  1. 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
  2. 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?

  7. 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

  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. 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.

  13. 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.
