spiccoli

thank you both brabzzz and ecll. when advice is put to me like this, it truly broadens the horizons for us young seedlings. i hadnt thought about getting a 350 since i saw it was built for 190,but your experience with it sounds just like what i am going for. i hadnt considered getting a size smaller main as i didnt know if this was a good idea functionaly speaking, but it seems plenty do it. so are there more docile reserves than the PDR, that pack the same size? i think this is what you were saying barbzzz? thanks guys. we need to talk about your flare..

very eloquently put mojo. your not the guy that walks around the dz with a tub of protien are you?maybe not, but if so, i wrote about you in my "chuckleheads" post. just kidding man,im sure that wasnt you i wrote about, but your "be tough if your gonna be stupid" comment is probably one of the most assanine and careless comments ive ever heard when it comes to somones life. if this is a theory you prescribe to though, please take it to another topic like whether drinking a milkshake is worth it if your lactose intolerant.your theory will be more welcomed there. we need to talk about your flare..

hey riggermick. thanks for the reply, but just to make sure i understand,i think what you were trying to say is "hi spiccoli.im responding on behalf or your query and would like to contribute my 7500 jumps of experience for your benifit because i would not like to see anyone get hurt in our beloved sport.to address your question directly i do/dont think you should go with conopy x because it is/isnt possible to have a sufficiantly safe landing. instead, i would suggest y or z. good luck in your endevours." did i get the just of it?? we need to talk about your flare..

haha well,i see you guys made it through half of my post. i guess the excitment to flame somone, with no regard to any sort of constructive response was just too much to bare.i forget that some people here were born with 1000 jumps and got to bypass the learning stage. was there any part of my question that conveyed arrogance? if that was the case, iwouldnt even care for any advice. the questions were pretty straigt forward, which most of you dont seem capable of answering without making a clown of yourself.for the more articulate contributors, i progressed 260-240-220-210-190. i didnt just help myself to the rig that appealed to me most that day. my instructors took me through as they felt i was ready.i have no prblem staying there, but in reality i know it will take several months to to aquire a new rig,which will mean many more jumps by then. i belive i aked if this was acceptable, which is a yes/no question with room for advice. im sure you wise noblemen can find a post better suited for your input.theres probably one about novelty mustaches on here somwhere. we need to talk about your flare..

it is more comforting indeed. and yes, personal advice is the best. i just moved here so hopefuly ill make some new knowledgable aqaintances soon. we need to talk about your flare..

so im on a quest to buy my first rig and have hit a few dillemas that i need some experienced insight on. ive settled on a V3 w/skyhook,that much i know.ive been cruising through the forums, and the trend seems to be to have a reserve bigger or equal to your main, however according to the RW sizing chart, if i were wanting a container made for sabre170,i would have to have a PD160R.is this size differnce not too dramatic? i would load a 170 at 1.17 and 160at 1.25.is this acceptable? i have 30 jumps as of now, jump every weekend weather permitting. if i got a PD176R, i would have to get a container built for a 190, which is what im on right now and by the time my rig gets put together i wont get as much time out of it right? will you survive an unconcious reserve ride at 1.25, is my main question.what are my options? yes,yes, the commonplace response is to ask my instructor,iknow. but since i moved to the UK its just not possible to have a one on one so i would like to get some insight based on some of your experiences. much thanks. we need to talk about your flare..

the camelback guys i believe from the west side of town. the protien tub crew is from the east. this would explain the tensions that arrise when one of the more affluent camlebacks gets involved with one of the protein tuber's gal, resulting in agressive snapping and rhythmic confrontations. puts all of douchville in an uprour. we need to talk about your flare..

haha, oh man. so i noticed this guy at the dz who always walked around with this 5lb tub of protien under his arm. i think he only sat it down to pack, but would pick it right back up before engaging in any conversasion, especialy with the dames.i saw him proped up against the wall bill lumburgh style, using any irrelevant part of the conversation to refer back to his playing college baseball.i guess this protien was his only hope of getting any assumptions to his credibility. why do people go out of there way to make an assclown of themselves? he could have done it without stage props.i havnt been in the skydive scene long at all, just got my license in fact,so maybe im ovelooking some part of skydive culture, but im guessing that skydiving is not a real physicaly intense activity requiring supplements between each jump (unless your a terrible packer). does each dz have its quota of neanderthols, or is this guy the crown jewel? we need to talk about your flare..

i just moved to oxford from the states to study and am trying to hit the ground running so i dont loose currency.ive made it out to weston on the green this weekend to get all the bpa and club credentials out of the way, but was stranded because the bus doesnt run after 730 out there. luckily i got a ride to bicestor. is there anyone in oxford that would be interested in exchanging lifts to local dz's for a few pounds and good humor? especialy on sundays since i guess the busses dont seem to run there. or if someone knows more about bus schedules that im overlooking that also would be fantastic. if this is in the wrong forum, my appologies. the powers that be can feel free to move it. much thanks. we need to talk about your flare..

it seems like the ones that dont believe in God are the only ones complaining that he doesnt hand over everything they ask for. its like not believing in toilettes just because you accidentaly miss and piss on your foot. we need to talk about your flare..

Quote hm. and you came to this articulate conclusion how? so im guessing you live in prison or cuba then? we need to talk about your flare..

i can relate AEsco48. i did my first tandem last year right when i turned 18. i definately did not get the rush that other people talked it up to be, but its all subjective.in fact, i get a bigger rush waiting for someone to say the secret word on Pee Wee's Playhouse or bombing a joke onstage, so maybe i just have a wire crossed.anyhow i stuck with it and it started growing on me. i only have 20 jumps and am getting to where i like it more every time, much to the dissmay of my finances. rock climbing is by far cheaper and gets my heart beating faster, but skydiving is truly a unique sensation that i think is worth the time and cabbage.im sure if you continue to persue it, it will suck you in; you take in more every jump. if not, just dont flush the toilette at the DZ so they dont ask you to come back. good luck with whatever you choose to invest in. we need to talk about your flare..
