  1. Okay, I heard of paraskiing where you land on a target with skis on then cutaway - but I am interested in skiing down the mountain with a parachute on like these guys: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zf32z3lXnqQ http://www.redbullusa.com/bladeraid#page=ArticlePage.1204330295382-926581728.0 SO - my big question is - what kind of canopy do I want to use for that? There are many in government who have a very simple tax proposal in mind. There will be only two lines on the tax form: 1-How much did you make last year? 2-Send it.
  2. It's weird that I was jumping at Titusville the day before that incident. I ask about that particular helmet only because I just bought one and had plans to do video at some point in the future. I plan on getting a coach rating prior to shooting video, and don't plan on going for that until I have quite a few more jumps. Being a jump pilot at a single aircraft DZ means I won't get to that for a looooooong time. Thank you for pointing out the incident to me.

  4. Does anyone know of any country which requires the use of an AAD when skydiving? Like Mexico maybe? There are many in government who have a very simple tax proposal in mind. There will be only two lines on the tax form: 1-How much did you make last year? 2-Send it.
  5. Can anyone name a company that would cover skydiving injuries in the USA? I'm self employed and completely healthy. I'm looking really hard and the last agent I talked to said nobody would. PLEASE ONLY POST NAMES OR WEB LINKS. There are many in government who have a very simple tax proposal in mind.

  6. Hello again, I'm trying to find companies that provide insurance that do not exclude skydiving. I am self employed and simply want a policy that covers hospital care for accidents ONLY. Does anyone have a name of a company that would do this - and a ballpark rate? I see an awful lot of posts on insurance but no mention of company names other than blue cross and hmo's. The best quote I've found on my own so far was about 88-120 per month depending on deductable. Any info anyone?
  7. I'm just curious for some feedback from people who have been to any canopy piloting courses. What are the main topics in ground class and such? What did you personally get out of it, etc. etc. Thanks much in advance! There are many in government who have a very simple tax proposal in mind.

  8. Military airborne doesn't recognize skydiving experience - and skydivers don't recognize military airborne experience. Of course, the only thing the two have in common is the nerve to exit aircraft in flight and do a PLF. P.S. - I've had my share of night combat equipment jumps at Bragg There are many in government who have a very simple tax proposal in mind.

  9. I fly for Don Kellner - and to say he does mostly hop and pops is incorrect. I'd say at least half his jumps are tandems. There are many in government who have a very simple tax proposal in mind. There will be only two lines on the tax form: 1-How much did you make last year? 2-Send it.
  10. They put the shortest and slowest females at the front of the formation run, so you basically run in place while moving forward. Do lots of chin-ups before you go, because you have to do a minimum amount to move on. Try your best to get a ground floor room in the barracks, cause you will be sore as hell going up and down the steps. DON'T TELL THEM YOU ARE A SKYDIVER. Walk out the door and PLF, and like the other guy said earlier in the thread - hold your feet ann knees together as hard as possible - and remember your emergency procedures. STAY ALERT - STAY ALIVE!

  11. Thanks for the info - I'm a Cessna 182 pilot at a long operating DZ, and also own a Cherokee 140, and thought it would be fun to take the door off once in a while and have someone else fly it for me so I can get out. But if it's not recommended then I guess I'll have to forget it. There are many in government who have a very simple tax proposal in mind.

  12. Hello all! Does anyone have experience jumping from this model of aircraft? It's on the list of planes that can operate with their door removed - and I was wondering if anyone had any tips on exiting this particular make and model? THANKS!!!!!!
