I just have to share this with somebody, and hope to find someone in the same mood ;-) Two years ago I served in the italian paratroops, and jumped the military way: 500 meters high (REALLY LOW!), round canopy with static line, no canopy control, no brakes. This weekend I did my first 3 jumps with a wing canopy from 1200 meters (still static line). Guys, it is GREAT. It is FANTASTIC. You feel extremely good. If anyone has wondered about skydiving, well, I have only a thing to say: GO AND DO IT! Marco "Whuffo you jump out of them airplanes?"
