  1. vans majority of the time and when im doing crw i will jump with some old wrestling shoes but i love my vans for jumping and the occasional skating
  2. ive heard this event is for military adn miltary dependents but that is only what i heard if you can clarify this please let me know because i might be joining a team for the event
  3. i try and be out every weekend but there are the weekends that i have to go to my biological fathers house( try to avoid it as much as possible so i can jump) and if the chance comes along i will swing by a dz during the week to make a jump but not very often seeing im in school right now
  4. as far as i know all the paperwork has to be in by sept 30th but dont take my word for it i could be wrong so if anyone out there knows the real deal let us know
  5. from waht i was hearing it was the 30th but oh well my paperworks there and hopefully i will be getting my license within the next week or so
  6. Its finally on its way!!! When i first heard bout uspa raising the jump numbers for the licenses i thought well i need to get the jumps in to get the license and at first i didnt think i was gonna make it but this past weekend i made my 200th jump a great 4-way and right after the jump i had the paperwork faxed off and also i got my stiletto 135 sent off to be relined so i can officially call it mine and start jumpin it soon as it gets back. im so happy teh weather held out long enough so i could get teh jump in.
  7. thanks for the info im pretty sure that would work out great with chester seeings as how we jump at skydive coastal carolinas just south of wilmington, nc. i will let the guy know and hopefully he gets it done
  8. I have a friend who viper 120 adn needs to have it relined but the only problem is he cant find out the information on getting it relined adn i was wondering if any of you guys know teh costs of a reline or any other information it would be well appreciated
  9. 17 but i turn 18 in less than 2 months
  10. skydive coastal carolinas, nc raeford, nc skydive place, nc and been to but never jumped because of age, adrenaline airsports, va crosskeys, nj blue sky adventures when in was in shelton, wa
  11. ive done a 2500' jump before because of clouds on a stiletto never doin that again i dumped right off the step adn passed 2 people who waited to pull while my canopy was still sniveling scary stuff but fun talk about an adrenaline rush
  12. i do the same thing for my friend who jumps a sabre 190 and i dont think he has ever had a hard opening since then and in doing that he kinda got to the point where he only wants me to pack for him now but thats alright with me. just roll the 4 outside cells in and stuff them in the center one and roll teh crap out of teh tail
  13. currently i have 154 jumps and im plannin on gettin 200 in by the end of september the only problem that im hitting right now is that thing called money so that is why im doing hop 'n pops i have all the requirements met so all i have to do is get the jump numbers good luck to all you tryin for it
  14. my dad really enjoys it cause its now something that we both enjoy doing together seeings as how we both do it but my mom on the other hand just has to deal with it cause if she tries to make me quit all i have to do is talk to my dad and he'll let me continue to go so i guess its good to have a father in the sport
  15. this past weekend i did something new and exciting. i only have a few CRW jumps with my dad so i dont have alot of experience. Well this weekend i got to do CRW with someone new and got to do new stuff. And yes i owe beer on this one but i aint buyin til i turn 21 But i tagged him and that was a first then we went to side-by-side(another first) tehn we turned it to a down plane and of course that was another first. But that was the jump that ive had the most fun on in a long time.
  16. yea it is a great thing starting young. i am 17 and i have 129 jumps to date and am loving it. The only prob i have is that jumping gets expensive quick. luckily i got all of my own gear adn get to use my dads gear when he aint usin it now the only thing i gotta pay for is jumps( gets rather expensive rather quick with no job)
  17. well it depends on the one your talking about. i normally jump at one that is abut 2 hrs away from my house even though i live within 30 mins of two dz's.
  18. Does anyone know of a college in North Carolina that has a team or a club seeings as how im gonna be heading off to college after the summer of 2004
  19. 0:2:0 i got two jump in this weekend. Gotta hate those low clouds..
  20. I know theres a canopy generator out there on the web someplace cause ive seen it and used it. But for some reason i can't find it and i was wondering if any of you guys out there know of a place that might contain one. I appreciate it. And for those of you who dont know what one is, it lets you put the colors in teh spots of the canopy to see what it will look like before you buy it. Greg
  21. The thing that i have been told to do when i am below a safe cutaway altitiude is to do a canopy transfer. which is to fire your reserve adn watch over your shoulder and when your reserve gets to about shoulder level you should cut away your main. This will cause u to swing under your reserve as it finishes deploying but this is only what i have been told to do in this situation. Greg
  22. anything and everything by taking back sunday
  23. looks like it will be a good looking canopy. one of my friends jump a hornet and says its a great canopy i have not had the oppurtunity to jump one yet but i hope i get the chance. hope you enjoy the canopy adn congrats
  24. yea im sorry that number was a typo and the wingload is actually 1.29 thanks for catching that....lol...i dont think i weigh over 300 pounds but let me check real quick. nope i didnt think so. Greg
