awcorri 0 #1 December 30, 2004 Hello everyone. I am new to the sport as i only have 24 jumps in about 4 months in the sport. I am going for my A on new years day. I jump at Skydive Carolina in chester SC. I am a Rodriguez Brother and my brother name is Raiz. So hopefully i will get to me other brothers and other skydivers once i start traveling. I just ordered my very first rig and i am superstoked not to have to jump rental gear anylonger. I am really looking to speding many years in the sport, becoming a coach and sharpening my skill. Just wanted to introduce myself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are going to have fun in DZ.com Triathlon 190 is what I fly and I love it but I have heard good things about the Sabre 2 and I'm sure you will love it. Congrats on your license progression!My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

awcorri 0 #5 December 31, 2004 Thank you for the greeting. I like the 190 as well but when i started jumping i was a bit lighter then i am now so jumping it was ok and the 170 was of coarse more fun due to the wingloading. so that is what i have been flying the most unknown to me that i had gained 11 pounds in only a matter of months. d@mn medication. its interesting how i didnt notice the canopy flying differently as i was gaining weight. Guess it is due to the fact it was such a gradual change. anyways, So i am really looking forward to the Sabre2. Thanks again for the greetings Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
