  1. Hes been working on this for a while, right? Why they all covering it now?
  2. South Jersey? Crosskeys? I jumped there in the winter, gets pretty damn cold at alt but just wear layers. Pretty good amount of people jumping then
  3. Tony was at my graduation
  4. So I wanna get a Viso with some extra $ I got laying around, but am having a hard time figuring out what it comes with. Lets say I want it on my wrist with a finger loop like most altimeters and the pic on the Paragear site, Do I still have to get a seperate wrist and finger mount or does it come with it?
  5. Parabatix has all those, great DVD. Good Stuff is a great DVD also

    aruba sucks

    Go to Carlos 'n Charlies
  7. On my first tandem, I was going to tip my instructor but since I was buying a logbook, SIM, and planning on jumping more he said that he'd rather I spend the money on training, which I though was pretty cool
  8. Maybe on Sunday they say it was an April fools joke? Hopefully, really want to go to it.
  9. Was i the only one expecting to see a pic?
  10. The only thing I was told was not to push off, just fall off.
  11. I'm pretty sure floating side laterals are just what Velocity Sports name is for the same thing.
  12. B12 snaps are a way to connect and detach legstraps, check the first picture Cut in laterals basically extend the bottom of the backpad to hug your body more. I have them on my Wings and love them.
  13. Does it mainly only fly at Perris? How long of a runway does it need?
  14. 1) Be done with college (not too long, only like a month left) 2) After graduate, go to flight school then become instructor from there 3) After done with 3 month school program which leaves no time to jump or do anything else, start jumping again 4) Get better at sit-flying 5) Stay safe
  15. I jumped it once, it was me, the pilot, some girl along for the ride, and another jumper. You definitely get the sensation of falling that you dont really feel leaving a plane. Only went up to a little above 4,000 feet. I can't wait to do it again, next time want to hang on the strut
  16. I bought a pair of Ironclad Cold Condition gloves last year and jumped with them all through winter here in New Jersey and they worked great. https://www.ironclad.com/www/productDetail.jsp?prodID=39&catID=44

    WINGS

    Mine has cut in laterals and quilted backpad and is very very comfortable, even though the first time I jumped it was yesterday
  18. I wasn't exactly sure to get the pud or hackey when I ordered my wings but since I jumped with the hackey before thats what I got. I'm glad I got it
  19. If your interested in wingsuits, Birdmen, Batmen and Skyflyers is pretty interesting
  20. Never been fired or never been turned on? I'm guessing never been fired. I'm not an expert on AAD's but I believe that even if its never been fired it will still end its life in 2007. Just because it hasnt fired doesnt mean that 12 years in use it hasn't done anything at all
  21. So far got A, am at 51 jumps so far, ordered my rig just waiting for it now , and jumped a chopper. So going pretty good, not jumping as much as I hoped to this summer, busy with a ton of crap. Can't wait to be back at school near the dropzone and skip class to jump
  22. I was looking for a used one to send in for its 4 or 8 year check, to get it checked out to know its working like it should and isn't damaged. If money is an issue, get a used one. I got one about 2 weeks ago which is 4 years old and just back from the factory for its 4 year check and new battery.
  23. I ordered a Wings with the reserve sized for a PD 160. Of course I listen to all their advise its just that this summer I'm really busy and out of state for summer break from school so I'm not able to get to the dropzone that often.
