Alrighty then, an HD lens it will be. Thanks ya'all.

I was just looking for some opinions between the two lenses the Diamond 0.3x vs. Liquid 3.

I've got the Cx110 on a Tonfly 2x and I like the low-profile the two lenses provide.

I'm a total newb (14 jumps) and got a couple in at Lodi last week, for the most part it was a great experience except I was literally yelled at as I was trying to spot the LZ before exiting, "the lights green! Fucking go!" are the exact words and nobody offered to help spot even after asking. Fun dropzone nonetheless, just a little stressful for a new guy.

That's rad!

Please move thread to safety/training

I know it's in the sims, a recommended canopy progression but I couldn't find it, derrr.
Here's my question, I'm hopefully one jump away from
completing the AFF program. I started on a 265, and my 6 was on a 235. Should I expect to fly a 235 for those first 100 or so? I'm asking because I'm wondering if buying a used rig would pan out to be about the same cost wise? And when ready to downsize how well do canopies hold their value?
I don't like the idea of renting at unfamiliar dropzones, call it 'gear fear' or whatever, I just think owning your own equipment relieves some anxiety, not to mention I would like to be packing my own main, not because I don't trust their staff , I just want to know and understand this piece of fabric that is saving my life completely.
Thanks

22 in two days....wow. Did you do your aff on Friday and by Sunday taking your "a", man that just sounds balls out to me.

So the alarm goes off when you go back in time too ... cool

*** a time traveltimeter? That rules , I might have to get two of those :)

Rock n' roll \m/,

"you don't" that's exactly what I thought when I read the thread title.
Nothing worse than someone nagging you- clean your room! You drink too much! Your a pansy dude you can't even do a backflip over an 80ft gap on your bigwheel.
They'll be ready when they want to, probably around there 30-35th birthdays, hahahhaaha

Other people at the DZ seem to get friends to jump.....how do you do it?

you make new friends at the drop zones

You're right, I shouldn't opt out any product w/o proper research. I guess I am looking for something a lil more budget friendly that performs the same functions, comfortable in a bucket and I also realize that this is an expensive/highly addictive sport and that I can say goodbye to all my expendable income

Any suggestions or preferences out there? I want a helmet mount for my bonehead bucket. Something that logs everything and not the L&B protrack. Thanks ya'all

The anticipation is overwhelming now, just wait for the plane ride up :) youre gonna have so much fun, enjoy every moment!

Oh yeah, BTW I went straight to AFF after a tandem and haven't been
in the tunnel yet

I'm going in for my AFF3 class, but first I'm gonna go do
5 min in the tunnel on monday and prolly drop on Thursday. I'm just doing it so I can practice a little belly stability along with some
other manuevers. My plan is to go in with a particular dive flow. Every 10sec once there is a minute left in the tunnel flight I am going to practice executing certain tasks, L360, R360, stable, practice pull (I know I won't be wearing a rig but just the movement) F-loop, B-loop, and at 5 sec left wave off. I'm a total newb, obviously, but at least for me if I feel that if you go in with a dive flow in mind you'll also be training yourself to think and execute during your FF. In reality though, once I get certified- not licensed - I would much rather spend the 80 for the real deal. But however you decide to approach it you are gonna love the rush once you make your first jumps, have fun with your new adventures!

Thanks for the welcome, AFF training starts a week from Thursday, can't frigging wait!

Howdy, just turned 35 and got my first jump(tandem) in. I will be stArting my training for the FFC next week. This sport rocks! At least that's how I fall! Hope to meet some of you in the sky.
