I have been checking into buying a military rig and was wondering how difficult it would be to find replacement parts such as chutes, d-bags and other parts that might need replacement. The rig is a MC5 halo rig and I would appreceiate any feed back on this subject. THANKS STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!! LATER SKYBOMB

I have just completed my 4th IAD jump and I missed my pto for the second time. My instructor says that my form out of the plan and motions are great and that my canopy control is fantastic but I just can't seem to get my hand on the practice throw out . Any one here have any suggestions on some sort of practice that I can do on the ground to get the hang of it. I did manage to nail my landing this time and land on my feet. anyway I would appreciate any help you can give me, because I am hooked. Thanks bigfall STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!! LATER SKYBOMB

Hello Emel Im bigfall and i have just started my training this year. I started out IAD and did my first jump solo and it was fantastic. The rush you feel when you step out is is unbeleivable. I'm sure that your first solo jump will be just as great and just as safe, just listen to your instructors and don't be afraid to ask questions and you will be hooked for life. Have fun STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH LATER!!!!!!! STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!! LATER SKYBOMB

I am so disapointed I went out to the DZ this sunday hoping to get in a couple of jumps and the wind was to high for students again. I'm running out of time soon it will be to cold here. I'm thinking of going south for a couple of jumps this winter does anybody have any good suggestions of what would be a good DZ somewhere down around Florida because I want to look into a couple of rig manufactures and maybe take a tour of the PD plant.

I finally got some good weather out at the DZ but the place was crowded and I only got to make on jump. I did my first PTO and totally missed my throw out my exit from the plane was great according to my instructor but when I went for the practice throw out I felt like I was loosing my arch and went back into my arch and sense I am doing IAD my chute was out before I could try again. any suggestions?

Hello everyone, it's allmost the weekend and I am starting to feel the rush. For the past two weeks I have been trying to get out to the DZ but the weather has not been good enough for solo students to jump. last sunday the wind was to high so I am going to try again this sunday. cant wait I hope to get in at least 3 jumps with my PTO so that the next time I go I can do my first clear and pull. STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH. LATER!!!

I went to DZ with sort of a problem being a bit on the larger size. I work construction and weight lift so my weight was to high for student chutes,most people would have just said no but the staff at Wayne County DZ were great Jamie and Amy worked things out with one of the instructors and two weeks later I am taking my class for static line and have made 2 jumps and have plans to get my license in the spring. If there were a award for the greatest peaple and DZ they would get my vote. GREAT PEAPLE ARE HARD TO FIND. A+++++

HAPPY BIRTHDAY I cant think of anything else that be better as a present to yourself. how was your jump, was it everything that you hoped for? STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!! LATER SKYBOMB

you will eventually be able to sleep it took me awhile but everytime that I woke up it was because of the great feeling that I got when gliding to the ground under canopy. keep jumping and good luck bigfall STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!! LATER SKYBOMB

Hey jeepdiver that smile that you cant seem to stop you won't be able to its perminant the same as the thought that you did something that not a very many people can get the courage to even think about congradulations HAPPY JUMPING. GOOD LUCK bigfall STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!! LATER SKYBOMB

Hello Lucie813 my name is bigfall it really is hard to discribe the feeling when you go out the door, I however have only made 2 solo static line jumps the weather seems to be against me for making anymore jumps. this past weekend I was suppost to make 3 more jumps but the wind was to high for solo students. If you think that tandum is great just wait until you solo the feeling of freedom and power is undescribable.I don't know how old you are but I started late and would not stop now if you offered me a million dollars. KEEP JUMPING THE SKY REALLY IS YOUR PLAY GROUND NOW, LATER!!!! STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!! LATER SKYBOMB

Hello everybody I cant even begin to explain the feeling that I got when the jump master gave me the thumbs up and out the door I went. I just did my first two jumps about four weeks ago, I had to go IAD because of my size and one of my instructors was nice enough to help me out and convert one of his tandum rigs so I could do static line jumps. I am scheduled to take three more jumps this saturday and I cant wait. JUMPERS AWAY THANKS,BIGFALL STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!! LATER SKYBOMB

At the beginning of this year I weighed 329lbs but before I took my first jump this year I had dropped to 267lbs and hope to do better thanks for all your help,bigfall STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!!

I have recently completed my first two static line jumps and am scheduled two make two more on the weekend of October 8th. My problem is that I am a construction worker and a former weight lifter so I am on the rather large size which is my problem stems from. I have been taking my classes at Wayne County airport in richmond Ohio and one of the instructors had a chute that was for tandum jumping and was able to convert it for a single jumper to make their static line jumps for the first five jumps after that I needed to buy my own rig to complete the course and get my A class license. My question is where can I go to find information or even a rig that I can use to finish the most exciting thing that I have ever done.
