I think it's just peachy

I made my 100th @ a different dropzone while participating in the GSL meet. I kinda mentioned it @ my home DZ that I hadn't had my pie'ing but still no pie for me. Oh well, guess I'll try again @ my 200th. PMS #62 Zarza R[red

Thanks SO much for all the advice. I'm going to try opening higher and play with my flare point as Michele suggested and look into doing a demo with a ZP canopy. Thanks again for all the advice. I'll keep posted as to my progression. PMS #62 Zarza R[red

I am flying a PD-170 F111 Main with a wing loading of 1:1. I bought it used and it had close to 500 jumps on it. I have 113 jumps and have been jumping it since my 35th jump. I have to say that my flare really sucks, I only stand up about 20% of my landing and that is generally on windy days. To be honest I was tempted not to post this because I felt like with my number of jumps this shouldn’t even be an issue. But I figured it’s better to suck up my pride and get as much advise as possible before I slide in another landing. I know that I am not flaring as hard as I should be according to people that have witnessed some of my landings. I feel like I am getting the right amount of pressure when I flare but I guess I’m not driving it in as hard as I should. With that said, what do I need to work on? What practices can I do to let myself know….”Yup now that’s a flare?” I’ve been told that it might not be such a bad idea to get someone to video my landings. I don’t want to get all emo in this post but it’s getting a little disheartening because I’m starting to get to a point that makes me think, “You’re just not getting this so maybe it’s not for you” and this is something I don’t want to think. Skydiving is one of the major joys in my life and it has really opened my eyes to meeting new people and coming out of my shell. It may sound silly but one of my skydiving goals is to be that kick @$$ jumper that you overhear people saying, “If you get a chance jump with her because she knows her $#!%” But how can I be a kick @$$ skydiver if I can’t flare worth a flip. Well I’ll end this before I start ranting more than I have already.

0:0:3 Kinda rainy weekend but some jumps is better than none. PMS #62 Zarza R[red

So you think the mail order bride thing is a bait and switch like a car dealer? How does that whole mail order bride thing work anyways? Do they come FedEx wrapped in bubble wrap or something? PMS #62 Zarza R[red
