo friend of ours who tagged along even got packing lessons for free. My only regret is that they are a 5 hour drive away. I guess I’m just going to have to wait until the next long weekend.

Nice Wings

Amen!

I'm not really sure, but I would venture to say packer error? The individual who stowed them is fairly new and isnt perfect? I'm not sure where youre going with this. Am I under investigation?

RSL worked perfectly. I hate jumping without one.

It was my own rig. I recovered all my gear and did six jumps the next day. I’ll try and post the video in its entirety. It’s going to be long so bear with me. The toggle was stowed upside down and it caused the break line to get hung up on some stitching putting me in a fast left hand spin. It’s plane as day on the video but I didn’t know what happened until my rigger recovered it. Should I notify the manufacturer of this issue because I would hate to have this happen to someone else causing them to get seriously hurt or even killed. Oh and yes I know now that I waited way to long before cutting away. I was very lucky. It wont happen again.

Stupid me thought I could fix it. I was either at 1000 or slightly above according to the video.

First cutaway under a rapidly spinning main because the toggle was stowed wrong(not by me). I chopped right at a grand. It only makes me love the sport even more. Is that weird?

Hope your ARGUS fires...oh what, thats not an option anymore

Its cool. Its been found, thank God!

I guess I could cut 650 dollars worth of flesh off the next driver I see.

Tranking number said they dropped it off at the house but nothing.

i bought miller light on my first jump on my Sabre 2 150. i was told yuengling would have been a better choice. what the hell?!!

I've put almost 30 jumps on my Wings that wasn't even custom built for me and I often find myself double checking to make sure I'm still wearing it after I exit. Its that comfortable even though it's not even broke in yet. This is my third container and I've jumped others but my wings stands out. Compared to the cost of other rigs I got mine at a nice price as well. I think my next container will be a custom built Wings.

So here it is. Ive been out of the sport for about 4 years now and I'm getting ready to start jumping again. I have my A license with about 175 jumps on a 170. Would it be safe for me jump a canopy that size first time out or should I go with something bigger?
