Synapse 0 #1 June 18, 2008 Well, it's official, I am now a 50 jump wonder. Obviously, this means that I'm now authorized to provide advice as if I'm an instructor, criticize tips from -actual- instructors, and talk trash about those "low-jump newcomers".

Synapse 0 #6 June 18, 2008 Well, I've been jumping a Silhouette 210, but it is a little sluggish, so I'm prolly going with a Velocity 90. No better training than trial and error right? ...sadly enough, I am actually downsizing, but don't worry it's to a 190 loaded @ .92, not exactly a pocket rocket. -syn They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RALFFERS 0 #11 June 18, 2008 Quote We will forever be uttering the names of Scott Lutz and Shanya Richardson I know the 1st 1, but who is Shanya Richardson? That Lutz video ticks me off to no end!!! I can't describe the amount nor magnitude of anger that evokes in me because of people who CLEARLY screw up and then blame the sport... As if we don't already have a enough flack to deal with... Yeah, I don't jump yet, but that will soon change and nonetheless, skydiving is very special to me. to the OP: CONGRATULATIONS!!

mirage62 0 #12 June 18, 2008 Does anyone recall the "50 jump wonder" that argued about advise that Bill Booth had given? No shit, one of his comments was that although he didn't have the time in the sport or many jumps he's thoughts and advise were just as valid. Wonder what happen to him?
