DubJump

So does being flexible help with the arch during freefall? I have never been that flexible of a guy, but I have no worries on the matter. I'm more just curious, because if flexibility and core muscles (Abs, etc.) help out a bunch, I want to get into a regular schedule of stretching/working out.

Yea drugs are bad Mmmmk

And if you wear contacts a full face is nice too.

Someone once said turn your fear into focus. I think that applies to any extreme sport where your life is up for grabs. I know it works for me when I'm boarding sketchy lines up in the mountains.

Yea I've been looking at the REvolve too. Good reviews on both here and other websites.

But you'll gather far more info if you also learn to use the search feature

Touche

I'm looking to buy a full face and came across this one. Just wondering if anyone has this helmet and if so how's it holding up for ya?

Though for all the hippies in an around Portland, they have a damn good electronic music scene. I usually make it there once a month for shows and I live in Port Angeles.

Sooo my parents bought two timeshares in Cabo, Mexico like 10 years ago. They still use one quite often but they wanted to sell/trade in the other one because it was never used. They did it themselves, posted it and gave info on how many years were left on it etc. One it was all sorted out they contacted the resort to transfer the timeshare over to the new people. In the case of trades, such as so many years of timeshare for, say, a cruise, you would get ahold of the cruise company and they would work through it with you. That's how they did it, but then again there are a bunch of timeshare company's out there so I would assume it's based on their policy.

Just wondering if anyone here is into that scene other than me. If sooo, is anyone going to Shambhala in British Columbia, Wakarusa in Arkansas or Re:Generation outside Portland, Oregon?

I jumped at Snoholmish Skydive, about 20 miles north of Seattle.

Yea I understand haha Just cause I'm a noob doesn't mean I'm dumb... or does it?

So in reading through some posts I notice that people talk about Hard Decks and Hard Deck Altitudes in malfunction scenarios. What does this mean? Does it have to do something with your "do not cut away" alt, flying your canopy, etc? Thanks.

One of the first skydiving videos I watched was a guy skyboarding in the 1998 X-Games. You guys wore some pretty bad ass jump suits!

Haha possibly. They want to see how well I do in getting my license first I think

^ Thanks for the link

^ Good to know

Ok got ya. So to go one step further, how does the wing load equation affect how your canopy will fly?

As my subject line suggests, what is it?

I'm excited for my first line twist. I want to see what it's like and go through the process of fixing it. I mean, there gonna happen.

Nice information. It's all very interesting as a new jumper. Quick question to add on though. What are grommet stoppers?

Sup all. My names Levi Fahrenholtz and I'm from the Olympic Peninsula. Just did my first jump (static) a few days ago and really enjoyed it. Planning on getting my license and am just really excited for what's to come.

A few quick things about me, I have been snowboarding all my life and love it with a passion. Almost all my friends are into that and rock climbing. I'm the odd one out in that scenario seeing as I'm not really a rock climber (done a few climbs but nothing extreme unlike a friend of mine that climbs El Cap on a regular bases haha). Because of this I wanted to get out and discover something new and sorta stumbled upon Skydiving. I'm a huge music freak and try to make it to every festival possible that has a generous lineup of Dub-step. I have a group of friends and we refer to ourselves as the Boozey Snake Tribe. That pretty much explains how I live. And of course I also have my responsibilities, such as school and work.

But yea, just wanted to say hi and introduce myself and am looking forward from learning a lot on website. Much thanks. Whompity-Whomp-Whomp.
