From what I have heard if you can get Rob Laidlaw to coach you its the best. You can find him at skydiveU in Deland if am not mistaken. Some will disagree and some will agree, but try the skydive university programs some of the programs include tunnel which is a very good tool for learning (never been there but thats what I have heard).

Advice: re-read all the questions and answers of the categories from A to H. If you missed something like the wingloading you might have missed some other important things. Please don't take this as a flame, its a good advice, my instructor asked me ALL of the questions. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

One of the skydivers at the dz has a z1 and said that everytime he tried a PRO-something it always was a problem, but when he tried the skytronic he said that it was much better. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

Nice thong! where's the cutaway handle? HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

water and a pain killer pill HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

I dunno about you people but I have 2 in mind: 1- The Toxic Avenger (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 how much were made?) 2- Attack of the killer tomatoes (I can't remember if thats the correct name but is something about killer tomatoes) HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

Everytime I come to dz.com and enter a forum I get all my configuration changed, I can't see polls and when I try to read an old thread that has new posts it takes me back to the first post and I have to scroll all the way down to find the new post. Now here is the funny thing, if I come to dz.com from a clicking a link that I get in my email (reply to post emails) then it will open with my normal config, out of the weird twilight zone that comes when I do it the other way. Help? HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

Is that why the reserve is flat packed? HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

How are the lines? if it needs a reline you can negotiate a better price. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

Is your employer a TAN-I? HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

No 4. but put the main pin cover in color blue that way it will be a complete arrow. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

If you use a Z1 go for the skytronic, makes a better fit. Are you sure you don't want to wait a lil longer so that you can get the money for the protrack? HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

I usually do 10 tight rolls, how much do you think it might be to much? HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

please explain HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

PM me his name and I tell ya if we are talking about the same guy, and yes he is very talented and well-known. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

its better if you make that a new thread on the canopy controll forum. You will get way more answer from some experienced swoopers. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

Why don't start when both of you have the canopy on the shoulder (right before clearing the cells), that way it will be more accurate to see who is faster or slower to psycho or to pro. Oh yeah and have a nice topless lady say the READY SET GO! HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

Best thing for that is to email every store you know. www.square1.com www.sunshine-factory.com www.skykat.com www.aerostore.com www.gearstore-elsinore.com www.cousindave.com also try www.sunpath.com they have some stuff on stock and used. if want to search for classifieds you can search the dz.com classifieds and www.enclave.com classifieds. From here down is what I added in the edit: If your profile is current and updated (11 jumps) you should be thinking in something like a 170 or better yet a 190sqf main. Thinking for a 150 (wingload of 1.1 if its your exit weight, remember that the gear is about 20-25 lbs, that will put your wingload in 1.23) will be buying a headache, buttache, boneache and all kinds of aches and a stressfull canopy ride cause it will go to fast for you and you are not used to it and everything will seem like its comming to fast (I have no idea about your experience but from the number of jumps that you have in your profile it makes me thing that you are jumping a big canopy and are still a student). If you are not a student and have more than 70 jumps then pay no attention to what I have just said. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

What quade said is pretty good. The only good advice I can give (I am not a JM or instructor, I am only a person with 70 jumps that had trouble with the flare) is to practice and feel the flare up high (against the wind). Another thing I do (and works) is the slow flare, like it was mentioned on a previous post. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

The one that works better for you. Once you know the theory of how to make a center turn you can start playing by trying to do the same but in another way (mantis, normal, etc.). HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

I am kinda new to the sport but my recom is to go for the weights, there is no need to kill or get a bad injury to your spine by doing an extreme arch. The tools are there for you to get. I use weightbelt, more comfortable. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

I am no BASE expert and I am no gear expert, I don't even BASE, but I think that if you email your question to the manufacturer or call the manufacturer of the BASE gear in question, you will get the best answer. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

I dunno how old the videos are but I don't think they are 10 years old, maybe 8 or 7 years old but I am just guessing, gonna ask tommorrow. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

a dz.com t-shirt hook knifes, power tool, 1 year membership to skydiving mag or a free jump with video would make great skydiving present. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

I was watching some old videos of a BASE jumper that came to Panama years ago and noticed that in all his jumps he throws a hand held PC then the PC pulls the d-bag out of the container and then the canopy, like a normal skydiving deployment, only difference was the hand held PC and the canopy inflating VERY fast. So my question is do you people use d-bags? My thoughts are that you pack inside the container with no d-bag. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com
