  1. I knew Bob. we jumped at Skydive Palm Beach and you are correct he died jumping an antannae 1184 feet, had a key to dumbwaiter which eliminated the climb up. It is strange, the more I practice, the better I get!
  2. I am looking for the best place in the USA to do a cutaway and jump for several months to a year. Looking for decent living conditions, restaurant, camping, bunkhouses, showers, friendly people, etc. , Any help will be appreciated. I have been thinking Deland, any input? Thanks It is strange, the more I practice, the better I get!
  3. Done quite a bit of BASE jumping, but focused on Skydiving out of planes if you will. Got a 100 jumps with no malfunctions. I often read of people flying to their main as not to lose it, makes perfect sense. On a cutaway, opening altitude should be around 1500 feet. What should the priority be, flying to the dropzone and watching where the main goes or flying to the main. It seems like to catch a cutaway main you will probably be going downwind most of the time, how are you going to set up an upwind landing, oh massive hook turn, I forgot!

  4. Does anyone have any interesting drops in Iraq that are not classified? I would enjoy hearing of them. GOFAST It is strange, the more I practice, the better I get!
  5. Anybody got a favorite team out there they would ;ike to boast about. I like the Tarheel fan myself. I liked Kentucky, but they decided they did not want to play no more and got on the bus and went back to Lexington. Of course I pull for Alabama, but they usually do not do well in round ball.

  6. He is correct, to be dehydrated is bad for you overall. Your body has an ingredient called interferon which helps fight it, only bad thing is it makes your body ache. Roger Brown It is strange, the more I practice, the better I get!
  7. I was wandering if there is a problem getting someone to repack the reserve on a REFLEX or is it like other pop tops. I am new to the sport and need help. The rig has 200 jumps and is excellent shape. No reserve rides yet. You met this somewhere else. I am sorry, but I am still confused about the Catapult system. I have heard about part of the cloth hanging out of the cap made him get out of the plane and fix the pack. Is this all irrevelent. GOFAST It is strange, the more I practice, the better I get!
  8. The Police are full of it. I have met some good ones, but there are some real egg heads. GOFAST It is strange, the more I practice, the better I get!
  9. I have had the flu shot 5 years and have yet to have had the Flu in 5 years GOFAST. It is strange, the more I practice, the better I get!
  10. A Base jump would be the cheapest!! LOL I would worry about where I was going to get the best training whatever the cost. GOFAST It is strange, the more I practice, the better I get!
  11. I can see it closing down some drop zones that are just breaking even. It will not hurt the drop zone I am at. They got the money. Somebody may have to sell a Ferrari or two. GOFAST It is strange, the more I practice, the better I get!
  12. I bet that cat got some of his ass when the claws were unwrappd!!! GOFAST It is strange, the more I practice, the better I get!
  13. Does the average rigger charge any more to repack a Reflex with catapult. GOFAST It is strange, the more I practice, the better I get!
  14. Can you land with those ears or do you still need a parachute. Those ears should work like a wing suit!!!!! Cool avatar!LOL It is strange, the more I practice, the better I get!
  15. How heavy are you loading the chute. I would go back to .7 or so. It is strange, the more I practice, the better I get!
