HI dave,
A style 'set' is:
1. A 360 turn to the left or right
2. A 360 turn in the opposite direction
3. A back loop
4. A 360 turn to the left or right
5. A 360 turn in the opposite direction
6. A back loop

OH- is that what it means...
I thought Accuracy was getting on the right plane and Style... well that's just how I walk to the plane .

JW

That joke is as old as style & accuracy itself.

Your debating and logic skills are surely without equal. I'm duly impressed.

Impressing you is not a difficult thing to do.

I can say if Johnny "mad skillz" Swooper takes me out on the ground or nearly so in the air, he will be beaten once I've dusted myself off!

was that directed at me or just a generic "johnny" swooper

No. Just a generic "johnny swooper".

Hell I'll probably do some swooping of my own once I'm current again. But you can bet it won't be in a high traffic area.

ACT OF WAR!




Okay, maybe we don't go to war with Mexico. But that sack 'o' garbage in the White House needs to do something radical about this situation, RIGHT NOW.

I wonder why that pussy from Texas didn't do anything about this as it grew worse and worse in the last 10 years

?? If US border patrol shot at a Mexican illegal immigrant, would you consider that an act of war?

>But that sack 'o' garbage in the White House needs to do something
>radical about this situation, RIGHT NOW.

Well, he just sent National Guard troops to the border. I suppose other options would be to make leaving the US without authorization a federal crime, or invading Mexico.

Yeah. UNARMED National Guard troops.
Now of he posted a dozen armed patrol boats on Falcon with .50 cal machine guns on their bow I might believe he's actually done something.

I've only recently become excited enough about skydiving to come back to the sport after a 20 year lay-off. The politics did SUCK! And there will always be dumb shit skygods.

Anyway, don't be in a hurry to sell your gear. Tuck it way someplace safe. After a few years, you may want to come back.

I was wondering who has the most affordable jump tickets here in Texas and what altitude you get for your money?

Thx

You could send an email to the Golden Knights as well. They could probably tell you everything you wanted to know and some things you didn't, about jumping smoke.

LMAO!!

Can they stink up the NFL even more than they already are?

They play Atlanta next week so the answer is probably yes.

Time to find a new coach maybe.

Folks, I guarantee you haven't been cold on the ride to altitude until you've sat in the rear seat closest to either open door in a UH-60 BlackHawk or UH-1H Huey in winter. You get the drop in temp PLUS the relative wind and resulting wind chill directly in your face and if fact whole body. THAT is MOTHER FREAKIN' COLD!!! You can dress like the Michellin Man and still get chilled to the bone.

30%

Sounds like few even know what a wind drift indicator is. Does any dz even throw them anymore?
We used to throw 'em before jumping every day!

Once I opened up after a H/P and it was snowing. That was KEWL!

I don't think it was so much over your head as it didn't make any sense.

That's what my algebra instructor said.

OK, that's WAY over my head. But thanks!
I'll take the equations & graph to my instructor for clarification.

I have one!! Naa naa, na naaaa naa!

The one with Roger Nelson on the phone at the beggining, planning the boogie? I think it also has "Air Bears" and "Ride a Cloud" on the same tape. It Came in a Red Plastic Case.

PM me....

I used to have that. USED TO.

Along with video of my final 30 sec delay and my first 3 stadium jumps.

If USPA wants to give "coach" ratings to guys with 100 jumps, I guess that's fine... I guess.

I got a static line JM rating at 100 jumps in 1990. 100 jump wonders have been working with students for longer than you or I have been jumping. The only difference is that today many of those 100 jumps wonders fly a hell of a lot better than we did when we had 100 jumps.

Quote

For the 70 jump wonder turning 10 points... congrats! And no offense but if somebody told me that on the dz, I'd tell 'em to show me the video or stfu. Again, nothing personal. It's just extremely difficult to believe.

Believe The jump in question is #6.

That's pretty impressive. I jumped with guys in the late 80's with 500 jumps who didn't fly that well.

Overwhelmed

First semester back at school in 20 years.

I also think it would be reasonable to require 200 for coaching as well.

I'd say make it 2000 and drop the requirement for non-license holders to jump with an I or coach.
