  5. hey all, i definately agree with the downsizing too early thing. I just got back in the air two weeks ago, and made two more jumps today. everything went great. I have never been in a hurry to downsize too quickly. I figure sticking with a 210 or 190 canopy is fine for me for the foreseeable future. I don't plan on going any smaller than a 190 canopy until at least my 300th jump. I know that probably seems slow to some of you, but I feel more comfortable with a larger canopy above my head. Granted, I did break my leg while flying a 190, but that was my own fault due to a failure to flare when I should have. I don't believe that had anything to do with the canopy I was flying. If I was flying a smaller canopy I am sure I would have been more seriously injured. There were other factors like my foot hitting a tuft of grass and going under my butt and not being able to go anywhere else, so it snapped. If I had been flying a larger canopy and done the same thing, I am sure my leg would have still broken anyway. I listen and learn what the older jumpers tell me. I thought I had started a decent flare when I broke my leg, but upon listening to others that saw what happened, I obviously hadn't. I now make sure that I get a decent flare going on final approach. I was also told some of the characteristics of the canopy I was flying, and have learned that a three stage flare should be used with it. I was attempting a one stage flare going straight from full flight to full flare on my landings. Since trying out the three stage flare, my landings are much better and slower than they have ever been. take a tip from me, listen to people when they are trying to help you. It could save your life. Blue Skies! Sinister69 A-38927
  6. I just signed up to volunteer out there!!! I am planning on taking my tent and sleeping bag. Girlfriend might come along too. If anyone has extra space in an RV let me know, would be appreciated. also, anyone know how much it costs for registration? website doesn't say. I hope to have my B by then, but if not at least I will still be there and volunteering. Blue Skies! Sinister69 A-38927
