Thats good to hear, Hoped from day one I wouldnt Let ya down...Its been cold up here up untill the past couple weeks So it took me almost a month to get back up in the skies but I banged out the rest of the jumps in one day, and got my A. Impressed the DZ when I left inbetween 24-25 to go get two cases of Beer...Needless to say I like the DZ here but not as much as the Farm...The Farm will always be my Home Away From Home... -"It's amazing the kinds of things you think about when there's no time to think."

Excellent, Thank you. I read some reviews on Bonehead Guner and it seems most people Did not like the chin strap because it came undone in free fall and they lost the helmet. Not my idea of fun. -"It's amazing the kinds of things you think about when there's no time to think." TOWER LADDER 44...FDNY, SOUTH BRONX

Did my jumps 1-21 at the Farm. Everyone greeted and welcomed me right away willing to teach and share their knowledge. Wealth of knowledge at the farm in every aspect of the sport making learning on a fast pace VERY easy. Everyone is VERY helpful and wants to see you succeed and do well with everything as much as you want to. When waiting for the next load there is always someone showing video or jokes being thrown around. It is a ton of fun, Will miss it very much. I would tell anyone either just getting into the sport or experienced the farm is where its at and the place to be.

Thanks Everyone I appreciate the Help...I was supposed to get back into the air this past sunday but the wind was not cooperating. So Tommorow is the new day. Hopefully Ill get it this time around. Im feeling a bit more confident about it...Should allllll work out. thanks again everyone. -"It's amazing the kinds of things you think about when there's no time to think."

Well if the glue is a problem turn the heat up in your house as high as you can. The glue will soften and the flooring will actually slide. Allowing it to come RIGHT UP. to get the staples up, its tedious, but grab a flat bar and go staple by staple. If your in the NY area gimme a shout....Good Luck otherwise. Whatever you do DO NOT use a torch to soften the glue the whole floor will flash on you and you will have a bigger problem. -"It's amazing the kinds of things you think about when there's no time to think."

On AFF Level four now and repeated it once. My instructors are all VERY VERY helpful and giving me great tips a long with everyone else at the farm. But For some reason I cant Seem to keep my legs solid in the proper position during free fall. They either wobble a round a bit or are very unsymetrical. I am very comfortable in the air but I don't know what it is. On the GROUND I got it down but it seems once im in the air I "feel" as if I am doing ti but video shows I am not. Anyone have any tips on me keeping a proper arch and good legs throughout the sky dive. I REALLY want to just bang out the level and have everything click. So Whatya got for me...? -"It's amazing the kinds of things you think about when there's no time to think." TOWER LADDER 44...FDNY, SOUTH BRONX

Brother, As far as I know NC is a taxable state. I have a list of 13 States Somewhere Around here if I can find it that are not Taxable. Florida, Mississippi, texas, nevada new hampshire, just to name a few off the top of my head. We were actually talking about it this afternoon at the kitchen table, so its gotta be true. -"It's amazing the kinds of things you think about when there's no time to think."
