Jumping out of Planes other than 182s
jumpy replied to somethinelse's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Coolest plane i've jumped out of was a cresco.. not exactly the roomyest plane in the world.. about 10 - 11 people but who cares! its 11 minutes to 14 grand and hydraulic door!! what more can you ask for in a plane? -
Well, you may want to rethink that... or rephrase it any way. Lets take Freeflying. I'm still learning it and I definately don't suck at it. I teach it all the time. I'm a very good rigger. I teach rigging stuff but I'm learning about it more an more all the time. You get the point.... - - Exactly.. this is a sport where someone always knows more then you.. about something at least and maybe you know more about something else... Never stop learning!

If you have ever rode the plane down...
jumpy replied to gatorbait's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Twice and it feels damn weird!! First time was like my 10 second delay and i got freaked out and went down with the plane.. i'm happy to admit that.. we live and we learn.. just wasn't ready at that moment. Second was because of weather just off student status.. and experience guy stayed with me in the plane and everyone else that jumped got into crap -
But an aircraft radio can't misfire at 8,000 ft and destroy your reserve when you doing head down. They have no idea what will happen's after 12 years thats the problem.. maybe it will be fine but maybe is not a nice word when it comes to people lives..

I'm a pretty bad packer so bout 15 minutes.. but i don't really mind packing.. so i take my time. I have however packed it around 10 minutes to make a load before. Its an Icarus 145 with around 150 jumps on it. And a racer with the damn annoying riser covers
-
ahh well no need to jump if ya don't wanna on the other hand no jumping when you DO want to sucks!! Haven't jumped in a month the longest i've gone in a year!! I keep on going and patting my rig.. lol But this coming weekend I shall fly again!!!

I vote never jump with him again! I sure as hell wouldn't!

Final draft of Physics term paper
jumpy replied to NoShitThereIWas's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Good stuff! Maybe now your physics teacher will be educated on the subject of skydiving! Mine sure as hell ain't! -
Aim to be happy! Cos when you really think about it there's no point in doing something that doesn't make you happy (unless it helps you to get something that will make you happy) As far as I can tell its the point to life And on that note I'm off to do my Physics homework so that someday i can be a pilot and be happy lol

There's always someone in the crowd that wants to ruine a dream isn't there!!!! Dude where skydivers! We have connections. The DZ the place to go if you want something done cos chances are there's someone there who can hook you up Not sure how someone would hook you up with a aircraft carrier maintenance crew but hey we'll get to that when we come to it
-
I was always told to watch the plane as well. Its the best picture in the world when you finaly do! The only thing i can suggest is just don't think about it... feel the air and don't fight it.. think of being ontop of the air rather then falling through it..... so yeah basicly relax and have fun lol!!
-
Ya know we could afford this!! DZ.com member: 10,000 last time i checked Cost of aircraft carrier: $4,500,000 $4,500,000 divided by 10,000 members =$450 US dollars each!
-
Ohh colour photos! Does that mean there's hope that I might be able to find one and jump it someday? They look damn mad! and very interesting design!
-
It can be used as an audible OR wrist mount alti. But not both at the same time.. If you already have an audible it is wrist mount that records data like a pro track.. pretty cool i think... But then I love gadgets
-
ahahahahahahahahaha! yep i'll beleive that!
-
Anyone ever jump a Paradactyl or Thunderbow? Found a picture of both and wondering about the interesting landing and flying characteristics? And if anyone jumps them these days every once in a while like they do rounds?
-
The first lady is scary! Camera in the room and checks it every TEN minutes????? And a 13 year old needing to concentrate on there homework more?? kids need to have fun otherwise there's no point in being a kid!! Plus i'm sure her 13 year old is begining to do things that she doesn't want to see and he certainly doesn't want her to see..... Although she does sound rather freaky!! This is damn annoying to me! Any kid that finds out about a camera in there room is just going to be a much worse child.. acting out more and rebelling against there parents more!

At least where I jump we have FXC's on our aff rigs and SOS handles as well. Apparently our rigs used to have two ripcords as well but they where removed (this is before my time though).
-
Hey buddy, i'm even younger than you are!! 17 and started bout a week after my 16th bday
-
Know exactly what you mean! Would recognise the smell of my rig a million miles away
-
I don't just want I NEED one of those!!!
-
Actually the Cypres recalibrates itself after being on the ground for a period of time... that is not climbing or descending.

According to the 'Beer rules' borrowed gear... otherwise known as demo'd gear does not count.. and hence you do not HAVE to buy beer... BUTTT hey i'm sure no one will mind if you do

ahahahahaha! ohh so true!
