DJmikeD 0 #1 October 27, 2006 Well the new Gear came in and wanted to get your opinions on it. It flys Great and had a chance to put a couple jumps on it today. It is an infinity Rig with a Fusion 190 main, with a PD 176 Reserve. Tell me what you think of the color combo.

Elisha 1 #3 October 27, 2006 You kinda broke the no more than 3 colors rule, but both are shades of gray. Looks great. Your combos are rather unique. Glad you like it. Looking at your first picture though, I think your bumper suit may be too tight! Can you fall slower than the 130+ I fell with you on Labor day?

DJmikeD 0 #4 October 27, 2006 Yes I have my speed down to around 115 on a good day. with this suit and the cord system I have more control but I still have to work on the speed.

Others may consider this blasphemy, but you don't need to buy beer that costs that much.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZigZagMarquis 8 #10 October 27, 2006 Quoteahh Man forgot about the beer thing. I just spent 6000 do I have to spend another 30 on beer? I think the rule is 10% of the new rig's purchase price should then be spent on beer... otherwise, the beer Gods will be angry and you'll suffer hard openings and biffed landings.

DJmikeD 0 #14 October 30, 2006 thanks elisha, Well I have to say that I like the colors and that is who I was buying them for. did not want them to be like any others out there. Besides I see exactly where I am at in the video on big dives. This of all sports is one that you can not take your self to seriously. If you do you will forget about the important aspects of the sport like checking your gear.

kaerodyne 0 #17 October 30, 2006 Nice rig ..... (wish it was an Icon) All I see is that Neil might have lost a little weight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elisha 1 #18 October 30, 2006 QuoteNice rig ..... (wish it was an Icon) All I see is that Neil might have lost a little weight Nah, then those colors would make it even uglier.

jumpdr 0 #19 October 31, 2006 Just interested to know why you went for a green cutaway pad and then a red reserve handle? My logic would have them the other way round - red for 'emergency' and green for 'go reserve'. On my rig (still waiting for it to arrive) I've gone for both red - theory being my reserve drills are so ingrained I would automatically pull the right hand first.Skydiving is more than a sport and more than a job: skydiving is pure passion and desire which will fill a lifetime.

DJmikeD 0 #20 October 31, 2006 well my thought was if I look down in a panic and see red that means stop, Pull the other one dummy. then pull the red. or Pull the green - green light go - start the fall Pull the red - Red light stop - stop the fall. I really dont think I will ever look at them when I pull them but I might. I make sure that every time I get in line to load up in the plain I go threw the drill and also right before I Jump. over the years it will be in my Genetic Code.

brianfry713 0 #21 October 31, 2006 Congrats on the new rig. I look forward to drinking on of those 's. I've spent lots of $ on DZ , but I drink lots of other people's there as well. You'll definitely be easy to spot with that neon green. Try to keep it out of the dirt. I had my '05 Infinity scotch guarded because I have some white on it. I love my Infinity, and my PD 160 Reserve flew great when I needed it. Don't worry if you fall a little faster than Elisha, he's floaty. I'll see you at Skydance some time.
