But inevitably the docile canopies get fucked over by being forced to land in East Bumfuck because Johnny Xaos insists on prime landing areas so his buddies can film his "Sweet Swoops."[/Napoleon Dynamite] The primary DZ I jump at the width portion of the landing area is East/West. The Swooper use up maybe 50 - 75 feet of that width and yes there are objects there I want to avoid. I land betwen 50-75 feet from their area without issue, is this considered East bumfuck? Also these are the same folks on the ground that are watching my canopy work and landings. Last weekend I got hit with a firm crosswind gust that caused canopy to dive to the right at 50 feet. I made the standard rookie move and started to reach for the ground with toggle in hand. At that very moment my instructors screaming voice rang through my head, NO! NO! NO! LEVEL THE CANOPY!! I was just imput enough left toggle to get level and stab the brakes as I landed. The swoopers poked a little fun at me intially, but then they complimented my recovery. Two of them spent about 30 minutes a piece with me educating me on how not to break myself if a similiar circumstance was to arise. Of course I will discuss this with my instructor, but I appreciated the more seasoned vetrans spending time with me as newbie. Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked

Blink, Sorry you had a bad experience with PD. You seem to be more of an exception than the rule. When I called PD looking for a canopy to demo it went very smoothly. I advised kim I was new to sport, what I jumped in AFF, who my instructor was and my who my DZ S, T, & A was. I told her to feel free to contact any of them regarding my limited skill. She got back with me via e-mail a few days later and sent me the demo. I would like to think if you owned a large company that allowed demos, you would be as careful as PD is. I think it would beyond foolish if PD allowed me to Demo a Sabre2 150 with my WL and experience. As far as one fellar being rude to you, no one is perfect and we all have bad days.

Chris, First of good {{{{{{{{{{VIBES}}}}}}}}}} your way and I hope you get to feeling better. I notice in your posts that they are doing CT scans, have they ever done an MRI? I am not a neurologist or anything, but I have been a paramedic for almost 20 years. I had a friend that had neuro issues that the CT did not pick up on, but an MRI did. Just a suggestion. Also like the other person stated, watch out for percocet, very addicting. Get well soon, Phil Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked

Well I agree with alot of what is said here. Being a pilot of a "Sky Barge" and being a newbie I deploy at 4000. The sky is large and the landing areas/approach are small in comparision. I was trained to fly to a "play area" and develop my canopy skills. I then enter the pattern and hit check point one at a 1,000 feet and fly in the pattern to land. By doing things in this manner I am in a predictable area while performing my canopy training and predictable when in the landing pattern. I understand the Sail vs Steam argument here, but common sense must come into play as well. Why should I (in a sky barge) be so inconsiderate to be in the way and effect a skilled pilots (high performance)landing? The landing area is large enough I can yield some room.

As a good friend taught me: Three very important things to remeber prior to exiting the aircraft: 1) Parachute - Get a landable one over your head! 2) Para-hike - land safely, better a long walk than option #3. 3) Paramedic!! Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked

This is a question for your instructor. You may get alot of very good suggestions here, but the direction of your instructor is what is important. Just my $.02 Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked

I found it by RELAXING!! It did not come on the 1st AFF though. I remember chipping and starting to spin when my instructor gave me the look at him sign. Well thinking something was horribly wrong I forgot about everything that was going on and looked him right in the eye....Poof I was stable. The more I jumped the more comfortable I have gotten.
