  1. Congrats and keep up! It'll be worth it... All your dropzone are belong to us!!!!111!
  2. I check both brake line before packing after the last jump of the day. Since I'm doing this, I've never had more that 3-4 twists in the lines. Next time, I'll check if one brake line has usually more twists than the other. All your dropzone are belong to us!!!!111!
  3. The bold characters are important because I remember a fatality (in Australia if I'm correct) where one of the causes was the installation of normal risers on a PdF container (made for reversed risers). I'd ask a rigger anyway before using that credit card Edit: found the incident thread here All your dropzone are belong to us!!!!111!

  7. You can skydive and BASE in GTA San Andreas. Free fall is not too badly modelled: you can turn and track. Canopy piloting is so-so (no hard turns/swooping/stalls). And the rest of the game is a huge sandbox... Very fun if you take it at the 2nd degree. I don't recommend it for young teens tho. All your dropzone are belong to us!!!!111!
  8. Very interesting post. Can you explain those concepts or are they related to your work only? Thanks All your dropzone are belong to us!!!!111!
  9. To the OP: I don't know who it is, but the guy is obviously prepping to drop a dirty bomb... All your dropzone are belong to us!!!!111!

  12. Usually not superstitious but when I took up skydiving I was wearing a T-Shirt that my daughter (who was 5 yrs old back then) had decorated as a gift for Father's Day and I've worn this T-Shirt on almost all my jumps. TBH, I'll have to find another lucky charm soon because the T-Shirt is now in a sad state... All your dropzone are belong to us!!!!111!

  14. Yeah, there are some lame characters on that forum... To bring back a smile on your face, just remember that they are grown-up men pretending to be fighter pilots on their computer (I did it too and it's quite fun actually but I learned quickly to hide this hobby like a shameful disease...). This being said, there are some very cool people over there too... All your dropzone are belong to us!!!!111!
  15. Thanks, there it is All your dropzone are belong to us!!!!111!
  16. A few days ago, there was a discussion on another forum (video game - www.hitechcreations.com) about 'the suicidal tendencies' of skydivers and base jumpers. I tried to answer as best as I could but your essay is so much better that I'd like to post it over there. Are you ok with it? All your dropzone are belong to us!!!!111!
  17. I'm just back from a 3.5 days trip to this DZ and I've had a great time: -blue skies all along -breathtaking scenery -professional and responsible staff -friendly locals -2 cooly painted Porters -large packing area ... I highly recommend it
  18. I've heard that you need a D-license to be allowed to smoke during free fall All your dropzone are belong to us!!!!111!

  23. I had a hard pull after using that method and wasn't able to clear it by my hard deck so it ended up being a reserve ride, so I guess no method is completely foolproof That being said, I had kind of the same experience as you except that I was able to clear it on the 2nd try. I hadn't done any practice pull, lesson learned. All your dropzone are belong to us!!!!111!
  24. Hey I hadn't noticed that. Thanks for the heads-up. To the original poster, I do as advised in the manual. I've never had a problem. I also pass the toggle pin into the loop made by the stowed extra brake line before inserting the pin into the riser. All your dropzone are belong to us!!!!111!
