I just picked mine up from SSK in Ohio after I had an 8 year service done on it and they told me that alot of time they will have a few of them for sale there. Sometimes people dont pick them up or they have some that they rent out and sell sometimes, so if you give them a call you might get lucky. there number is (513) 934-3201STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!!

I was the victim of a premature reserve deployment on climb out of a 182 and got hung up on the horizontal stablizer with damage to the plane and a lot of hospital time I am still here. Not recommended to try, it could of killed a plane load of my friends. allways practice good plane safety!!STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!! LATER

Hey everybody I am thinking of making my first jump back after my accident last year. I was thinking about next weekend but I have been saying that for weeks now. I know that the skydive will be great once I am out the door it's just going near the door, the fear of being pulled out by my reserve is sometimes over whelming. I was hoping that my skydiving family would have some words of encouragemnet that might not put it out of my mind but help ease me back into it so I can feel the rush again.STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!!

I to have an MC-4 but mine is a gray color. My rigger had no problem converting it over to BOC and also put a cypress in it for me. On windy days it is hard to get penetration but it is a very slow and comfortable ride, enjoy the ride.STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!! LATER

Yes I was hurt last July when my reserve deployed out the door and it cut 4 line . I spiraled to the ground and broke my back and shattered my left ankle. I spent 2 months in hospital and 2 months at home on my back, been back to work for awhile and if everything goes well after my last doctors appoint ment in August I will be jumping again.STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!!

My kids love to go to Mcdonalds but I got tired of not getting the right food that i ordered so I just got to the point that when they hand me the food I don't move out of line until I check everything. Sometimes they get kind of mad but usually there is something wrong and it shuts them up real quick. Yes you are not dealing with rocket science but how hard can it be to put the whole bun on a burger.STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!! LATER

I had only one malfunction, my reserve came out as I was exiting a cessna 182 wrapping with the tail and then spiraling to the ground. 4 months later and some rehab I am back to work on light duty but unfortunetly my jumping days are over due to the back repair, but if I could i would be jumping tommorrow.

I was hoping to hear that we would be able to try and join the Anvil Brothers. Sorry that you wont be able to make it this year.STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!! LATER

When I first started to jump my flare points were all over the place so I started talking my problem over with some of the other jumpers and found out that I was looking straight down at the ground trying to judge my altitude and you cant do it that way. When I talked to my instructor he said that I should be looking out at about a 45 degree angle on my decent and when you can see the ground and the horizon it helps you judge your flare points better. I would suggest talking with your instructor and maybe get video of your landings to review later.STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!! LATER

I was wondering if any of the anvil brothers would be attending the WFFC this year? I tryed to make it out last year and make a jump with them in hopes of joining them but other commitments got in the way. This year is different and i will be there the last 4 days and hope to get a chance to try and join.
Thanks

My wife bought me one after my first jump and I usually only wear it when I am going out, but I don't wear it to the DZ . I love it because alot of people see it and ask me questions about it and I have even gotten a few of them to come out and give it a try.STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!! LATER

I loved the dive exits but I had trouble with flips because of not trusting my arch. The biggest thing that my instructors told me and it is true is to relax and trust your arch you will go belly to earth and have fun.STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!! LATER

I bought my first new helmet after trying a few on and bought the Z1 evo and really happy with it, it cuts down on the noise and has two internal auidable pockets. Try them on first if you can because the evo is sized alittle smaller than the pimp daddy.STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!! LATER

Hi Lisa sorry about the door fear, I never really had the door fear , my fear came when it was time to get on the plane and I had to walk to the plane. I still have the fear but it is not as bad, the guys at the DZ think its kind of funny that once I get on the plane and we start to taxi out I am fine and enjoy the skydive. The only thing that I can say is as you start to get more jumps and develop your skills the fear will lesson, good luck and Blue Skys!!!STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!! LATER
