mattmais 0 #1 September 27, 2005 I figured I should introduce myself. Getting ready to get on another aircraft soon (this weekend or next)! Its been 10 yrs without an air fix. Gonna be interesting adjusting fall rates. Went from a 150# feather to a 212# bowling ball. mm Katy, TX Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattmais 0 #6 September 28, 2005 I quit because of several reasons. Career, needed more than a packing job, was overseas working for a couple of years, get married, had kids, just grew away from being at the DZ. I could go on but dont want to bore anyone.

mattmais 0 #7 September 28, 2005 Yes i'm going to be jumping my old Vector II with a big/slugish main and Raven II. I've been reading about lots of people hurt/killed on fast/small ZP canopies. Therefore, i'm using something bigger than most would use. Anyway...more interested in the skydive than the parachute ride...at least for now.

skymama 37 #9 September 28, 2005 I was just saying that since you've gained 62 pounds that I was hoping you are going to use a larger canopy! Good to hear you are thinking that too!She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
