  8. In my opinion it's ok partially because you said it was PLANNED, only a 2-way, and with an EXPERIENCED jumper.

  13. If you really want to jump again - you will If you're looking for an excuse to stop jumping - you'll find that too. With over 100 jumps you already know that you like the sport. Your feelings of apprehension are normal. I have metal in my leg from a skydiving accident too and questioned whether I should "quit while I'm ahead" or continue with the madness. Turns out that I jump more now that before the incident. After you heal go back out to the dz. If you still have the urge then make a jump. You'll be kinda scared until after the landing but then you'll realize why you do this crazy sport in the first place.
  14. The first point The second point I don't think still pictures do it justice. Seeing the transition between points adds a lot to the experience.

  18. I've got 12 lbs you can use. ( unless they tell me to put on some lead )
  19. I've logged all of my jumps but I put in a LOT less detail now. I'm glad I still log because I had my Pro-Track stolen and without my logbook I wouldn't have know what jump number to use as a starting point for my new Pro-Track.
  20. It is both a hobby and a sport. It's also known as SPORT Parachuting.
  21. I've jumped one, many times. Still have it.
  22. From other locations on the internet. You be the judge. C-5 Galaxy Stall speed at maximum landing weight is approximately 105 knots (120 MPH).
