  1. Hopefully when I get out of school at texas a&m I will get the opportunity to give yall a visit Right now the budget kinda limits me though "I didn't know they gave out rings at the holocaust"
  2. Thanks guys, this is all good stuff to hear, anybody else want to put their 2 cents in? "I didn't know they gave out rings at the holocaust"
  3. Well in the program I was in it seemed like I had a different instructor everytime... I used a 210 sabre 2 for a good portion of the jumps and landed it perfectly almost every time. I guess I'm just not sure when is the appropriate time to move on if you have mastered landing and controlling a certain kind. Right now I feel comfortable using the 190 but not near like I could the 210. However, it just seems kind of dumb to buy a 190 if i'm going to have it completely down in another 10-15 jumps. I just don't know much and don't want to assume things, so I was trying to find out what people experienced themselves I guess, rather than advice.

  4. Oops hehe, name's Sheldon Jones! Sweet, I can't wait to meet new people and learn new information "I didn't know they gave out rings at the holocaust"
  5. Hmmm thanks for the info, guess I am just trying to figure out more general info about different parachutes. So there is no general rule of thumb for any certain material or number of cells? Just that every manufactured parachute is different? "I didn't know they gave out rings at the holocaust"
  6. Hmm thanks for the info, it just seems like everybody has a different opinion about everything, just trying to gather as much information as possible. Whats the main difference between a 7 cell and a 9 cell? And you don't think that I should buy a 170 or something so I can keep it for a while? "I didn't know they gave out rings at the holocaust"
  7. Pretty simple, new to sport yet I hate doing things I'm not decently knowlegable about. Just looking for any good books that have the more beneficial information about any and everything. Thanks "I didn't know they gave out rings at the holocaust"
  8. I just graduated from a student program and I have about 3 more jumps until my A license. I'm trying to figure out what I need to be using and a general price range I should look to spend. Sorry guys still a noob at the sport and I'm just lookin for some help! Not sure what is considered too many jumps or too many years old. Just any insight into a general direction would be nice. I weigh about 170 and flew a 190 main on my last jump. I'm in college so a new setup is out of the question thanks "I didn't know they gave out rings at the holocaust"
  9. Alright, well just wanted to get my first post up, I just graduated from our student program at Skydive Spaceland in Houston, Texas. I'm new to the sport and can't wait to learn "I didn't know they gave out rings at the holocaust"
