Yeah, I did that on my first jump with it. I opened at 6,000 and just played around with it. But after that my second jump with it I just opened at 4,500. Both times I got some end-cell closure. not too bad. but the second jump I had slider up. Other than that it opens really really smooth and slow. "Fast is slow, slow is fast"

I already did all that. My DZ instructor is the one who suggested me that rig. "Fast is slow, slow is fast"

Hey guy's I bought myself a rig this weekend. A javelin container with a sabre II 170 main and a 170 reserve(I don't remember what canopy it is). It also has a cypress. I got it all in $1,800. He even threw in an altimeter. Everybody at the DZ was saying that it was a steal. Just the canopy alone is worth more than the whole rig people where telling me. He didn't even have more than a 100 jumps with that sabre. Any suggestions on how I should treat this new rig? It's my first one. "Fast is slow, slow is fast"

Hey guys Just been having long nights lately. I can't stop thinking that I'll end up having a job that I hate. I'm 22 right now and I just finished my bachelors in marketing. I'm probably going to go on and do a masters in international marketing. It's all cool and all, I have a good average and I'll probably get a good job in it. The thing is... I'm not sure this is something that I'll enjoy doing for the rest of my life. I wouldn't want to live the kind of life where I have a job that I hate going to. You might be wondering by now what is it that I would like to do. Well to some people it might seem kinda silly, but I've always wanted to be in the entertainment industry. Mostly I've always wanted to be an actor. But I also love anything that has to do with production of filmmaking. That's something that I would probably wake up early every day to do. But the thins is that I don't have many chances to achieve any of my dreams where I live. I live in Puerto Rico and there are very little, if no opportunities to do what I want. I've always wanted to move to the states to pursue that dream. But it's way easier said than done, specially if you have no money to do it and no relatives to stay with. Basically I'm stuck in this little island(which I think is great and consider my home). This is something that not many people know about me. I don't normally talk about this to anyone of my friends cause I doubt that they'll really understand. This new love that I have in skydiving has obviously brought with it a whole new group of people that I've met in the DZ. I've been reading a lot in the forums and I've noticed that the skydiving community is very supportive and I would just like to know if anyone has any advice for me. What do they think that could be done to get out of this Island to pursue my dreams. Any suggestions will be very appreciated. I don't mean to sound desperate and if I have it wasn't at all the way I was feeling... Maybe just a little bit. "Fast is slow, slow is fast"

Yeah, It's beautiful every single jump. And we have the same weather all year. We also have the option of doing beach jumps. It's pretty nice. Hope to see you in the next boogie. "Fast is slow, slow is fast"

Hey everyone Just thought I'd give my introduction, so here it goes: My name is Ricardo which is Richard in spanish. Almost all my friends call me Ricky-tan. I'm currently working as a personal trainer. And I'm 100% addicted to skydiving. It all started in january of this year when a group of friends and me decided to do a tandem jump. I became addicted before we even hit the ground. I remember telling my instructor right after the parachute opened that I was addicted and that he had no idea what he had done to me. Afer that I waited a couple of weeks because I was waiting for a couple of my friends to take the AFF course with me. But in the end I took them alone. Took me a while due to little time and money but I'm glad to say that I finished my aff two weeks ago. My DZ is xtreme divers Puerto Rico and ever since that jump all my weekends consist of wanting to hang out all day in the DZ. My real goal is to be able to get good enough to start base jumping so I can eventually do wingsuit base jumping. But that's more in the future. Well... I guess that's it. anything else ?
