NexGenSkydiver 0 #5 February 12, 2009 Shaffer* I had one like that, but on my katana, lol! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piahenzi 0 #6 February 12, 2009 Sorry babe about the spelling! yeah, those line twists suck. I have it all on video too. I had a little more altitude to play with but it wasn't getting any better and we were soooo far out - made it back under the reserve (thanks PD!) and finished the Video. THEN went back and found it all... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #7 February 12, 2009 My last chop looked like that, except for the colors and a full RDS. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piahenzi 0 #8 February 12, 2009 I always second guess whether I could have salvaged it... just didn't wanna cooperate...I lived, that's justification enough I guess.. Are we going to see you in Zhills??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frost 1 #10 February 12, 2009 Why just Velo? Sigh... ok this is not me, but this is a GREAT shot of Jimmy T at PD Challenge http://www.performancedesigns.com/pdzone/images/Galleries/PD_Fastrax_challenge/PD-Fastrax%20Challenge/images/img_1526.jpg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #11 February 12, 2009 Nope, once again I'm not going to make it to FL this year. Too many things going on this year. I only have every other weekend off of work, so that makes it suck even more. I have a one revolution rule with my main. If I can't arrest the spin in a revolution (after not controlling the opening before allowing the canopy to become uneven), then its gone. Its a little extreme for most folks, but I lot altitude awareness in spinning linetwists and damned near spun in about 6 years ago.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

piahenzi 0 #12 February 12, 2009 I lost alt awareness in CO - spent almost 2.5K getting them out and realized I never look at my alti the whole time.. and was approaching my hard deck when they finally came out ( it was flying straight at least) I wasn't terrified until I realized my altitude awareness was -0-.... THAT chop pictured was after the CO experience... sorry we wont see you in FL this year. Hopefully I can make it down to TX Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWPoul 1 #15 February 12, 2009 Every time, I see a top canopy (flying by a good pilot) in such odd color - I remember the scene frome some action movie, where the Hero has defeat the bad guy told to the girl: "you know, how recognize the bad guy? only the scoundrel can do THIS with a good car!" and show her the bad guy's GREEN ferrari Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?

NWPoul 1 #19 February 12, 2009 Not a worse variant;) I've seen really ugly velos:) I gues it was an gift from one's enemies, who chipped in for a canopy with such ugly colors for their victim)Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

piahenzi 0 #24 February 12, 2009 Since this turned into a different thread and the poor JVX guys haven't gotten any play, I am adding one I took of Shatalov in CO. I think it's pretty good. Sorry for the small res but you get the idea... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frost 1 #25 February 12, 2009 aw, i feel almost like a rock star, people are posting pics of me! Not quite Shane or AggieDave's caliber though, more like a mini rock star. Like the diet coke of swoop stars - one calorie, not quite swooperish enough. Hence the small resolution. P.S. there is a swoop pic thread already.
