If you can get a canopy into a D-bag you can get an audible into a G3. Just keep kicking it till its in.

How did everyone get into skydiving?
Trafficdiver replied to jnjusticar's topic in Introductions and Greets
I had no intentions of ever skydiving. I got laid off and was working nights at a bar to make ends meet. The manager there, who i thought was an arrogant asshole when I first met him, asked me if I wanted to go on his annual skydiving adventure. I figured if this guy could do it so could I. I ended up loving it and the rest is history. Oh yeah the manger is now one of the friends I respect most on this planet. Funny how things change if you open yourself up and allow it. -
Excellent man. Every jump gets better and better. Good luck on your journey. Oh and straighten your dad the fuck out...its bounce, not splat.
-
I had to tell my brain to shut the fuck up I need to jump. Then I jumped. Don't think, just act. I also had the song Dyers Eve by Metallica playing in my head on the ride to altitude. That helped.

You're about to embark on a really, really , really awesome journey. Take the time to savor each jump. Rush though nothing, enjoy everything you can.

Skydiving over the Pyramids in Egypt by Juan Mayer
Trafficdiver replied to Melon33's topic in Photography and Video
Beautiful footage! -
As God as my judge, I thought turkeys could tunnel fly.

I think 4 minutes coached can make a difference in your ability to perform in AFF. You will be a bit more comfortable in freefall and hopefully will fall stable once they let go of you on your c jump. 15 minutes is great but 4 minutes is better than none.
-
I've never been able to think about daily BS in freefall. Even the times I worried that I would...they still disappeared at the door.
-
Its an invaluable tool for freeflying and it's fun and challenging. I love wasting money on it.
-
You should harness that power...and jerk off right after landing.

Yes. http://www.skydivekingair.com I jumped it in May and it's a beast. 7 minutes to 14.5 K. does he still " help " everyone up off the floor with a little zero g at exit exit exit! Yes and I didn't know it was coming so I started whooping and yelling as I floated up.

Gojump DZ in Oceanside CA Vermont Skydive Adventures in Addison VT Contadora in Panama is pretty awesome too, but you probably wouldn't want to live there.
-
Awesome man! It's nice being passed AFF with all those instructors holding on to you. Done your HnP's yet? Have you been in the new tunnel out there?
-
Condoms. Other than that everything is fine used.

40 shades of green! I really want to get over and jump at the Irish Parachute club some day. I bet it's a blast. Good luck on your journey. Every jump is excellent!
-
Yeah, when it finally clicks it's awesome! Sometimes I'll go home and want to high five my walls cause there's no one else to high five. As for doing the tunnel for an hour before AFF I say go for it! I did 15 minutes during my C1 jump and it made me so much better. An hour would have been even better. Unless it's going to financially hurt your then there is very little downside..other than getting hooked.

My advice. Fly to Tampa. Either rent a car or use your family members to drive you to the Wal Mart in Zephyrhills. Buy a $30 tent and a $20 sleeping bag, and toiletries if you care about hygiene. Drive to Skydive city. Tell family member to fuck off. Set up tent and drop the money for your FJC and first AFF jump ( or pay for all of your 8 AFF jumps in advance). Then relax and go with the flow. All of your answers and wildest fantasies will manifest themselves in the next few days. The crew down in Z Hills right now is awesome and you can thank me for the advice later.

First Cutaway with only a little over 100 jumps
Trafficdiver replied to Nicknero1405's topic in Safety and Training
Good attitude. I'm sure you will perform your your EP's at your hard deck next time. I would have a good rigger inspect your canopy...and if it happens again burn it and bury the fucker. -
Knee pads for tunnel flying
Trafficdiver replied to skydajka's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I don't wear knee pads or elbow pads...but sometimes I really wish I had elbow pads on. -
