    We do DSS since as mentioned before it's less mental work for the front peice and if you normally jump DSS I suggest that it's better to stick to it. Who solos? Front piece in our case. and we exit in b slots so that the first run in a slots allows you to gain speed in the jump. ________________________________________ Life is a series of wonderful opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.
  3. Can't think really of any bad 4-way experiences so far, but the best ones are 1) jumping with my team and learning, learning, learning every time - I jump with people that are way better than me and have more extensive experience in the sport and 2) doing 4-way with Arizona Airspeed in the tunnel and in skydive. Amazing stuff!
  4. I don't know about the opening date but there is quite a lot that needs to be done still inside ________________________________________ Life is a series of wonderful opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.
  5. We've been flying there for some time already although it is not officially open yet. Great tunnel! ________________________________________ Life is a series of wonderful opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.
  6. We've seen very cool tunnel flying from Airspeed! Good job, guys!
  7. ok, sorry for my English, let's call them canopy pilots or parachutists (which in my opinion doesn't really describe flying under a canopy). ________________________________________ Life is a series of wonderful opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.
  8. Who would you consider to be an experienced (advanced) pilot? What do you think is the difference between intermediate and advance pilot - # of jumps, canopy flying skills (what are they?), canopy size? In other words where is the border line between the two? ________________________________________ Life is a series of wonderful opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.
  9. SkyVentureAZ is one of the best indoor skydiving facilities. Quality of the air is good but may also depend on the outdoor weather conditions. If you want to share tunnel time you'll have to take care of it yourself. In terms of coaching...what do you fly - RW, freefly? ________________________________________ Life is a series of wonderful opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.
  10. I've put approximately 450 jumps on Quest. I've also jumped it in the States. Good container. Still, I like my Javelin better ________________________________________ Life is a series of wonderful opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.
  11. They plan test flights in the end of January - beginning of February. Should be open to public in April...at least that what they say here ________________________________________ Life is a series of wonderful opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.
  12. Our 4-way team would like to share a video debrief room at SkydiveArizona for the Nationals'06 for the period from October 18 through 25. We are currently on the waiting list but if there's a team who'd like to share, please PM me. Thanks! ________________________________________ Life is a series of wonderful opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.
  13. We were flying in the tunnel in Eloy last week. It was unbelievably hot but bearable at the same time. Make sure you drink a lot of water. ________________________________________ Life is a series of wonderful opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.
  14. We were flying in the tunnel in Eloy last week. Incredibly hot! ________________________________________ Life is a series of wonderful opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.
  15. Yep, I've got 378 jumps (made another 28 last week-end) and approximately 15 hrs of tunnel time out of which 5 hrs were spent on flying 4way. Then every week-end we do at least 10 coached jumps in a team. Flying in the tunnel with Airspeed guys works miracles. No, seriously, I've been to 3 Airspeed camps and everything you see in the video is the result of their excellent coaching. ________________________________________ Life is a series of wonderful opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.
  16. thanks. But c'mon there's still lots to learn for us. Going to fly in the tunnel with Airspeed guys in a week. Looking forward to it and can't wait. ________________________________________ Life is a series of wonderful opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.
  17. Yep! That's us! ________________________________________ Life is a series of wonderful opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.
  18. Just got back from Airspeed 4way camp. That is my best skydiving experience. I've learnt in those 5 days more than during all my previous jumps. Todd, Andy H, Eric and Gary thank you for sharing your experience and all those little techniques that made us progress. You rock and you are the best! ________________________________________ Life is a series of wonderful opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.
  19. Thank you so much to all Bedford Bodyflight team! Special thanks to Ged for flying with us and for your great patience trying to sort out rotations! We had a great time!

  21. Glad to hear that you managed it well! Good job! Well done! Thanks for the post - a good reminder for everyone. ________________________________________ Life is a series of wonderful opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.
  22. I jumped AFF5 3 times because of the spins before my instructor suggested that I should get a video. I clearly saw that my legs were causing the problem. Definetely get a video! Good luck! You will make it!
  23. Sounds sooooo familiar! I guess the only way out is to keep jumping! ________________________________________ Life is a series of wonderful opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.
