  1. So what would we call that formation Dave? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  2. Are those extra rings for a tertiary reserve? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  3. They have to be planned and successful, otherwise every blown to shit dive would count. As long as two ways counts I have way more than 10, I have done about 25 jumps with my partner and we manage to turn at least a couple points on each one.
  4. The slides in the background will distract people, and take away from the presentation. Maybe you could draw a connection between sucess in skydiving, and sucess in life. There are a lot of connections that can be drawn. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  5. Just wait until LMWB gets wind of this thread. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  6. In a relationship yes!!! While skydiving, no!! So what are the odds that you end up with a reserve malfunction? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  7. Can we get a quick and dirty break down of the rules so we can keep in line? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  8. Oh, then I meet all the requirements.... Sweet!! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  9. Which way did they go? Which way did whoooooooooooooooo go? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  10. I think common sense does, a group would have three or more in my book. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  11. Use a tissue next time... Nasty!! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  12. I thought there was according to the SIM, from section 3:1 I don't have the 10 "successful" group dives because I have been doing mostly 2ways with my partner in order to train for the collegiate comp, but I know I can easily do the in air stuff the SIM asks for. I have more than 10 group skydives, but they were a bit ambitious, and I think only 7 or 8 went exactly to plan. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  13. Hey all. I can't seem to find this in my sim so maybe some one else can answer this questions for me. For each license class there is either in air maneuvers that must be completed in a listed time, or you have to do a number of successful jumps. For the B I think it is 10 successful group sky dives, I assume 3way or more, or a check dive of a Left 360, Right 360, back-flip, Left 360, Right 360, back-flip in 18 seconds. Does some one with an instructor rating have to conduct the in air test, or can a coach sign off? I know a coach can sign off on the A license sheets.

  14. I hope so, I need some warm weather.
  15. Circle thing, hang on your side thing. Yeah I got to vocab down pat. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  16. HAHA, *teach*!!!!! Thats golden, thanks for the laugh bro. My partner with all 30 jumps flies circles around him. You need to talk to Martin for any rw coaching. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  17. repost "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  18. Oh no...!!!! Store brand Mad dog!!! It doesn't get much worse than that!!!! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  19. Looking forward to jumping with you Corey. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  20. There will be ten of us coming down and representing the New England schools. We are a club from the University of Connecticut, but we have two members from other schools. One from Berkley, and one from MIT.
  21. Or any of the Mad Dog Varieties... MD2020 "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  22. The time you spend fumbling with ill fitting gloves during a malfunction, might be your last before making a huge divot. I had trouble getting a pair of goofy gloves into my toggles once. Never again, it was a real wakeup call! Thank god I didn't have to do E.P. wearing those stupid things!!! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  23. My AFF instructor mentioned something once when we were in the tunnel. It impressed him how well we stayed relative with our numbers of jumps, in comparison to when he started jumping. I think we may be competent quicker, but the records keep getting larger and more awesome, so do the people setting them. Does a jumper have more or less in air ability at 30 jumps than his counterpart in the 70's, I don't know. But we are a little further behind the curve when the next record jump is going to be some crazy 400 way. I don't think it matters. I try to earn respect as I go, if you want to jump with me awesome, if not there are certainly no hard feelings. I am just having a good time, the rest will fall into place.
