  1. myself and another jumper just went from Newark to San Juan on Continental, no problems what so ever at either ariport with the rigs as carry on. Mine was in a gear bag, and the other was out in the open. both have cypress's in them and we didn't even get a funny look BUNGE I don't hate them, I just like us better.
  2. it rained so much in the east last weekend, your almost gaurenteed good weather if ya want to come jump at Crosskeys this weekend, and i can scan them in for ya here BUNGE I don't hate them, I just like us better.
  3. when i transitioned from a manta to a sabre 210, the DZO (whos rig i was jumping) told me: play witht he canopy up high. find the point where it planes out, and then find its stall point. when you are on final, dont flare where you used to. Wait till you think you are about to slam into the ground, count to 2, then plane out, when you feel the sinking, flare the rest of the way. its been working for me ever since!

  4. it should be great this weekend, I'm leaving the state for the weekend, but then again, it is a Monkey Claw weekend........... BUNGE I don't hate them, I just like us better.
  5. all my siblings except one, and a nephew, and a cousin have made multiple tandems . I am the only one who has gone as far as to get licensed, but we do enjoy spending days at the DZ together. my oldest brother has gone as far as to host water training at his home whenever we need to use a pool! My best friend and jumping partner, also has a 10 year old daughter who is counting down the days till she turns 18 to start jumping, there are times i think she knows more about skydiving than some of the 1st year jumpers!

  6. Ill never complain about the drive to the turbine DZ's again! BUNGE I don't hate them, I just like us better.
  7. I've jsut begun to learn to rig, but the rigger teaching me also thinks, change the loop, its cheap. it would piss me off to get the container almost all the way closed then have a loop break. BUNGE I don't hate them, I just like us better.

    Good Questions

  11. no laproscopic, that sucks. i remember the pain of getting my Gallbladder removed without the sharkbite and I was miserable for 3 weeks! BUNGE I don't hate them, I just like us better.
  12. Don't be too hard on yourself. Like many other things, the first step sucks. its comon for the first jump to be sensory overloading. try to concertrate on the positive, Did you feel the hacky on the PRCP's? Were you stable? how was your landing? You DID pass the level. you lived! (read below) BUNGE I don't hate them, I just like us better.
  13. i hate when that happens! my other pet peeves, people who leave there foot on the clutch, and those that use the left foot on the brake of an automatic. ya can just smell the brake shooes burning up BUNGE I don't hate them, I just like us better.
  14. i have to admit, i dont really keep track. i would guess about every 45 days or so. BUNGE I don't hate them, I just like us better.
  15. i used to love to stall the big student mains, i also saw one of the packers (neal) land while sitting on the slider! ltdiver, remember that! BUNGE I don't hate them, I just like us better.
  16. i don't pack for a living, but when i pack for friends, esp. if its a canopy i havent packed before, i ask the person how they like it packed, pro, flat, psyco, nose open, nose tucked, nose rolled. after a while you will get to know what canopies like what done to them as well.

  17. i live 15 from Skydive Jersey Shore. A little part of me loves the tiny cessna DZ's and the view of the ocean is awsome, and i am quasi staff there. if i have the whole weekend off from my paying job, i usually spend one day at Jersey shore and one at CK BUNGE I don't hate them, I just like us better.

  20. work at 2 performing arts centers as a stage electrician. all the rock concerts i want to see in the summer, all the broadway shows i want to see in the winter! BUNGE I don't hate them, I just like us better.
  21. gallstones SUCK! i had 2 major attacks, then told them to get that thing out of me!!!! Feel Better Sunshine! (PM Me for the bad news about loosing your gallbladder ) BUNGE I don't hate them, I just like us better.
  22. Parachutes Over Palm Springs is where I learned to Jump. Unfortunately, they are no more. The original DZO got out of the Business a few years after a stroke grounded him from jumping and flying. I know one Fun jumper in the desert tried to keep a tandem operation open there, but it faded away too. Last i heard, Al Champlain was still working a appointment only operation, but even that group membership is no longer listed. BUNGE I don't hate them, I just like us better.
  23. i am at work! just board off my ass! BUNGE I don't hate them, I just like us better.
  24. I'm happy that one of the DZ's I jump at regulary is only 15 minutes from my house. before they opened, Crosskeys was the nearest at 1 1/2 hours travel time. (Still love to go there at least twice a month!) BUNGE I don't hate them, I just like us better.
  25. its pretty deep. the tip is what broke off and i pushed the plug in all the way before i realized what happened. SUCKS! hate seconding guessing if i remembered to hit record or not a get spoiled by modern toys!!!!!!!!! BUNGE I don't hate them, I just like us better.
