?!? You have a C-lic and still have someone endorse your log?

My cat won't go near a litterbox, she'll just meow incessantly until I let her out or hold it until I come home and bolt out the door. She'll do her thing, then camp out by the door until I let her back in.

Now that sounds Darwinian

Curious, can one custom-order a canopy in a strange size? Say a Sabre2-180 or a Stiletto-260?

Actually its dimimsions are very similar to a big-gulp.

LOL, a 10-way that turned into a 9-way + 1 cross-country

WL=0.85:1 under the 230 (I'm about 170).

I'll let you know when I reach that level of yoga .

TMI!!! At least you didn't do that under canopy tho

What about PD-230 vs Spectre-210?

Good idea, will ask my instructors next I go out. In the meantime, anyone know if/when this training takes place either in Sebastian or DeLand?

Thanks for the great info guys, good stuff to practice up high

Agreed

I chose A&C, tho I think B&C are more likely tonight . Hopefully A is in the cards for the weekend tho .

LOL, Sinead O'Connor. Q: What did S.O. do after brushing her hair? A: She pulled up her pants Also love the Samuel L. Jackson Pulp Fiction snippet.

Agreed on the canopy coaching. I took Scott Miller's class out at DeLand a few jumps post-AFF. I even made a dangerously low turn on one of his jumps that he videoed, and told me that that's how skydivers die. I started my downwind too late and turned to land crosswind way too low, on the jump before he taught flat turns . I've made 6 or 7 jumps since his class and still have a lot of experimentation to do with flat turns before I take his class again. His techniques have already saved my ham (thanks Scott!!). I've yet to be in a position where someone's right in front of me, going for the same landing spot, and I have 100 feet to act (as in his article). Other techniques (like being aware of traffic) should prevent this, but $#|+ happens. I'm of the impression that going to half-brakes with a little less input to the left to turn right, then countering the same input to the left to stop turning; then making a crosswind landing in half-brakes would be the appropriate action.

OH YEAH!!!

Just curious about how aggressively one can make a flat turn at low altitude and still keep the turn flat, thus not slamming oneself into the ground. Read Scott Miller's 'Lowdown on low turns' on the PD website, scary $#!+!!

Is the term "aggressive-flat-turn" contradictory?

Actually its a hormone An excellent anti-depressant as well.

Hey, I might have to do just that. Nice 4 day weekend coming up.

LOL This happened to me bigtime a couple months ago after I made 7 jumps within 30 hours, 5 of which were AFF. I slept very lightly, if at all for several days.

Nice!! First reserve-ride, first 2-canopies out and not only did you survive, you're closer to you A. I haven't done this myself, but I do appreciate the advice on what not to do. Thanks!!
