  10. Well last weekend i completed my level 8! woopie!! And everyone at the DZ seemed pretty excited for me and was telling me how i need to bring beer to the dz haha. well that weekend i wasn't able to that day, but want to bring some this weekend but am not sure how to go about it as i don't really know these people and I'm not that great with initiating friendships. So how did you do it? or how should i go about this? Thanks. Hi, my names Jon, and I love to skydive.
  11. Well over the weekend i was ale to do my level 5-8 jumps and everything went great!! except a minor injury to my back on my level 7. First off im a student and dont know everything there is to know about skydiving. on my level six, i noticed a had a harder pull then usual but didn't think anything of it, but on my level 7 i had a really painful hard opening. or at least what seemed to be a hard opening. before getting on the plane i noticed that i didnt tighten my leg straps really TIGHT. in fact they were loose enough to were i had to ask my JM to check it, he said "eeh its fine", so off i went. for my level 8, i really strapped them suckers down, because i just could not take another hit like that, and it worked. kinda disappointed in my jm for giving me the heads up when really they should have been tighter. but lesson learned! wish i would have known this head of time! hope this helps someone new to the sport. Hi, my names Jon, and I love to skydive.
  12. - David So if you strap a rig to a sack of potatoes and throw it out of a plane all by itself, the sack of potatoes is now considered a skydiver? haha yes i agree with you. I believe as soon as you exit and save yourself. Thats it. Hi, my names Jon, and I love to skydive.
  13. Glad to be reading your experience as i was too there. After my first jump(tandem) i couldn't stop thinking about how not "scary" it was. It just felt so...normal? It just felt like something that i had done many times to the point where it wasn't so exciting? So i knew i had to do it again but this time with a parachute on my back. Man was that a different feeling. Knowing that your counting on yourself for survival, choosing your own landing spot, making your own turns, it was awesome. The feeling of being at the door has completely changed from the feeling i had when i did the tandem. Its much more exciting now knowing that i am skydiving, not just hanging on to someone who is skydiving. I am very fresh to the sport, but it is something that i know i want to do for many years. Welcome, and im sure you will enjoy your stay! :) Hi, my names Jon, and I love to skydive.
  14. See, just goes to show you the beer does taste that much better after jumping. WELCOME! Hi, my names Jon, and I love to skydive.
  15. haha i definitely am enjoying it! i just hate waiting for the weekend. It was bearable before now its just horrible! Number 29? I only have 1 picture up...? thanks for the welcome Hi, my names Jon, and I love to skydive.
  16. Level 3 and 4 doneeee! Wanted to do 5 and 6 but got windy :( cant jump for another 2 weeks so im pretty bummed out but. happy i have gotten this far. 15 minutes of wind tunnel yesterday helped sooo much. and boy am i feeling it now haha. that shit is tiring! well see you all in the air. 3 more jumps and i do my first SOLO! Hi, my names Jon, and I love to skydive.
  17. 1. AAD 2. Your expecting that your car goes completely straight and the road doesn't curve at all. If you truly do "nothing", then you will not be steering now will ya, which probable means yes you will die. This thread has officially gone completely off topic. 1. If you ever make the decision to rely on your AAD, immediately sell all your gear and buy a bowling ball because skydiving is not for you. 2. How many times have you been in a vehicle when there was a certainty of death? My guess is zero. How many times have you been skydiving when there was a certainty of death? Every time. Its not even comparable and if you can't understand that, I would never want to be in the air with you. You need to follow the conversation more closely. Did anyone advocate, anywhere in this thread, that somebody rely on an AAD? Your need to make dramatic statements seems to have caused you to hear something that was not said. If they did or if they didn't doesn't make a difference. You asked a very specific question, and I answered it. That means I'm being dramatic? Cmon now. Don't ask a question if you don't wanna hear the answer. Be a little more specific next time then?.... This argument is a dead end. Who cares. Blue skies. Someone needs to come up with something better than driving vs skydiving. They are completely different. I think we should just let statistics speak for themselves without having to try and bring another statistic into the mix to prove how "safe" skydiving is. Hi, my names Jon, and I love to skydive.
  18. wow what an idiot. like advised in aan earlier post, go to the news. You have CLEAR facial shot of the guy and i'm sure they would be happy to give you a :30 spot. good luck Hi, my names Jon, and I love to skydive.
  19. Much thanks to jennatalti-2 for the wrist mount hookup! Hi, my names Jon, and I love to skydive.
  20. jvanauken : ya i don't get a jump with one instructor until my level 4 jump if i recall correctly. monkycndo : Hey there! How'd your day go? That was my co-worker Kristina. i think she said she did pretty good. She finds out in a couple weeks. Thanks for asking. Hi, my names Jon, and I love to skydive.

Should anyone? NO. BUT i did answer your question. 2. there is only certainty of death in skydiving if you choose to not pull or have dual malfunctions. and at the same time there is only certainty of death in a car if you are going 160mph and hit a wall or loose control. both have happened. and will happen again. So the lesson here kids is, Don't drive your cars at 160mph into a wall. and don't have dual malfunctions! Hi, my names Jon, and I love to skydive.
