    Multispeed

    I've had the multispeed for a couple years now and I love it. The flexibility is great! I use it for Tandems with the panels unzipped, AFF with the panels zipped most of the time, Tandem videos and freefly both ways depending on the jump. I even do some RW with it (although it does not have grips). I have sold my other jumpsuits because I just don't use them. The only issue I've had is I wore out the knees pretty quick from moving around on my knees with tandems and packing. But Deepseed sent me the heavier material, which I sewed in the knees and it looks brand new again. No issues since then. Overall, its a great suit and would recommend it to anyone.
  2. It's not really heavy. The helmet is a velocity helmet and the box is fiberglass, but its not quite as light as a RAWA. Jairo, I will be out there this weekend. You gonna be there?
  3. The box I built a few years ago, but has been beaten up over the years. I completly refiberglassed the box, sanded everything down and put some fresh paint and clear coat on it. When it was all done I gave it to my brother as a birthday/college grad present. Yes, he is a gator fan (as if you couldn't tell). Tell me what ya think.
  4. I also do this. I am a fairly new TI with less than 75 tandems, but after hearing of fatalities where students have fallen out the back of an improperly adjusted harness I don't want to take any chances. Its very easy to do in the "trap door" and makes for a smoother opening, so the students legs are not flying everywhere. Just my opinion though.
  5. Intervention?? Whats so bad about skydiving?? So what if we think about it all day, spend all of our money and time doing it, and wish for blue sky's all week long. That does mean I have a problem. right? Sounds like them people got issues!

  8. Thanks ! cost $150, only took an hour and a half.
  9. Thats why I got a closing pin. I wanted something related to all disiplines, and a closing pin is related to all of them. Get it now?
  10. This was my christmas present from last christmas form my fiance. I wanted something custom and skydiving related, but not single out one style (freefly, RW, canopy piloting, etc). Plus I am into hot rods and wanted to incorporate some kind of pinstripping. So this is what my tattoo artist came up with. Just got it yesterday. I love it!
  11. Good luck, most places now a days won't touch under age people. Too much liability. Cause the waivers just don't stand up in court. But maybe somebody will, so good luck

    Skydive Space Center

    Loved the place. Awesome few of coast and Kennedy Space Center. Super fast King air (right there with Mike Mullen's). 15,000ft jumps are sweet, as are the 18,000ft jumps for $5 extra. Was pretty windy in the early afternoon and the S&TA put a 200 jump minimum on the load. A couple of people in our group couldn't jump because of this. These people had over 100 jumps and were quite competent enough to decide for themselves. This is my only beef with them (I know safety first, but these were not students). All in all, it was a great visit. Go and check them out.

  14. Anybody know how to contact him? I will be going to Lake Wales for the 4th of July boogie, so I ask around. Thanks
  15. Anybody know of anywhere in Florida to get skysurfing coaching? I've always wanted to try it out and I am pretty confident I can handle it with the right coaching. I'm pretty decent at freeflying and RW. I live in Gainesville, but dont mind traveling to Z-hills or Deland or where ever. I've search the forums and found some useful info, but anybody else feel free to pitch in your 2 cents. Thanks -Justin
