Old enough to jump finally coming up :-]
baseknut replied to Philly215's topic in Introductions and Greets
shop around and make sure you like the location and instructors you are jumping with. depending on your budget, you might decide a different course of action. but if you intent is to go through a specific progression that is out of reach (budget wise) save up. that is what i did, and i found an awesome instructor, who saved me loads of money. but i never did a tandem i went right through AFF ISP.

Landed off??....Let's hear about it!
baseknut replied to kturnau's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
my 25th jump. A license here i come.... i had been jumping a pd navigator 240 all 24 prior jumps, but my student rig was still not packed do to another student using it at the time. so, i payed manifest $21 to get another student rig. all that was available was a spectre 190 (which i didnt jump until next jump) and a Navigator 260. so i grabbed the 260 checked her out, and through her on. i ran out to the plane. i jumped out at a great spot and sit fly until about 5 grand. went to belly immediately there after and waved off and pulled at 3500. flew it like it was a 240, even though it is close in size the 260 was loaded a lot less and flew as slow as a snail. i almost went through the army team room at zhills, but i put it at 50% and swooped right over top. thats as far off as ive been soo far...knock on wood blue ones -jake Step into my (sub)terminal Playground -
Hey, i just recently purchased a mirage g3 with a raven dash reserve in it. it has just had a repack and is in great condition. only one previous ride. for those of you who jump a raven reserve, or have jumped on in the past, what do you have to say about them. I have already looked at gear reviews, but i was wondering if anyone here can elaborate. also, what was you loading and size of raven... thanks jake Step into my (sub)terminal Playground
