  1. I think not being able to pack proficiently is often an indicator that the jumper has very little interest in their gear. This isn't a sport where you can neglect your gear. Packing produces a familiarity with your equipment, the way it functions, and how it's wearing. Pack for oyurself sometimes. It's important. I can't afford to buy pack jobs very often, and because I pack for myself on everything but tandems, I can do it in about 6 minutes total. That is definately worth saving $6 bucks. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  2. No. You should just put some gaffers tape over it to hold it in place while the switch is plugged in. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  3. Well done you two.......best wishes!
  4. Canopy (and slider), lines and links, is the way to remember what goes with what. Canopy, lines, links, and everything else is a container item. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

  8. That (with my minor modification) is the first intelligent thing I've ever seen you post. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  9. Yep. For me they're "training" jumps. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

  11. I like it. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  12. No, not exactly. If you were to work with me, you'd buy time for yourself, and I'd be happy to coach you. The focus isn't on me flying, it's all about you. I don't usually find the need to fly much in order to teach. Just the occasional demonstration of a technique. Coaching comes in many flavors too. If you were to show up and just want to lean how to back fly for example, and I were the instructor, I'd accommodate you as best possible (while also taking care of other customers that may be flying in the same block). I'd give you a little advice on technique, and the rules on safety. For more indepth coaching, including pre-brief on theory and technique, in air coaching and feedback, and a debrief session, we'd have to arange for more free time as that sort of coaching is not easily compatible with my duties as an instructor. I guess it depends on what your goals are, and to figure that out we'd have to chat about your skills, the benifit and limitations of the tunnel and how much time you wanted to invest. In short, come out and play a little and get an idea of where you want to take it from there...... February ain't far away though....
