I went to the DZ and tried my first 4 way!
Ashkit replied to Ashkit's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I'm not sure, We were falling at a slower rate than they were and Darlene was on the strut and I went out first with them following, I did an unstable exit doing a sort of front loop then got stable, but even with that they sunk below us and were gone in no time. I went up with 3 other jumpers yesteday and we got the 4 way and did 2 points so that was awesome, I was on top of the world after that! Guess I'm easy to please! -
On this jump one of us went on the strut, of the 180 and I was the at the door with 2 other jumpers behind me. I went out on go and we hooked up the other 2 joined us and then I went to just the girl across from me, Darlene, and they took side grips, then we left go and turned and tracked, landing was great too even though we had 11mph North west winds which is hard for our DZ. After wards they asked me why I didn't let go of Darlene that we would have had time for another point but I said, we didn't plan that and I never did it before so how was I supposed to know what was supposed to come next! I guess next time I will go through more what if's... Regardless, I had an absolute blast! Goin back today! LUV IT! Whether you think you can or can't either way you're right!

Wow, I'm glad you wrote all that, its' a mouthful! Whether you think you can or can't either way you're right! -
Yea but did you know that they changed the sizes to accomodate the fatties... a size 16 back then would be like a 10 now if that... so no she wasn't fat she was skinny just not sickly skinny and had boobs! besides, her sexiness was about alot more than her size...

Ashkit replied to Ashkit's topic in Events & Places to Jump
Who is coming to the scrambles this Sunday in Hazleton? And who is coming the farthest? I just was trying to get an idea of how many would be there and,,, if you ever went in years gone by, how many people were there? Is there typically a party afterwards? Whether you think you can or can't either way you're right! -
heheh why do they have to be short? hahahahhaaaa Whether you think you can or can't either way you're right!

Ha Ha. Funny If I showed something to the pilot on the way up first of all it wouldn't be little and second of all, he'd probably get too excited to fly, hehehehe... Whether you think you can or can't either way you're right! -

Yes it was Kewl! And very very fun... I love the people at our DZ, they are ALL so freakin nice! Like a family! As I said in a different post, I learned not to extend my legs in formation and feel more comfortable with the exit procedure now that I know it and tried it. I enjoy jumping so much more when I am not being quized and graded and watched, not that there was any pressure from anyone but myself but this breather is refreshing! thanks!

Ashkit replied to Ashkit's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Great! I am glad you posted! Glad to hear someone else with my experience is trying this! We would have gone again but storms came into the area that stopped everything.. Yea, I feel the same way, like I learned a lot, I learned I didn't have my legs bent enough while joined and your post told me that I need to watch where I hold onto the other person not to cover their alt.. thanks, knowlege is not evil!

Thanks! I'm going to go again today, that is if the weather holds up, its supposed to be clear by then but it all depends on the winds! North is bad at our DZ. Anyway, thanks for your encouragement! -
Hi, I am new to skydiving myself with 31 jumps but as you stated I knew in my heart I was going to persue it and get licensed so after about 5 of my lessons I purchased a used rig from someone at the DZ for $2000.00 and it saved me money since i didn't have to pay the rental fee for the rest of the lessons. I got my license at about 28 jumps and I'm happy I have my own rig now and I figure when I'm ready and when I have more experience I'll get a custom rig for myself that fits better. Good Luck to you! I waited because they started me on a 190 and then moved me to a 170 and thats what I bought. I'm happy with it for now...

Hey I tried a four way with my instructor and two other experienced jumpers, only my instructor and I were able to hook up but the others were close when we turned and tracked away. Then the storms rolled in so we all left, I'll go back tomorow and try again, It was fun! Thanks to all who supported me with this! I'm excited for the scrambles on Sunday now... So now I have 31 jumps! Whether you think you can or can't either way you're right! -
Yea, as I said before, I don't have a good arch to begin with.. But, he was also very far away from me that I really didn't have to look down to see him. He was also very inexperienced, 48 jumps... so neither of us had ever even tried to do it before.. At first I was mad at myself for even trying since I felt I wasted the jump and could have been practicing the next sequence for B license requirements... but now I am glad since I am getting so much feedback on the situation.. I am going over to the DZ tonight at 5 hopefully the weather will hold out, Darlene is supposed to work on some 2-ways with me so that makes me feel more comfortable with everything. If I can I will jump today, tomorrow, and Saturday so that on Sunday I'll have a better idea of my skill level, or lack of it. Whether you think you can or can't either way you're right!

Yea I was told that... I really hate having on a tight jumpsuit but I guess I'll have to get used to that.. Whether you think you can or can't either way you're right!

So you think I should pass? Whether you think you can or can't either way you're right!

Thanks, yea I have a sabre 170 and I do not feel like I would think of changing that, I enjoy it slow... Whether you think you can or can't either way you're right!
-
OUCH! I never heard that, I'm glad that it isn't true! But I have to say, I had 2 old fillings removed and replaced 8 months ago and they are still hurting.. May I need a root canal... Great! Or maybe when it gets cold and I don't jump they'll stop hurting, I'll let you know... Whether you think you can or can't either way you're right!

Thanks, Yea, I wouldn't call myself small, at 123 lbs. 5'5'' but I do fall slower than everyone I jumped with so far, and I don't have a great arch so that doesn't help. Does it feel different when your wearing weights? Does it greatly affect landing? I haven't perfected that yet so I worry about that.. Whether you think you can or can't either way you're right!

This is the funniest one! for sure... Whether you think you can or can't either way you're right!
