I was just asking someone the other day and he said the same thing and he already has a list of people wanting them.He did say it would be a better product than the pro-track and planned on getting one himself.

Congrats on winning the canopy for that price I imagine it could be pink and you would still take it though Later Don

Is it hard to get to sleep the night after 1st jump
DivinDon replied to zerojumps's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I did this also,but what was bad is I found myself doing it with no one else in the room. My wife thought I was laughing at the T.V. or the computer.What I like now is when I run into a whuffo I think about that first jump and refuse to tell them what it is like.I know they won't get it even if I did try to explain "how it feels" Later Don -
My hop-n-pop I went to 5,000'.I jumped out got stable and pulled.It was a lot more fun than I had expected.It is a very short ride to 5,000' and since I was about 4,000' under canopy I was able to do some canopy work that I needed to get signed off on my proggression card.I believe I have to do two of these before I can try for the A liscense.

Risk management, skydiving and driving...
DivinDon replied to fudd's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I have started driving safer and started wearing a seat belt.I just want to make sure I do everything in my power to keep me jumping. Later Don -
My aff1 I had this very thing happen to me.The JM wanted me to pull high since the spot was long,I seen the pull sign but took it that I was supposed to check the other JM ,a second had passed and it registered that I was supposed to pull instead it threw me off because I new we were not at lock-on altitude yet.I don't know if a different signal would change anything but like billvon said it has a tendency to make people look where you are pointing instead of pulling. wow I really need to check these post before I throw them up on the board sorry for the confusing mispelled post

Andy I am really new to this sport so don't rely on this advice but I was just talking to an instructor yesterday about this and she said they sell padding for the helmets so that you can change to your specific feel.Like I said I am new so do not take this as sound advice just as hearsay.

yeah baby i am on my own now just need to practice,practice,practice did my hop n pop from 5000' didn't even realize it was my graduation jump until I landed and they told me.I would like to thank all TM,JM,coaches you guys risk your life so that new people like me can get into this sport you guys are awesome if not for you guys I would not be on my way to an "A". Thanks guys it is a dangerous job just so someone else can have fun.YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!! Peace Out Don

thanks to all who replied.I did see on a web site that the portable that is coming is not supposed to be a typical portable they say its a more solid column of air but its still getting bugs worked out I don't think it has even had a flier in there yet.I will wait and see what it is like before spending any cash on it and when it does get there I will update this post and let all of you know how it is. Later Don

I had this problem which was self inflicted.The aff1 and 2 was this way I would look at it but not really register where I was.It took some practice and now I see what altitude I am at not the alti. itself if that makes any sence at all Later on Don
