  4. Hey Lee! Thanks for your response, I’m asking here because I’m not a US Citizen, and in Chile (my country) there is no smoke jumpers, it’s not the fun what I’m after, I’ve always dream become a smoke jumper, that’s the reason I’ve become a skydiver in the first place.

  5. Thanks bro! I’ve already find that info but when you choose the recruitment page I can’t find the smoke jumper position! If anyone knows something or know someone who is a smokejumper please give me his contact info!!!

    Cheers from Chile

    There DZ's that will make you fill out a single log sheet so that you can show them a written logbook.



    yup! went to a so cal dz with my logbook back in the days that I actually recorded my jump numbers but ever since I got my D license I never get autographs unless its someone famous or infamous. She looked at it and said "sign that last jump"

    to which I replied "uhh what?"

    then I signed it... :S

    So, what's the big idea behind this signing stuff?



    I have no idea!!!! but if you have a great app like this one or other, it's really easy to have it always on you, you have it on dropbox your ipad and your phone.

    It's really stupid that some DZ requires paper... it's like so old days! and if the ask you to sign YOUR last jump it's like a scene from Dumb and dumber

    ***i'm buying a completely new rig, Vector V3 plus canopy so i'm not planning to use it very soon.



    This is true. I've often said "I can grow a human child faster than they can build me a rig." :D:D:D


    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA so i'm not that stupid after all???:P

  19. I'm really interested in all your input, and i'm very thankful

    i know that wind is never a reason for downsizing, i'm still flying my 190 and i'm planing to do so for 6 plus more months.

    Even when i get my new canopy if i'm not ready for using it i will keep it in my home. I'm buying the 169 because i'm buying a completely new rig, Vector V3 plus canopy so i'm not planning to use it very soon.

    I started flying a 265 just for my 5 first jumps, i was very difficult for me to fly that canopy because of the wind and turbulence, after that i was using a 230 but it was almost the same, now i'm using 190 y it feels great, great flying and landing. but i'm not ready to downsize just yet to a 169. I'm buying it for next season!!!

    Your profile says you have 20 jumps and are currently jumping a 230 square foot canopy loaded at 1.02 lbs/sf, which means you have an exit weight of approximately 235 lbs. Assuming all of that data is accurate, I would personally (as a grumpy old skydiver) recommend that neither canopy in that size is a good choice. A wingloading of 1.38 as a new jumper is outside of the generally-accepted wingloading recommendations.

    The good news is that both of those canopies come in several larger sizes and are good choices at an appropriate wingloading.

    These recommendations should also apply to the reserve canopy that you choose.
