Bwahahahaha ... yep, that's a newb for ya .. seen enough pass out and more puke both in freefall as well as under canopy .. always good for a laugh or two!

And I too for the record have decided to put a stop to the risky hobbies ... lost too many close friends to me over the years and the last 2 that went sort of put things in perspective ... So if anyone is interested in a skydiving rig, by all means, PM ME LOL!

So....The size of your chute is inverse to the amount of cake you eat?...Just curious:D:D


<fx: ducks and crawls out>

Don't blame me..it was Shorty's idea..:D

Uh huh .. blame shorty Den .. very smoooooooothe! LOL!
Smaller chute with more weight under it comes down faster and moves forward a whole hell of a lot faster. When I initially bought the canopy I have nowI was approx 20 lbs lighter than I am now ... I ended up wearing weights around my waste to increase the loading of the canopy to get the speed I was after ..
They estimated my impact speed at approx 35-40 mph when I ended up in the ICU back in -02 I think it was ... I haven't exactly gotten any slower on those landings over the years ... if that tells you anything :-) And yes, I've had puddin' during that time too ... smartazz!!!! LOL!
