  1. let me know when you going to go. I just might get off my ass and go also.
  2. everyone is telling you to read the S.I.M. this is a really good idea. what they failed to mention is what the S.I.M. is, or where you get it. the S.I.M. = Skydivers Information Manual it is located here, it is a free download. http://www.uspa.org/Portals/0/Downloads/Man_SIM_2008.pdf after reading it, you will have plenty of questions to ask.
  3. do you think you can help the ones from alabama too?
  4. as long as you can pack well it should fit.
  5. will you give me the $5 in advance so i can play?
  6. I dont really like my job. hahaha... and anyway, my boss would be all about it, I think, and he would let me work when i needed.
  7. I do not see how anyone could NOT sign up. this is a great chance to do something amazing in your life. I seriously doubt I would get picked, but hey, that is no reason for me not to fill out an application. so I did.
  8. that has actually happened to quite a few people.
  9. like I said years ago, I dread the day I see you "dial it in" steve.
  10. get your own gear and have the pilotchute pouch sewn on backward so you use your other arm.
  11. cpc course is shorter. also the cpc uses 10 ft gates.
  12. http://www.canopypiloting.com/proshop.asp scroll down. it is there. $30
  13. I think he is under a 103 velo with the factory small hma lines. also with full rds. loaded at aprox 2.5-2.6 that is a guess though.
  14. happy B day! we should have celebrated together. mine is tomorow! hi brandy
  15. that is called harnas turn.... Yes, harness turning is the same thing. I see, on the forum, some people loosen leg straps and push them down thighs to have a greater affect when harness turning. It is the same thing to help it by using front and rear risers as I suggest, isn't it? I do not know where you got the idea that we loosen our leg straps for using our harness to turn. but you need to get that idea far far out of your mind. that is completely false, and dangerous.
  16. here is the fai rule on the speed course setup. I will let you do the math.
  17. nice job hans. guess that proves bigger canopies CAN go faster!
  18. Hans is the owner of skydive the farm. I am 100% sure he is big enough to keep up with you and he is an aff instructor. I would also be willing to go as the other instructor. I have some experience now wearing 30-40 lbs of lead.
  19. I am sure there is a reason why this problem is not fixed yet. I just would like to know why, or if anything, is it being worked on. I can not spell worth a crap, and I really like this feature, it has been months since I have been able to use it. tried it tonight, same old shit. shuts it all down. it has been quite a learning experiance though, I find myself responding to somthing I see in a thread, type my response, then delete it because I CAN NOT SPELL!!!!!
  20. P.D. would not offer this AT ALL not long ago. so be nice! at least if you compete, you can get the factory to make these for you now. this was not the case not to long ago. It took some bitching, but they did it. don't make them take it away now.
  21. I found one for you, but I ignored it because you said you had one. call me, you can come look at it at any time. 2500$
  22. nope, It was before that. 4A4
  23. I will throw in my high recommendations also.
