Hey everyone, I just got my A license, and like most jumpers I am looking for my first rig. What were things you guys looked for in your first? And how much did you pay? -Jake Step into my (sub)terminal Playground

agreed, but the sock is a good idea. Step into my (sub)terminal Playground

my exit weight is about 200 lbs. i fly a pd navigator 240 now. and i was considering a sabre 2 170-190 for my first canopy. does this sound to agressive? Step into my (sub)terminal Playground

just wondering what size canopy you all downsized to after you quit renting student gear and bought your own. Step into my (sub)terminal Playground

hey, i just graduated aff (isp) on may 20th (receiving my A this sunday). it took me 7 jumps on the isp program to graduate. i had 5 minutes in the wind tunnel prior to aff, and that helped so much. even though it may not seem to before you jump. just practice good stability in the tunnel, and it will work itself out in the sky. hope this helped sayrepolice. -jake Step into my (sub)terminal Playground

what i did, i am embarrassed of. and it is in the past. regardless if tom aiello knows this or not, i am on good terms NOW with those that i have wronged. i have apologized to those who who wish to be unnamed in this matter over and over again. now that the time has come for me to get my license, i decided to look to this forum for serious and legit guidance. i believe that i have learned from my mistake and that Tom had no right to say that. i am not sure what those who read this will think. but the intent is to say how sorry i am for what i did, and it is in the past. and also, i feel that now i am being honest and following through with my dreams, they should not be interfered with and threatened. -baseknut Step into my (sub)terminal Playground

if you are from florida (somewhere near tampa) and have you aff coach rating, could you please pm me. i am looking for aff instruction. some friends who jump have told me to look for and introduce myself to an aff instructor. i am trying to avoid those high corperation like aff prices. ive been told the old days are cheaper. thanks much, blue skies, jake Step into my (sub)terminal Playground

might be a stupid question but..... i havent jumped in a month or so. (waited for new canopy) but my buddy and i planned a day yesterday, and i had kept my PC in the boc pouch. i have done this before and havent really noticed. but the zp material is crazily rinkled. does anyone know of any prior problems with inflation or durability linked to really rinkled zp material. I have jumped with rinkled pc's before, but my pc now takes the prize. pm me or post. thanks to all. cheers jake
