  1. Hey jumpers im looking for someone or a couple of people to ride from st pete to Z-hills on a regular basis. I have my own car but all my friends who dont jump want no part of the DZ. Also looking for someone who wants to have a drink and help me master this packing thing
  2. Ok here it is i am ashamed to say i have been in the sport for a little over a year and the only packing i have done is for my A license. You see my DZ only charges $6 to pack and i had the attitude let someone who does that for a living do it rather then me and my 150 jumps a year. Untill the other day when a friend of mine went to Deland and for some reason their riggers didnt show up untill that afternoon and for him to keep jumping he packed on memory from a year ago. So i got thinking i better learn all over again. So here is my problem i have taken a refesher course and i can walk my lines out and flake no problem but when i look into my chute ABCD lines are just a blurr and i begin to get confused and second guess my self. I have watched pack like a pro about 100 times and my friends say i need to learn how to pro pack and not flat pack. I have a Sabre II 260( yes im a large guy) and it is new with about 100 jumps so it is still very slick. I thuoght i schould number line tabs but everyone says just do it. Does any one have any ideas on how to make this learning process go any smoother. Michael [email protected]
  3. What do you do on an emergency exit of plane. it was at 6000 ft and in control. do you hop and pop or do you hop track away then pop. Just wondering because we had a little of both.
  4. I went to vegas the other week and couldnt find anyone who wasent a tandem factory untill i spoke to dawn at sin city. The plane is small and they are a new facility but they sure make up for it. Dawn the facility manager kept my wife comfortable on the ground. Brad the jump master kept things going in the air. I recomend to anyone who wants to jump go here weather its solo or tandem. Either way they will take care of you i no next time im in vegas this is where i will jump Michael Jaconetta A-51897
