  1. mmmmm practice. So far I've been inside on most jumps. I'm small so I've been told that is the spot for me. A few times i've been a floater, but have not had the opportunity to be a rear or front yet. I'm sure it's something to be mastered. Skymama's #2 stalker -
  2. Perfect!! I mean I thought that was what all that meant, but then the people I've jumped with always make it sound more complicated. It's probably just me. Being a rear floater you would want to make sure you leave just a tad bit before everyone else? Skymama's #2 stalker -
  3. Hey all, So can someone explain to me what rear floater and front floater mean. I've done a descent amount of RW, nothing serious, and I just jump the spot I'm assigned. I'd like to understand what is being told/asked of me though cuz I'm hoping to get more into it this coming year. Thanks Skymama's #2 stalker -
  4. Kids just expect other people to do things for them these days. Why shouldn't they, a computer basically is attached to their hips these days. I have a younger brother, late addition to family, that is my opinion is being cheated by his school. I've asked him more than once how a subject was taught/explained to him and can understand why he is not exactly understanding. It seems to me the teachers aren't exactly qualified on the subject they are teaching. Maybe this is because the subject they are teaching isn't exactly what they went to school for, but with a teacher shortage they were stuck in the class and told to teach. Now my little brother could definitely pay more attention/study more at home but he is young and yeah that is gonna happen. Man you've got me off on a rant. I'm just gonna stop. Spell check rarely catches grammatical errors, but given a choice most kids would probably know what they wanted. hope my grammer was OK. Skymama's #2 stalker -
  5. Sorry, forgot the details. Dohh. It is windows xp media center edition. Here is really the question I need the answer to. When I boot from the recovery disk it only gives me the two choices I referred to earlier. If I choose accept is it going to go to a prompt where I can type what you had, or is it just going to start up a running a reformat on me. Skymama's #2 stalker -
  6. I need some help from the computer savy's out there. My lap top decided it didn't want to boot up this weekend. After many off and ons it finally said that there was a missing or corrupt file. Now I have my recovery disk, but when I boot with it in the drive it tells me I have to agree that i'm about to loose all my saved data. Then I have two choices from there, proceed, or cancel. I thought I could have it boot from that disk and then if I didn't want to reformat there was an option somewhere that would basically do a scan and replace the bad files. Isn't that how it is supposed to work? Please please I don't want to reformat, even though it might just be best at this point. HELP!!! Skymama's #2 stalker -

  13. CRAZY!!!! A fellow skydiver friend of mine had sort of the same thing happen except the bar came through the windshield and missed going through his neck by about ummm 1/2 inch. He has pictures, I will ask him if I can post them, they are pretty insane. Road debris sucks ass!!!! Skymama's #2 stalker -

  15. It had come up in the change of dive flow that we would track 90 degrees from jump run then turn and track down but that was not looked at as acceptable either since the person who was having a problem was on a 3 way belly and said when they tracked from their dive they could possible be in the same spot as us. Thus the reason we said we would pull higher. As for the premature deployment of another, I would never track over anyone else. I'm not saying that I was right or he was right, I just have never had such opposition to a tracking dive before. There were no tandems on this load. I would generally want another pass if tandems were on the load. Skymama's #2 stalker -
  16. Hey all. This weekend I wanted to do a tracking dive because the uppers were kicking pretty nice so I figured could get a little more distance with them. Well just prior to loadin up a jumper asks what we are doing, 2 way track, and says well which way are you tracking. A fair enough question. Winds coming out of nw so I say South South east. To which I get a reply of "so straight at us". Now had I wanted to argue I could have, but I listened to what else he had to say and still was not happy. "My opionion is if there is a tracking dive on a load that is the only thing that should be going on" What?? First time I've ever heard that. I do agree that if you are last out and are tracking back that yes you are over other jumpers. However, that is not what was going to be done. As every other tracking dive I've been on you tilt your track to the left or right of jump run so as to not track over others. Not only that but because you are getting out 30 seconds to a minute later, on this dive, the previous people are now deploying or are far below you. I am aware of the dangers here. However it was agreed we would be pulling a little high, 4-5 grand, and that was higher than all previous jumper altitudes. So What I would like to know is what are the rules on tracking dives at your dz? For my tracking dive was fubared because in the end instead of arguing we just decided to track upwind for 20 seconds then turn just short of 180 and track. Since the winds were so strong up top there was not, if any, tracking going on. The jump sucked and to tell you the truth I'm pretty pissed. Guess I should have spoke up though. A jumps a jump.

  17. 1:3:1 first dive out of a porter which happened to be my first dive technically on my new B license and also first time at a specific dropzone. Jesus I think I technically owe 3 cases, but because it all happened at once i'm claiming it can all be combined Skymama's #2 stalker -

  23. One summer at wrestling camp we were staying in the college dorms and we noticed the doors opened in, like most doors but now it would be more fun. We filled a small trash can with water half way up and leaned it up against a opposing teams door very late at night. Knocked on the door and ran to an adjacent room. You hear the door open a splash and "ahhhh fuck" the door shuts. They just let it sit there till the morning. We also tied a rope to one door handle of a room and then to the door handle across the hall. In the morning you could hear them yelling. Some old tricks, but were too funny at the time.
