I just thought I'd update the list a little. I recently found myself with some time on my hands, and decided to return to Sebastian! If anyone is flying into Orlando on Friday afternoon and needs a ride down, let me know. I'll be flying in at 2:00pm a97virago allisonjr bendywendy bdbrown brierebecca (& travis?) carbonezone cheneyneel cynci DaGimp Dove flysister freeflynNicki - dont forget the soap! jib Katiebear21 LoudDan JCeman & TLML Marks + many other freinds Melstarr Nightjumper Paige RfukfreeflyingW Shananay + many other freinds Sid skydivegirl skydiveNflorida skydivingwill + friends and hot chicks skynole skymama Spaceland Sweethearts (Aki, Alex, Janie & Katriona) srsublime stacy & Galen sunnydee123 Tracker Trumansparks VanillaSkyGirl whirlaway Volo Larry A-43434

I see pictures from 1/21/05 at Z-hills. I was there that day, but alas, no pics of me :( Larry A-43434

I'm gonna be in the area then, i'm not sure what days I'll be jumping. Larry A-43434

I'll be in Florida during that time and looking to see what's going on, who will be where, etc. I'll be staying in Venice, FL, but I am planning at least one trip to the Deland and/or Sebastian area. This will be my second trip to Florida as a skydiver and was looking to meet people to hang out with and jump. Someone who wouldn't mind jumping with relative novice from the North :) Larry A-43434

If you can get a video card, try plugging that in and plugging the monitor into the new card. It sounds like the Video card died. You SHOULD hear a series of beeps. If you do, note them Long, short, etc. And use the link above to further determine the problem. Larry A-43434

The Pro-track, tracks Average fall rate for the first half of the dive, Average for the second have, overall average, and Max fall rate. These are all displayed on the pro-track without any software/hardware required. If you want to see a graph of your dive, you need to purchase the Jumptrack (Software and cradle) and download the info from your Pro-track to your PC. It extends the learning by showing you at what point in the dive you were at what fall rates. For me, my max was at the begining of what I believe was my track-away. Just an update, I took a couple of the tips, de-arching, sucking in my gut, and rolling my shoulders forward and this helped a lot! I'll keep working at it. But it certainly helped! Larry A-43434

If you're talking about Basic Canopy Flight, I bought the same a couple of years ago. I believe you can still buy them. There's even one on Ebay Basic Canopy Flight Paragear has it as well, it's almost at the bottom of the page (keep scrolling) Larry A-43434

Hi, my name is Larry... ... And I'm an Anvil! It's been three days since I've Anviled. It's nice to see other belly flyers that give the freeflyers a run for their money. Wish I could be there for MOAB Larry A-43434

Thank you for responding with some suggestions. Just to clarify, I DO own the Jumptrack software. That's how I know that my max speed is at the start of my track. When I get home, I'll post the graph if anyone is interested. I just know that tracking well is yet another of our life-saving skills, and anything I can do to improve those is goal #1 for me!

I'm a PC tech, and you can BET that everyday I have people (friends, family, people I meet in a bar) ask to pick my brain. Now I'm not arguing with paying for a re-currency jump. I've had to do it many time (long northern winters). However, it is not uncommon for people to ask for professional favors. Just ask any doctor you know how often they get asked for medical advice at parties. Larry A-43434

My first reserve ride was on my 11th. At 4000, I had a two-out side-by-side. Turned into a downplane. Everyone on the ground was wondering who was doing CReW. Just me, the "One Man CReW Team". Cutaway the downplane within a sec of it starting and had my best landing to that point! Larry A-43434

I agree, and that's why I'll get video next time. The problem with what my instructors told me, is that it was quite a while ago. I probably have developed plenty of bad habits in that time. Was just looking to see if anyone has seen this symptom before. Larry A-43434

Lately I've been logging my jumps with a pro-track and been seeing some outrageous freefall speeds. Now bear in mind, I am a belly flyer! On my last 2 jumps, I hit max fall rates of about 160mph. When I looked at my pro-track, it appears that I am getting these speeds in a track. I had assumed that in a track my fall rate would be less as I would be converting some of it to Horizontal. Or am I way off? I'm afraid that I'm not getting near the separation I should because my track isn't as good as it should be. Now my question, WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? I'm gonna try and get some video this weekend and see that I'm doing. Any other suggestions? Larry A-43434

Congratulations!!! Larry A-43434

Let me just caution on butt-slide landings. I had on last year that instead of sliding, I got dumped right on my ass. Fractured my tailbone. The problem with buttslides is you can't PLF from one. My opinion: I'd rather PLF! Larry A-43434

You just lost that bet! Larry A-43434

I DO have a bumper sticker from my home DZ, but it's kinda like getting bumper stickers from Mt. Washington. I like commemorating the places I've jumped. Larry A-43434

I was 31 when I made my first tandem. You know, that once in a lifetime jump on your birthday. Well, 5 years later and I can't get out there enough. And I had my first reserve ride on my 11th jump, as well, as my first broken bone ever on my 10th. Talk about thinking someone was trying to tell me something. But since then, it's all FANTASTIC! I wouldn't have traded it for the world. Larry Larry A-43434

Bumping once, hoping someone will help... Over a hundred views and not one from someone who jumps at Sebastian? Larry A-43434

I just want to say that my friend and I were there Monday July 26th. We only made one jump, but everyone there was fantastic! It was the weekend of the 100 way in Orange and things were a little chaotic in Lebanon. But through it all, Mama Sue kept her cool! There were about 17 tandems that she was trying to get up in the air, without the Otter (yee gads!) But she still made sure that my buddy and me were going to get on a load as soon as she could! It looked like it might be a while, but that's ok, everyone was very cool, very relaxed, what a great vibe! Well, turned out, the Cessna was being taken out of service. What? No plane? Might as well leave, right? Not a chance! Within 30 minutes, Mike was back with the Otter for two quick loads. So we got our jump! And while we were packing up, preparing to call it a day, Mike hollers over from the truck. "Where you guys from?" "NY", we tell him. "Wanna come to Orange with us?" What? offering us a lift to Orange, how cool is that. If we didn't have plans that evening, you bet your A$$ we would have gone! I guess I'm just not used to people going so far out of their way for perfect strangers (well, nobody's perfect!) I said it before and I'll say it again, what a great DZ. Thanks to Mama Sue, Mike, Jonei, John, Wildman, Lauren and all the rest for making our one jump with you guys warm, welcoming and a lot of fun! Larry A-43434

Could someone help a brother out??? I was down in Sebastian in March, made a couple of jumps. What a great place! Well run, very friendly, BEAUTIFUL view from up top! Well, I left and forgot to get a bumper sticker for my car. Would someone be willing to send me one? PM me for my address. Thanks! Larry A-43434

Well, my SO wears one and she's 51, and her neice wears one and she's 17. Larry A-43434

Haven't you seen them. It's the interchangeable charm braclets that every woman seems to have these days. Here's a link for demonstrative purposes only Larry A-43434

A while ago, I saw some on ebay, but now I can't seem to find them anywhere. Does anyone know where I might be able to find these things. PM me so we don't get in trouble with the greenies! Thanks! Larry A-43434

Aubrey, I'll fly with yah, I clocked my flatflying at 149! No weights! Larry A-43434
