  1. Has anyone been to Skydive Jersey in Pittstown, NJ yet?
  2. So I did some searching and could not find much information on balloon jumps. I was just wondering what prep work if any and what requirements I needed to do a balloon jump in a non-DZ area. Thanks for your help as I have found a pilot willing to take me up on a regular basis.
  3. Skydive crosskeys in NJ is so close to 95 and no one mentioned it?
  4. Questions like this that people actually ask on the boards are pretty rhetorical IMO. I fly a Sabre 170 and only have 52 jumps total. Do you guys think it would be ok to jump Luigi's VX39?
  5. I am about the same size as you and had your same problem, until i started jumping with properly outfitted people and improving my own flying i actually have a problem with flying too fast now...i out fall 220 pounders of similar height.
  6. Haha it is more comfortable to lean on someone and if someone else wants to be more comfortable than they can lean on me....granted i weigh 150ish with gear so me leaning on someone is as bad as 250 pounds leaning on me
  7. Any News on whether or not they are developing a DRX that can be put on a G3?
  8. 25 at eloy 24 at cross keys seems a tad high
  9. To me, I learn something on every jump whether it was successful or not. Every jump is fun and that is kind of the point isnt it? I have tried about 10 4 ways and havent had one successful yet. Only about 2 or 3 were my fault but they were still fun and taught us all something about our flying and that of the people we jump with. Just have fun and be safe. Ive seen some close calls from people being a bit too agressive or not paying attention.
  10. Did a similar jump also. 4 solo exits all to chase me. We had 3 linked with the open slot for the 4th that was never docked unfortunately. Oddly this is the first time we as a group have not experience the formation spinning. On a given heading the whole time waiting for our 4th and finally break off alti.

  12. i figured this for sure but i was wondering if other devices were more accurate or if this was to be expected from such things. I also wonder if the free fall time is calculated as per speed or from time it senses exit to the time it senses deployment
  13. Anyone experience issues with the neptune being inaccurate as far as speed and freefall time logging? Did a 4 way and my friend who also uses a neptune had a freefall speed 10 mph faster than my despite us being linked from exit...
  14. The cnn video is down still. I wonder if the jump is canceled or just delayed.
  15. thats going to be sad, i wanted to try to make it out to jump it
