I call BULLSHIT!

I got a 32. but would certainly like to break into the 20s. I think it would be interesting to take this again halfway through the season and then again towards the end of the year....

my calendar in marked,

as for everyone that has not done altitude hop and pops i love going out and playing.  part of Brian Germain course is to go out and fly relitive with an other person.  this does not mean that you have to stack it up.... .  just to maybe touch end cells someone moves and fly base and the other person fly back to point.  i would say one person should have done it with an experienced jumper before trying it with just any one.  but as long as you take it slow and not attack with double front... ryan.  you can keep everything slow and predictable.  doing these things has made me more confident close to the ground and i would think will help your number go down.  instructor signing out

now who wants to do a 4 stack

geesh!  37     This was and is my goal of the year is to work on canopy control / skilz?  Swoop club here I come...

i will not be deterred by the wishes of the land owner. plus, it's not *really* my fault if i land off, i'm new to all this skydiving none-sense, and haven't yet developed adequate spotting skillz 

I have a round reserve packing table in my dad's basement, any of you riggers interested in it?  In 2 weeks I have a renter moving in so you would need to get it by then.

thanks!

Mark the calendar, I'm about to stand up for Ian (kinda)...

BASE and CRW canopies get a lower score on this quiz, even though they can have similar effects when handled improperly, per their particular situation. CRW air time (or, just flying relative to others in the sky) can be an incredible and valuable learning tool to understanding and being in control of your canopy dynamics, regardless of the canopy.

For new students:
Learning to pilot your body can be compared to first driving a vehicle. In the beginning you probably had to focus on one thing at a time, like acceleration and braking control. As that became second nature you were able to learn new skills. If you are still concerned about your pattern and hitting the dropzone you wont spend much time playing with types of turns, for fear of missing your final target. Being safe, comfortable and confident at your level is what is important. That means something different for everyone, and you can't always find the lesson you need in a book.   

Jump. Jump more. Jump often. Relax.

To Adam:
Dad said no swooping the pond. Now dad says, no swooping the pond. Way to ruin it for everybody.

Let me know when. I would like to set up lots of video. Get together lots of DSLRs to get that heat of the moment shots. Thanks Adam.

i cant count high enough to calculate my, so-called, "risk quotient". suffice it to say that i'm so ripping a hard-core downwinder over bob's pond for my recurrency jump.

What? People argue that i should be banned?, NNNNOOOOOOOOOO everyone loves me,  I am fun loving, whitty and always respectful of others. Right?
