Awesome information thank you!

Can anyone link me up with information on harness sizing? I keep reading over M0-M8 or J this C that.. Well I have no idea what they are! And if I can find out what I would need, that would be helpful

Yeah.. waiting a little wouldn't hurt. I really don't see myself sticking with rw too long, and going freefly instead but I guess you never know this early on. I just am not sure if I like the feel of them. The extra power is there in my feet but I don't feel I need it. I have alot of power in my thighs/knees as I've been working on that for a little while.. What would be nice is some sort of detachable system!

I picked up this jumpsuit used a couple weeks ago, with a Z1 helmet for an awesome price. It fits well, colors are cool, the only thing is is that I don't really care for the booties. The first few jumps with it, I can definitely tell the difference, however I don't believe I like it. I was wondering if it would be possibly, or an easy task, for someone to remove the booties so that it ends up just sort of like a freefall bottom, with an elastic strap to go into my shoe and under my foot.. Good ex. this pic, where I just have the booties tucked up inside.. (attached)

The distance competition sounds like a fun spin on things. If I understand this correctly, everyone has to agree on a set alti to throw at, correct?

Sounds awesome. Now in final preparation I need to go buy some waterproofing spray to coat my tent with, seeing as how it's a POS

Is that "that is,.." supposed to mean you enforce it only in the area that you serve? That was worded weird.

None! And only needed 2 coach jumps to finish up my proficiency card then off to solo's to hit 25..

I've actually had this thought before too.. If you guys know of any post a link up!

And a skittles would be..

Thanks guys, it's all back to me now. That vid from skydiving movies beats anything from youtube, almost forgot about that site!

What exactly is a tracking contest? What criteria/objectives are judged..?

Is the food expensive? And is there enforcement on under 21 drinking?

I don't get stuffed up, but alot of the time when I'm back on the ground my nose is somewhat runny and I sneeze like CRAZY

Can someone give me any advice as I'll be camping there? Not jumping, but just as far as camping things to remember. Should I be packing enough food (with my grill) to feed my party everyday? Things of that nature, thanks..

Guys, you don't have to worry about me hoping only for the internet to help me. Yeah, I have my amigos at the dz to help me out haha Just wanted to get a refresher, or a few links posted like I figured Thanks guys

I took a short packing class a month or so ago, but I haven't done anything with it since as I'm finishing up my student status. I do however need to pack my chute within the next 4 jumps, as well as I'd like to continue packing. I remember the steps, I just am not 100% sure on the order dealing with the canopy. Does this sound correct? Get it over your shoulder and turn the nose to the side, count the cells and throw those between your legs. Now find the middle and seperate it evenly, and flake all the fabric between each set of lines. Then reach way down and find the outer layer and pull it up and over the riser covers, and then over each side, and set it all down.. From beginning to end of the canopy is all I need, but does that sound right? I feel like at some point I took the nose out from my knees but I can't remember when or for what purpose.

Try not to focus so much on that arch itself, and being a static figure. Of course, arch hard! but at the same time let yourself feel the air hitting you. When you sit down in a lazyboy, do you try to hold a perfect posture? Hell no! Get comfortable and let the chair hold you

Shouldn't put numbers towards it at all, it is entirely based on the individual himself. I have been doing solo's to get to 25/my A, and I have already been flying on my back. I flew through AFF and only needed a few coach jumps to knock out the proficiency card. I guess you can say I got bored on my belly so I'm working on a back to sit progression. On the other hand, I will be back on my belly after I get my A and am jumping with others doing small 4 ways and whatnot..

CSC And one thing to keep in mind/remember that a 'incident' or 'fatality' at a certain DZ has no reflection upon the DZ and how it is run, but rather the lack of judgment by a certain individual. Also, I'm pretty sure SDC see's alot more jumpers than CSC, increasing any numbers you wish to look at. My vote is CSC

Just picked up one, not sure what size it is though, how/where can I find that out? And is it also correct that you can purchase different sized padding for the inside to swap out? Thanks

So say I went digital. Is a VISO the way to go, for the money that is? I'm not gonna buy a new neptune, but I don't wanna go cheap. I feel like the VISO falls in the middle perfectly.. Edit: What about the parasport Neoxs, or the L&B Optima, is the Optima only audible?

Gotcha gotcha.. Alright well I'm gonna play it safe with the galaxy for now, that way I'll still have it laying around when my future digi craps out on me

Thanks for that link Andy, it helped and I'm leaning back towards analog but I'm still somewhat on the fence. What about a Suunto Vector?
