anyone here go slydiving?

I drove down to Zephyrhills, FL with a couple buddies a few years ago to get my solo, and even managed some wind tunnel time near Montreal. I eventually got hired at Skydive Gananoque to pack chutes, and loved the ability to show up to work on a Saturday and be jumping by 9am with the other staff. I would definitely be down to jump at Skydive Toronto this summer.... Oh and at 13500ft on my own (without tracking), and pulling the chute at 4000, I manage approximately 55 seconds of free fall.

I've gone to Skydive Burnaby a couple times, 14,000ft jumps both times, first 3 jumps are tandem but only 30 sec of freefall, open the chute at 6000ft for tandems.

I guess you fell extra fast

On my second jump I wore the altimeter and pulled the chute at 4000.

must have been those lead pants I was wearing!

no, you're right, I checked my log book and is says each jump was about a minute of free fall.
