My dad got his pilot lic when I was 13 so flying was no big deal when it came time to jump...I remember on my first thinking "oh this is no big deal..its just like flying with dad".... however when they opened the door to take a peak its was a WHOLE NEW BALL GAME!!! Not to mention when they opened it all the way to jump!!! Coarse its all good now jason Freedom of speech includes volume

Last time I tried that I looked like an idiot! (see thread "teaching to pack")...But hey I guess everyone has something to offer to anyone no matter how small it may be!! jason Freedom of speech includes volume

One question to ask is...Is my drinking affecting my job.... ?? This was a questionI heard asked by a Dr on addiction. jason Freedom of speech includes volume

Yeah I did it too!! Nothing happened! jason Freedom of speech includes volume

Its weird cause 101=2, and 340=7 and 315=9.... so whats 9-7...=2 which is equal to 101 ... which is equal to the # of bones broke ...Now thats some weird shit.... the 105 is just to throw you off the trail!! jason Freedom of speech includes volume

I fly a HOR 150 and yes it too opens like you mentioned ..about 700ft... But I personally think thats a good thing... not too fast a yet not too slow!!! jason Freedom of speech includes volume

50$!!!!!!Holy shit!!!...come up to ogden skydive and we'll teach you for FREE!!!!! Like Isaidin the post its all about jumpers helping jumpers!!! You said it!!! jason Freedom of speech includes volume

While I was at the dz this last weekend a jumper with about 25 jumps asked if I could show him how to pack..I wasnt sure what the rules where on this at our DZ sold I told him to ask the DZO about it ...They said it was all right and that its just a jumper helping another jumper out.... (yes I am VERY confedent in my packing buy the way) Any Way I found out REAL quick how difficult teaching can be .... it was much like tieing shoes...its easy to do but try to explain it to someone thats never done it.......thats not easy... so any way we got the brakes stowed and I showed him the correct way and ways that wernt correct ... got the nose flaked and in between his legs and then oh shit.... I'm a lefty and hes a righty!!! So I worked through that and showed him about seperating the line groups A @ B ,, then quarter the slider,, then go through C @ D...this again was a little struggle because of the way he wanted to hold it being a righty.. Plus I had problems finding the right line sets looking at it from the different angle... I then stepped in and took over the job to find the line sets and as Soon as I started it was cake again.. however when I handed it back to him to take over it just got confusing looking at it from the backwards angle... at that point I didnt feel comfortable and apoligized to the guy and told him I wasnt feeling comfortable about this and I called over one of our packers to take over...he was busy at the time doing tandems but was then finished... I told the the packer my problem and he kinda laughed and I told him to just start over the the guy... I again apoligized to him and went on my own business ... the guy did get shown and packed his own rig and jumped it ..yes it opened... But I got a good lesson that day ...some things are easier done then explained,,, and know when you over your head ...whether your in the helping in the air or on the ground!!! I'd love to be able to help people pack but maybe I''ll go teach my wife on my canopy so next time I wont look like an idiot!! Hey if I can teach my wife to pack I could teach anyone... (No offence honey) jason Freedom of speech includes volume

Ifitsthe one I'm thinkingof I think I've already seenit... it was Ok but itdelt more with military than sport jumping!!! nothing that exciting...that is if its the oneI already saw!!! "but I'm not an expert" jason Freedom of speech includes volume

Hey my lasers are running...not much else to do while I'm waiting ..so........ jason Freedom of speech includes volume

My job bugs me from 330pm till 200am!!! After that thay can all piss off!! jason Freedom of speech includes volume

Is that some kinda new canopy material? jason Freedom of speech includes volume

Well...My 4 yr old has her bank account!!! Hell she even has more money in hers than I do in mine!! "Sweety...can you loan daddy some money to go jumping?" jason Freedom of speech includes volume

I dont see where thats a problem.. if you can drive across a bridge then you can walk or ride a bike acrss it!!! she just may have to be more careful..but I agree that if it was my kid the car would already be gone!!! And the snow board...I dont care if she did buyit withher own money... if she hasnt paid for the car payment , then theres collateral... I'm a firm believer in tough love and sometimes thats what it takes...emphisis on the tough!! jason Freedom of speech includes volume

2000 Talon2!!! jason Freedom of speech includes volume

I know for me I'mgoing bythe break away video where if its a stable side by side and I have directional control...maintain altitude awarenes.. fly using gentle toggle input on the main canopy and NO flare on the landing!!! Not an exact quote but pretty darn close!! jason Freedom of speech includes volume

Thats howIlearnedmy frist barrel roll...in a track... Iwas jsut told to get into track position then grab grad an ass cheek and roll it out!!! FUNSHIT!! jason Freedom of speech includes volume

BOO YAA.....take em to the hole!! jason Freedom of speech includes volume

I'm only 2miles away from my DZ...Sucs though whenI have towatch the plane on jump run all day cause I'm stuck at home!! jason Freedom of speech includes volume

Maybe he was refering to mine or am I sounding too conseeded now.... anyway I'm not offended... in the words of Ted Turner.......Might like it...Might not..either way I'll sleeplike a baby!! jason Freedom of speech includes volume

HURRAAAYYY FOR THE ASSHOLES!!! Lets hijack this thread to "If you an asshole and proud of it STEP UP"!!!! jason Freedom of speech includes volume

Yeah...I'll vote asshole...that way if you likeme..SHWEET!...but if you dont..hey Itold you I was an Asshole! jason Freedom of speech includes volume

On the flip side ..I heard a jumper say he wouldnt freefly with anyone unless they had a pillow reserve for faer of getting your feet caught in the D handle...go figure! jason Freedom of speech includes volume

Was 40 njumps away from D but o well... got B and C!!! jason Freedom of speech includes volume

Its a must for me that I go through "pitch, cutaway, reserve, in the plane EVERY jump!! Most the tiime I'll problably grab my handles closeto 7 to 10 times!! And Yeah I sometimes get picked on for it ...but owell !! jason Freedom of speech includes volume
