hey id like to purchase some instructional skydiving videos. videos that teach me to freefly and be a better skydiver overall any suggestions of specific videos to purchase?

ya im licensed i don't have a rig, but i have accessories. something about using a rig i've never used before thanks for tips ill be more assertive, i think thats a good word..maybe not...in other words ill try not to be such a pussy

i don't know if it was the people staring at me like i was some random or if it was all the high performance guys. every person seemed to be jumping something fast it could have been the fear of dieing in the middle of no where maybe im just a pussy and i need to grow some balls i dunno it was weird and im very bummed. i dont know how i would be able to travel and skydive. i guess maybe.. i won't be that kind of jumper yet

no i learned on a twin and i don't have any buddies all my friends who were suppose to be skydivers with me had other plans like drug problems and accidents i've been trying to save people and bring them with me, for my own sake of having friends, and for there sake of living a sober life everytime i got near a goal with my old closest friends they would get sent away, or fall into a pit full of substance abuse and then they shut me out of there life because i want to help them my other closest friend was in a coma on his death bed, they pulled him out of a self-induced 2 week coma do not pity. you play the hand you are dealt. im finding it harder to make friends as i grow up, it hought my friends from when i was younger would stick around. they all changed and have better things to do with there time and money apparently. attached you will find one of the last friends i have right now he can only say yes or no by squeezing hands, 1 squeeze is no, 2 squeezes is yes this is the result of making bad decisions, drinking driving a motorcycle and attempting to run from the police at 230 am. he slammed into the back of a truck at 140 mph according to his mom, everything happens for a reason

I just went to Arizona to check out a couple colleges, embry riddle in {rescott and ASU. I was so excited to go to arizona because i had heard so much about Eloy's Dropzone, i drove 3 hours out of the way on a 2 lane highway i was behind 2 big trucks the entire way but that didn't bring me down.. i arrived at skydive arizona, which is out in the middle of nowhere and i was impressed but at the same time i was literally shaking the entire time i was there i have no idea why i felt this way but it continued the entire time i was there. it was a beautiful day, light breeze lots of jumpers but the entire time i was petrified. I brought all my gear and I was so nervous i discouraged myself from jumping... i knew i was making the wrong decision but i left without looking back and once i got back to the hotel i was really sad and depressed i don't really know what it was, the fear of the unknown, being in a new place, i dunno if i felt out of place among the other jumpers. all these weird things keep happening to me with things i like. does anyone ever have this happen

well thats the worst website ive ever seen. i will offer to build your website professionally for free (if your interested) if you make it big the only request i have is jump tickets

ya i hear the stilletto is not a good canopy, it apparently is worth no money and has the highest malfunction rate.. i obviously wont be flying that as far as the size, im almost to 150, (169) and would like to get something that has room for d-size. money is my biggest issue. i need an angel, i need something reliable but cheap having such trouble adapting into a money-run world. i come from no money and im not worth money to employers. i feel i skydive because i have nothing left. that will soon to include money..

alright thanks ill keep lookin

i dont have that info, and i wont for a while but i appreciate it, but he assured me that his guys at elsinore would check it and make sure its legit, i guess im just really asking about the price and ability to trade the stiletto.. its a purple rig and it looks somewhat old, possibly 3+ years? seemed very broken in, thats for sure.. are there cheaper options that are safe, what could you suggest for someone on a budget? on and it seems like the reserve pin cover doesnt actually tuck into the container, it just stops i think its the same on the main, does that sound like a different versioN?

Hi, ive been offered gear by a person i met at my local gym, he was wearing a go fast t-shirt so it sparked the conversation, anyways its an old javelin with a pd reserve and a stiletto 150. he is asking 2500 for everything and i first want to know if you believe thats a good deal, i went to his home to try it on and it fits fine. a stiletto is not a good canopy for my skill level, so i'll be looking to sell it and get something more docile. i was curious what kind of deals people believe i will be able to work out? do you think i should ask for a canopy + extra money (like an icarus safire2) or would it be straight up? i also found out that this guy was on a bunch of world teams, like china and i think belgium or something... his name is peter carides and i actually know his son from high school which is a trip cause who would have thought i have more in common with his dad.. anyways good deal? bad deal? any help is much appreciated

wow thanks D123 for showing me that yet another reason to live and i think i might look into paragliding, i have this vision of living a lifestyle, sadly im no where near it and having trouble grasping it

im thinking about taking lessons this summer and had some questions about paragliding, first of all, what kinda ranges are there for paraglide flights, second what are the risk factors, im assuming stalls are biggest? theres a great glider port near my home and i was interested. any other info would be great

pretended i was shopping at the grocery store but just kept eating everything i pulled off the shelves..

i know 2 people at my local dropzone who use SHURE noise canceling headphones which are air-tight during freefall. they claim they can hear a dytter too

join the club...

lol some of you attacked me in your reply, your igorant, i was simply asking what anyone had to say about the silly ching chong bank lady who shorted me 1 dollar. yes your all correct skydive till it kills me.

i was at the bank the other day and one of the tellers told me that everytime your adrenaline rushes it takes 2-5 minutes off your life. i told her that was hard to believe and she came back with "im a pre-med major". Has anyone ever heard this? its hard for me to fully believe that. does anyone else believe that

well i appreciate the help, the sad reality is i cannot skydive if im dead... so i guess the plan is to keep on keeping on..i lost a friend recently www.tonyismissing.com and i think he was feeling the same way i was. i admit i need medical help and the doctor isnt back till monday, my mom, yes my mommy, suggested i see this doctor and get medical help, but in my heart of hearts i dont wanna put a drug in my body that alters my mood. but then again ill try anything twice. i appreciate all of your support, im all mushy inside and its settling to know that people who i dont even know are extending there hearts to a "random". thanks.

i spent my entire high school career trying to "fit in" every friday i would call all the people i had accumulated in my phone book, the same people who said they wanted to hang out. id try to find the parties, id try to find the kick-backs and sometimes i would find them, but no one wanted me there. i just wanted people to want me to be there.

im finding it hard to pick a life path. i started skydiving back in june, now unfortunatley its all i wanna do. i've never been good at school, so i dont see a point to signing up. in fact i'm having trouble being motivated to live, if you will. its too much effort and not rewarding enough. i constantly find myself angry and sad. i dont have any real friends, people are friendly but i never get calls on my cell phone from people i know asking me i wanna go to a party, or go do something. my life lacks structure. im unmotivated to do simple things. i find i only have a smile on my face when im at the dropzone, the people at manifest are warm and friendly, other then that im just excited to skydive. no one will really jump with me, i guess im just a "kook". im 19 years old and i have a drug addiction, skydiving. i'd like to work at a dropzone, somewhere warm, and i'd like to be a sky bum if you will.. anyways. im very unmotivated to live at this point. i didnt bring myself into the world, but the thought of taking myself out of it always scrolls my mind.. so i ask you, what keeps you going... is it just skydiving?
