What is the point of a forum? I had never heard of an Argus, now I have

Erm.. Thanks ,. lol@left hand remark.

I am looking for your opinions on AADs. I am pricing my first rig, and have been looking at AADs. I am tempted by the Vigil.... What do you think??! Blue Skies

I'm new, so excuse my ignorance, BUT, could you not have put your left toggle up and used your risers to steer/land the canopy? Chris

Good luck with AFF :) Nerves are there to keep you sharp and alert - embrace them

My 2nd, and 3rd jump were bad... My 4th was not as bad, but I was thinking (in the plane) that "this is my last jump"!!!!!!!! This week can't pass quick enough at the moment, and I can't wait to get back up there for jump 5...! Blue SKies.

I did my 4th jump today (dummy pull) and it went perfectly - even stood my landing Just thought I'd say I love skydiving - to any potential skydivers out there - go for it! It's the best thing you'll ever do. Been celebrating with Laphroaig (I'm Scottish!) -hence this drunken post - whilst watching the video recorded by my better half Jen from the ground! Blue Skies, one and all!!!!!!!! Peace Chris

Food advise, thanks. Chris

Thanks - ur is reply appreciated. Blue Skies

Hi I was wondering if a good quality snowboard helmet would be ok for skydiving? I am looking to buy one for snowboarding and to save me money, use the same one for skydiving. Anyone know if this would be ok? Thanks

LOL! Not ment in that way Thought my post was in the wrong light that's all. Peace

I think the tone above it a little harsh, mate. During debrief - I made clear I was confused by the pilot's actions, and was told that I had to make my own desicions up there - Which is fair. I saw no point in saying "what if..." - I knew the answer. Did u read this bit: THE LESSON: Despite being really confused, you gotta be positive at the door - despite what is going on. This is what I got from what happened. I generally wondered what more experienced people would have done. Thanks anyway. Edited - I wish I could spell!

I did get what you ment and didnt notice the typo lol

To be honest, it was all focused on the exit rather than what happened before it. I said I was confused - go or stay - but this was not discussed. I got the feeling that I had to do what I was told - eg go anyway... Chris
