  1. Thanks... at first i was reluctant. im not usually into halloween but the girlfriend insisted. Once i started i knew just what to carve :) should have sent a pic in to parachutist... hmmm Some people say "The sky is the limit" .... those people must not skydive..
  2. Some people say "The sky is the limit" .... those people must not skydive..
  3. i just got my players... i just liked them a little smaller than the gaskets... either way a great pair of sunglasses. hope you like them i have not jumped with mine yet but the fit very nice once you form them... Some people say "The sky is the limit" .... those people must not skydive..
  4. yeah i would assume that gearbox gets pretty loud. are you working as a technician now? or have you? maybe i could pm you some questions... its hard to find techs to talk with Some people say "The sky is the limit" .... those people must not skydive..
  5. Hey everyone, im just wondering if there is anyone out there that is currently working or is pursuing a career in wind energy. I am attendng training and will begin to break into the market this summer. I have been very interested in this field and finally am making the move and going after it. I figure some people on here must be interested considering your daily office is at 300+ feet :) Some people say "The sky is the limit" .... those people must not skydive..
  6. i understand i can get used altimeters for 100 bones and then ihave to sell it later and get the one i really want.. i just figure if i am serious about this sport and plan on it for a lifetime i want to buy exact altimeter i want (altitrack) yeah its hella expensive but it will be worth it... i like the fact that it runs up to 18K feet also ;) Some people say "The sky is the limit" .... those people must not skydive..
  7. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBQQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.para-service.com%2F&ei=-v9yTe7VIoH_8AaGt_TQDw&usg=AFQjCNHoWHWlDFdOoxf8RP4d33yXu2maAA i actually was nearby and purchased my things in person but there website has the same prices. I did not get much just the things for my student progression. The benny helmet is a great starter helmet instead of wearing the DZ's it only about 60$ i did not get "gear" yet but it will be from them for sure best prices i have found anywhere. Saving up for my Altitrack! have fun man!!! Some people say "The sky is the limit" .... those people must not skydive..
  8. so jealous of you guys that have clear grass runways and are only waiting on wind and rain to give you the chance... my runway is frozen :( i would also like to point out rigs and things paraservice... i got all my stuff there to begin.. ( logbook , saftey knife, Benny helmet , etc.) they have what i have found to be the BEST price on nearly everything and i actually met the owners in thier home. customer service was great.... just my 2 cents.. have fun out there man Some people say "The sky is the limit" .... those people must not skydive..
  9. Im feeling your pain man!! or excitment rather. i got my ground school in and waited all day to just high winds didnt let that happen. finally a calm weekend the following let me jump and do my AFF1.. it went well. im surprised to hear your signed off for packing only packing twice and only jumping once? i thought it was a bit more extensive to get signed off on that. its nice to have a full understanding of the equiptment before your first jumps but i think actual packing should wait till off student status. maybe some people can chime in on when their packing class took place.. Blue Skies and think spring for us covered in snow!!! Some people say "The sky is the limit" .... those people must not skydive..
  10. are we talking about skydive sw florida ( in punta gorda) or sky dive fort myers (on pine island)? im jumping down there on vacation ( fort myers) getting a break from wisconsins shitty winters :) Some people say "The sky is the limit" .... those people must not skydive..
  11. Get my A... Find a lifelong sport... making new friends like family. move to forida and jump as many times as financially possible. and be patient yet persisitant in my progress. Some people say "The sky is the limit" .... those people must not skydive..
  12. haha nice boinky... watch out for those bedsores Some people say "The sky is the limit" .... those people must not skydive..
  13. i got a tandem skydive ticket in fort myers next month while im on vacation down there. what a treat for us students!! Some people say "The sky is the limit" .... those people must not skydive..
  14. wow again thanks a lot for all the info and criticism. i will be studying the handbook in my free time, and trying to keep my internet training to a minimum.. and thanks for being bored and taking the time to throw out some of those answers and info... and did i hear right that you have never used a throw out pilot chute? i thought that was the norm... Some people say "The sky is the limit" .... those people must not skydive..
  15. Thanks a lot for the constuctive criticism... i am trying to learn this sport the PROPER way. I have heard one of the hardest things to do is be patient which i am finding to be very true :) I am a person that needs to hear things several times before it sticks so it helps me to have the basic theroy and operation in the back of my head as an instructor is showing me things hands on. also i was a little concerned with how strict all DZ's for a packing/ rig check procedure.... maybe a smaller DZ has a slightly different way to pack item X versus a bigger DZ that has had more experience or a new technology...Again thank you all for your 2cents and i dont mind a little flack Merry Christmas... ( i got a free tandem jump for a present just now in Florida on vactation next month) Some people say "The sky is the limit" .... those people must not skydive..
