I own a Jav DKNY and have a Katana135 in it. Fits fine it is not loose but not a brick either.

The Ranch has a bunch of wingsuiters on any given day. Sussex will have a smallish boogie with a skyvan that weekend so maybe more dresses than usual. Pretty much the same distance from NYC and only an hour apart....I'd hit em both up.

Used to fly at 2.4. Now fly at 1.7.

I have the hidden wrist and ankle cuff spandex on my Vertical suit and I really like it. No downside for me but I could imagine if you were using an analog alti where the strap goes way up your wrist the spandex may get in the way. I wear a Neptune with a wrist strap (no finger loop) and have had no issues. Would order it that way again.

Crash in tunnel = Bursitis diagnosis
JayFitz164 replied to wan2doit's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I have Bursitis in my right shoulder. Orthopedic Dr told me to take 2 Alleve twice a day. It took about 4-5 days for it to build up in my system but by taking Alleve consistently my pain and inflammation has decreased dramatically. I can tell if I forget to take it for a day or two. -
Herniated Disc. Which canopy??
JayFitz164 replied to davidfreefly's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I broke C7, L1, and L2 and I used to fly a Velo. Currently jump a Katana @ 1.7 WL and the openings are 800-1100 feet depending upon how I pack. Still super fun to fly and the openings are not searching like my Velo's used to. -
Just curious: how many jumps, how many cut-aways?
JayFitz164 replied to GermanSKY's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
1200+ jumps. Zero cutaways. -
Years ago we did a lunar eclipse load at Cross Keys and it was awesome. Half the plane decided they wanted to pull high and check it out. It was late Oct or Nov so it was pretty cold and no one bothered to tell the high pulling folks that they wouldn't really get to see much :) Really cool ride to altitude to watch the eclipse and then freefly in the dark!!! Would do it again without question.

2nd Vt Skydive Adventures. Place has the best view and sunsets over the lake.

Don't have a dog in this fight on the non compete but I saw a video on Facebook of a kid I know doing a tandem out there this summer. Perfectly clear day with no clouds and they got out of the plane at 8,100 feet. Granted the video intro says they only go to 10k but the alti shot in the door says 8k. Looks like its a smooth way to make cash of newbies for not much of a skydive.

Just got this....Cant believe people still do this shit. Thanks for the response to my mail .This is exactly what I need.I'd really like to pay you in cash at hands but right now I'm not withing your reach that I could easily come for the payment and pick - up . I would have love to come personally for viewing but am not around for now, Am a Net working Engineer for Engineering company. We move from one location to another.I agreed with the price that you gave for the jump($1300)And believe that is in good condition base on your explanation.You will send the below information to me so that I can send out the Certified check to you as soon as possible,I will contact my Associate to sent the Certified check to you as soon as possible kindly bear with me because my Son (jacob)Needed the jump very much. I would make arrangements for the picked up by my shipping agent after you must have confirmed the payment cleared with your bank Okay.I would have love come over to your location to view the jump but i can not come at the moment due to the nature of my work as present. Your details for the payment... FULL NAME ON THE CHECK:-................................ FULL ADDRESS:-.............................. ZIP CODE:-........................................... TELEPHONE NUMBER...LAND AND CELL PHONE(S):-............................ So as soon as i receive this information from you, i will forward it to him and he will sent out the Certified check to you as soon possible. More important there will be some excess fund on the check that you will send to the shipping agent immediately you have the payment from him after you might have deducted your asking price.Okay....which cover the shipping fund. Am buying the jump in good faith and trust, the check will take only 2 -3 days to cleared to your account which will be sent to you soon . Regards to your family and have a lovely day. Reply Bill -

I do not disagree that not sharing the serial number is a major red flag. Was just saying that most scammers cast a wide net and work quickly. This guy does not fit that profile.

I responded to the ad in December and did not get a reply. The seller contacted me last week to say that the previous buyer he had been dealing with had fallen through and to see if I still had any interest. The email was not pushy and he detailed size and that he was original owner. I don't have a dog in this fight but in my opinion if he were a scammer mining this site for cash he would've responded to any/all that were interested back in December.
