  4. Oh yeah, and i love ALL my skydiving buddies, they are amongst the coolest people i know You guys rule! If in doubt, whip it out...
  5. It's good you are wanting to learn about things now it shows you are interested
  6. don't get me wrong, i know quite a few people who jump sabre 2's (probably the most popular canopy on my dz) what i meant was there good for the 'fresh off student status' to the more experienced guys. I've only just ordered my 1st rig this weekend which i am happy i will have downsized to before it arrives. I'm currently jumping a sabre 2 (170) now until my new container arrives then i will use my spectre 150. As for saving money, if you did buy now you would probably find yourself wanting a smaller canopy not long after you bought it, or even whilst your waiting for it to be made. S
  7. You should seek a proper CP instruction before attempting any swooping Swooping has always fascinated me and i love watching it and talking to them. I think it's a part of skydiving that takes time and effort (not to mention about 1000 jumps ) to be a good canopy pilot
  8. If i was you mate i would hire gear to the point that you have downsized to a size you will likely to be on for a long time then look at buying gear

  12. My canopy isn't elliptical but has very soft consistant openings. Spectre 150. They are deffinatley amongst the softest i've had. If your profile is correct i wouldn't have thought getting an elliptical canopy with only 135 jumps is a very wise idea? Triathlons are good canopies too but again, they are 7 cell but will keep you from injuring yourself
  13. sorry i don't get it lol If in doubt, whip it out...
  14. ........... If in doubt, whip it out...
  15. A man was leaving a convenience store with his morning coffee when he noticed a most unusual funeral procession approaching the nearby cemetery. A long black hearse was followed by a second long black hearse about 50 Feet behind the first one. Behind the second hearse was a solitary man walking a dog on a leash. Behind him, a short distance back, were about 200 men walking single file. The man couldn't stand the curiosity. He respectfully approached the man walking the dog and said, 'I am so sorry for your loss, and I know now is a bad time to disturb you, but I've never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?' 'My wife's.' 'What happened to her?' The man replied, 'My dog attacked and killed her.' He inquired further, 'But who is in the second hearse?' The man answered, 'My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my wife when the dog turned on her.' A poignant and thoughtful moment of silence passed between the two men. 'May I borrow the dog?' 'Get in line.' If in doubt, whip it out...
