  1. I first started coming here because my home DZ only had C-182s. Instructors recommended that I visit other DZs and test my skills at other places. At first it wasn't the most welcoming DZ for new jumpers. They had a reputation of being only a "tandem factory". But I made friends with other fun jumpers AND the staff. I've had some of the most funnest jumps there and met a lot of cool people. SSM has made a huge effort to make it fun jumper friendly and now it is. With a new PR/Advertising girl, they are holding more events that are fun, and brings a lot of people in. I recommend this place to anyone. Skillful jumpers in RW and Freeflying. Oh and they have good looking packer girls.
  2. I ordered my suit online on 31 aug. did all the measuring myself and with a help from a friend. it was easy to figure out what to measure with the picture diagram and instructions. Lots of different stock styles to chose from, and you can customize the colors right there and see it! I opted to pay the extra for the 2 week delivery because I really wanted to start jumping in it. After about 11 days, I emailed [email protected] to check the status. On the same day I got a reply telling me it was shipped and on its way, and even gave me the tracking number with FedEx. Finally on 13 Sep it was delivered to my door. The suit fit perfectly with shorts and tshirt on, the way I measured. fits nice and snug but flexible enough to move and bend. So comfortable that I don't want to take it off! I recommend Kurupee to anyone wanting a new suit. I know the reviews below say the customer service was bad but that was years ago and its good to go now. I had no issues, couple other friends ordered through them and had no issues either. AND I got a free Kurupee tshirt! Right ON!!!
  3. do you guys set up you rigs differently for swooping? ie type/size of risers, sliders, chest/belly straps, etc.
