allicat 0 #2026 June 5, 2007 I'm a little late here, but wow, what a party last weekend! We need to do more of that. From the dirty dancing in the hangar, vodka snow cones, the biggest bottle of Grey Goose I've ever seen, ass pyramids, Russian karaoke, playing airplane, head and handstands, and PLFs off the picnic table at 5am...a good time was had by all.

Keithmaj 0 #2030 June 8, 2007 Hey Matt... How ya doing??? I noticed in your profile that your "discipline of choice" is freeflying. I think we need to take you on a good 10-20 point 4-way RW jump so you have a good point of reference to consider before comit to the duldroms of 2-4 point freefly divesI'm not knockin' free-flying (I'm actually proficient at feet down), but good belly flying is amazing! In fact, I think all new skydivers should really learn what belly flying is about before quicky turning to free flying... The rush after a 10 point 4-way jump is far better than the satisfaction of your first 2 point sitfly jump... just my opinion... but WTF do I know Keith "Jump to Live!"

The rush after a 10 point 4-way jump is far better than the satisfaction of your first 2 point sitfly jump... just my opinion... but WTF do I know I did about 250 RW jumps before converting to freeflying, and then made about 400 freefly jumps. At that point I thought I'd give RW a try again. I knocked out about 40 jumps with a bootie suit and all. There I was at about noon at CSS having just landed after a four way jump. I remember thinking to myself, "if I don't cut this boring shit out I'm going to end up quitting skydiving". I never went back. If you think about it though the rush you get from a good freefly jump should be more rewarding because it costs about $20,000 more just to be able to take docks head-up or head-down. I know if it wasn't rewarding I'd of killed myself after spending that kind of money Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Keithmaj 0 #2043 June 12, 2007 Hey Justin, So are you saying that after 290 RW jumps you knew all there was to know??

Doing that freeflying in twice the jumps is nearly impossible.

I'm talking about 10-15 point 4-ways at 250 jumps and 15-20 points at 500 jumps... it's a little more challenge I guess it all depends who your doing 4-way with Much respect to you dark-siders...
