  15. 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.

  17. when i am sitflying and i go to belly, i can really feel the air pressure hitting my chest with force. but for the rollar coaster feeling, i only had it for about 2 seconds on my first jump. ever since then, i havent felt that. Step into my (sub)terminal Playground

  21. 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
  22. 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
