rcc 0 #1 December 2, 2005 How many jumps can you put on a HMA line set before it needs to be replaced.tell me more about the HMA line set. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skygod7777 0 #2 December 2, 2005 if it's a non cascaded lineset it will last anywhere from 6 to 8 hundred jumps. cascaded i'm not 100% because i've never seen a set wear out, but i've heard around 2 or 3 hundred jumps, but i really have no clue. later Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rcc 0 #3 December 2, 2005 Sounds good the Canopy is a VX 87,and it has about 500 jumps but the line set is HMA and bran new no jumps on it. what do you mean 17 and you rock Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skygod7777 0 #4 December 2, 2005 Quotewhat do you mean 17 and you rock it means exactly what it says..........i'm 17 years old and i rock ........but i guess i need to change my signature, i just turned 18 last week. i would find out if the lineset is cascaded or not, find out if it is a vx with the precision mods put on it or if its a vx with the jvx trim upgrades. all something to consider. later Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian drennen has his velo lined with these lines on his velo. the main problem, hell the only problem we have found with this lineset, even being cascaded, is they could tension knot easy if you dont make your line stows neat. but that really applies to all hma, "thin lines" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marks 0 #6 December 2, 2005 Quotei would find out if the lineset is cascaded or not, find out if it is a vx with the precision mods put on it or if its a vx with the jvx trim upgrades. yes, cascaded, and yes, custom line trim. and ryan, it has got about 350-400 jumps on it. not 500 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites rcc 0 #7 December 2, 2005 It is a VX line set .I don`t think it has eny mods and the only thing that has been done to it is the steering lines have been modified. that is cool that you are 18.I am 18 i turn 19 on dec 31 i have been jumping for 3 years now i have 1100 jumps now and i have a tandem rateing,and i am a coach ,and i have a free fly team called TEAM ILLUSION.how many jumps do you have and were do you jump Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skygod7777 0 #8 December 2, 2005 Quoteyes, cascaded, and yes, custom line trim. well sounds like it's too bad it's not a 94 or 95 because then i'd buy it later Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites marks 0 #9 December 2, 2005 QuoteQuoteyes, cascaded, and yes, custom line trim. well sounds like it's too bad it's not a 94 or 95 because then i'd buy it later with this line trim, it BEGS to be loaded more than yoour average vx.
