  1. i think i have to disagree It seems i will be going the cheap route and getting the Leedom Scream helmet in Carbon Fiber. Ill just put some of that 200mph speed tape on the back to cover the goggle strap slot on the rear of the helmet. at 80USD brand new on ebay, i shouldnt be complaining and they are snell certified
  2. i had never put any thought into a ski helmet. now that i have that information i found a few on ebay i like. It makes things a lil more affordable how about this? too bad its not my size Leedom Helmet ExPeCt ThE uNeXpEcTeD! DoNt MiNd ThE tYpOs, Im LaZy On CoRrEcTiOnS!

  8. i had the same jitters after i was held up by bad weather for a month. I passed up a chance cause i was kinda tired, but more or less i chickened out inside my head. i just used the winds and being tired as an excuss. I thought about it and knew all the fearwas in my head and finally decided. "fck it im jumpin today" so geared up , for the first time in over a month, and out to the plane i went. had hyperventelation problems all the way up. this had to be my first attempt at lvl 4 were i had to climb out of the plane before leaving it.... but once out and knees in the wind it was all over the fear was gone and the grin was on. All that fun factor came back. Then had a stand up landing as an added bonus. got back in the hanger and said " i dont care if i pass or fail, i stood that one up" well, dam the luc. now i got to do lvl 5 but i just keep telling myself "its just the same except turning all the way around" good luck conquering ur fear. i know u dont want to hear it, but i think its all in your head. not a doctor or brain surgon(sp?) so i couldnt give u a scientific explination with all the cool words as to why ur brain is making u feel that way if i wanted to. edit: fixed typos i need typing classes...

  13. scary, its almost exactly like mine. good luck in AFF. Be prepared to repeat a level or possibly 2 or more levels. its normal to get stuck somewhere. ExPeCt ThE uNeXpEcTeD! DoNt MiNd ThE tYpOs, Im LaZy On CoRrEcTiOnS!
  14. I didnt make it to that one i usually sit back on these types of topics and just soak in all the input. just felt like voicing my opinion on here ExPeCt ThE uNeXpEcTeD! DoNt MiNd ThE tYpOs, Im LaZy On CoRrEcTiOnS!
  15. In my opinion... Im new to the sport with 7 jumps. I wasnt thrilled about seeing that video clip, but i wanted to see it anyway. I am glad i did see it. I know what i am getting myself into and that is my choice. Im not out to kill myself, but I feel it is important to see the "darker" side of any activity that has risks involved. When u go through drivers ed they show u crash pics. To make u realize what responsability u are undertaking. Same with motorcycle saftey training. I have seen some horrible vids of motorcycle crashes. a high percentage were the rider didnt make it. It makes me realize that I can easily kill myself if I loose focus or take the ride for granted. Same rules apply to skydiving. when i approach a friend that wants to try it out, i let them make that decision. I dont peer pressure them till they do it. I feel that would be bad on my concience(sp?) if they went in. I fully respect all the risks involved and I know that oneday i will see someone go in with my own eyes. I cant say how i will react, but i know i will deal with it when the time comes. I know it wont make me stop wanting to persue this sport. No one made me jump Hope that wasnt to morbid Just my opinion since im new and this directly relates to me. [edited to correct spelling...] ExPeCt ThE uNeXpEcTeD!

  18. I want to see someone jump in a Wile E. Coyote costume holding a help sign. i think it would make for a great freefly pic here is what im talking about. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y274/bailee4/21477BPLooney-Tunes-Wile-E-Coyote.jpg edit: It can be a Haloween jump. even though its a short notice... edit #2: or we could get someone to jump in the Wile E Coyote suit and a stuffed sheep. http://atlas.kennesaw.edu/~hgrantie/images/coyote/coyote004.gif ExPeCt ThE uNeXpEcTeD!

  21. i remember a few months ago a thread were someone was going to try that again, but cat in a cage and hold the cage apon opening. or something to that nature. just to watch the cats behavior on trying to land on its feet during an extended freefall. i was cusious if it would learn not to over correct in that state sad to hear the other cat cratered. i guess the incident report would say operator error.
