I am really bored and found a good deal on a case of Mickey's. Less than 30 min and I am already on #7. Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.

How much heavier is it? What if you have hard openings? How important is your neck? If you strike the tail of the plane, what about your back? These are all vital parts of living also.

Solos can be fun, but you do not have any visual reference on fall rate adjustment and to tell if you are backsliding. Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.

Congrats and welcome to the forums. You can jump with anyone with an instructor or coaches rating or someone that has a D license. Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.

Welcome to the forums and the sport. There is a ton of great info out there. Do you plan on doing AFF in the near future? Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.

Why? All you, a relatively new jumper (with all due respect) have provided, is a link to a place which presumably worked out for you. Are you qualified to rate this place as compared to the hundreds of other DZs out there? I'd think the OP would be best served by something other than a mere commercial. Yes I, "a relatively new jumper" posted a link as to where the OP "could" start. Did you even read the information provided in the link? Instead of blasting me, what was your purpose even responding to my post? You could have easily posted something useful for the OP, but did not. To the OP. He does all of his training out at Lodi, CA. If you will be out in this area, it may be worth checking out. There are also hundreds of other DZ's out there that have great training programs also.

Police Warning: Lock Your Doors BE SURE YOU LOCK YOUR DOORS AND WINDOWS AT HOME A Santa Barbara man was found dead in his home over the weekend. Detectives at the scene found the man face down in his bathtub. The tub had been filled with milk, sugar and cornflakes. A banana was sticking out of his butt Police suspect a cereal killer!

Free beer after sunset?? The sunset starts at 3pm right?? Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.

Why? Just the thought of being below 3k and my hard deck being 2k. One of those things I would always think about. But now that it happend and knowing how quick I was able to react, I feel like I was worried for nothing. Now I am just mad I dropped my handle Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.

How many times do u go through the dive flow before your jump? What exactly is that you are fearing? Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.

Try and do a jump with your instructors where it is just a relaxing jump with no dive plan. When they release you, just close your eyes for a few seconds or so. Use that time to relax, feel the air and what your body is doing in freefall. Everything will click soon and you will realize that you were overthinking this whole thing. Smile. And when you are smiling, you will relax. Once you are relaxed, give your instructor the finger to show him you are relaxed and having fun.

Ok....I will bring some PBR Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.

Yeah I found that out last week after a came through with a couple 24pk Corona. I guess I will have to start bringing 30pk Bud or Keystone Lt Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.

Thanks. I never really lived in fear of my first cutaway. I always wondered though, if and when it would happen. The one thing I did kinda fear was having a cutaway on a H&P. Turns out, thats exactly when it ended up happening. What are the odds Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.

Well I am definately looking forward to it. This will be my boogie. I hope I can make it out for the entire thing. Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.

Is there any info out there floating around besides the dates? Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.

Why didja do a tandem? Don't you have a bunch of jumps already? Should not have to ask that question His nekkid jump will probably be a reverse tandem Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.

Funny - I had the very same experience. Practiced one way - on jump 300ish - had a spinner that I chopped with one hand on each handle. Had never practiced it that way. I can't explain it. But now I practice it that way. Maybe its a comfort thing? I'll third that. Trained to look at cutaway, locate reserve handle, pull cutaway (two hands), pull reserve (two hands), and arch. My first cutaway found me with one hand on each handle and thinking right hand first. So I wonder why, despite all of the training and practice of EP's, we chose to go one hand per handle?

Yes it most definately was Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.

I had to pick boobies. That seemed to be the only viable option to survive this ordeal Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.

The best way to answer your question is no, I dont really have an explanation. Each hand just went to a handle automatically and I pulled. I have been trying to figure out why I chose to go one hand per handle instead of 2 hands per handle since it happend. I have always been able to think of how I might react in an emergency situation. But now that I have been in one, it has really helped build up my confidence for if and when another situation may pop up. It definately was a learning experience.

So yesterday during a canopy control course I was attending, I had my first cutaway. Here is what happend: -Second jump of the day. Was doing a H&P from 3k out of a twin otter. Exited stable and had approximately a 3-4 sec delay. Right as I pulled, I immediately knew something felt wrong. I see my canopy come over my head and see nothing but line twist and my canopy struggling to open. So as I reach up for my risers to get ready and kick out of the line twist, my canopy fully opens, I get flipped over on to my back and start spinning to the left. As soon as I went to my back, I knew it had to go. IIRC, I chopped at 2200ft and was under reserve at about 1800ft. I had an uneventful reserve landing in to a huge puddle of water in the landing area. So, all of my training was, 2 hands cutaway, look at reserve handle, pull cutaway, 2 hands on reserve, pull reserve handle. Whenever I go over EP's on the ground and on the plane, thats exactly what I do and have been doing that since day one. When it was time to cutaway, I automatically went to one hand on each handle and initiated my EP's. I had both handles in my hands while the reserve was still in deployment but accidentally dropped my cutaway handle. It felt like both handles came out smooth as butter. This was jump #80 for me. I found my main and my freebag, but no handle. My rig is equipped with an RSL and I was jumping a Sabre2 210. I did no more jumps for the day (did not want to pay for a rental) and just hung out at the DZ for the rest of the day. My beer dues were paid, but still owe my rigger for the save. Just wanted to share with you all. Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.

Now if you were going to be in the San Francisco area, I could hook it up with a ride to a DZ.

Sounds like a good time. There are plenty of good bars to drink at in Denver. Go check out the Tilted Kilt while you are there. Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.
