I have had 13 since I started in85 out of 2500 .I had back to back only once. If you have a large person no wind hot you know all the bestthings. I found you can have them put their hands in the reserve toggles. You can then put your hands over the top with the lines between your middle and ring fingers and push down together. We have PD tandem reserves they are great. the HI Lifter was a nuisance. I only had one guy go beserk all the otherssaid wow I got two freefalls attitude.I hope this helps..
Nice job rhys,
Remember me????

Congrats!
I had my first last thursday on my 9th training jump, 1 jump before my tandemmaster exam... :) Lol, it was the first reserve ever for my passenger (experienced jumper). He's a senior rigger and never used a reserve.. :D Now he did... I wonder if it was his packjob btw...
It was the famous line over on the EZ, tried to "pump it out" with the steeringline but it was almost on the center cell. Could stop the turn, but was not interested in landing it...
So choped it. (almost forgot to peel reserve, but the force needed to pull it reminded me.... 
) Very ackward feeling, falling straight down, like a balloon jump. And thought the RSL would activate the reserve a lot sooner, but probably took some time because it was a low speed mal. Also it's very handy to have an experienced (though I think you were a bit scared (if you read this.. ;) ) passenger when you have your hands full of handles... :P

If you're good at it and continue to jump, you'll see a lot of friends die...

I'm sure it was a conspiracy

Why do the EZs get so many lineovers? The last dz I worked at that had those were getting lineovers usually every 50-80 jumps, but 3 out of 4 times they could be cleared. They even tried flat packing them for a while but were still getting lineovers.

I dunno? i know there are two designs of EZ, the one i am using at the moment is of the newer design and opens a bit slower. i do not know if the newer or older design have any more chance of malfunction but i havn't had a hard opening on the one i am jumping.
i was told that flat packing them helps too but i am pro packing this one. proper ram-air orientation seems better than packing an off heading opening to me.
I'll be on Sigma conopies next week though at my new DZ
