  2. OK I am new so if it is obvious by looking why this happened please just tell me anyway. From the comments I do not understand why flying with a camera would have anything to do with a canopy ripping in half. AND my question is about why and how the canopy ripped in half and what he did to cause this not about him stowing his slider on a reserve chute before doing his canopy check. THANK YOU

  4. ***Your dropzone is not responsible for your stupidity, (if you do or say something stupid).

    I never said if >>> I said I will do or say something stupid I am at 40 jumps I have lots of fucking up left to do. BUT DOWNSIZING TO EARLY will not be one of them.

    AND just as you say your dropzone is not responsible for you doing or saying something stupid>> How many people check the dropzone of the people that screw up>>
    By NOT posting dropzone I am saying it is all my fault>> Not the training not the dropzones

    I have made 100% all stupid decisions all by myself and learned from most of them!

    Dave and obelixtim Just admit your assholes cause you CARE and thats your way of showing it!

  5. ***Solution:
    Buys loads of stuff at one time.

    HAHAHAHAH Working on that one!

    Had to figure out if buying the goggles was worth skipping lunch and dinner without costing me a weekend jump.

    Of course it is.

    Donating blood this week to buy the book parachute and its pilot. LIFE IS GOOD!

  8. In reply to>>We tend to get a bit blunt about it. If you are around long enough, and mess up through stupidity, someone will likely give you a blasting. It happens to everyone sooner or later. You need to be able to handle a bit of blunt, to the point talk.

    This isn't tiddleywinks we play. You can die, easily and quickly, and it might not even be your fault.

    Sit back, listen, and learn....

    Will do thank you great advice!!

    Prefer to shut up and listen at 40 jumps I have a lot to learn and i much prefer the blunt advice I have received at my dropzone and on this site on my quest to learn judgement
    Sticks and stones and the ground hurt >>> Words regardless of how harsh they may sound I hear them and can only help me.

  14. I went to order a pair of Flex Z mini goggles. They were 16.95. BUT they wanted 12.95 to mail them to me? Is this not a tad high I live in North Carolina. 13.00 dollars to mail a 5oz package in a little envelope from Florida. Seems a tad high so I did not get them. Do not know if that is standard shipping price on all products or not.

  25. Actually what stressed me out the most was the thought of screwing up again and looking like the big LOSER with everyone trying to help me. AND the money of course. It was fear of fucking up not fear of falling, skydiving, plane, lost of awareness, hitting bird shit or anything else i have read in these forums I just could not stand the fact Every time i left the step of that plane I wasted 2000 feet getting stable and knew there was no way I was doing a hop n pop with those exits Some of the help was like are you afraid of hitting the step cause i did that once hurt like hell but i was ok. I thought well come to think of it I never thought about hitting the step with my face UNTIL NOW. OR do not worry about hitting the tail hardly ever happens WELL never thought about that until NOW. BUT Everyone was so helpful in so many different ways and I was given some things to think about that i never thought of before! But I hope i got it no jumping last week due to weather hope i can do the same thing this weekend that I did two weeks ago.It made skydiving fun again not like a job i had to complete because honestly it was still a rush but I was not having fun on the jumps 16-21. I used to enjoy even the ride to the DZ then I got to hating it I could no longer dream about skydiving or even think of skydiving or even practice arching and body position or exits without hating it and it was like a light switch what I loved ONE DAY over night I hated everything about it I just wanted to end this shit get my A license and be done. Well Jump 23-29 I remembered everything I loved about it AND remembered the human body does not have to eat everyday I can skip 2 days food for one jump and Goodwill sales great stuff. DO NOT QUIT YOU WILL LOVE it again!
