Floats18 0 #27 February 1, 2007 surrrrre... feel free to judge, Jenn... Just wait until you feel the wrath as that boring engineer hunts you down under canopy and TIES YOUR MAIN IN A KNOT BEFORE YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO PROTEST!!! OH THE HORROR!! I CAN'T SLEEP ANYMORE (besides... its in a song)--- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peregrinerose 0 #28 February 1, 2007 LOL!! You know I'm going to hear the theme from Jaws in my head every time I see him under canopy now, just because of the mental image you just gave me. At least I'm extremely comfortable with my rigger, should I need to use my reserve. Do or do not, there is no try -Yoda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Floats18 0 #29 February 1, 2007 The new nitro does have a pair of dorsil fins on it... Coincidence? I doubt it... but the next time he attacks it might be with 4 linetwists I hear your rigger is a whore--- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

piisfish 135 #31 February 2, 2007 QuoteWhen was your first cutaway?sunset load after a track jump (around jump 700), opened a massive spinner (approx 3kft) with my Crossfire2 119 loaded around 1.6-1.7. Decided I 1)didn't like how it was flying 2)wouldn't be happy if I tried to fight it too low 3)wasn't sure I could get out of the twists. I cut it away around 2100ft, continued turning on my back for 2 revolutions, got on belly and opened my smallest canopy at that time (Techno 115), opened fast but not brutal, flew well, kept my handles, landed a couple feet from my freebag. A friend landed with me and my cutaway main joined us shortly after, only 50meters (150ft away)scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeth 0 #32 February 2, 2007 Jump 57. A nasty horseshoe at 12 grand. I learned to have my pin checked before exit EVERY TIME. That's not a good way to learn that lesson.

Unstable 8 #35 February 3, 2007 Jump # 426 - I did a Hop N' Pop from 2,300' with a snively sabre2 150 - one it opened (at about 1,400' I had one side in tension knots and the slider locked up about 1/2 up. I pumped on the risers a few times, and when I realized I really didn't have much time to dick around - I had a nice stable cutaway and landed my tempo150 safely. in retrospect - maybe if I would have built up some more speed before tossing It may have helped the problem, but then again when You get out at 2,300', you really don't have too many choices.=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #38 February 3, 2007 I read it as the toggle actually detached from the brake line, not that she lost her grip on the toggle."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Even if she could have steered the chute, landing it would have been a different story...for someone with 6 jumps. Bill Dause - the owner of The Parachute Center in Lodi, CA said she did everything according to plan, and her training. WAY TO GO KP!!!

My "malfunction" as stated in my original post was that the toggle came off in my hand - as in completetly detached itself from the line. Not that it slipped from my hand. I did plenty of thinking. I thought of exactly what I was taught in my training and executed the EPs accordingly.Kneepuff Girls just wanna have fuh hun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
