pretty much works for me, I mean where ever I'm at at 1000 ft I can look any direction (right /left) and it's in that vicinity. The trick is getting there, somtimes i play around to much with my canopy. flying around in brakes and trying new things, I can't get into with you now, but sometimes if you don't pay attention, you just won't land there.
-
o.k. #1 Ask your coachs first. It took me a bit too, but get there.. where ever you are at 1000 ft thats pretty much where your gonna land, depending on your pattern. I'm a low # jmpr but I get within 10 yards of my target. (The neighbors yard the guy next door to him and the guy down the street) stick to the basics, pull flare lft,rt S-turns, later comes frnt riser rear risers. watch your approaches it will come to you. Keep your head on a swivel, and relax. Your starting to freak me out now

plowdirt replied to lisamariewillbe's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
yea normal for me, i wouldn't do it, They bumped it up a couple of notches till I was comfortable. They were like look no matter what count to three and pull. at the door dear in the head lights C-yaaaaaa.(here comes the why part)I wasn't the stablest knife in the drawer sky earth sky earth sky earth puuuuullllllllll. Once again I laughed, under canopy. Tried some rear riser turns yea right more like rear riser pull ups. got on the ground to the smerk of my coachs face, chuckled and said whats next. don't sweat it, breathe and once again smile. Good luck kid and have fun -
Ahh nice, but I have a vision, O.K. we're gonna do this and your gonna do that. And what I see is some what of a frenzy, me in the middle of team Airspeed and their all over like molecules racing around an atom. And when I get on the ground I'll look like this
-

Dude, WTF, Can you say I'm gonna visit your parents. You know it won't be long before those lil angels will get in some trouble and I'm sure will have to face you. For sure some kids in the neighborhood you know, you prolly hold them in high regard. I'm glad to here your O.K. "I wear my scars and my bruise like you wear your tattoos" There is a story behind everyone of them. Heal quickly and peacefully. ED

It didn't say at the DZ but it said free camping. -
all these posts are fine and dandy, but who are you trying to kid. This chick is sitting around prolly getting guys to take her out left and right, and she's thinking the same thing. how am I gonna dump this freak. Be realistic 18 months of DATING how many other people were both of you dating. think about it. who's got the power these days, trust me she's using it. You end it like this: We never had a commited relationship, I mean we were just dating, right. And were so far away now ,I think it's time to move onn. We should date other people. ofcourse we'll remain friends. listen I gotta go my dates here to pick me up bubye.(jk)

wouldn't know if this was posted but, I 1) would fire him, just for good measure. and listen to where he's going to be next. 2) Call one of your DZ buddies who may possibly own a big DZ who may be able to help a brother out. 3) start working on that pilots license. good luck man

bring me a T from your dz and I'll treat ya to a jump. This offer is only for the Z-man, unless you can belly dance, Buddy you may have started a one night party OH MY GAHWD. The T-shirt swap under the big tent. $5.00 cover all proceeds go to previously/future injured by MIA golf carts, and it would be ladies night. so ladies drink free, I'm sure we can all cover the beer. this may need a separate thread. Your a genius. E duh it is it's separate thread

You'll be fine, a tandem rig is different then a sport rig. You will be flying something more compatable to your size, and so on and so forth. relax,have fun ,and don't forget to smile. I would say this: anything you read, or research on this sight, must be discussed first with your coaches. after the 25 or so jumps and you get the "A" whatever you read research on this sight should be taken with a grain of salt. Don't forget the tequilla. Bluskies soft landings and welcome to the party

Thats just great, a cop asking a base jumper about his mental stability, hahahahahahahaa. like their job isn't more risky. well guess what now those two know who you are what you drive, and fifty of their cop buddies in four counties know too. fkn crack heads. walk by the space kadet next time, they're not worth waisting your breath on. Be very relaxed, don't say bomb,kill,shoot. And the first rule of skydiving smile. good luck.
-
so there it was. I don't want to offend anyone but what good was that. I felt that it was more of a negative segment on base then positive. and you park people are idiots, whats the big deal?? But that for sure will keep most people thinking twice. Jan Davis my hats off to a beautiful brave woman who lived like so many want too. It's on tape if anyone wants a copy. E

Simple Canopy Control Advice Needed
plowdirt replied to JayCam's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
Hey Jay,i weigh about 220 stoned they flew me in a 340 and then down and down. I fly a nice forgiving safire229 now still get spanked, but practice up high get use to that flare, and guess what just when you got it BAM your ready to down size again. practicing up high helped alot, and comming in at qtr or half brakes helped out aton also, talk to your coach and have them talk you through a couple more landings. good luck and the spandex shorts with pads are a great investment. have fun man and don't get hurt WFFC is right around the corner.

you should really stop listening to that crap it'll rot your brain.

After posting for a year and recovering from knee surgery, I finally got another good job. Back to running crews, and dooing what I do best. I must say you kept me smiling and laughing, and I did get spanked a few times by our lovely mods. I'll be on from time to time, to see what the topics of the day are, or were. GFD, Ccow, ROCKY, and all you other freaks, i'll miss the day to day antics. Be good ED.

As I said " Big balls and a mentor" I would not go that route. and who would sell someone that rig???? NO EXP????? Isn't it like saying, hey kid where'd you you get that gun? oh here take the safety off, There you go. Nice job. see you later. you ain't right, but I guess you ain't wrong either. Question: hand held PC, Exit, I seen pitched like a lob over head, I seen flung like a vollyball, To avoid burble hesitation I would suppose to pitch hard away from the body. what does anyone do, your prefrence and why.

Ahh something new Thank you Tom. your a gentleman and an esquire. Ed

home work??? a year and a half ago. i look to this forum for alot of info constantly, yea sometimes it's hard to even understand what your talking about, obviously the this 's and thats are for the better out come, but hardly ever why, why different pc's (as in condition location height of object) slider up slider down, yes i would figure opening speed. But don't kid yourself you do have some info but alot has to do with big balls, and a mentor. lets see where, where is that info compiled, I think it's locked in the heads of the people who are... and some are so reluctant to share, Hell they won't even ask you to come out and watch. Knowing all to well you will share a roof top slot in the future. You should have a thread where all you guru's talk about the do's and dont's (and don't bicker) and the big ??? WHY. See you on the edge....
