bwnco 0 #1 September 13, 2006 HI, in lieu of sounding stupid. Is there anywhere out there one can find out exactly how a chute is suppose to deploy, the whole mechanics etc. Im a beginner and am curious as hell as how the whole thing exactly works. I keep reading about the differences between base outfits and regular but I dont know enough about the mechanics to make sense. Any help would be apprecitated, thanks alot.......BW"Anything I've ever done that ultimately was worthwhile initially scared me to death." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bwnco 0 #7 September 13, 2006 Cloggy, I appreciate the link and the help. For the record my profile is filled out, new at the sport and allthough I do know alot about it, im trying to find out every little thing I can. I always find it amusing how the smartasses in a sport are usually the ones that arent worth a crap even after doing it for years and have to throw down on any newcomers , to get there ego up, beings they have such small peckers and brains......... Thanks alot for the help, ever want to ride bulls, rock climb, scuba dive, or any info on rocky mtn west give me a holler.......... Thanks Again..."Anything I've ever done that ultimately was worthwhile initially scared me to death." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stimpy4242 0 #9 September 13, 2006 Plus what a surefire way of getting everyone to be pissed at a newcomer. I am new and i wouldn't dare try to throw such negativity toward the people who are going to help me in the future. Sure sets you up for being an ass. Also to end it with your list of woohoo sports as if you are something was pretty obvious and I am sure the people who are skydiving probably are extreme sports people already...just a word of advice from one newbie to another.Jump at The Skydivin' Place http://www.skydivepa-md.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like your new nemisses is a little thin skinned and has a "little ego problem". I sure hope he survives DZ politics by fire!!!

Without knowing my pecker size and brain size compared to yours, I see in your profile you are from Colorado... Denver area by chance? If so, Private Message (PM) me via this site... I teach/jump at Mile High Skydiving a lot... If you come up to the DZ, I will show you step by step how a parachute works on deployment and flight... I will also show you how it gets packed, and how all the gear works. I have a lot of video of what it looks like from my camera helmet too, we can slow mo it and you can see it really happen. If that peaks your interest, you can then do a tandem jump with my friends, who again, may have small peckers but are great guys. After that, we have a first jump course every weekend for AFF level 1. Again, PM me and we can meet at the DZ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It also occurs to me that if this is "throwing down" on someone, bwnco is not gonna like these forums much! DGIT is a throwdown... but if you get it you probably deserve it, right? Anyway, is there any FJC that doesn't show you how the deployment sequence works?Skydiving: wasting fossil fuels just for fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking at what's there, I would guess Bob W is a non commisioned officer (Sgt perhaps) possibly at the Airforce acadamy. Just a guess though. Mick.
