I really like the vengeance so far. I've only got about 20 jumps on it, so I don't know it super well, but I've finally gotten used to the different flare from the stiletto, and things are looking up. I took Brian Germain's canopy seminar, and that helped too. I love flying it, and am looking very much forward to playing with it for a long time. I personally love the dive... that's one of the reasons I got that canopy, and it certainly doesn't disappoint. It leaves a lot more control I find.

not to hijack the thread, could you send me a PM and describe your technique of deflating it? I tried PM'ing this to you, but it said I couldn't.

Congrats! It certainly was not sucking at Burnaby this weekend. 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".

so where's the problem, keep doing that! 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".

definately depends on the person, but mostly just canopy skills... I have borrowed and lent gear quite a few times, and probably will in the future, in fact the first jump on my brand new canopy was by another jumper who is more experienced than I, to see if it was good to go or not.

yeah, me too... it was sent to the current owner of my "perfect spot" so I was really hoping for something else, but thought this would be something worth while to do with the alternative.... lol, so much for appearing sensitive on this thread 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 had this sent to me in an ecard... thought it was definately post worthy 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".

lol, especially considering he's jumping 600+ square ft canopies 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 hate to break it to you, but you just typed more than you would have had to if you were to type it out... that's without mentioning copy and paste. hehehe http://kestrelsales.com/jumpers/pond-skipper.mpg 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".

coulda been.. I thought of that too, I just didn't want to stick around to find out really... I know I've never been up to much good at 3 am when I'm hanging out with that many of my friends. Either way, I wonder what he lost if it was a bet.

ouch, that hurt... I wouldn't have been freaked out if I'd been driving another vehicle, but I just bought this one two weeks ago... I didn't want anything to happen to her... plus there's a lot of glass that coulda been broken... or paint... ok fine... my dress was caught in the door. I also woulda kicked all their asses, but I dropped my purse and that was what was actually pressing the gas, my little chicken like legs didn't have any power left to do that they were shaking so bad.

some non-skydiving friends who got tired of me telling them I couldn't hang out on weekendsand I sold a PS2 with about 50 dvd's two summers ago for jump money. Not really all that much considering what I've gained in return.

Ok, so I should have been sleeping as I have 2 exams tomorrow, but instead went over to a friend's house to watch some movies and chill out. I'm almost back home (3 a.m.) and stopped at a red light in my van. I take very quick notice of a red kind of sporty looking car with about six guys shoved into it pull up beside me, and go back to thinking about skydiving and sleep. I catch some sort of movement out of the corner of my eye, see the guy on the passenger side in the back getting out, looking at the van... as the light turns green, I accelerate, he starts running.. I pin it, he runs faster... I have a 350 ci engine and 3/4 of the way through the intersection he was still running after the van like Ben Johnson on speed. I obviously won that battle, took a very scenic route home to make sure they weren't following me, and so far so good. I am just really curious as to what was up... maybe the poor guy was just tired of being sardined into a little car like that and wanted a ride with some leg room... I don't know, it just kinda freaked me out. I'm keeping an eye out the window for now to make sure they aren't from around here or something, so I figured I'd post it. I now am going to get even less sleep than the less than responsible me was going to get before this happened. Ah well, hope his friends had a good laugh, I kinda did looking at his face as he was chasing me.

I don't mean to be a jerk, sometimes it just happens. To start, good luck with the allergies... Now for the purpose of my post... BEEEEER!!

That one was indeed tough. I don't really remember it so much because I kinda got sick of the game for a while as it took me so long to beat it. You get a couple cool new skaters after though.... stick with 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".

I think with the raised cost of running an airplane these days, keeping jump tickets the same price is impressive enough. I also think that if there was a raise in both instructor pay, and jump tickets, they would negate each other. The instructors pay for fun jumps too after all.

of course it's pink. It started with my jumpsuit, now my container... oh yeah, my main has some too. 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 think I'll put a reserve in it first hopefully at the end of the month. If I can wait that long... hehehe edited to add: ok, I broke down and ordered a reserve too 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".

So, here it is... I took pics of the canopy, but they for some reason didn't stay on the digital camera I took them with, and I've already packed it into the bag... with some difficulty of course. Anyhow, it's bought and payed for including the beer.

You could always buy a used 150 for that amount of jumps... it wouldn't depreciate much at all with that number of jumps on it. I bought my spectre 135 for 950, and sold it 80ish jumps later for 900, just something to think about 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".

next 6 months: find a new temporary home dz, do about 100-150 jumps, keep learning, and not hurt myself or anyone else. 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".

honestly, I'd probably keep shopping if you're really that turned off by the colours, but really, it's all about function. There's a guy at my dz that has the uhhh... oddest... looking gear. I won't tell you his name (gulaz) but he got gear for a really really good deal. It looks... well.... I'll let him describe it to you, but it works, and that's really all that matters... you could have the coolest looking gear ever, if it (in the case of the jumpsuit) keeps you from falling with people, then what good is it? all that's going to do is make you look like a poser. You can take the other gear, that may look less modern, and fly like the wind... the only people who'll think less of you, is the people on the ground, and what are they really?
