This DZ is extremely newbie friendly, coaches teach patiently and never make students feel like morons. Other jumpers very friendly, layed back atmosphere.

Spaceland Anomoly Wins Freefly Open!!
linc_harris replied to jumperconway's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
You Texans sure know how to fly. Note: Guano wasn't far behind. What happened to Alchemy this year? -
It's one great place to learn how to skydive and to have a good time. The staff puts safety before everything else, and the regulars make sure that you have a great time. For experienced jumpers driving through... just stop by and you can get on the next load.

Are Gas Prices Affecting Your Jumping Activities?
linc_harris replied to linc_harris's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I know the California gas stations are using Katrina as an excuse to raise prices. I don't even think Cal gets it's oil from the Gulf states, so where is the shortage that these gas station owners are talking about? -
It's good to hear that I haven't been totally forgotten. If I'm not busy doing the military thing next year, I'll try my best to make it out there. I might even see if I can't get a hold of one those Army tents for ya again. I seem to remember getting some complaints from the guys who put that up (2003); Civilians

Hey Kevin GN's? Been too busy lately (The Army has me traveling quite a bit). I'm going to try again next Sept ('06). Lodi: Yes, the rumors are true, that's where I'm jumping now. Living about 20min's from there has been convenient. Have fun this year (Boogie). If I'm not at Ft Bragg (GN Knights Tryouts) next year, or playing Army, I'll try my best to make it out next year.

Now Bonnie, your not mad at me, are you?

Ouch

NOPE, Missing it for the 2nd year in a row. I'll be in Europe that time frame.
-
And I thought CA (Sacramento area) was bad. OOPS, I better shut-up, that probably jinxed it.

Jumping, White Water Rafting, and most important of all, giving blood (Hurricane Katrina).

Are Gas Prices Affecting Your Jumping Activities?

Holy &*#@. I just saw a one station jump $1.00 in an hour. CNN: Experts: $4 a gallon gas coming soon. Consumers haven't seen the worst of it yet. It's time to get that Hybrid. -
Couldn't have said it better myself chopchop. The Pilot has it all.

Is it just me, or is the beer thing getting old?

What size and type of canopy should be my next one?
linc_harris replied to Newbie's topic in Safety and Training
My 2 cents: Land it 100 times, consecutively, on your feet (wind or no wind), without injury, and on target (within the main landing area). If you can at least accomplish that, then I would consider downsizing. -
I can do mine in about 6-8 minutes. However, one time I did it in about about 5min and was BSing with someone; I ended up with a neck-braker.
-
I made the mistake of downsizing too early, even though I wasn't that good at landing. I finally learned how to land it after 2 months of demolition derby (bumps and bruises). Loosing weight (wingloading) helped as well. From here on out I will be using the Downsize Checklist (an article by Bill von Novak-Dec 13 2003) and some advise an AFF instructor gave me a while back: "If you can't land on your feet (under the same canopy) at least 100 times (consecutively) in a row, you have no buisness downsizing." There's my 2 cents.

Nope. Removed it after 500 Jumps
