    so damn cold here for the past two weeks... unreal :):):)

    .2 cents for Titusville - it is a tandem mill, BUT they are upfront about it and friendly to jumpers. I was treated very fair there and got 18K load out of it recently :)...
    If you are limited on time though, probably good to scratch off unless you want to jump 18 K very badly :) (they do 2 - 3 loads on the weekend day)

  3. Does anyone have information on what condition is the guy in? / broken back (spine?)

    +1 / Too bad that Bill has to deal with this. Lawsuits and Skydiving don't go well together... We all do know what we are up to when we put rig on...
    If anyone knows extend of the damage... please post.

    I was merely pointing out how there are discrepancies in what you are saying and how you keep giving advice to people. It was not a jab at your experience. You opened yourself up to that little bit of logic reasoning flaw with stating how often you are at a DZ. If you read that again, your experience as a skydiver was never questioned, because, as you state yourself it has no relevance on your opinion as a person.

    there.

    Do you WANT to jump at all? ...
    Elsinore is very nice place, best to my knowledge,
    not much jumping in Nevada though (i was there yesterday... 3rd time passing by, but not jumping due to high winds...)
    If it is your wife that wants AFF, support her in it... but explain that it is not for you, You have already done more than most people... You have a tandem jump.
    to answer your questions:

    1) Automatic Activation Device - Mandatory for students anywhere in US.

    2) Cutaways. average ~ 1000 (but really depends :):) some folks have 5000 + jumps with no chops... and some seem to "like" getting rid of their main every 100 or something B|:$

    This sport is lots of fun. it is not for everyone though, so no reason to rape yourself if there is no "want to!"

    From where I'm @ it looks like this regulates itself. Have not seen anyone with a 100 jumps coaching anyone. so "you can go for it" minimum limit is not changing anything though.

    100% agree that "coaching" rating should be held by experienced folks and 100 - 200 jumps is not the number for sure,

    Especially if there charges involved (don't think anyone with any experience will want to pay for a jump with another wonder... :):):)

    Again... Is This An Issue At Your Dropzone?

    Thank you and blue skies

  9. :) / if they're "steady" ... you can search this forum for turbulence and will find a lot of interesting info on it and how you can avoid it / should you react in case if you get into turbulent winds. It definitely can be scary I'd imagine when it comes to 50 ft :o;)
