Why am I still uncomfortable sitting by the door?
mutumbo replied to npgraphicdesign's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Why? If the plane is going down, the only person to get out after him is the pilot! and it's hard to run all the way to the door in a dress in a bumpy crashing airplane LMAO. you sir owe me a keyboard. since mine is now covered in coke. thanks.

how about for all the parents out there who think child safety seats are overrated and in the event of a crash they will just be able to hold onto said baby??

I cant make up my mind which of the many beers i like is truly my favorite. of the mass produced types its probably. . . (in no particular order) smithwicks guinness newcastle bass killians and for the lighter beach type days yuengling or landshark but if im buying beer for the DZ everyone seems to be happy with a case of yuengling.

This teaching/misunderstanding is killing and injuring people. Why are we drilling this into the heads of new jumpers? In defense of my instructors, it wasnt drilled into my head per se, they just taught the usual landing pattern, and i assumed thats what you HAD to do, being new and all theres soo much shit going through your head you dont really know what to question in the beginning and youre just trying to sort it all out, if that makes any sense at all Thanatos340(on landing rounds)-- Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet.

mutumbo replied to npgraphicdesign's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Ok I get it. I'm a wuss But seriously...what makes me nervous isn't 'falling out', but falling out at the wrong time...like 2k or less above the ground, right after the seatbelt is off. lol im not scared of falling out period, that doesnet bother me, well it may if i was sitting RIGHT next to the door, but itll be a cold day in hell before i do that to a full ride to alt. i dont know what my problem is, i guess IM truly the wuss.

I hate the door so much, its not funny. So much so that i havent jumped in months due to mindfucking myself out of being able to do it. i hate the entire sequence, opening, moving towards it, spotting, the works. but once im out is pure bliss. for some reason im not nearly as worried when they open the door for hop n pops, im not sure if its because i know im not going out it or what... but i do rember being calmer when i look out the plane at 6k versus 12k, maybe its a height thing? since i havent jumped in a while, obviously ill have to recert and all that, should i try a static line kinda thing since you go out much earlier or? . . .

YEEEAH, i questioned it, in my mind, but thought "he must be right, hes got 1,000's of jumps to my 5. . . " no more, lol. Thanatos340(on landing rounds)-- Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet.

Jump 5, coming in to what i thnk is a perfect landing pattern on AFF, the radio guy tells me im to high and to to 2 S-turns so i do, against my better judgement, well now im downwind and too low, and having the notion that you HAVE to land upwind, do a 180 VERY close to the gorund, so close that if at the last second had i not let go of my left toggle and flared equally as hard as humanly possible i would have hit the ground almost at the same time as my canopy. would up baseball sliding that one out, with no injuries. lessons learned: DONT TURN LOW!, and take the radio guys advice with a grain of salt he just could be wrong, lol.

+1 the Mamba is the one I would rec. I have tried a Z1 as well. Those are the only two and the Mamba was quiter. being a member of the fat head club i went with a MAMBA, havent jumped it yet, but ill be taking it to the tunnel come the end of the week, so ill see how quiet it is, although i have nothing to compare it to, i may be able to offer sometjhing constructive Thanatos340(on landing rounds)-- Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet.

im not sure how everyone else does it but at my home DZ i usually just cower in the doorway and wait for my knees to stop shaking enough to actually get a good launch out of the plane, or for the pilot to turn around and give me mean looks, which ever comes first, hasnt failed me yet! haha Thanatos340(on landing rounds)-- Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet.

you could loan it to me, ill make sure every thing works great when you get back seriously tho, keep it, unless you really intend to quit. this shit aint cheap. why buy brand new gear all over again if the stuff you have now is perfectly fine. oh and sell the AAD though, no point in keeping that Thanatos340(on landing rounds)-- Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet.

Im no marriage expoert here, but if youre contemplating this seriously enough to put a thread on the forum, then it sounds like youre decision is all but made. how about a little more info on the "future possible wife" such as what caused the divorce? was it messy? clean? is ex hubby still around? has she always been this jealous? does she work? how does she support the kid? is she able to live on her own or is she one of those co-dependent people that as soon as she breaks up with one shes already with the next by the end of the day? try explaining to her that once business picks up that there will be more free time and money to go around. sounds to me like you COULD be the rebound guy in this whole thing, NO OFFENSE. just speculation from a random guy. again not a marriage expert, never been married, but its just food for thought. edit: wow, glad im not alone on this one Wendy, i didnt get to read her post before i replied but we basically said the same thing.

Seeking medical advice from bonfire re: strained forearms
mutumbo replied to loumeinhart's topic in The Bonfire
yeah if youve had that problem since march Billy I would get on that SOON, it could be and probably isnt anything they can do much for, but on the off chance that it is something serious, then putting it off isnt going to do ANY good.
