  1. I whole heartedly agree that everyone there will be well qualified to help you with what you want to achieve. I've flown with Matt, Dan, and Derek and all were great and I learned so much from all three it's ridiculous. Remember to have fun, shouldn't be hard though! Less talking, more flying.
  2. Good stuff, looks like a lot of fun! Less talking, more flying.
  3. Or maybe this one http://www.google.com/patents?id=hhYJAAAAEBAJ Less talking, more flying.
  4. By far. http://www.google.com/patents?id=nGozAAAAEBAJ Less talking, more flying.
  5. Yes. I believe it was a Silhouette 260 loaded at .6 ish. Less talking, more flying.
  6. I'd say it is, only with a lot more beer and shenanigans. I came from a flying background as well before skydiving, and pretty much agree with what has been said already. It seems to me that patterns are tough for some to grasp but coming from a pilots background it should be pretty straight forward. You'll have a better understanding of the flare and what's going on landing as well. Less talking, more flying.

    Spped Cameras

    Grrrrr, I just had to pay 9 jumps for a stupid camera speeding ticket. That is all. Less talking, more flying.
  8. Funny stuff and a nice video Brian Less talking, more flying.
  9. Scary situation... Glad he eventually got rid of the main, that could have been very ugly. On another note, that was quite possibly the most annoying soundtrack I have ever heard in my entire life. Seriously. Less talking, more flying.
  10. I'd probably buy a pair. I jump in baseball gloves which offer very little thermal protection, and I've wanted something thin to wear under them for warmth. Less talking, more flying.
  11. Nice I like that. Less talking, more flying.
  12. I love me some Warsteiner... Less talking, more flying.
  13. Bwahhaaha Less talking, more flying.
  14. I went for tunnel time for the first time at 15ish jumps, and I found entering the tunnel to be much more difficult than exiting a Cessna. With an exit from a plane you are out in float position and you basically let go, arch and you're golden. You're belly is already to the wind, all you have to do is find your stable arch (which with tunnel time shouldn't be a problem). Entering the tunnel the first few times was awkward for me since you have to make that transition from being vertical to horizontal while pushing yourself into the airstream which is sorta "fighting back".

  15. I happen to know from personal experience that he does indeed have naked pictures of this gal, and a good number of them. In fact I told him on the phone tonight that he should post them. So...... we're waiting..... Less talking, more flying.
  16. Looked to me like they did a great job of getting it stable and under control. Less talking, more flying.
  17. Will, I think the only thing that could have made it better would be if you learned how to use punctuation. You're just jealous cause you weren't getting crunk with my family the whole week. Less talking, more flying.
  18. Wow, absolutely nutty. Less talking, more flying.

  20. The reason I ask about the Wings is I know the reserve set up is very similar to a Javelin so I figured it might be doable... Less talking, more flying.
  21. Take my word for what it is as I'm a low timer, but I say the best course of action is to just get out to the DZ every weekend or every chance you get and jump your ass off. That A license will come faster than you might think, As far as a career, I doubt you'll make much of a living at it, but I'm not the right person for advice on that. I say get yourself into the sport seriously, and then take a look at skydiving as a career later on. Less talking, more flying.
  22. Does anyone know if there is a way to get a skyhook on a Wings? I'd really like the peace of mind of having one, plus not losing a freebag seems to be worth it by itself. Less talking, more flying.
  23. I guess I'll lay off the death threats then.... But in all seriousness, I'll fucking kill you. How crazy am I? Less talking, more flying.
  24. Someone told me this really helps your sit flying... Less talking, more flying.
