    I do pack my own rig, I just haven't been jumping that often this summer. ***Free bird Forever
  4. What type of liscence do you need to have to participate in a tracking dive? ***Free bird Forever

    I agree, it just seems that alot of people think I should get more skydives, and flying a wingsuit would probably give me the illusion of flying instead of falling. ***Free bird Forever

    The triathlon is a 150 that I probably could borrow again, but if i;m going to practise accuracy with it I should probably look into getting my own. ***Free bird Forever

    I know that paragliding won't help me get into base but I tried it last year and really liked it for an alternative sport. I don't know if skydiving is for me, i'm not that interested in formation skydiving, I prefer the rush and flying through the air, tracking. I'm not at all putting down skydiving, it does make me happy but I think paragliding or base jumping would do the same. It's just that other skydivers think it gets boring to always jump alone, so it's necessary to work for your B minimum, i'm not shure if that's what I want to do, i'm a little confused ***Free bird Forever

    I'm confused about some stuff. I started skydiving because I had an interest to get into base. I was told that having a couple hundred jumps would make base jumping easier to learn. Also I always thought of skydivers as being open minded but lately i'm getting the impression that most skydivers don't like base jumping or even talking about it. I really want to learn more about it, is there another way. As much as I love the rush of skydiving, if it's not getting me to my goal I think I'd rather be paragliding. ***Free bird Forever
  12. I'm not jumping that often but lately the jumps I do put me in a good mood and if I go a while without jumping I get miserable. Yeah i'm addicted
  13. I just started jumping again after taking a year off cause I was pregnant. I was pretty scared before I did my first jump, even when we were going up in the plane. Once I did the jump though I couldn't understand why I was so scared, it just seemed so natural. One tip I will offer is to have an instructor go over a bunch of stuff with you. When I came down from that jump the wind almost blew me away cause I forgot to pull one toggle to calapse the canopy.
  14. never heard of it, it sounds pretty cool though. ***[blue/]Free bird Forever
  15. I had to shrink the pic that small just so it would fit the 100 kb max. If you have any suggestions to make it bigger, please let me know. ***Free bird Forever
  16. yep, you guessed it. It's a '74' ***Free bird Forever
  17. yeah I know, we drove it across canada, lots of prairie land ***Free bird Forever
  18. We picked it up in washington and drove it back to ontario. She needs a little TLC, but isin't she a beauty ***Free bird Forever
  19. i'd be interested, let me know if something like that is going down ***Free bird Forever
  20. I haven't actually base jumped yet, but it's the reason I started skydiving. I want to base jump because i'm a rush junkie, and this kind of sport was a good substitute for drugs ***Free bird Forever
  21. I'm still working on getting some more skydives in and to complete my A but I was wondering what you guys think about going to bridge day if your not jumping. Do you think I might get some good tips for base jumping and gear or should I wait til next season and just take a course? ***Free bird Forever
  22. Thanks hun, can't wait ***Free bird Forever
  23. Any chance your rig can fit a 150? I think so, I know my bag is big enough, it makes packing easy. ***Free bird Forever
