Key word. "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

Don't be disappointed, you perceived a problem and you dealt with it successfully. . . Yes it's a rather high cutaway to jump number ratio, but so what, you are alive and uninjured and that's the goal. Question: do you pack for yourself? IF so: Learn to pack better! If not: Musta been bad body position Being an old-timer I still don't see why 'sport' jumpers don't pack for themselves. I understand the need for comp teams, vidiots and instructors who have time constraints, but for the average jumpers...to me it's like riding a motorcycle and not knowing how to put gas in it. "Here is some money, make my toy ready so I can go play" Since I've been cleared to pack, I have only paid for 1 packjob that I can remember. It was after a zoo raft jump that really wore me the hell out, so I gave the packer $5 and went and got something to eat. That opening sucked... but you pays your money, you takes your chance. Not talking about reserves, I still pay for those packers... for now "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

See HERE Go a couple posts down and JarheadNYC posts some of the parts and a partial write up that I sent him. I didn't have a chance to make an actual write up for it, but if you need any help, let me know and I will show you the way. You should be fairly decent at soldering if you're going to do this, don't just wrap wires and tape them, Its shoddy workmanship and will end up screwing up at the worst possible time.

Warm-climate dzs for a newer jumper (A lic)
theonlyski replied to skyflower_bloom's topic in Events & Places to Jump
Stop being a sissy, landing on snow is softer than landing on the dirt! I had a hard time getting my landings down, then it just sort of clicked and I wasn't having anymore problems. Don't kick yourself over it, most of this sport doesn't come naturally (hell, I did AFF 4 like 4 times). If you're using different canopies for jumps, that might be screwing with you as well. They will glide differently you have to use a slightly different landing pattern.

IIRC there is a certian percentage of your canopy size that should determine your PC size. I went with F111 on my new rig because it seems after talking with several very experienced riggers, the F111s don't 'bounce around' while trying to inflate. I could have sworn there is a video about that somewhere... but I can't seem to find it off the top of my head.

I am very great full for your post. I am going to order a set of dacron lines tomorrow and install them while I recover. My body cannot afford another one of those and I will do anything and everything to make sure it doesn't. Thanks again Make sure there is room in your container for the dacron lines. If its a pain in the ass to close with spectra, it will be much worse with dacron.

Best way to guage no wind landings
theonlyski replied to regulator's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
FWIW: I generally use the altitude that I feel I could kick someone in the head to start the first stage of my flare, keep it level and finish it off when the canopy wants to stop. On no wind days, if Im coming in a little hotter than usual, its not completely uncommon for me to pop up a couple feet, but still level off and stop around the same height.

I hope Skyline is as good as it looks like it has potential for.
theonlyski replied to turtlespeed's topic in The Bonfire
Couldn't... taste... difference. I think you meant to say Blue Bell Blue Bell Factory is only about 30 miles away from me. I've been there... Was a pretty good looking place back when I went.

BAHAHAH, i could'nt remembr what the damn thing was called i wanted to recommend it earlier! Trick is to make it as quiet as you can, with it still being heard by her.

I still can't taste the difference between Skyline and (I want to say Gold Star) chili. Topping or not, its not that great. My ex is from Lebanon, and she insisted that I eat some of both... neither were remarkable.

HOLY CRAP! Almost outed.....
theonlyski replied to SKIandSKY's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Jump 30: One of the local more experienced jumpers talked me into a 'Safe Sex' jump. I was dizzy for a little while and once he let go, I flew right off of him. It was great times!

Ever pass out while trying to pinch-off a hard loaf ?
theonlyski replied to stitch's topic in The Bonfire
Passed out, No. Screamed like a little girl, Oh Yeah - that shit hurt! Eat some fiber and drink more water, should help that shit flow smoother. You don't know my shit! Stay outta my Shit man! Thats what she said. Only at first Then the rufies and ether kicked in... no worries, and nice and relaxed!

I thought you were talking about Skyline Chili. Its an Ohio version of chili... but a horrible failure!
