    because white people can't jump Tongue

    I also tell them that once black people figure out skydiving we are going to take over just like basketball...

    Also I'm trying to set the world black head down record, I need just 1 more guy to do it.



    FUNNY AS HELL!!! Actually laughed out loud so the LOL response is a true one

    One reason is that the DZ where you do your training will most likely not let you use your own gear until you have your A license because student rigs have some additional features sport rigs don't



    Sorry newbie but what are the additional features that student gear has that sports gear does not?

    Sorry to hear that. No point if it isn't fun, much better to find something you enjoy. If you like skydivers manifest girl is a cool jobSmile



    I liked pretending to be a skydiver. >never felt anything more then a tourist or guest so manifest girl is out of the question. And i like the people on dropzone.com have met people from all levels.

    If you or your instructors feel you are unsafe then stop. Otherwise so long as you are having fun, who cares if you are taking longer to pick things up? Not everyone is a natural and some of us are slow learners. I'm sure you've heard about Wendy.



    Main problem is its not fun anymore. 6000 in hole and my budget was 4000 for an A license . Even had a budget for a parachute at the end all blown, Each time it was but your so close and you do not want to waste the money you spent

    I think a break is in order a long break because I am a risk. Cut my loses

    Your advice comes late Nigel but not too late!

    I have heard about Wendy So Wendy how did you swing the money end of learning to skydive?????

  6. Jumped from a otter a caravan and a King Air. Except for my first exit out of the King air they all seemed to be ok. But It is the dropzone with the cesena 206 I wanted to call home.
    But Reading in previous post By now I should have mastered it and am a danger to myself and the other jumpers my not being able to perform it properly.

    Not going to bowl>> probably take up sitting on the internet talking to skydivers

  7. I had instructors doing nothing but exit jumps with me took a canopy class did hop n pops thought in my mind it was all fixed and was videoed my last jump and i still hop to the side and do not look up at the plane on my hop n pop turned slight as well. SO if you find a fix Namowal please let me know

  11. Keep your head up Joe I am now at 57 Jumps and no I do not have my A license. At around 23 jumps I refused to quit BUT every week was hoping like hell they would tell me your not cut out for this you need to find another sport. STUPID POISED EXITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I actually graduated AFF 4 times I was promoted and demoted 3 times in 3 days!! I started in October so it was not lack of trying or distance between jumps.

    I can exit now still can not flare that well and even got in a canopy class at another DZ to improve this did two landing in the peas last weekend and one of those was stand up My First in the peas and yes i bought beer.

    I suck and my money is drained. MY DZ didn't give up on me even though I WISH THEY HAD!!!!!!!!

    BUT it sure is a hell of a lot of fun MAN i love jumping from that plane without a doubt my favorite part.

    And I can not bowl for shit. Throwing heavy balls down slippery alleys is way to dangerous STICK TO SKYDIVING!

  14. Yeah caps Going to think about that when i jump today.
    You know I think you found my shit button thought i had that one hid well. So i guess I found many of>>> YOUR'S<<< HAHA<< as well

    I am amazed that the evolution through out the years of skydiving that the rigs where ever designed in such a manner that allowed for nothing more then falling belly to earth.

    It is as if falling in any other manner is something new and radical.

    Glad for the improvements.

    Glad I was not the one that had to make 1000 of jumps to figure out a better way to design containers for safety.

    Thankful for those that did.

  16. >:( to:)
    When i say I will not post anymore questions ever again my forever is 5 minutes. I am not going to melt. My shit floats. I was trying really hard not to come across as some newbie know it all. Who does not listen to advice.

    Just cause I give you the finger does not mean I am not listening!

    Also direct approach works better for me no need to tone it down. My ego is about the size of most of your ****.
    :)

  17. Sorry did not know that when someone uses caps to point out a sentence break that it was read as someone yelling.

    Thank you all for your help

    will work on getting a better education of skydiving equipment and knowledge of the sport.

    Will work on sentence structure and grammar context as well as spelling and run on sentences.

    I should have waited to ask someone at my dropzone your right.

    But I asked educated skydivers on this sight. Will not happen again>>> sticks up middle finger!

    My instructors are not the cause of my gap in the use of skydiving equipment ! I thought the pilot chute had to purposes to start deployment and to slow deployment .

    Sticks out both hands gives middle fingers on both hands. Gee what the fuck moons everyone too!

    Will not be asking any more questions!

  18. GAPS THE MOTHER FUCKERS PARACHUTE RIPS IN HALF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry we did not learn that in AFF!

    Thinking back to all the pictures of parachute malfunctions

    Not one picture was of one over my head split in two

    Its there!
    Its in 2 squares
    But i sure can not fly it

    Cut away and pull the reserve!

    lease, step away from the internets, and go talk to instructors at your DZ. You have so many gaps in your understanding on how gear works that, for someone with 40 jumps, I'm a bit scared.



    Will do thank you for all your patience. I am at 40 jumps and not a A license I would be scared to fly with me too! Lets just say Natural talent and my name have not been used in the same sentence.

    I think a lot of jumpers with 100 of jumps take their education of skydiving for granted as common knowledge .
    I understand that the pilot chute starts the deployment process BUT until now did not know it was actually the lines not the pilot chute that I was feeling that caused the initial drag and decrease of speed before the chute starts opening so thank you

    And>Remster a little uneducated 40 year old girl scares you to jump with. WELL all i have to say to that is BOO!

    freeflying a non-freefly rig it kinda shows a lack of understanding of what can go wrong and failing to plan for it.



    If i ever go to another dropzone and have to rent equipment do they tell you this is a non free fly friendly rig? Or am i supposed to be able just by looking at it able to determine what type of rig this is?

  21. Ok go ahead and slap your foreheads now another question i should probably already know.

    In a premature deployment the entire bag comes out at the same time as the pilot chute not in a initiated deployment sequence? SO the pilot chute is unable to do its job and slow the jumper down? And the parachute comes out without the aid of the pilot chute to slow it down?

    Is this even close to being right?

  23. Sorry I am trying to figure this out so bare with me or ignore my repeated uneducated questions.

    It appears to me on the video he is not on his back until the parachute come out at best he was in a heads down position.

    So Question if a rig is not freefly friendly all you should do is belly to earth flying?

    This aint bowling.




    So still do not understand why him having a camera caused his parachute to rip in half

    I understand he should not have had a camera at his jump level.

    I know shit happens In my mind I am thinking SHIT i just spent 1500 on a parachute and it splits in half and I have to pull my reserve. YES i know its your life and it is more important then money for a parachute . IS the belly to earth body position what slows the deployment down or just the most stable means of deploying a parachute or both?

  25. Alright>> SO i state this as a question>>

    A freefly friendly rig is designed to withstand unusual or unstable deployments?

    If this is true? How so> Once again i am new in asking.

    A freefly friendly rig is going to slow the deployment regardless of body position?

    So a student rig is made to withstand all kinds of body position deployment?

    You have freefly friendly rigs and non freefly friendly rigs? Is there a third?
