In this social media society, the Go Pro is seductive, yet it’s oh-so-risky. For all you rebels at heart, those willing to learn, and especially those with less than 200 jumps [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I&#8217;m a nutrition enthusiast and an athlete. I studied two years of Nutrition at the University of Hawaii Maui College, done a dizzying amount of online studies and experimented at home trying to find a balance of healthy, eco friendly, eating. After years of self-study, I&#8217;ve finally found what works for me. You can [...]]]></description>

I went from hardly being able to step on a 1 inch line inches above the ground, holding Emily’s hand while I find my balance, to confidently stepping up a foot higher and walking all the way across, falling [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I believe one of the most important elements in skydive training is the topic of “CANOPY.” In my last article, “Look At Me – Canopy Awareness Tips”, we cover many areas that we can be more diligent in canopy planning, including the Landing Pattern. So this article will discuss how we can more effectively [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Aviation weather uses the compass rose to determine wind direction. This blog is to clear the mystery of the numbers that identify winds. The compass rose is based on a circumference of 360°. Therefore, we identify North by 0° (or 360°), East 90°, South 180°, and West 270°. Another note about describing winds in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Winter is upon us, but spring is creeping around the corner. Some of us skydivers have to hibernate or bury ourselves in work and count the days until their home DZ reopens. Not all of us can afford to travel to a winter destination DZ.

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; It was the winter of 2003, and I was alone in the 46,000-sqaure foot hangar called Skydive Chicago – bored. The temperatures neared freezing levels, snow covered the Skydive Chicago landing area in white, and the hallways were empty of eager skydivers.
