  1. If you have ever packed a strong tandem with a non-sewn bag you would understand why you want them sewn. The bags are complete bullshit when they are not sewn. Once the velcro wears down the bags barely stay closed so it has to be replaced once every 100-200 jumps where you could just sew the bags shut.
  2. after breaking my nose last night i would recommend a fullface.
  3. Vertical Suits www.verticalsuits.com Can't beat the canadian prices with the american dollar right now. Onpar quality with ouragan and a lot cheaper price wise. Can give you a 2 piece suit option if you want it. The suits last forever as well.
  4. I live in LA. I have basically 3 options in my area. Elsinore, Perris, or Camarillo. All of them are expensive except Camarillo and they dont offer the program yet. Elsinore and Perris are a 2 hour drive away too just drive to skydive AZ
  5. what is the cost for uspa right now? nver payed USPA dues before but i am gonna have to here soon.
  6. friend of mine wore one for 11 months after the boogie to get free registration at the next one haha
  7. did 5 jumps new years day. 1st was from an otter and then a skyvan and 3 more otter.
  8. used a shoelace like 10 times when packing at home and it works great!
  9. skydive AZ is just for you then. 3 skyvans i believe, regular balloon jumps and a tunnel.
  10. vertical suits makes a very nice pair of swoop shorts. www.verticalsuits.com
  11. birdman recommends 200+ jumps pretty good standard there...
  12. shouldn't have any wingsuit jumps yet
  13. usually its a good idea to get your first elliptical in the same size as the square you're jumping now.
  14. the boogie is going on right now.
  15. Head back and use your back to compensate by leaning back as your taking the dock to compensate for your arms in front of you.
  16. Definetly agree the xfire is a small step below the katana. Got about 30 jumps on a katana 107 and 300+ on a xfire 2 119. As Vetracide up there said the katana dives longer and will go further than the xfire. I add about 150 feet to my 270 when i jump the katana.
