sounds interesting, where is it? S.E.X. party #1 "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "f*#k, what a ride".

yeah, from what I gather that is actually what you want to do under this canopy, but my advise is realize this before you land. Some of us are just a day late and a buck short as they say.

I think, if given the known title of "post whore" you should be compensated. I mean, I don't really know, but I'd guess there aren't many "whores" who give their services for free. Although, to argue my own point I wouldn't want to pay for some people's opinions (yes, that includes my own...)

Oh yeah! If you're going to do something that could possibly make you look foolish, or hurt yourself, try not to do it right in front of your girlfriend...they tend to get worried.

I could stop, but I feel that as an enthusiast, I am obliged to post more frequently than I did as a newbie. Oh and I could also add that i'm bored out of my tree, and have nothing else better to do.

Ok, this happened a while ago, and I'm just now getting to posting it for a few reasons, mostly due to negligence, but also because I wanted to make sure I actually knew what was going on at the time. Abbout a month and a half, two months ago I went up for a jump and was super excited as it was my first 4 way, and also the windsock was touching the ground. I had been getting some nice swoops out of my spectre 135 (about 1:1 wingload) and was looking very much forward to winding it up, and having some fun. The first part went alright...well, it was fun anyways, I think we got one point. I opened up, and did my control check etc, and started flying my canopy. I had a whole bunch of fun under it as usual, and was lining up beautifully on the bowl. I did about a 90 degree right riser carve, and noticed that I was going much faster than I was used to this low to the ground. I let up on the riser, and realizing I still had some time, decided to grab both risers and pull em down to keep the speed up. I got to the point where I normally open my hands and let the risers up all at once, but because I had done it a few times previously, I was a little more calm about it, and gradually let them up, rather than just letting go like I normally did. I think it was about half a second from the time I realized that I had to flare to the time I met dirt. My left ankle and left knee screamed to me that I was an idiot, I realized I was airborne again, and thought "I hope I have the ability to stand up when I land again." I did land again (of course) and luckily for me it was in the peas as I landed square on my head (according to my girlfriend who was sitting on the other side of the bowl. Anyhow, I laid there for a second, in pain, and actually laughed (don't ask why, I just did.) I mustered the guts to try and stand, not really expecting it to be possible, and although it still hurt like a bastard, everything seemed functional. These are my thoughts about the whole thing, and I will now say that I may be wrong, but I don't think so. I have spoken to some of the more experienced jumpers at the dz, and basically come to a few conclusions. 1) something that you hear all the time, but maybe don't fully realize until something happens...RESPECT YOUR CANOPY. it only takes one mistake, and it could bite you. I got away lucky with a free lesson. (sore foot about two months, but not sore enough to get it checked out.) 2) gradually letting up front risers IS NOT the same as just opening your hands and letting them go up on their own. Just letting go will cause them to return to their natural state very quickly and will basically help level you out faster, where as gradually letting them up takes a longer time to acheive the same attitude, and may require some toggle input to level you out. 3) I was once told that if you injure yourself in this sport due to something stupid you have done (hooking in, front riser flaring, etc...) you don't have the right to piss and moan about it. Actually I wasn't told like that, but that's the basic idea of it, and I personally sort of agree with it. BUT, don't make the same mistake I did, and play it off as no big thing. You have the responsibility to yourself to at least show the other people around that you have learned from your mistakes. (that way they don't think you are being retarded AND careless.) Well, I am sure there is more that I could put in this, but I can't really think of it for now, just thought I'd share my experience with you all, and see what it brings up. Take care and have fun.

Hrmmm..Northstar and Sierra Ski resorts have a joint season pass for $249. No job vs. Season Pass at a ridiculously low price... hmmm.... If given the option, I would choose the ski pass S.E.X. party #1 "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "f*#k, what a ride".

I'm not prepared to do anything for 1M...I think that's what's really scary because it's always the things you're unprepared for that are either the best or worst things you do in your life...I always get a kick out of the morally correct people saying they wouldn't shame themselves for money. I say plunk a suitcase full of benjamins down in front of em, and see how quickly they get down on their knees. on their knees to beg. why, what'd you think I meant?

you should have him on as a slave...some cultures would say the rest of his life is yours. All you have to do is sober him up a bit, then teach him to pack, and you could pay him with a shot glass of beer at the end of the day.

are skydive wayne county and skydive fargo the same places? I don't know really what's what down there, but I hope to leave either friday night, or very early saturday as to maximize the jumpable time. Gotta leave on sunday I think, so...

Just checking to see if anyone online here is from Fargo. Myself and maybe 2 other jumpers from Winnipeg are trying to make it down there this weekend to try and get some jumps in. Our home airport is hosting a sar tech competition this week and next weekend, so our dz is moving about 2.5 hours west. Given the extra time to travel, I figured what's another couple hours to see a new dz. Anyhow, just curious....

so, I've done some thinking, and have reached a few conclusions. 1) I think she actually wanted me to break up with her, and once she realized I wasn't going to do it quick enough for her liking, she just decided to leave. 2) I wouldn't really want to go out with me either right now...need to sort some things out first 3) Even though I had realization #2, I don't have the strength of character to stop having sex with myself :-) S.E.X. party #1 "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "f*#k, what a ride".

take this for what you will, but I hope I would've done the same thing...good for you. S.E.X. party #1 "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "f*#k, what a ride".

OK, here's the deal, I've been coming here since april of 2001, and more or less have3 remained a fly on the wall (43 posts) I'm tired of being a newbie, and figured I'd start this thread to see what kinda stuff was on other people's minds.

Not that I really know much, but I'd say if you were under control the whole time, and didn't freak out, then it's all good. I would however look in to WHY you popped 15 feet in the air and try to avoid that again unless necessary...just my opinion though.

I very frequently see "weekend numbers posted here, and they always start with a series of three or four numbers, and I'm tired of being out of the loop. I am curious as to what the numbers mean etc...any help here would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

so it seems lately there have been a lot of people posting about the end of relationships...well, here's another. I don't really think it's a bad thing, but it's kind of weird. You know how you've heard about times where people have come home, and found all of their gf's stuff out of the house...well, it was kind of like that, only I was there, and in what I thought was the middle of a conversation...turns out it was the end of a conversation, and the end of a few other things too. I guess when she said she thought things would be better if I NEEDED her, she was expecting a response other than, "maybe you're right." Thing is I don't really think it's a bad thing...in fact that's one of the things that bothered me about it, was that she was to "needy" oh well, just thought I'd vent and add to the list of cutaways I'd read about here.

I personally bought gear from skykat online gear shop. They requested full payment before shipping, then I had 5 days from the time I received it to decide if I wanted to keep it or not. Fortunately I was very pleased with my purchase, and still am.

I weigh about the same as you and progressed from the student Mantas 288 sq ft, then a 220 fury, then PD 190, and tried a sabre 150 as well as a 170. I eventually bought a spectre 135 when I had 43 jumps, and now have about 107 or so and love the canopy. It's a ZP 7 cell, and i really have nothing bad to say. You can tip toe land it, or using the right technique (or as much of the right technique as I know so far..) actually get a fair bit of swoop out of it. Already stated earlier in this forum, is that your experience is not our experience. Ultimately talk to people you know, and who have much experience and they can help you figure out what it is you're looking for. I don't know, just my thoughts. Good luck, and have fun.

I fly a 135 in my J1, and it fits very nicely, so I would think with a 120, you might have a little extra space, but if I was a betting man, I'd bet you'd be fine S.E.X. party #1 "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "f*#k, what a ride".
