  1. It could be as simple as your using a different packer.etc... _________________________________________ Someone dies, someone says how stupid, someone says it was avoidable, someone says how to avoid it, someone calls them an idiot, someone proposes rule chan

  3. If I am asked "What do you do for fun?" or something like it, then I'll say I jump. I usually don't offer it up though. Today I was sitting in an office with an insurrance guy. We were filling out an health insurance application. The fucking last question was do you particapite in diving, racing, parachuting etc..? The rest of the interview was like talking to a whuffo all over again. What is it like? How many jumps to you have? Where do you do it? Were you in the military?

  5. I was wondering if you could make a living out if this, I'm currently completing an engineering degree at university but many times crossed my mind the thought of dropping it and trying to get a job in a DZ cleaning, packing, anything really and live out the dream of jumping everyday and learn from the experienced guys.

  7. Really,.... who takes him seriously? He is more of a comic, than a prophet.
  8. Larry, sure there is a norm. Ask a jumper to give you 6 seconds and you get 3. So you learn to ask for 9 when you really mean 6, then you will probably get 4, ha! _________________________________________ Someone dies, someone says how stupid, someone says it was avoidable, someone says how to avoid it, someone calls them an idiot, someone proposes rule chan

  10. which may sound like a lot, but after taxes..its not much. You do the math.
  11. Wow! I used to instruct at Ground rush. Glad they moved to the new location. Are they still jumping Totsi? The light blue 182? Don't think you will meet farmer Mcnasty there. _________________________________________ Someone dies, someone says how stupid, someone says it was avoidable, someone says how to avoid it, someone calls them an idiot, someone proposes rule chan
  12. Working 7 days a week at Spaceland I was jumpig between 70 to 100 tandems a month during the summer. I was earning between 1000, and 1500 every two weeks. It was a really good living for a Tandem I. It paid for the tandem course in less that a month. However getting on at a full time turbine DZ is not easy. Good Luck! _________________________________________ Someone dies, someone says how stupid, someone says it was avoidable, someone says how to avoid it, someone calls them an idiot, someone proposes rule chan
  13. I love it! I can alreay tell your gonna fly jumpers to 15K. Your gonna hold blow out boogies with many KEGS- O- FREE BEER! Really all you have to do is provide free strippers and whammo! Instant DZ. I would like to be the first to say THANK YOU!
  14. OK Yossarian, you will not be able to beat an RSl in EP's. The RSL will always beat you to reserve deployment under normal sercumstances. AAD. With the Cypress firing altitude at 750 agl. Well that was your last chance to pull. If you haven't pulled at 750 agl, than a pull below will probably not save you.(Granted your at terminal) I have known jumpers who have pulled below 750 and lived, and I have known jumpers who pulled reserve below 750 and didn't make it to inflation. IF you had a Cypress expert 2 save your ass, then either take up golf, or seriously retrain your EP's. Seriously. I am not trying to flame you, but this is why you read posters stateting "take up golf".

  16. If I was by myself I'd probably take that option, the wife is a big fan of roofs, showers and climate control.
  17. R U hitting on me? Cause I married,........ to a woman. _________________________________________ Someone dies, someone says how stupid, someone says it was avoidable, someone says how to avoid it, someone calls them an idiot, someone proposes rule chan
  18. What else are you addicted to besides skydiving?
  19. However, driving to AZ isnt much of an option this time around.
  20. Fatality Database at DropZone.com
  21. a hardliner like Netenyahu come in, especially with the threat from Iran's president
  22. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad urging that Israel be "wiped off the map" and his government announcing last week that it will resume uranium enrichment on Monday.
  23. So many are under the delusion that cutting away first will prevent an entanglement. Of course it does not, the entanglement can happen either way, just differently
  24. he had the opertunity to pull high after the tandem. He had a PC "hesitation" the PC cleared, lucky for him cause he was probably at 1500 when his main was fully deployed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thats pretty fucked up. What happened to all the time between pulling and 2200ft? Nap time? Did he get an important phone call? This was with a pull out? Was it a lazy pull? That will put a pull out PC on your back. Going head low will clear it, but dropping a shoulder will too, and is a better plan
