  1. Not necessarily people with thousands of jumps, what I mean is my freeflying in the sky is much father behind my freeflying in the tunnel.
  2. I've seen my buddy pack 63 tandems and 28 sport rigs in a single busy Saturday at a boogie....its def. do-able
  3. I think there can be a pretty serious lag, at least for freeflying. I have like 25hrs in the tunnel and 166 jumps and my freeflying in the sky is much farther behind, but that being said it still is a huge tool and you can see massive improvements in the beginning.
  4. skydive Walterboro(in SC) is having one the last weekend in feb. course instructor is Mike Clemmons.
  5. So I saw this video about a year or two ago, guy is on the step of a cessna and has a reserve preme, it wraps around the tail and eventually tears and he spends the rest of the jump trying to reel in his reserve but eventually has to dump his main into a big ball of crap. Thanks guys and girls!
  6. sharing time is how, members can pool time so my buddies and I end up with about 2.5 hours a week. Or thirty min. if I go by myself. But I am by no means a natural, I just want to be able to Freefly with pretty much anyone and not be the weakest link on the jump.
  7. Well pretty much what the title says, How far could one realisticly take there body piloting skills(freeflying) in a one year period with 2 hours a month in the tunnel as a bare minimum?
  8. Came across this video this morning, interesting to say the least. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAmzbDKU5Og
  9. Then why is a 97 sq. foot sabre2 the same price as a 260 sq.foot Sabre2?
  10. Same here, I'm DYING to jump ANY turbine because a 182 is all that I know haha.
  11. Hey guys I was wondering, at about a one to one wingloading is it more efficient to apply a little brakes, or a little rear-riser to get back from a long spot and flying with the wind on a saber2. thanks!
  12. I just found this thread, I am the OP of the for trade add in question, in South Carolina you can own a handgun as early as age 18 if bought from a private seller and 21 if purchased from a gun shop, The handgun is registered to me and totally legit. Go guns, Go America. Oh, and its still for trade if anyone wants it!
  13. Well I dont live in New England, Im from South Carolina and when we got rained out last weekend a few buddies and I went up about three hours north to North Carolina to jump. It was in the twenties at sea level when we made our first jump and never got above like 37 all day. We all just layered up(long-johns top and bottom, white tee, 2 long sleeves, northface fleece, jeans and ski pants) and my L and B gloves. My hands were the only thing that got cold and it was only under canopy, im pretty sure my hands were sweating in the plane on the way up and thats why they were so cold on the way down. Anyways it was still a ball and would do it again tomorrow if i could.
