Hey, I always treat her like a woman, i even stroke her before going to bed (which gets my gf jealous). I definitely will talk to people at my dz. The psycho pack locks very interesting, but im not sure if this is already something for me. I wanna master the pro pack before going psycho. It's winter now and there will be a lot of rainy sundays (ok, in Ireland theres always lots of rainy sundays) which i will spend practicing packing in my living room

Hi, I have a problem packing my Spectre 170. When i took the packing course, i was packing some old student canopy with probably >1000 jumps and packing wasn't difficult at all. You could even leave the chute on the floor without holding it and it wouldn't inflate a bit. My Spectre is totally different. It has 120 jumps and the material is still very crisp. Everything works fine until i lay it on the floor. Pushing the air out of it is almost impossible, as it breathes air the moment i take my hands of it. After I do the s-folds the whole thing does not look very trustworthy... Does anybody have some advise for me?

Exactly. So how do we tell if she's made of wood? Build a bridge out of her! Ah, but can you not also make bridges out of stone? Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/4000meter Youtube Favorites: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjnVsp4Epra-PRDETgrF3M04B3X86X1eh

Hi, i consider myself liberal, but in my opinion free citizens of a free country should be allowed to own samurai swords, as they should be allowed to own guns as well. But on the other hand, i can understand why this ban was agreed. I live in Finglas, which is considererd to be one of the rougher parts of Dublin and things have gotten really bad over here. Every 13yr. old knacker is carrying a knife and he is using it. Without any hesitation and also during the most banal disputes. Nevertheless i don't think that the only answer of the government should be to forbid everything that becomes problematic. Whats next? I imagine that a chainsaw could do a lot of damage too. Is a chainsaw driving licence the answer? Do we need a register for all chainsaw owners? Well, on the other hand, that would create so many bureaucracy jobs that we get full employment again! Hmm, i think i just solved the crime and the unemployment problem in one coup EDIT: Typo Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/4000meter Youtube Favorites: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjnVsp4Epra-PRDETgrF3M04B3X86X1eh

Number of times you had to retake AFF jumps
4000m replied to mik's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
None, but probably only because it was too cloudy and the instructors could not see my errors If you wanna watch my AFF --> http://www.youtube.com/4000meter Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/4000meter Youtube Favorites: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjnVsp4Epra-PRDETgrF3M04B3X86X1eh -
Hi, i am a student with 22 jumps now and maybe its interesting for you to hear my experience. I find the 2 stage flare much better, because for me it is easier to find the final flare point when already on 1/3 brakes. Especially as i jump different canopies, because i jump rental gear at the moment. So if i do 4 jumps a day, i might do 1 jump on a 190 Spectre, another one on a 210 Sabre 2, another one on a Nav 200 and maybe switch back to the Spectre 190 (I know that this is definately not the optimal way of progressing). Puting in around 1/3 brakes at about 30ft. slowes me down and give me a little more time to find the final flare point in ~8ft. height. It also reduces the risk to flare to late or to early. I don't know if i am building up a bad habbit (if so please tell me), but flaring this ways works great for me and i have 20 standup landings out of 22 jumps. I messed up two landings because i was doing the single flare method this time and flared way to late. When i will be ready to jump my own gear (i have a Mirage G4 with a Spectre 170 in it), i will get used to the flying and flaring characteristics and probably change my flareing behaviour, but at the moment the 2 stage method works fine for me.

Hi, as DARK mentioned, there are two DZ in Ireland. One Cessna 182 DZ in Nenagh, near Limerick --> http://www.skydiveireland.ie The other, bigger, DZ is the IPC in Clonbullogue --> http://www.skydive.ie It takes me about 45min. from North Dublin to the DZ. The IPC is opened from Thursday to Monday and they have a nice Porter. When are you going to be in Ireland? There is the Irish Boogie going on from July 24th till August 3rd.
