    Anyone else like to get them done early like me?



    2624 to altitude and one hop and pop.

    And yes I like to get my taxes done early. I will be moving to Canada in Q2 and its going to be worse. 18% sales tax and 40% income tax.



  2. I did 23 jumps this year.

    Did my first jump on Oct 5th an AFF1, twisted left ankle. Started AFP on Nov 1st after a tandem and did 22 jumps until nov 28th when I broken the left ankle.

    It could have been 50. What do jump numbers mean to me anyway? I am just a fun jumper who likes to wear a "No Fear" T-Shirt :P

    I would not want them to be annoyed by my being pleased with myself for a stand-up landing.



    Amen, sista! I always do a little victory dance when i stand up my landings.

    And Kris, I don't think that you got the fact that Jessica got the sarcasm in PhillyKev's post (:S), thought it was funny, and was simply adding on some of her own. At least that's the way I took it, because I thought both posts were very witty. :)

    I was never witty, so I missed the whole point. [:/]

    While secretly, under their breath are "pissed off with the people" who are proud of their own accomplishments even if they aren't as radical as their own.

    Sky gods rule!!!!



    Snicker.

    :)
    They should have special, separate DZs for the the jumpers that do sweet carving 270s and trail the ditch landing safely and stroll off the landing area with nothing more than a smile.

    He was making fun of the original poster.

    lol...

    I PW on DZ.com all day at work, and then go home and play EverCrack. Can we tell that I have no life?



    I usually don't get on websites from work. Our company is closing down so I spend a lot of time on the web now. At home its a different story.

    Never learnt the "Art of PW" though :P

    I got to inspect and test jump one.

    Very clean design. I think the craftsmanship was very high end. They must have some amazing sewers! Some cool features too. Like the riser protection. It extends past the reserve tray. Plus it comes with all the bells and whistles as standard. Articulated, stainless, comfy backpad....



    I think its a good thing that Aerodyne set a precedent by including all the popular options in the base price instead of charging an arm and a leg for options.

    This is a good thing for us.

    Well, I read your incident post, and it sounds like you downsized too quickly once already. Do you want to do that again?

    I'm not saying that 1.05 is necessarily too much, but what's wrong with a .95 wing loading (210 sq ft)?

    Think about WHY you think you need to down size, and compare that to having another accident. What's the hurry?

    Just my 2 cents,
    Rock



    I have thought about that a Spectre 210 would fit my container and so would a PD210. So which one of those?

    Teachers are paid too much! I'm fed up with teachers and their hefty salaries for only 9 months work! What we need here is a little perspective. If I had my way, I'd pay teachers baby sitting wages.

    What will teachers say about those who have 10 years of experience and a master's degree?



    The Problem : You want someone to make less money than you. That is outside your control, instead try and make *more* money yourself.

    Try and get a job as a teacher maybe? :)
    I find this to be a classic pattern, there are so many people that whine at work, they always find something to whine about(I avoid going to lunch with them ;)). More often than not I've noticed that they fail to realize that what is holding them back from greater things is such negative thinking.

    Edited to Add : *more*
    Think positive and wish you all the luck in the world,

    I am not jumping for the next 4 months atleast. Until I can get back to running my 3 miles in 20 mins everyday.



    No I am not jumping with unhealed injuries. I will be enjoying a few months of "picnic bench jumping" sipping a hot beverage or a cold beer.

    My Mirage G4 M5 is in production right now(paid a pretty penny for that). The largest Sabre 2 it will fit is a 190. I will start back on the Sabre 230 and go thru the whole canopy progression again.

    Maybe I'll just store that and get an old H/C that can hold a ZP 230.

    from my own experience:

    I have 22 jumps. I'm wingloading at .75. My landings are spot on, in the circle at perris for the last 8 times I've jumped there.

    at this point in my jumping life, I would not dream of a 1.03 wingloading, especially with a cast.

    Talk to your instructors. I'm just relating my own experience here.

    Also, a cast could make your freefall difficult. you will have more weight on one side than on the other, which can make it difficult to maintain stability. You'll also be foot heavy (I thought you said you broke your ankle), and landing with a cast on your foot can't be easy.

  11. I have 23 jumps total. I started on a Sabre 230 and moved to the Sabre 190(via the 210) on my 18th jump. I don't have issues with flying a pattern and most of my landings were accurate to 30 m. I completed the accuracy requirements for the A-license around the 16th jump.

    I weigh 170(with Cast etc.) now. I would be loading the 190 at 1.05. I will be not be jumping if the conditions even seem remotely unsavoury.

    So is 1.05 too much? I will be starting out again on the 230(due to the downtime...read incident posted by me) and working my way down.
