  1. Welcome to the sport, The beer thing is very important, It really opens the doors and Breaks the ice
  2. Got back on the horse today after my cutaway last week and Got my A license. I met a lot of new people and got tons of offers to jump with new people today also. Buying the beer really broke the ice and i cant wait to get back to the DZ and start learning more.
  3. Now theres a record im interested in
  4. Hopefully friday i get back on the horse and knock out 24 and 25 and get my A license.
  5. I jump in the morning the mal happened at about 11am but i did tell the instructors that the beers will be on me
  6. I tried like hell to get it to break free, but had to cut it away. The reserve rode a little twitchyer than im used too
  7. It was a line over on the left side, It put me into a pretty good spin. I realized pretty quick that there wasn't much i could do. Yes we found the main and the reserve was a pd253 and it rode different than im used to. Ive made 20 jumps on a 280 and just decided today to move down to a 260.I liked the way the 260 felt Im 6'4" and about 215.
  8. Well i did 21, 22, and 23 today. I had my first cutaway and reserve landing on jump 23. At least ive got that out of the way
  9. My first solo has been my favorite jump yet. Good For You.
  10. Im so new that i really love everything so far but i think egos will be the number one. I think some of the experienced divers really forget what it was like to be new to the sport, from the forums to the DZ. Dont get me wrong i have received a nice welcome but i am more of a reader than a poster. I really just want to learn as much as i can so i can be the best skydiver that I can be. I save all my important questions for my instructor
  11. Hell I thought i was the only one. I noticed that on my aff i was very nervous going up in the plane. I think alot had to do with performance fear cuz after level 7 when i did the 2 solos and the hop and pop it wasnt near as bad.Now im doing coached jumps its kinda back. I hope it never completely goes away because that's where the rush comes from. No matter how weird you feel on the way up its all better when you exit the plane
  12. Looks like you got a few more jumps in over the weekend, sweet. I was able to do 3 coach jumps today.
  13. Your fear will turn to excitement, Ill jump 4 or 5 times tomorrow and i cant friggin wait. Good luck and have fun
  14. Hey i asked and ill take any advise, Thanks for calling me a kid lol Im probably older than you
  15. Ok as i have mentioned... Im not a drinker. Whats the accepted beer to bring. Is it the normal Bud Light or one of the differnt beers, Sam adams, Heineken ect. This probably seems like a stupid question but im 46 and i bet i havent drank six beers yet. Ya Know i dont wanna be known for bringing shitty beer. Would you give your rigger Shitty beer????
  16. Congrats, Im 11 away. God i cant wait. Nice video. You look good
  17. Im pretty sure that during the summer in az the last load is around noon, the afternoon heat effects the winds here, Thanks for the advise. I dont even drink but ill buy as many beers as they want. The instructors here really are great
  18. Well im real new at this, I jump in the morning, I would feel real wierd about passing out beers at 8am in the morning. I think i do owe beers. I just finished aff, i also had another first, got to jump out of a skyvan. I think ill buy a few cases of water or Gatorade and try that. I jump at SkyDive az and its friggin hot there.
