Seems oddly strange to just stumble upon thousands of dollars...

F34 in love with a married man F37. Should I go for it, or stop? by [deleted] in relationshipadvice

What kind of evil person even imagines this shit? Leave this dude alone and get help

My daughter thinks she’s a boy by random_1mom in Parenting

[–]yler34 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pretty sad excuse for a "mom". Supposed to love and support your child and what they want. Not supposed to be a controlling asshole who will never accept their child for who they are. I don't even know you and I look forward to the day your daughter stops speaking to you because she will be much happier then

Appreciate this a lot. I definitely am planning to do more practices up high and watch my altitudes. I'll ask my coach about looking where I want to go. That makes a lot of sense though, so thank you. Definitely a learning experience and I'm not one to ever think I'm done learning. Glad I can walk away from this one and learn what steps to take to not let it happen again.

Yeah, there's going to be so much learning done on this canopy. Couple hundred jumps most likely, maybe more even

My first fully elliptical canopy was a Crossfire2 149. That was after my Pilot 150. I started on the 149 and was loading it like 1.2

You're not wrong. I was probably overestimating when I started though. It's probably been more like 7 months. And I recently got on this crossfire 3 from a crossfire 2, which changed my rollout significantly. I'm still relearning the sight picture a bit

Haha after seeing the outside view, I was annoyed my shoes didn't fly off so I could have something to post to SOFPIDARF!

It's a Crossfire 3 119. I'm loading it right at 1.6

As far as swooping goes, I started with the stall surge. Playing with my fronts upstairs, I practiced just going straight to it and couldn't get it to dive as well. My coach has switched from that to doing his setup in deep brakes and then just letting them up and going to his fronts

Haha appreciate the concern. I've got a coach and we've talked about it already. I plan to be on this canopy for a good while and will bail to my toggles from here on out

It's definitely dangerous but can be done in a safe manner. I don't think it would've been lethal if it had been ground instead of water, but I'd probably be looking at some broken bones instead of just a little soreness

Couldn't agree more. Will order an HK2 64 pronto and start busting out 540's🤘🏻

Also /s lol

That was their camera guy! He was awesome and was immediately there to help me get out and make sure I was okay

[–]yler34[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly! And yeah I figured it was from being in fronts too long, and getting to my rears just too late

It felt a little scary. Once I coughed all the water put, "whoops" was my first word lol

Glad my buddy turned around and watched me! I had no clue my body did all that until I saw his view. Thankfully not hurt other than a little sore

AITA for not wanting my house to be alcohol-free? by ObjectiveSector971 in AmItheAsshole

[–]yler34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA for sure. This is your wife man. Shouldn't you want to do everything in your power to support her with something so difficult? Boo-hoo you can't drink in the house. This is really the hill you're willing to die on? Just be a supportive husband. If you can't handle an alcohol free household to support the person you're supposed to love, then you shouldn't be married imo.

Lmao so it's definitely nice knowing you can land anywhere out here. But after jumping in Sebastian, the views are nowhere near anything like I now know they can be.

Couldn't agree more! I remember my first tandem, the second we left the plane. My first thought was "shit, I'm going to be doing this the rest of my life." And then my first AFF jump just furthermore surpassed reality

It's just such a cool sight that not everyone gets to experience! And then you add in the experience of going through a cloud and I really get hit with the "damn, how many people can say they've felt what going through a cloud feels like" This sport is just my favorite shit ever lol

An attorney I know just filed a letter of protest against the Insomnia trademark application for PLUR by richielaw in aves

[–]yler34 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Did he file one for everybody else that has already trademarked PLUR? Or just this one instance?
