  1. Sweet .... I hope to be jumping mine soon
  2. Actually it should be less but I can't tell 100% until I get my rig completed so I try to over estimate. I weigh 220 - 225 max.
  3. I'm a low nuimber jumper but I have a tendancy to do a "touch" of my hackey at about 7k.. Just so I know where it is
  4. I always wear mine on takeoff. I thought that was SOP..
  5. Lets talk wimpy wing loading Low jumper here. I have about 15 jumps on a rental Nav 220 and no problems. I have not wrung it out completely (geee no kiding in 15 jumps ) but have done very well with a lot of the stuff on the "list" that everyone refers to when downsizing is discussed. I'm not good but I'm safe. I have opened high quite a bit just to work on canopy skills because I consider the freefall to be the safe part and the landing to be the risky part of this sport. I expect my new canopy to be delivered this month and I'm just looking for some info on what to expect when I transition to it. I'll be stepping down to a 170 Stilletto Kidding .. I bought a Sihlouette 210. It's not much of a downsie and I expect to enjoy it for a few hundred jumps. I'll load it about 1.23:1 depending on the previous nights Black and Tan intake. Good choice ? I think so Opinions, Concerns ......
  6. Only once .. That was the day I took one for the team and cracked open a Fosters so the clouds would part. It worked so it was worth it .

  20. I saw a quick blurb on the news last night about someone recently jumping the worlds smallest chute. The narration stated it was the size of a sleeping bag or something like that . I really did not hear much of it but did catch a fast swoop out of the corner of my eye. Nothing came up on search. anyone have the scoop on this ??

  23. * I was so poor growing up ... if I wasn't a boy... I'd have had nothing to play with. * A girl phoned me the other day and said, "Come on over; nobody's home." I went over. Nobody was home. * It's been a rough day. I got up this morning ... put a shirt on and a button fell off. I picked up my briefcase, and the handle came off. I'm afraid to go to the bathroom. * I was such an ugly kid... When I played in the sandbox, the cat kept covering me up. * I could tell my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and radio. * I was such an ugly baby... My mother never breast-fed me. She told me that she only liked me as a friend. * I'm so ugly... My father carried around a picture of a kid that came with his wallet. * When I was born, the doctor came into the waiting room and said to my father, "I'm sorry. We did everything we could, but he pulled through." * I'm so ugly... My mother had morning sickness... AFTER I was born. * I remember the time that I was kidnapped and they sent a piece of my finger to my father. He said he wanted more proof. * Once when I was lost, I saw a policeman, and asked him to help me find my parents. I said to him, "Do you think we'll ever find them?" He said, "I don't know kid. There are so many places they can hide" * My wife made me join a bridge club. I jump off next Tuesday. * I'm so ugly... I worked in a pet shop, and people kept asking how big I'd get. * I went to see my doctor. "Doctor, every morning when I get up and I look in the mirror...I feel like throwing up; What's wrong with me?" He said..."I don't know but your eyesight is perfect." * I went to the doctor because I'd swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills. My doctor told me to have a few drinks and get some rest. * With my old man I got no respect. I asked him, "How can I get my kite in the air?" He told me to run off a cliff. * Some dog I got. We call him Egypt because in every room he leaves a pyramid. His favorite bone is in my arm. Last night he went on the paper four times - three of those times I was reading it. * One year they wanted to make me poster boy for birth control. * My uncle's dying wish was to have me sitting in his lap; he was in the electric chair.
