  2. thats pretty cool! "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  3. i cant believe anyone hasn't mentioned Harold and Kumar 2. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  4. i'm sure that would require manuevers that a student would most defenatly not do: crank the toggle to feet, front riser spirals(large amount of strengh would be required for that) etc etc that sounds exactly like what a student would do, they dont know any better. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  5. hilarious!!! "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  6. a visual http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.uspa.org/Portals/0/SIM/collison_free_landing.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.uspa.org/tabid/239/Default.aspx&usg=__24BH3tC1YUbFp9PNtsBfL2teC8o=&h=533&w=557&sz=28&hl=en&start=0&sig2=kC6vaAqls2pfJN050iuhgg&zoom=1&tbnid=3sCQZNFoYdH_HM:&tbnh=157&tbnw=164&ei=X0jrTLrbIcH48AbluamSAg&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dleft%2Bhand%2Blanding%2Bpattern%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1600%26bih%3D785%26gbv%3D2%26tbs%3Disch:1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=364&vpy=76&dur=808&hovh=220&hovw=230&tx=154&ty=106&oei=X0jrTLrbIcH48AbluamSAg&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=28&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0 "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  7. i wasn't being sarcastic, i really did enjoy that plane. it was awesome except for the blue mat on the floor, that shit was slippery "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  8. talk about a zoo dive... "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  9. that 400 extra horsepower really made a difference in the climb time compared to our super otter.
  10. Welcome to the Forums! Sorry it's all cold up there - Vacation down in the south, there are a lot of DZ's open all year, and all the cool kids are there anyway. +1 "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  11. United States, Margate City New Jersey Is theresome where better to be like san jose would prefer but over populated so i prefer this, where do u jump http://www.dropzone.com/dropzone/North_America/United_States/New_Jersey/index.html "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  12. what country are you in? what part of that country are you in? "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  13. it is so fucking pointless and stupid that this tragedy occurred, that i don't even know what to say. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  14. thanks for the input. the pics were really helpful. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  15. under gear on dropzone.com the sabre2 is listed as a square canopy. on pd's website they say it is a semi-elliptical canopy. which one is right? "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  16. that seems like it would be alot of wasted time, i beleive you should keep one hand on the chop pilliow and one on the reserve handle. the two hand method is used to make sure you get a clean cut away. i have never chopped but that is the way i practice my ep's. i was picking up a load of jumpers a few weeks ago and one of them had just had a reserve ride. the jumpers cut away cables didn't come all the way out before he fired his reserve. he got lucky and managed to get rid of his main before an entanglement. a very experienced jumper saw it from the air and said he thought he was going to witness a fatality. everyone here is trying to give you advice because of situations they have been in/seen. i have very little experience in skydiving, but i know when to keep my mouth shut and my ears open. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  17. I read where that DZ is either closed or getting ready to close. Nonetheless, Skydive the Farm would be a better suggestion for that area. Skydive GA aka Atlanta Skydiving Center aka SKYRIDE!!! Not good. what she said. the farm is great and it is only 134 miles from benning. i drive 90 miles almost every weekend to go out there. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  18. rubber checks? "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  19. but does he have enough experience to be wearing a go pro??? "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  20. from the movie lost boys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWDUyYQGHMY "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  21. I'm skeptical that those are real. - Well maybe the first one. But DAMN . . . no way. it doesnt really matter if they are real, it's still funny as hell!!! "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  22. thats the exact same progression i took except i skipped the 220. i love my sabre2 and havent had any problems with it. make sure you fly through your flare and dont just use the student stab. i would also open a little higher to get used to the canopy. good luck and blue skies "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  23. what he said. it is all according to you and what you can handle and feel comfortable with. i did an a license package and i loved it. i spread the jumps out more than 9 days though. is 9 days the maximum amount of time you will have in australia? "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  24. yeah those laws suck. i didnt even know i was going to get my license this weekend or i would have. it's a pretty good excuse to go back next weekend! "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  25. got 4 in on saturday and the halloween boogie at the farm. great time!!! oh, and i got my b license so thats beer, but it was sunday "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
