  1. First tip is to not use your butt to slow you down when you come hauling in. Oh no.... no more pies. 3 different times in the same night for a total of 15ish pies is PLENTY for me! Yup for sure will be there friday. It will be later though. Josh Q: Why would someone ever want to jump from a perfectly good airplane? A: Why Not?
  2. Thanks guys for the input. I have done a few more FF jumps and can now pretty much hold a sit the whole time. It will take me a while to get into it sometimes but once i get it I am able to hold it ok. Still working on it! :) Josh "Sweets" Q: Why would someone ever want to jump from a perfectly good airplane? A: Why Not?
  3. FINALLY I have passed my 100 jump mark. I started jumping in 07 and didn't do many (only 41 jumps in a year and a half). So far this year since April ive done 65 jumps bringing my total to 106. I LOVE IT and can't wait to learn new things! Just thought i would let you guys know. Josh "Sweets" Q: Why would someone ever want to jump from a perfectly good airplane? A: Why Not?
  4. Well everyone this is me trying to sit-fly. This is my third attempt at it and as you can see in the video... i still suck. I was laughing my head off though during the jump every time i flipped over and lost it. Hope you all enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKclOeMas6U Josh Q: Why would someone ever want to jump from a perfectly good airplane? A: Why Not?
  5. So I am guessing the UK has different age rules then we do here in the US? Josh Q: Why would someone ever want to jump from a perfectly good airplane? A: Why Not?
  6. I just got my mag today. What page is this on? I didn't see it. Josh BTW I am going to start packing out at my DZ to help fund my jumping habits. LOL Q: Why would someone ever want to jump from a perfectly good airplane? A: Why Not?
  7. Here you go... watch this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=KddsIbP2wXc Josh Q: Why would someone ever want to jump from a perfectly good airplane? A: Why Not?
  8. LOL, don't worry man... you will get there too. It took my dad and I over a year but it was WELL worth the wait. Josh Q: Why would someone ever want to jump from a perfectly good airplane? A: Why Not?
  9. Thanks Jason, you have been a HUGE help! And you know... we have to keep all you guys/girls happy out there. Josh Q: Why would someone ever want to jump from a perfectly good airplane? A: Why Not?
  10. HAHA THanks Doc. Yup, not 21 yet. Will be end of July though! HAHA Josh Q: Why would someone ever want to jump from a perfectly good airplane? A: Why Not?
  11. Yup! Thats what I am really looking forward too!!! I can't wait! Josh Q: Why would someone ever want to jump from a perfectly good airplane? A: Why Not?
  12. Today was a beautiful/VERY HOT day in Ritzville WA. BUT despite all that my dad and I both got our "A" licenses. We both started jumping at the same time May of last year and today we both finished up our "A" card requirements and did our final checkout dive. It's an awesome feeling! I can't wait to go start jumping with others now and also to continue to learn about this awesome sport. Thanks to everyone out at West Plains Skydiving for putting up with us. LOL Josh Q: Why would someone ever want to jump from a perfectly good airplane? A: Why Not?
  13. Hey everyone, I am still new to the skydiving sport (20 jumps) but I am wanting to start to get my own gear. I have already bought the VISO digital alt. and love it. Now I am wanting to get my own helmet and goggles. My question is should I get a full face helmet or an open face helmet with goggles. I am wanting to do both RW and freeflying. I know the most people use the full face for RW work and the open face for freeflying. The reason I am not wanting to wait is because the DZ I am jumping at charges rent on EVERYTHING! Including helmet and goggles ($5 each). I know it's not much but it is sort of getting expensive. Thanks for the help! Josh Q: Why would someone ever want to jump from a perfectly good airplane? A: Why Not?
  14. Nice, I liked the dude who was trying to run in the air. LOL and the low flying heli ride would be sweet to! Josh Q: Why would someone ever want to jump from a perfectly good airplane? A: Why Not?
  15. Thanks. Yeah no hard feelings. Like I said, it works for me and it might not work for others. Everyone will find things that will and will not work for them. Josh Q: Why would someone ever want to jump from a perfectly good airplane? A: Why Not?
