You're right, that is a trackball; and maybe it is handy. BUT...I'm left-handed, and as we all know, this world is anti lefties Using a trackball is hellish for me.

Although my hands aren't affected by the CP (Cerebral Palsy) I just don't trustmy hand having to reach all the way to my lower back. Our rigger and another jumper told me that I could have a rig rigged in such a way that it'll be a spring-loaded PC, and I could pull at the shoulder. Perfect solution for when I start jumping on my own.Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know that our own John Rich jumps a Racer that's rigged for a ripcord and spring-loaded PC. I'd think that your container manufacturer of choice should be able to work with you and find some sort of solution for you...good luck!!Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.
