Just make sure and test it by jumping off of a barn into a pile of hay first “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this beer, th

I have not spent a ton of time at the DZ yet but it happened to me on my first day there. I was doing my AFF ground school, we had just got done hanging in the harness and were taking lunch break. All of us students where setting out on the picnic tables waiting for our instructor who had gone up on the load. The spot was way off the field and one jumper turned way to low to miss a ditch and I remember seeing him bounce in the air. Then every body was running and yelling. Needless to say it scared the shit out of all of us students siting there! I was having some second thoughts but I just told myself, I knew this was dangerous before I drove out here and It is still something I want to do. Seeing that wasn't what made me realize the sport was dangerous but it sure made me realize just how dangerous low turns can be. The jumper fractured his back but is doing ok, and I am way to hooked to get scared off. “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.

That is an awesome pic. I hope you dont mind but I'm using it as my desktop. It would be way cool if you had it in a higher resolution. “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.

On my first couple of jumps I was a little disappointed about how slow the big canopy I am jumping turned because I wanted to do a spiral like I had done on my tandems. I was telling one of the more experienced jumpers this in the bar that night and he told me to wrap the toggle around my hand a few times and give it a good pull all the way down. Now I'm thinking that maybe that is not such a good Idea. “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.

Why not just go to your local sporting goods store and buy a mouth piece. You can get the kind you mold by boiling it four like $5.00. I used them for years in boxing and I really dont think it would come out in free fall. At least you could see if you like it before paying for a custom one. “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.

Ha Ha......I wonder if they would charge extra if they have to fill your entire head. “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this beer, th

I think the best part would be the look on peoples face in freefall when they think you dont have a rig on. “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.

You need a boss like me. On nice days when there isn't a lot to do, I tell my skydiving employee "why dont you get out of here and go jump". Then when I want three day weekends he works for me. It's a beautiful thing. “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and their hopes and dreams.

I'm not really sure what kind they are. I think they knock off like 30db. or something like that. My ear Doc was a friend of mine and he just took my mold and had them made. I haven't used them sky diving yet, and I'm not sure I would want to. I kinda like the sound of the wind. Anyone know about how many db. free fall is? “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.

I dont know about you all, but I wouldent trust pouring something into my ear myself. I had my ear doc do it and they work very well. My hearing is way to important to leave in the hands of someone like myself! “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.

On my last jump I could not here my instructor tell me when to flare, and on the jump before that I flared too high, so this time I told myself not to flare until I hear him. Unfortunetly I hit the ground with out any flare. I can still feel it abit and that was like almost a month ago! The bad part is, right before my jump, I was telling my JM how I am made of rubber and could hit the ground at 65mph and get right up! Well I wont be talking shit about sky diving like that again.............at least not for awile “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.

Wow! I made it to the end of this thread! I have only made two AFF jumps so far, bolth of them on a student Infinity, but ass soon as I am off student status I will be ordering one of my own. This thread has given me some good ideas, now if I can just find the courdura I want. I already cant wait. maybe I should just order it now so I can look at it until I can jump it! “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.
