  1. I'm bummed out that this isn't a XRW post
  2. Alti is on left wrist. It's a white lb wrist band
  3. Lol. I don't think that's a pull-up cord. Looks like glow stick rope. They most likely let out after deployment.
  4. They have these things called wind tunnels, you sound like a perfect fit.
  5. For skydiving. I can still use my Valkyrie with my tracksuit.
  6. +1 First couple jumps you should just try to fly next to each other.
  7. Anyone have a link to the dive pool for all 2 way Mfs?
  8. Just a few things from your video -Your slider is not pulled down (and your chest strap is probaply tight) -toggle input right after turn, that's a big no-no -stay on your fronts longer before the turn (3secs)? -Your turn looked more like 45' than 90', use risers instead of harness? I love when someone with 243 jumps is giving swoop advice to someone with 250 jumps, online too. LOL Not bad advice but funny.
  9. Skydive Arizona is your best bet for weather. But where is your rig being made? Going to the shop where your rig was made is always fun. Florida mainly Deland has a bunch of shops within walking distance.
  10. Blindman was Jeffro Provenzano I thought. If it wasn't him, he perfected it. And I think he was the first to do a miracle man. I know those Frenchies Fred and Vince have been doing them forever too.
  11. I always heard Rickster Powell (sp) was one of the first to do modern hook turns.
  12. Normal manifesting. No getting bumped.
  13. Skydive Spaceland has a 7500 all you can jump package.
  14. at 125 you will be fine on a 79. with gear you would be what 145 which would put you at 1.8 to 1. just get a 75 so you don't look silly.
  15. There is a packer at Spaceland named Ed that lost his left eye when he was a kid. He has to over 300 skydives now and is one of the better canopy pilots I know with that many jumps. Better than most people with two working eyes.
  16. Everything you said is bad canopy piloting not the canopies. With 32 jumps you shouldn't be giving canopy advice to anyone!
  17. +1 on the Rds. I also am grabbing mine the first time it gets to the slinks.
  18. Skydive Twin Cities Forest Lake is the smaller tandem cessena dz. Skydive Twin Cities Baldwin is the more fun jumper dz that fly's a Caravan from Spaceland and is open 7 days a week.
