Isn't the number one reason to downsize so that we can jump in higher winds? I know the Byron peeps are jumping in that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gemini 0 #8 March 18, 2006 The winds were not really that bad. The only turbulence I encountered was around 2k. My landings were uneventful and still had lots of forward drive at WL 1.4. Secret was to not downwind of your landing area. A lot of people were flying over the taxiway and hangers and then landing on the taxiway. No reason for it really. The reason I believe a lot of jumpers freaked out about the wind was because of the flapping from all the windblades made it seem a lot stronger than it really was. Just my opinion. Remember if you feel it is to windy for you that is the right decision for you. Blue skies, Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well,here comes another load in,time to go watch the carnage ensue. *cough* pussies! *cough* High winds I can handle... it was the turbluence below 1000 feet that many of us had a problem with... many of the canopies close to the ground were bouncing around a ton. They did calm down later in the day on Friday... and were awesome on Saturday. The Snow @ 9000 ft wasn't much fun on Sunday... Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...

gemini 0 #23 March 20, 2006 Rookie and 2Fat2Fly PM me your mailing addresses so I can send the jumpsuit and helmet back to you. Boy it is wet and cold in Dublin right now. I don't leave till 4AM tomorrow. The drive back to Atlanta is going to suck with the bad weather. At least I didn't have a cop at every bridge between the NASCAR track and Atlanta like you other guys did. Hope everyone watched their speed!

lisamariewillbe 1 #25 March 20, 2006 I didnt either until I got to the ground and we were told by a wuffo lol about the nose... It was interesting... this sometimes is such a forgiving sport BTW the downsizing was not just cause of winds but the winds did encourage me to move to a .8 wingloading vs the .7 ish I was on. Loading the canopy just a bit more helped me not be so iffy with the turbulance. It wasnt a big downsize and at 70 jumps and losing the weight it was about time to down size. Stitch, was fun getting back from the wheat with ya. Its always nice to land out in groups, makes the time getting back to the DZ not so boring ...Sudsy Fist: i don't think i'd ever say this Sudsy Fist: but you're looking damn sudsydoable in this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
