You will still need to do at least 5 coach jumps. You will also need to rent gear and take a packing class. Those costs can add up. Check to see if the $3500 includes gear rental, coach jumps, and packing lessons. It might be a better deal than you think.

Sometimes you just have to make a change in your life. Get out of the condo. You'll lose some money, but you might be better off in the long run. It's only money, you can always earn more. The question you have to ask yourself is how much do you value your mental/emotion well being? "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Brilliant! "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

On a RW jump I like to break at 4500 and start my deployment at 3500. That includes wave-off and pitch. I pitch higher when I'm in my wingsuit. "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Once upon a time there was a one-legged man and his loyal dog Neo Sporran. He went to Wok his dog at a chinese opium den filled with New York Giants, when out of the haze there suddenly came a glowing fart! The giant turtle that farted screamed "STOP! Hammer time!" Meanwhile, climbing aboard the space shuttle, the door gunner took his best shot, and unfortunately had an LSD flash back. He kept hearing very loud voices saying "STOP! HAmmer Time!" But they would not listen. Meanwhile, back in the den, the linebacker who held the match sat thinking about sulfur, but he realized that it wasn't the match or the turtle, it was the zebra! The zebra kept wondering why he kept seeing men in skirts and gold chained nipple clamps, singing Cher songs from the 70's. In an attempt to regain his sanity, the zebra ran to his local subway restaraunt, where he promptly ordered a foot long chicken mayo with onion, tomato, lettuce, chili, olives, peppers and honey and mustard sauce, after which he proceeded to the local morgue to pick up his laundry. When he got to the morgue, he made the horrifying discovery that his laundry had been used to dress a corpse which was sent to mythbusters for an experiment about one legged men on pogo sticks. The zebra went to the set of mythbusters and ate his sammich. The linebacker knew what he had to do. He went to the liquor store and bought a handle of 151. He set his mind on drinking until he couldn't feel feelings anymore. He was heartbroken. "That zebra has not seen the last of me. I will make him pay for farting on the plane again!" exclaimed the linebacker. So the linebacker went searching for the zebra. The first place he decided to look was at Airtwardo's house, knowing his affection towards horses. Unfortunately, he found only clydesdales. So he went to The Farm, knowing the zebra would most likely mistake the dropzone for a legitimate farm. It wasn't a farm though, it was a brothel that performed Tijuana donkey shows with midget strippers covered in glitter. All at a competitive price. So the linebacker approached popsjumper, the leader of the brothel, to inquire about a job preparing the donkeys. Popsjumper answered "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Don't worry. It probably won't be too long before you're as crazy as the rest of us. As to the original question, whenever I see a flag I plan a landing pattern. "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Congrats! "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

I voted mostly responsible because I agree that your decisions define who you are, but you do not always have control over the circumstances that force you to make your decision. If you had never been in a difficult situation, you never would have had to make a difficult decision which then influences the rest of your life. "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

I would call the entire jump a success. -You didn't exit stable, but you fixed that. -You're more relaxed, as shown by the singing. -You remembered to keep an eye out for traffic. -You flew a clear landing pattern. -You recognized that you had made a mistake but didn't panic. -You fixed that mistake without endangering yourself or others. -You landed safely. I'd call that a successful skydive. Great job! "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

That was hilarious! "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Thanks! I guess my google skills need some work. "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

My sister, who is also a skydiver, is having a baby in April. I joked about getting her a skydiving themed mobile and she seemed to like the idea. I have done a few Google searches, but haven't been able to find anything. Does anyone know where I could find one or if they are even available?

I just got a new altimeter and periodically checked it against my friend's on the way to altitude. Every time I checked they matched so I called it good. "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

It is super easy. My buddy Johnny Utah did great on his first jump without any training and he didn't even get to watch any youTube videos. "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

I have had such a great time reading all of these incredible stories and look forward to hearing some more. "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Well yeah look at how amazing I am! I mean look at me! DEAD SEXY! Well dressed! Well spoken! And I look you in the eyes when we talk just so you can admire how great I look! I mean really! (the above is sarcasm) So you're saying that you're not amazing, dead sexy, well dressed, or well spoken?

How is everyone planning on ringing in 2012? I'm going to Montreal for the weekend to hang out with friends and fly in the tunnel. Whatever you're doing, I hope you have a fun and safe New Years! If you believe the Mayans, this may be the last one, so make it count! "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

I started with small RW groups. When I was at a dz that had them, I joined Load Organizers and asked a lot of questions. I hang out after sunset load talking to instructors and other experienced skydivers. I listen to their stories and ask them to explain why they did what they did (and often what they should have done instead ). Staying afterwards not only increased my knowledge, but built friendships with some of the most amazing people I know.
