  1. how many of you jumpers are just fun jumpers,is is frownd apon if you have a busy llife with kids and you dont really do to much of the disciplines but do the occasional club accuracy stuff,and just all round jump for fun when time permits

  2. your taught to kick out of line twists but see alot of guys reaching for the risers and trying to spread them apart....is this dangerous can your hand get caught in a tightly bound twist and whats the best canopy for a A licensed jumper that get the least line twists provided that its packed and deployed rightB|

  3. how does one tell if the glide ratio will be enough to get to a off landing area or if you will make it bak to the d.z.or do people look a certain distance and choose somewhere in that area,what makes you think whether your just going to fall short basically how do jumpers gauge there cone area....sorry for long post:D

  4. when u start you have time to hang out all w;end jump n and have n drinks at nite but when life gets busy and you have kids how do you fit time in....do people jump every couple of weeks or try get a jump in before or after pik n kids up would love to hear from people who juggle life and jumping

  5. i have been reading alot lately about the damage most people mostly novice divers incounter while landing ...i no that proper canopy control is the answer but does it help to wear ankle supports or basketball type shoes for ankle support in case of a awkward landings

  6. hi jumpers just want to no peoples views on pilot chute out to full extension but wont open container,some views are that you dont need to cutaway just deploy reserve but others say cutaway because if main starts to deploy wile reserve is you narrow the chances of entanglement if main is disconected from risers(cutaway) your views would be much apreciated:P

  7. proberly not fair to say americans i should have said ego filled jumpers who think there it....im sure when they make a mistake and end up on there back they wouldnt apreciate an ego driven jumper to mock them....we are only humans ...and yes no matter how long you jump for your never perfect

  8. not saying all the americans are the same but it seems by reading all the forums and answers to questions you guys just mock and shoot down other jumpers ...no matter what the experiance of jumpers were all in or trying a sport that creates so many questions and so many safety aspects,and yes we should talk to jump masters but its also good to get advice from round the world thats what forums are for......but seems theres that group of americans that have that american veiw........were beter than the rest of the world...so to those guys how bout some words of incouragement and advice instead of takeing the piss out of people that dont have 500 jumps .......>:(

  9. for a first rig for some one who has done 20 30 jumps and has an a license what manufacture of canopys would have the softest opening forces i no alot depends on pack procedures and slider care but just as a general idea on certain canopy brandsB|
