I just did the math, (in my head) and that leaves 1,000 to go! Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"

I used one once per the dz's requirement, but haven't since. No problems with it. Another thing I do to preserve night vision is to wear sunglasses after gearing up until the door opens in the plane. Inevitably, someone turns on their bright white strobe on the ride to altitude. Of course, now I have to mention that you should remove the sunglasses before exiting.

CK is my home dropzone. The current manager IS a skydiver, but doesn't jump due to physical problems. Also the only people who have been kicked off were 2 idiots who got drunk off the dz and decided to wake everyone, including the whuffo neighbors, in the area at 3 am on a Friday night, by banging on doors. Since you have all those friends across the country, maybe you can get them to supply some of the particular incidents of people getting kicked off?

How about the google ad for skydiving NJ/Pa? They mention freefall over the Hudson Valley which is in New YorK? Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"

If RW is dead, what am I going to do with my 4 rw jumpsuits? Next time you're at CK, look me up. You can have me paged ( Steve Love) or just listen for my big mouth.

One of the best pieces of advice (from Dan BC) was to exit, get stable, and stop for a second. Find your radial and TAKE YOUR TIME. Most of the people going low is not fall rate, but over amping to the formation.

Like the previous statement, it should take between 12-14 lbs to unstow the lines from the bands. Small rubber bands should never be double stowed. The large rubber bands should be.

If you're on the eastern shore of Maryland, below Dover, your best bet is Delmarva. If you're on the estern shore your best bet would be in Virginia.

I had the same problem at your experience level. I always thought it was me until a few highly experienced people said the same thing. It was then decided to speed things up. Fast fallers in the base and the "floaties" strapped on some lead. Now no one sinks out and we are in the 120 mph range on everything from 4 way up to 20 ways. Tell your partners to stick their d*cks in the dirt!

Wait until you go to a boogie and the registration fee includes "free" beer and you don't drink beer.

I have over 1000 jumps on a Sabre 2 190 and the end cell closure occurs about 95% of the time. I'm loading it about 1:1. The response I received from PD was the design change from Sabre 1 causes the closures, especially with a "light" wing load. Still love the canopy.

I don't think that the half shell Protec will accept an audible. Any audible has to be located by you ear as they're not very loud to start with. You can fit an audible in the standard Protec, inside the ear hole. Be sure to face the sounding hole toward your ear.
