Title: Number 10
Post by: fast1 on August 11, 2013, 11:26:15 PM

  Out of an airplane with a parachute on purpose!! Finally got to jump. Almost no flutterbys , New plane with the door removed so turbulence is less both in and out of the plane. Good exit and arch, Clean opening at 3000 feet with a good chute, above 2000 for a long time, then dead air with a Quick descent. The most awesome ride down! First time jumping in shorts and a wifebeater with sneakers. Just right. View was a bit hazy but spectacular none the less. Managed a pretty good landing plus Reconnected with my skydive friends. Good day! CHEERS.

People think you die from the impact, when the chute doesn't open.  Not true!  You actually die from suffocation, due to a lack of oxygen from the long scream on the way down.  The furthest I want to jump is from the back of the pick-up.

Aw... that's the stuff!

So much better when the door is off. Have you done any 'corkscrews' on the way down?
Had me spinning higher than my chute, the last time I tried that trick!

Try it, you'll like it,
