  1. I'm also making it a goal to do at least one coached jump for every 5 solo. Is this enough, or should i get coached more often when I'm starting out? (I've got just over 20 jumps)
  2. I find it hard to learn only 1 minute at a time. Any suggestions on ways to get the most out of that one minute? Is it better to focus on repeating one task to perfection, or mixing it up?
  3. this is why i was always so nervous about doing this, because at my level i would have RATHER trusted the packer's job than my own.. I tried to skip this during my gear check but got in shit for it.. So then I would always run into manifest on a 20 minute call and spend most of that time trying to get the PC perfect.
  4. During my AFF program i was taught to always re-pack the PC as part of the gear check. Problem is, i was shown about 3 different ways. It would be nice to see a step-by-step guide on the best way to pack it. From what i recall the most important things to remember is that the excess bridle is tucked in, and that its not wrapped around the handle! it would be nice to know of the perfect packing technique though, if there is one.
  5. I'd like to buy my own jumpsuit but I don't even know where to start. How is the fit going to affect my aerodynamics and what are some things to avoid when looking to buy a jumpsuit. Thanks.
  6. after 23 jumps, I can finally relax during a jump. I love this shit, and it has changed my life.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-P6hLyJ4as my name is Jason from Saskatoon, Canada and its a pleasure to meet you all :)
