yeah, i know. i think they drew straws to pick who had to jump with me. thanks eveyone

i went that slow during aff. i remember my instructor asking how fast after the cat. d dive --- it showed 72mph just before pull time. my avg was in the 80's.... i keep getting faster, just not fast enough. anyway, so that's why i made such a broad scale. i'm just trying to figure out the norm. not all belly flyers fly boxman. i guess i was just trying to consider everything and aimed a little high ETA: TAS? SAS? i have no idea... i have never used a protrack. the neptune reads at 12k, 9k, 6k, and 3k, then gives your avg speed. it also knows my ff time/ doesn't factor in canopy speed. if i'm wrong, someone correct me. i just drew that conclusion last weekend after a hop n pop. ("0 mph") i didn't lose my mind, i sold it on ebay. .:need a container to fit 5'4", 110 lb. cypres ready & able to fit a 170 main (or slightly smaller):.[/ce

belly to earth/not going over the hill/not head down... you know! i'm working on docking and fall rate. i want to be able to fly with anyone... not just people that can fall slow. soooo i'm curious, what's your avg fall rate on your belly? last weekend my avg hit a record high and hit 120!!! but was never able to dock. also, my avg. rate is increasing, but i'm also pulling lower... so i'll just go with fast-over-the-hill-numbers: the neptune reads anywhere between 114mph and 118mph at 9-6k. it used to be lower and my fallrate going over the hill just depends. during aff/my first solo, i hit double digits... 70's and 80's (my instructors rock!) ......so it used to be a lot lower and i KNOW i'm getting faster!!! but i'm curious, what's average? i didn't lose my mind, i sold it on ebay. .:need a container to fit 5'4", 110 lb. cypres ready & able to fit a 170 main (or slightly smaller):.[/ce

i don't know him (shocker) is shannon on dz.com? that's cool tho.... i forgot how the game works but i hope he does well! come onnnnnn doowwwwwwwnnnnn (that is the price is right... right???) i didn't lose my mind, i sold it on ebay. .:need a container to fit 5'4", 110 lb. cypres ready & able to fit a 170 main (or slightly smaller):.[/ce

the price is right still airs? i mean, cool!!! so he's going to be in the audience? that shirt will stand out nice. is that the same joe from sdh? affi? i didn't lose my mind, i sold it on ebay. .:need a container to fit 5'4", 110 lb. cypres ready & able to fit a 170 main (or slightly smaller):.[/ce

hey, that's awesome!!! i have more instructor jumps than the avg student, but i'm hoping it will make me a better jumper having spent all this time at the dz soaking in valuable instructor time. i think my patience would have given up a while back, so congrats on your big accomplishment.. have fun!!! i didn't lose my mind, i sold it on ebay. .:need a container to fit 5'4", 110 lb. cypres ready & able to fit a 170 main (or slightly smaller):.[/ce

best advice yet in my opinion... stretching makes such a difference the next day. i'm still working on staying hydrated without shedding gear 50x a day (i exaggerate.. a lot). why the rush though? make sure you get all your questions answered... sometimes being in a hurry can suck. i ask, and ask and ask.. and reading dz.com only sparks more q's. i've decided to limit myself to 2-3 jumps/day for a few reasons. mainly budget. i just want to make sure i fully understand everything. but yeah, if you have great weather and the bank account to do it in a week or two.. go for it! i've seen several fly through the course. it's doable... i just needed a little more help- goodluck

.....or the beach. a gym? bleh! you can do that at home. actually, i'm pretty sure there's REAL rock climbing near perris, isn't there? but if you have the money, i'd spend it jumping.. or at the tunnel... they send up loads like crazy! *sigh* i wanna go. are you going to rent a car? (i hitchhiked--ok, not really tee hee hee.. thanks ladonna!) where are you flying into? i usually fly into john wayne because my family in del mar, but got to see sandiego for the first time last jan! weeeeee have tons of fun!!!!!! i didn't lose my mind, i sold it on ebay. .:need a container to fit 5'4", 110 lb. cypres ready & able to fit a 170 main (or slightly smaller):.[/ce
