This Weekend's GONNA ROCK!

[Casch 0]

So one of my friends at the DZ is letting me borrow his rig, he's got a Stiletto 190 in it. It's gonna be sooo kewl! A lot faster than the Skymaster 290's I've been flying. I'll be loading his Stiletto at 1.42, so I can finally get some kick ass swoopidge! Just one question, how high do I need to start my 180 front-riser landing? Any help would be great

[AggieDave 6]

Why only a 180? You get sooo much more speed from doing a 540! If that doesn't work, toggle hook it really really hard about 50 off the deck, that'll be really sweet...



(how long till someone doesn't catch it as a joke of recent threads?)

You really have 37 jumps???? And you want to do 180 riser turns??? REALLY?

[Casch 0]

I don't know about a 540, but I suppose I could manage a 360. So what, 60 feet? I really don't know what the best hight would be, I haven't tried front-riser approaches yet. I don't want to plane out too high cause I don't want to land out.

[AggieDave 6]

ding ding ding we have a winner.

[AggieDave 6]

Naw, with a 360 you need a little more altitude, I'd say 75 ft would be good...

hehe

Yeah, I haven't been able to jump much this year. I've only got 13-14 jumps this year. People say I should wait until at least 100 jumps before I get into front risered 180 landings, but I have pretty good canopy skills for my numbers.

The winds are supposed to pick up at the DZ tomorrow so I think I'll try one of those downwind landings, and I need to practice my rear-riser landings too. So what, fly downwind and at 75 feet, front-riser it to a downwind rear-riser landing? That way I can get all the stuff done in 1 jump

I just hope my instructors don't see me board the plane with my friends rig on, they told me last time I was there that I wasn't ready to jump his 190. They don't know how good I can fly when I really try.

I sure hope this is a "for fun" thread. If not, maybe Casch should borrow Hooknswoops VX 60 for the weekend and initiate his front riser carves at 300-400 feet AGL.

Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

[Casch 0]

So a wingloading of 4.5 wouldn't be too much? I mean, maybe when I have 100-200 jumps I can handle it.

[kevin922 0]

why do you even waste peoples time posting useless crap like this?

[Casch 0]

It's all in good fun, I thought it would be slightly entertaining for a short period of time...this IS the talkback forum, non-topical. At least I didn't post this in the swoop forum, general, or S/T or some other topical forum. I apologize if I wasted your time.

Blue Skies all and be safe this weekend, I'm soooo tired of hearing about people smaking in after perfectly good canopies. And I promise I won't jump that 190 for another 10 or 20 jumps

[kevin922 0]

'k. well there are a large amount of people on this board that are legitimately concerned about people downsizing too quickly, i lost a friend this year and have read nothing but numerous fatalities this year.. my friend was killed not due to an agressive downsizing but still, the fact of the matter is people care on this board so this post may not be hard to pick up "it's a joke" it's still a waste the joke has been done before

anyway.. no hard feelings have fun be safe my weather sucks this weekend so i'll be "studying"

[AggieDave 6]

I've lost friends and have had friends hurt very very badly too, but I still got a smirk out of his thread...*shrug*

That is pretty funny, Remincent of the good old "Nipplboy" posts on rec. about 7 years ago
Look at rec. for posts fromthe author nipplboy.
This is a short and sweet one:
My jumpmasters told me to take out my reserve and put in a 97 stiletto.
It has a small pack volume and is capable of high wing loading. I had a
bitch of time getting that canopy in there, but I feel much better now. I
don't use the reserve much anyway. I have over fifty jumps and only three
reserve rides. My jumpmasters say that is pretty good.

Here is his infamous first stab at being a JM

Wow,

Since I am nearing 100 jumps, my jumpmasters let me take a first time
static line student. Her name was Erin, and boy was she hot! My dropzone
has a quick questionnaire we give all first timers before they jump. I
wouldn't have wasted her time, but I wanted to stare at her while she
filled it out. I recommend this same questionnaire to all dropzones.

1) What is your name?
2) Have you made any previous skydives?
3) Have you had any hard alcohol or imported beers in the last 24 hours?
4) Are you sick?
5) Do you know what a ripcord is?
6) Are you scared to jump?
7) Do you think you will chicken out?
8) Have you ever played Russian roulette?
9) Describe any skydiving nightmares you may have had.
10) Who is your benefactor.

She filled it out and man was she beautiful. My jumpmasters said
since she knew what a ripcord was and probably wouldn't chicken out, she
didn't need much training. That was great because I wasn't totally sure
what to tell her anyway. I took her outside and showed her the airplane,
a Cesna 182. We had plenty of time because the pilot was still passed out
from partying with us the night before. I told her to do a somersault and
said "If you land hard, just do that." My drop zone has a special harness
that we can hang the students from to practice emergency procedures. I
didn't feel this was necessary, but we had lots of time and she was really
cute. I hung her up an showed her the standard peel-punch-pull technique.
To test her, I called both my jumpmasters over. At the same time, we all
started screaming "MALFUNCTION!!! YOU DUMB B-TCH!!! YOU ARE GOING TO
DIE!!! DO SOMETHING!!! YOU'RE GOING IN!!!" She didn't pull a single
handle and started to cry. I felt bad and took her out of the harness.
Then we just sat around until our lazy pilot woke up. I asked her stuff
about her boyfriend and where she went to highschool.
Finally our pilot was ready to go. I went and got her rig. I
dressed her in her jump suit, very slowly. My god was she awesome
looking. Then I put the rig on her. She noticed that there was a bunch
of her canopy sticking out from the flaps. I assured that was normal. I
had packed it myself. I couldn't find the bag with the helmets, radios,
and altimeters. My jumpmasters told me just to let her out around 1000 ft
so that stuff really wouldn't matter. On the way out to the airplane I
noticed a rope s-folded across the back of her rig. I had never seen
this. I was too embarrassed to ask what it was. We got in the airplane.
On our way to altitude, I figured out that the long rope was acting like a
ripcord. Now I was confident. The pilot had asked me what the winds
were. I remembered they were out of the east yesterday so we took that
jumprun. She was shaking really bad in the airplane, I guess very
scared. I had no idea how to calm her down so I just kept staring at her
chest. The pilot opened the door and I hooked the end of her rope to my
leg strap. I told her to get out and jump. I guess the rig was too heavy
for her because she didn't move. I lifted her up and pushed her out of
the door. The rope about pulled me out of the airplane with her, but I
held on. There has to be a better system for that. I packed her a real
slow comfortable opening. It opened beautifully. I pulled the rope into
the Cesna and I got out.
Everything went very smooth. My jumpmasters were very proud and I
was happy. This was a very rewarding experience and I do plan to get my
jumpmaster rating soon.

Safety First! Fun Forever!

I guess what really matters is that you replace your divot after your landing...

We'll see if any of the Farrington's will let you do that

I think you best come up and make a jump. I get that way too when I haven't jumped in 3 weeks. And I'm headed to Kapowsin in 1 hour.

Edit: I will show you infidel that there is no Stilletto 190

I think we will have a new Darwin Award Winner!

Congratulations!

Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

And clean the rig after you tumble.

[Casch 0]

You mean I'd have to clean the rig of my own bloody stains? Ok then I think I'll stay on my 290 for the sake of lazyness
