Oh yeah? Try running out a landing when the snow is real crusty on top. First step my foot went through, then it got stuck, then I ate snow. It's not a real sport unless you can die from massive internal trauama Lippy

I'm not entirely sure this is true, but the trade-off for the more space of a 206 is that they're dogs when it comes to climbing over 6K. I know I've had some half hour + trips to 10,500' in ours. It's usually a 20 minute flight in the 182 with four jumpers, weather depending of course. It's not a real sport unless you can die from massive internal trauama Lippy

On the bright side, Global Warming=Longer Jumping Season

So it'll be a month ago tomorrow when I ordered a used container from the container's manufacturer. The day after I ordered, I got a call saying they lost (or sold, can't remember) the reserve PC, and they would need a couple days to get everything ready to ship. Call back a few days later, and they were having problems with the manufacturer that makes the springs for reserve PCs for them. So I bitched and they said they'll upgrade my order for overnight shipping, free of charge. So for the past month I've been calling these guys like every other day and asking when my container will be here. Finally, yesterday they said they had the spings, and they were making the PCs. So now I'm going mental waiting for the courier to get here, even though its still way, way too cold to jump I just want it I want it I want it!!!!! Sorry, I needed to get that out...At least the company was real good about the situation, they were polite about it, and payed the extra shipping cost. But where the hell is that courier?!?!?

I went to a DZ a couple weeks ago, and my rig isn't ready yet, so I put a couple of jumps on one of their's. It was a Sabre170 in a dolphin. Really comfy rig. When I was looking to buy a container I looked at Dolphins, then passed cause I thought they were a cheap, low quality rig. Now I'm regretting spending the extra $ to get a more expensive container that I ordered a month ago, and they tell me it'll be shipped out today...That really pissed me off!!!

Maybe I just havn't been jumping long enough that I need to do crazy shit to get the rush, but from what you're saying, I think you're one of the people who I check the manifest to make sure they're not on my load before I get in the plane.

I think I'm gonna rely on a hand-mount for the forseeable future, but thanks for the warning. It's not a real sport unless you can die from massive internal trauma. Lippy

I'm looking to buy a helmet, cause I'm getting sick of the stupic rental protecs, and since I already have my rig paid for I can actually afford to buy stuff. I'm looking at getting a skateboard or BMX helmet...I like the look, and the price, and the selection at local stores. Anybody know anything I should know before I run out and spend $80 on something no good for jumping...Any info appreciated. It's not a real sport unless you can die from massive internal trauma.

My home DZ is the Skydive Ranch in Beiseker, Alberta. But since they've been closed all winter, this place is kind of becoming home. Luckily I found an awsome DZ that's open in the winter, so I'll abide there on weekends I can get out of town, at least till the Ranch opens.

I remember seeing an ad for a place in BC, Canada that makes jumpsuits. If anybody knows the name of this place, and especially, a web address, could you let me know? I'd prefer to buy Candadian, and so would my bank account, with the exchange rate nowadays. It's not a real sport unless you can die from massive internal trauma Lippy

Hey!!! If you start tracking from one side, I'll start from the other and we'll high-5 in the middle. What could go wrong with a rock-solid plan like that? It's not a real sport unless you can die from massive internal trauma

When asked what to do in the event of a reserve mal, our FJC instructor told us to take off our helmets and stand in them... That way the mess would be contained. It's not a real sport unless you can die from massive internal trauma Lippy

Don't forget Balls Creek, Conception Bay, and Come By Chance Newfoundland. Lick-A-Chick, #4 of SkydiveMonkey's pics is the nearest fast food from my home town. It's in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. They really do have some good chicken. Lick-A-Treat is an ice cream place accross the street. "It's not a real sport unless you can die from massive internal trauma" Lippy
