  1. this spring i was doing solo jumps and i was last out of the 206 after a 5 way FF group and i curled up in a ball in the door and she tipped the plane and dumped me out so yea, shell do that
  2. No need to spot with Emiko behind the yoke...she's an amazing pilot
  3. That pic is good enough for your "I-love-me" wall. Already got it blown up to posters size wth the rest of my mad skillz posters of myself
  4. Ive been packing since my 8th jump but now a year later Im finally packing tandems full time for my DZ (as of yesterday) and your first hand experience makes me even more cautious when closing the container and assembling the drogue release. Thanks
  5. i swoop the shit out of my velo 96...im gonna kill myself and give you all a bad name
  6. yea maturity....its a god damn internet forum...fuck everyone that takes this shit seriously and 100 jump wonders that search for wingsuit and camera advice...bottom line, these threads are just a shitload of bickering and dont make any progress anywhere...basically, everyone has their own opinion and is just as wrong as the next guy
  7. sorry, id just rather turn "young jumpers" into "unsafe jumpers" or some other name that doesnt direct it at young people
  8. Wrong DZ....Im a regular at Festus, MO which is Fly Free Skydiving....Freefall Express is in Mount Vernon, MO...both places are amazing with some amazing people at both....PM me if you want some more info
  9. The issue being, young jumpers, just like young people, can't believe that we've been through it, seen it, learned from it, and want to give them the knowlege without having them go through the grief. So they buck against the "establishment/old-timers/fuddy-duddy's" and keep doing the same stupid shit we're trying to prevent them from doing. The Sticky should be titled: "I Told Him So", or "The 100 Jump Wonder Hall of Shame" FWIW once again, all young jumpers cannot be lumped into this category as not all young jumpers are incompetent and reject advice
  10. so please dont lump all us young jumpers together either...not directed at you paul, just trying to make a point
  11. let them swoop, who gives a shit....until USPA mandates wingloadings or something, people will continue to do it and and stubborn fuckers wont care who tells them what
  12. theres such a pointless cycle of this shit going on here and its really annoying...ignore the ones that dont want help and take the others willing to learn under your wing if your an older jumper
  13. skip all the skydiving gear and just go straight for BASE...it looks cooler on youtube ....or you could just do a search
  14. i figured thats what you meant...we do IAD at my DZ so the pilot knows how to handle students on the strut and last weekend i geeked the camera hanging from the strut and told him before hand...i imagine climbing all the way out on the wing is a different story...thanks for the info!
  15. Ever seen a premie off the step? If the pilot isn't setup and ready to slip, the tail is in the way. With a tandem pair in the back of the plane it could get "sporty." Think of the bigger picture! elaborate please? i confoozed
