  1. I have a fusion 210 that does the same thing. I just grab the rears as it is opening and have never had an issue. I asked my rigger about the slow soft openings.... and he replied " Its better than the opposite" Team Dirty Sanchez #455, Muff Brother #4197, SCR #14847, DPH -8, Dude #5150
  2. YES When I went through my AFF at Raeford Parachute Center.... Tony (DZO) would me verify by kicking legs/ small turns. Not just to make sure it was me he was talking to, but to make sure I was getting his radio calls. Team Dirty Sanchez #455, Muff Brother #4197, SCR #14847, DPH -8, Dude #5150
  3. I don't think this is the sport for you. 2nd thread started by you complaining about your training. Not to be a dick, but you are sounding kind of high maintenance. But what do I know, Im just a pissant! Team Dirty Sanchez #455, Muff Brother #4197, SCR #14847, DPH -8, Dude #5150
  4. Mike is a class act and runs a great DZ up there! I only wish I could get up there more often. Facilities kick ass... I mean a HUGE air conditioned packing area, nice pool, showers, everything! The king air climbs like a raped ape & mike flies it like he stole it! Team Dirty Sanchez #455, Muff Brother #4197, SCR #14847, DPH -8, Dude #5150
  5. I have a fusion 210 that I will be looking to sell around the time you get home. I think its DOM is JUL 2008 ish and has approx 150 jumps on it. It is in great shape and ill cut you a deal. Send me a PM if interested. Also I got a wings container with a 40% military discount on base price. Might want to check them out as well. I will be here in the states (FT Rucker) until mid Oct. Stay safe man. Team Dirty Sanchez #455, Muff Brother #4197, SCR #14847, DPH -8, Dude #5150
  6. As for those attending IERW at Rucker, Skydiving is no longer on the prohibited list from 145th or 1st AVN BDE. I just left there as cadre in 145th (flight school) and spent the better part of my tour there convincing the powers that be to change the list of prohibited activites. You can now jump, private pilot, scuba, carsurf etc.... The deal is if you get hurt and cant continue with training for over 6 months you will be considered for elim. (same goes for car accident/ personal issues) You will be more than familiar with the rules when you sign in. Team Dirty Sanchez #455, Muff Brother #4197, SCR #14847, DPH -8, Dude #5150
  7. If you are running 95s You cant pass on hitting up Raeford. Open 6 days a week, nothing bad to say about this place! Between there and the Farm two of my fav places to jump on the right coast. Team Dirty Sanchez #455, Muff Brother #4197, SCR #14847, DPH -8, Dude #5150
  8. I usually head up to the farm for fun, but a close 182 dz might be fun for short weekends... Im in the sandbox for a few more weeks but Ill stop by and check yall out in Aug. Team Dirty Sanchez #455, Muff Brother #4197, SCR #14847, DPH -8, Dude #5150
  9. Hey, how is she? I always liked her. I blame the Arizona public skool system... My names jay and I can count to potato. 3 Years ago I couldnt spell pilot, Now I are one. Team Dirty Sanchez #455, Muff Brother #4197, SCR #14847, DPH -8, Dude #5150
  10. Yes it helps you understand what inputs will do what to the lift/ drag or TAF (total aerodynamic force) of your wing. I do think you may be getting a lil ahead of yourself here, but if you are laid up say.. from.... trying to eat the step of a cessna... Watch videos on aerodynamics read books ask question. It wont hurt. As for me, knowing this stuff is how I can afford to jump. I am an Army pilot and I have to cram and relearn this crap once a year when I get an evaluation on how smart... or stupid I am. BLUF.. it helps to know whats going on overhead,,, weather its a piece of fabric attached to 3 grand of skydiving gear, or a rotor blade attached to 34 million dollars of helicopter. Just my .02 Blue skies and hope you heal fast. Team Dirty Sanchez #455, Muff Brother #4197, SCR #14847, DPH -8, Dude #5150
  11. know this sounds rough, but maybe you should try golf. Jumped with a guy that had an AAD fire because his shoulder became dislocated in a sit fly and couldnt pull his main.... not sure why he didnt go to reserve. He stated that it had happened before on a jump. Just my .02, but do what you want Team Dirty Sanchez #455, Muff Brother #4197, SCR #14847, DPH -8, Dude #5150
  12. Does this rig make my ass look big? Seriously though I recently went through about a 30 lb weight loss (210 down to about 178). The container fit wasnt my main issue as the big diff in WL. But I'm a guy and we gain most of our weight in different places.... like a beer gut. I think you should go with something used that you like now and if you learn to love it or want to spend more cash on lift tix get the leg straps shortened...alot cheaper than a new container. Good luck with the weight loss... if I can do it anyone can. Team Dirty Sanchez #455, Muff Brother #4197, SCR #14847, DPH -8, Dude #5150

  16. OUCH... you are one tough cookie.... Take a break and let your grill heal. Also talk with your dentist.... If you are in any way connected with an industry; medical, advertising, etc... you may be able to get a "professional courtesy discount" my wife got one for her braces and it saved us about 2 grand..... Never hurts to ask. Good luck and watch the pain killers..... too many makes it hard to poo By the way..... you type like my 3rd wife talked...... Very detailed and ongoing Team Dirty Sanchez #455, Muff Brother #4197, SCR #14847, DPH -8, Dude #5150
  17. Out at Skydive the Farm we usually have a nice young lady that has a massage table set up upon request. Pretty sure the going price is a buck a min. I think it is a great idea and never heard any complaints. Team Dirty Sanchez #455, Muff Brother #4197, SCR #14847, DPH -8, Dude #5150

  20. Yeah I was on a load with a guy at couchfreaks last summer when he lost like 400 bucks and about 10 lift tix when his pocket on his freefly suit blew out the zipper. I think they had it on vid and said it looked like he hit a bird filled w confetti when it flew out! Team Dirty Sanchez #455, Muff Brother #4197, SCR #14847, DPH -8, Dude #5150
