  1. 20 round sit attempt at ELOY during their holiday boogie Dec 26th For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp
  2. 1st Tandem in July 2009 for my 21st B-day. Began AFF in Sept and got my license that same month. 230 jumps since March 2010 when I picked up my new rig and 30 prior to that during AFF and renting gear.

  4. perhaps you could look into a pilot canopy in ZPX material or consider a PD Pulse which would both back roughly a size smaller For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp
  5. I'd highly recommend for your daughter to try them on see how they fit and the protection that they offer as well as view. Personally I'd say Cookie G2 or Bonehead Mamba For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp
  6. On a side note....anyone know or have the dimensions of the Mirage MZS and the Javelin RSK? Width, Length, Thickness? For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp
  7. No. Without writing a book, just talk to your instructors. Student main and reserve should be .75 - 1.0 wing loading. Talk to your local rigger also he might help as well. +1..... Couldn't have said it any better For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp
  8. Actually on the women's HD record there was a woman who only had 700ish jumps but tons of tunnel time and definitely made it happen For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp
  9. Upwards of 40k you would technically need a partial pressure suit and anything above 50k a pressure suit helmet would be required which I doubt many people would offer. So perhaps 49k....classification extreme Just out of curiosity, how much $$ would anyone estimate 45k to be if able to take? HALO jumper offers up to 30k....perhaps you could talk to them about upwards of 40k and if they would allow it and have the equipment? http://www.halojumper.com/jumps_offered.html Sorry Format buddy, but we both need at least a D license to even begin to think about doing above 40k jumps For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp
  10. They've definitely got the skills and talent to pull sth like that off! Amazing control For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp
  11. I always use packing tools though.... For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp
  12. How about closing loops that last 300ish jumps or so!? For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp
  13. A friend of mine that has a Mirage has the same problem. Where to apply it and what type? For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp
  14. They got it, a while ago... I don't wanna pull mine out of its plastic bag to check the DOM... Need to hurry up and get my ticket and install the damn thing. Actually what I meant was that I was wondering if they are still pushing to get the max exit weight to be 300lbs from the 160 and above as they have previously advertised For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp
  15. Now is the DJ-SSA considered to be "French" hardware and the SP-888 named "Wichard" hardware? For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp
  16. When John LeBlanc said that it was a reason he wouldn't go into and that it was due to bureaucracies.....it's believed it was merely due to the new guy....(in achmed the dead terrorist voice) otherwise it would have most likely been at 300lb max exit weight Just wondering if they are still pushing for it to be TSO from the 160 and above For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp
  17. Anyone have any insight or info regarding if/or when the Optimum will go back to its original 300lb max exit weight from the 160 and up? For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp
  18. So apparently her goal is to jump off the Burj Dubai (tallest building in the world) and fly AROUND it in a wingsuit 2-3 times and then fly away and deploy!! Next goal for her is to jump from the same plane she jumps out of and get back in the same plane Sth like this except get back in it..!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnACScZA66g For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp
  19. Watch Conan O'Brien no( she will be on again tonight in a few! For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp
  20. \ The new wichard hardware that came on my vector 3 has exactly this feature. I will let you know after 1000 jumps if it wears the webbing out. I have a V3 and I got it because of the skyhook and because I feel it's one of the better researched and tested rigs out there. I also bought a Javelin because it was cheap and in reasonably good shape. -Michael Can you upload a pic? And When did you purchase your V3? I just bought mine brand new in March 2010 didn't see that as an option then...... For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp
  21. I has this type of fittings on all my rigs and never had a leg strap slip. Sparky http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/pp55/mjosparky/Quickejectsnap.jpg http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/pp55/mjosparky/Snapv-ring.jpg I was snapping my B-12's up the other day and someone said, ~that's a neat idea...when did they come out with those? Wow. ......yup, its just my skinny ass things being 20in in circumference Definitely would like to see these as an option on all rigs. For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp
  22. I have a Vector3 Micron and absolutely love it, but personally I'd like to have leg straps webbings that do not loosen or shift around when I walk to the plane or move about within the plane.....then again it just might be my skinny ass thighs lol I believe Paratec has something similar to this called the feather clip on their leg webbing straps?

  23. What kind of rig do you own and what kind of modifications/options or upgrades would you like to see from the manufacturer to implement? Let's see how innovative/creative you all are For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp
  24. If that is truly what you are aiming for try and demo a PD Pulse and see how you like it since it is one of the best gliding canopies out there. Its quite responsive in toggles with quick but very comfortable and predictable openings, not to mention that its easier to pack and packs a size smaller due to the different bottom skin material. It also has quite a powerful flare IMO. G'luck finding the canopy that is right for you!

  25. Any chance you could potentially have a mate pick it up for you and ship it over? Wouldn't that negate the VAT? For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp
