Jesus Christ, people. I don't log on for a couple of days (About 2-3) and I find that I've missed about 3-4 thousand posts in the top three catagories, alone. Anywho, I went jumping today and did my first backflip... and my first RW jump. All went well, lots of fun. I now have 13 jumps to my credit. One of these days I'll have something interesting to post =P Good judgement comes from experience, and experience?- well, that comes from poor judgement.

Very cool. Sounds like an excellent jump. Do you have any pictures of the ecplise jump that you could post? Sad as it is, I've never actually seen an ecplise in real time. I always forget about it until after it's happened and then I hear everyone else talk about it =) Good judgement comes from experience, and experience?- well, that comes from poor judgement.

No kidding =) When they (My parents) first told me, I thought they were kidding. Good judgement comes from experience, and experience?- well, that comes from poor judgement.

Ouch! That really sucks the big one. Well, it could be worse. An angry girlfriend could cut off your dick in the middle of the night and throw it out the window of a moving car! Good judgement comes from experience, and experience?- well, that comes from poor judgement.

Of all of the three planes I've jumped from, I'd have to go with the ever-popular Twin Otter. I've also jumped from a Beach99 and a Cessna 182. Good judgement comes from experience, and experience?- well, that comes from poor judgement.

I jump at the Lodi, CA Parachute Center. One of these days, I'm gonna get my step-dad to fly me down to Perris (We're lucky enough to own our own airplane. A 1976 Mooney M20F) and we might meet there. If we ever do meet, I'd love to swap stories. I don't have any good ones of my own, yet, but I always love hearing others'. Good judgement comes from experience, and experience?- well, that comes from poor judgement.

I have to appologize =) If I don't, people view me as an asshole, appologizing is my way of saying I was wrong. I've still got a LOT more appologies to go =P Good judgement comes from experience, and experience?- well, that comes from poor judgement.

Yes, I've figured that out, by now. I posted a response about 2 or 3 below this that says this. I appologize again for my ignorance. Good judgement comes from experience, and experience?- well, that comes from poor judgement.

Preach on, Bill. Well said. Good judgement comes from experience, and experience?- well, that comes from poor judgement.

I'll remember that, thank you. Good judgement comes from experience, and experience?- well, that comes from poor judgement.

Everyone knows my newbiness. What I don't want to be is another one of the "men in black." What can I do so that I'm not one of them. I assume just do the proper tracking and always watch where I'm going and where other's are going? Good judgement comes from experience, and experience?- well, that comes from poor judgement.

Keep in mind, not only are you dealing with a skydiving newbie, you're dealing with a 16 year old skydiving newbie. Ignorance is a must on my part. I'd be failing my fellow teenagers if I didn't add some sort of ignorance to the fire. We teenagers are immortal, you know? Just look at how we drive. =) Good judgement comes from experience, and experience?- well, that comes from poor judgement.

Not to sound defensive, but I'm not trying to say I know everything or even most things. But when Jimbo says I'm in no position to give any sort of advice at all, it's a little offensive. I may be new, but I like to think my research has at least given the right give some sort of worthy advice, eh? Good judgement comes from experience, and experience?- well, that comes from poor judgement.

Point taken. Good judgement comes from experience, and experience?- well, that comes from poor judgement.

You said it well. I completely agree with you. Also, in case anyone starts getting frustrated with me, I appologize for my ignorance, just tell me to be quiet for a while and I'll take the hint =P. Good judgement comes from experience, and experience?- well, that comes from poor judgement.
