  1. I almost have my mind made up to go to Eloy, trying to get 70 jumps in 10 days.I currently am stuck living in Alaska, so I haven't jumped since August. I sent an email to Lodi, thought I might work in a visit to the grandparents, asked three simple questions, got a decently quick response... that answered none of my questions. Maybe you guys know. Is there a hotel within walking distance of the DZ, a bunkhouse, or a campground? Are there packers for fun jumpers? Is my Argus allowed (I know it's not allowed at Eloy)?

  2. Some of it's funny, some is pretty bad. They're doing another free t-shirt drawing right now. SCR 15113 USPA Coach-C Hellfish 1004
  3. www.facebook.com/skydivememes pretty funny stuff SCR 15113 USPA Coach-C Hellfish 1004
  4. This. You get to be idiots together, everyone has fun, and most importantly, you should both be safety obsessed. SCR 15113 USPA Coach-C Hellfish 1004
  5. Bought Kleer Vu Anti-Fog Cleaner. $4 on amazon, works great! SCR 15113 USPA Coach-C Hellfish 1004
  6. Break off was 5.5, so when people let go, I did a 180ish, tracked, and pulled SCR 15113 USPA Coach-C Hellfish 1004
  7. what is their recommended anti-fog wipe? SCR 15113 USPA Coach-C Hellfish 1004
  8. Put it on at 2 minutes, and close the visor after I take my position. SCR 15113 USPA Coach-C Hellfish 1004
  9. I'll try this SCR 15113 USPA Coach-C Hellfish 1004
  10. I used alcohol on it after the fogging problems started. Checked out recommended fixes, and that was one of them. Clearly, it is not a valid fix. SCR 15113 USPA Coach-C Hellfish 1004
  11. Bought a phantom full-face 4 months ago. I started experiencing mild fogging six weeks ago. I did an SCR jump yesterday with broken cloud coverage from 4-7k. At 8K, I fogged over completely. What I did before and during the dive re: the helmet I alcohol wiped my visor inside and out at the twenty minute call. I closed the visor from my mid front float position 3 seconds before the count. I positioned the mouth hole directly in front of my mouth. I pursed my lips and breathed through my mouth for the entirety of the skydive. I went fog blind at 8k, and my next moment of vision was at 2.5k in the saddle with my visor flipped up. Is this a phantom problem, or do I need to get some high tech anti-fog stuff? Rest of the jumps that day were made in a Pro-Tec and goggles(no fog). SCR 15113 USPA Coach-C Hellfish 1004

  19. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcqeR6sM3Rs&feature=youtu.be So, at the Skydive Temple 25th anniversary boogie, me and a friend planned a jump...and forgot about physics. This thing has made me laugh 50 times since yesterday. Don't coach, we know what I did wrong, just thought it would get some laughs. SCR 15113 USPA Coach-C Hellfish 1004
  20. and frankly, i don't care anymore. I've adapted and overcome. I land on my feet, I recently downsized, and I got my A-license. I'm a happy skydiver(with one good eye). SCR 15113 USPA Coach-C Hellfish 1004
