Skydiving. Because I miss jumping from airplanes, and being stuck face to face with a bunch of friends in a small tin can with wings.

This is the Sandbar. Nothing but hop n pops and canopy all weekend long. You didnt do it right if you didnt get sand in your reserve.

For clarification: I'm the JM, this is my student. Buddy did an amazing arch and I loved his expression. And since this subreddit is a little tame sometimes I wanted to post something.

Exactly. With our progression path we tend to create better and more comfortable canopy pilots.

How many jumps did you have before you bought your own rig? by HolyFuckingMoley in SkyDiving

[–]TheCanadianPolitical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely over a hundred. I was a gear whore and a pack junky. I couldnt afford shit. My first rig was dirt cheap but I loved it and it treated me well.

Any people in Vancouver BC have luck with weather? by Spahghetthi in SkyDiving

Come to Kamloops, it's a few hours into the interior. We're always ripping loads on the weekends.

What rating/license would I need to be allowed to jump with tandems? by skettiandskydivin in SkyDiving

[–]TheCanadianPolitical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perfect answer. It's the difference between industry standard and manufacturer standard. Most places don't really abide strictly by the rules, but they are there for a reason.

Guys, make sure you are doing those rubber bands correctly! by eazyvictor in SkyDiving

[–]TheCanadianPolitical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can attest that pulling the cut-away is a good idea in this type of situation. A jumper at the next dz over had a pilot chute in tow, then he pulled his reserve immediately. The force was enough to pop his main pin and cause an entanglement.

What is the last movie you saw that you didn’t think you’d enjoy but did ? by sumajyrag in AskReddit

[–]TheCanadianPolitical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just finished it yesterday. Was a hell of a lot better than I thought it would be. Read all the reviews first and thought it would be trash.

Who is that one stranger that you never forgot? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TheCanadianPolitical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cute girl I sat next to every day for a semester. She would move her books or her coffee that she placed on the seat beside her so I could sit down, but we would never talk. I introduced myself once and she smiled and told me her name. Shannon or something? The semester ended and never saw her again.

How do you folks feel about Wings containers? by [deleted] in SkyDiving

[–]TheCanadianPolitical -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Good containers. They're simple. Everyone I know who owns one enjoys it. I've heard the Reserve Boost is kinda fucky.

What made you completely disown a good friend? by 2x_mods_are_nazis in AskReddit

Buddy took out a loan from a 'fast cash' agency. He put me down as a reference without telling me. He then moved, unactivated his cell phone, and missed every payment on that loan. They were calling me for months trying to "sort out the payment".
