  3. So I had a big trip planned this weekend to Deland, ZHills and Sebastian. It appears that the big storm traveling across the Midwest is ending up there this weekend and I cancelled my trip. I'm heading up to Denver instead to and will be visiting MileHigh for 3 days straight. I've done a few searches but can't find much on this dz. I've read some of the reviews under the dropzone section but most are outdated (mostly bad). What's the vibe at this dz for funjumpers? Any regulars on dz.com? Any feedback would be appreciated.
  4. I'm not gonna post on your skydiving question,........ I'm too new to give advise but as a father of 19 and 23 year old sons I would be ashamed, disappointed and flat out pissed off if either one of my kids disrespected people like you have. The way I see it is your a punk with entitlement issues. Rant over

  6. I pretty much read dz.com for entertainment. Any questions I have I ask the experienced people at my dz. Its kinda entertaining watching the oldtimers on here have pissing contest when someone disagrees with them. Most of them have the "its my way or the highway " mentality. I agree that Dave is one of the people that has a lot of knowledge but it doesn't always come across as educational. I feel that most of the oldies, pops, chuck ect has forgotten what's its like to be a "noob " and have the excitement that goes along with it. But then again look at my jump numbers..... what do I know
  7. Last year they had a biplane running. Sounds like a great way to make a skydive
  8. I believe you need to download a kindle PDF reader, Ive read the sim on my wife's kindle. the android app is already available also i have it on my Phone
  9. I took 4 months off right after getting my A due to a shoulder surgery, I was so friggin nervous on the ride to altitude but as soon as i left the plane it was like i did it yesterday. Dont worry you will be fine
  10. Im 47 and my mom and dad support it because they know it makes me happy, My wife bought me my first tandem a year ago and was ok with the cash spent on getting license and gear. She also supports me and lets me jump whenever i want, but she will not go to the to the dropzone.

  12. I decided to go with the left handed boc. I have much better mobility on that side. Im looking forward to not worrying at pull time
  13. I have thought about switching to left side but ive had the same surgery on it in Jan. The left side was arthroscopic and the right was a full cut done in 1992 so thats why im looking into a rig modification
  14. Yeah I know that's an option but if it was a couple inches lower on my back then i think it would help. I jump out of Eloy and Rigging innovations is onsite so im gonna talk to them and see whats possible
  15. I had that shoulder fixed in January
  16. I have a question for the riggers, I have a Mirage M6 and it fits real good and is very comfortable. I have a history of shoulder issues, 20 years ago i had surgery on my right one which has diminished range of motion slightly. I have trouble with grabbing the hackey, obviously i have grabbed it 111 times but it don't always come easy. My question is Can a rigger modify the rig lowering the container on my back or would it have to go to Mirage. I just Downsized from a M8 to a m6 so it seems a little more prevalent now. Ill call Mirage after the holidays but figure i would ask the Riggers on DZ.com also. Thanks in advance
  17. I have a Mirage G4 M8 Date of Mfg Nov 2005 with about 150 jumps on it. The Rig is in Perfect condition.It seems to have all the options, RSL, hook knife, padded leg straps and is aad ready. It has a PD 253 in it with zero rides and will hold a 230 to 260 main. I am 6'2" and weigh about 215 and it has room to go up or down in size. Can some of you guys that have been doing this for many years give me some idea what this rig is worth. Ive attached some pics to look at. I will be at my local DZ this weekend and will talk to the rigger and get his opinions, but figured i would ask here also, Thanks in advance for your Help
