    Haha yup. I need to make friends with someone who flies a camera. I really want to see myself in freefall. I had a coached jump as a student with a camera, but he never sent me the video like he said he would. Asshole.

    PD makes the Pulse, its like a hybrid of the old F-111 material and new material, so it flies different, but very easy to pack. But yea, was flying a 210 Pulse and coming in and flared a little late (I tend to flare too late than too early and worst case scenario I slide it out on my ass), but I don't think I finished out the flare and went to slide it out nicely but took a nice tumble instead.

    I was having trouble landing when I was down to a 190 last fall, and ever since then I've been landing like ****. I really think its my confidence. When I was a student I was so excited to fly, I had a perfect stand up landing every single jump.

    Have you flown a Pulse canopy? Because I flew one a few weeks ago, didn't like it too much, and then last Saturday I flew one again and hit the ground HARD. **** flares so weird. Now I'm scared to jump.

    Yea, Mr. Bill looks fun for either person involved.

    I'm trying to find container, main, reserve for ~$2k, then buy a brand new Vigil for $1300, otherwise find everything altogether.

    Yea, rig is a rig. I was looking at a no name brand container. I really don't care as long as it works

    Cool cool. I've been finding some decent rigs under $3k. I may see if I can get a loan from my parents and get something better though. I really like Infinity rigs.


    Ahh tube exit, yea those look fun. My dream is to try a Mr. Bill. I'm thinking for my 100th.

    Then you still need a reserve and aad?

    Yea I hate renting gear too, we can't do anything fun like go on the sunset load with them.

    What is a tube? lol

    That's crazy. I did 2 jumps the last 2 weeks. On our safety day some kid landed in a tree, had to get the fire department to get him down. And somehow we had too many people on the otter, with tandems, it was the most uncomfortable ride ever.

    That sounds perfect man. I'm thinkin like a 3-4 day vacation. So Maybe get there Wed, have all day Thursday to sight see/drink. Friday, maybe you wanna come out and drink. Saturday/Sunday get to the dropzone nice and early and jump all day.

    Yea thats sucks, I would probably keep it safe at just stay with the 175 rather than try to downsize. It always seems like the best deals are never the size you need/want. I know next year I'll have plenty of money so I plan to get something safe, even if its slow, and then treat myself next year to new gear in the size I want.

    I was thinking like mid June

    Sounds awesome. You live in New Orleans right? How far is the DZ from there? Idk how big of a city it is but I would want to go out at night and sightsee and stuff. Idk if you'd be home or down to go to the DZ with me.

    I didn't get gear yet, haven't even jumped since November. I'm going to our Safety Day in 2 weeks and getting back into it. I already have $ for an alti and helmet that I got for Christmas. I am going to check out used rigs at our proshop and get a loan form my parents.
