  1. The requirements change depending on the conditions three yrs ago they had a girl land out in the desert with no flare and bust herself up. Two yrs ago they required a D, no full moon, not optomal conditions. Not enough people...cancelled. I jumped last yr , req was B qualified. Had a blast. this yr they req a D. I believe there are night jumps on the 18 Jan, when you are there. Andrew
  2. You can solve that problem in a couple of ways. Use "preview post" before posting Use "edit" after posting. welcome back to skydiving
  3. Yea... she should be more like you hiding behind anonimity and calling people names
  4. If you go and buy this 150 what size reserve are you going to have. Imagine you have a 150 reserve you have had a high speed malfunction and have cut away.. 1200' you are over trees and the only landing area is a clearing that you can just make but will have no time to face the wind.. so would you feel confident enough to downwind this canopy into a small landing area? check out Billvon's criteria for downsizing can you land your 190 downwind ,crosswind, uphill,downhill. no wind. if you cant DON'T DOWNSIZE pick up some used for your first set of gear you can generally sell it for close to what you paid.

  6. YOU have the most AWSOME Mall in the World! Was there last night playing laser tag couple of the girls saw a tattoo and body piercing place by the entrance.. by the time the rest of us had eaten they were tatood and pierced.
  7. Sorry for your loss, Frank 12 is a good age for a larger dog, 94 in doggie yrs both my dogs only made it to 10. My sister's little cairn Jura passed away at 16 Jackson will always be with you in your memories Andrew
  8. Sure then you'll move to Texas buy that gun. Nicotine deprived Roger with a gun...
  9. Still waiting for mine up here in the frozen north Andrew
  10. I took 2 attempts cold turkey, about 3 yrs after I had a few drinks at a party and found myself with a lit cig , one drag was enough and I have never smoked since. My undersanding is that it takes about a month to get the nicotine out of your system, but it takes at least 18 months to retrain your habits. So try to disassociate smoking from pleasure. Good luck Andrew
  11. Bin there , done that did you get video? Congrats on the 100th
  12. Dry air, terminal velocity, cracked lips, not fun

  17. Yes There was a blown up copy of this pic on the wall of the bent prop, maybe still is. pic was taken during the 2001 Canadian Invasion
  18. So that they can form up the wackers while the base is forming and then fly them in also you dont have people docking on the main formation which may cause waves etc all the outer people dock on a whacker and a hard dock just affects that whacker not the whole formation.
  19. Bill is in G9, outer ring of the base in blue. two down from the skydiver in black.
