Am short sighted. so need glasses to read my alti but have never had problems when judging flare points etc. A bigger alti is only going to cure symptoms, you need good close vision to see signals etc when in fs or ff. Try different size glasses so you can see both close and distance. Your optician should be able to help you the most. ADAM I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

UK people - naked jumping ITV tonight (thurs 10th), 11pm
gremlin replied to Newbie's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
better pray you get a good spot, huh?! good job they weren't jumping the yellow twin otter. There is a good chance they could have landed in France and they have NO sense of humour. I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine.... -
what about a couple of firecrackers. Every time you see the cat in the garden let off a firecracker. The cat wont like it and if the neighbour complains explain that it is her cat that is causing the problem. ADAM I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

i fractured T7 vertebra. Took a long time to heal. But the two biggest lessons it taught me were, 1. Do not rush the rehab, get all the physio you can and do what the dr tells you, rushing to get better will only slow you down when you over do it. 2. It is your body and you know what your limits are. Once your back is as good as it can be make sure you find out what those limits are. It is far too easy to sit back and moan but life is there if you want it enough. I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

I have a scanner and I am sure someone has a photo of you looking cute whilst you gurgle gently to yourself in your sleep. Then the world can see what you really look like. I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

Mars bar and banana toastie. You just need to thinly slice the mars bar and banana thinly then stick them between two pre buttered slices of thick bread into the toastie maker. Very sweet but tastes fantastic I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

It is a pity you don't have a scanner in your office, your photo may look more like you and less like something from Mars Attacks I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

Why do people leave their rigs in a communal area at the DZ? Why not take it home with you at the end of the day? Because these are people who check our rigs on the flightline, people who we drink with in the bar and the people who we lend altis, gloves etc. If you get out with someone in freefall you should be able to trust them implicitly. And if the person who sabotaged the rig is caught by skydivers before the police they will wish they hadn't been born. ADAM I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

Having been injured whilst skydiving and unable to attend a couple of Army exercises as a result my boss was entirely sympathetic as he realised that the advantages of skydiving, the friends, the skills etc outweigh the problems of injuries. Far more people are killed each year golfing but almost all the generals do that. And I ain't going to tell THEM to stop I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

Have jumped a couple of these recently for friends who do not like them. I normally jump a Spectre 150 which I love and thought a Sabre 2 150 wouldn't be too different. The turns are more radical and it lands great but the openings have seriously put me off. In different containers and packed differently they open like cr*p. It was a case of choose an angle between 90 and 360 and wait to see what happens. Not very impressed and have heard from other people that this seems to be fairly frequent.
