I guess that happens when the skyhook is hooked up and there is nothing really being pulled. That thing is damn fast! Thanks Bill and the Vector team! Oh and how can I forget PD.... great reserve. My PDR 176 flew like a dream and had great flare with no wind!Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

Gators1240 9 #3 October 19, 2010 Yeah the skyhook is crazy fast. I had to chop on jump 35 and im telling you before I could even get a hand on my reserve handle my reserve was coming out. Ended up making a normal landing too (light winds that day so I wasnt really off at all). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mchamp 1 #4 October 19, 2010 Awesome choice getting the V3 with the skyhook! One concern is 2 chops within 400 is kind of on the high side don't you think? ;)For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was flat packing and stowed the breaks too late so I got myself a double line over..... this one was all me def. body position. I went low on an 8 way bc my sorry butt has not done RW in awhile and as a late diver I forgot that when the formation builds it really slows. so I stayed in sight of the formation and then tracked off but I decided to look over my shoulder again as I dumped and presto 4-5 line twists..... then started spinning on my back and I saw 1900 on my alti..... see ya main. Shit does happen especially when you are an idiot like me. Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.
