bseriesboosted 0 #53 June 28, 2005 QuoteI am not seeing this as a good thing...You have not been jumpin long enough to understand what a canopy can and cannot do...Upsize...A Nitro is btwn a Sabre and a Stilleto, stable but like any canopy it can get you into some trouble....Take your time with downsizing...It hurts to hit the ground trust me I speak from experience!!! I don't want to sound like every one who downsizes to fast and argue with you about me being able to handle this canopy or not... so i am not going to do that.... but do keep in mind i have been on a 135 for about 70 jumps and have gotten and still getting alot of good information and coaching from very experienced instructors that also fly high performance canopies. and i am also flying this canopy very conservitive and plan to for a long time...Pruitt Skydive The Farm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #54 June 28, 2005 Quoteit's 'what to do for a 100th' not 'bug the jumper about personal decisions'- most people are adults here and can make calls for themselves. Get more jumps and experience and active time in the sport (not just the time from your first jump, but time on a DZ day in and day out) and I bet your opinion changes. Infact, I bet after you see a friend who made their own adult choice bounce 3ft in the air and do a handful of flips then land in a crumpled heap of broken femurs, pelvis, vertibre, tibs and fibs with life hanging by a thread and you get to hold his/her hand while you're waiting for LifeFlite and you're praying very hard that they'll live, your opinion will probably change.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

fireflytx 0 #55 June 28, 2005 I went naked on my 119th jump because I had to wait until there was an opportunity with no tandems around"Well behaved women rarely make history" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skychick312 0 #56 June 28, 2005 PLEASE please please be careful I do not want to see anymore of my fellow jumpers get hurt bc they are being conservative under a canopy to aggressive for them... It is not the normal landings that I am worried about it is the off landings or the misjudgements that get you hurt.... Be careful ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Be the change you wish to see in the world! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
