mchamp 1 #26 September 26, 2011 So I'm guessing it was the same guy that was looking to buy a 99 ish sq ft reserve with such low jump #'s....and here I thought it sounded so desperate in classifieds he was joking especially with his jump number's. Sad to see that it was actually true, but glad he's not jumping the katana 97 since obviously he needed 50 more jumps to be qualified jkFor 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

babz 0 #29 September 26, 2011 I too have spoken to him, and tried to change his mind from jumping this canopy just yet. With no avail it would appear. Having seen the video of this jump, I'm hoping he reconsiders jumping this canopy again until he's ready. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure how many jumps he has on it now but I know not enough to be using fronts on landing like he did in that vid. This is just scary!!!Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

elias123 0 #32 September 26, 2011 He now has 6 jumps on his K97. I've also tried to change his mind, but no succes here either. I hope I don't lose my friend."In a mad world, only the mad are sane" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rigless 0 #33 September 26, 2011 Well, look how this turned out to be.. I'm not gonna comment on the personal aspects of this unlike some people in here, who don't value other persons trust in private matters, anyway.. Yes I did jump the Katana 97 at around 210+ jumps, yes I'm your typical 200 jump wonder.. It's not a forgiving canopy and it requires a lot of care from what I could gather from the jumps I did on it, truly a high performance canopy, but at the same time it's very rewarding and amazingly fun to fly, coming off a Safire2 129 I was lacking this fun and the Katana flight is how I imagined true canopy flight to be.. Still, not a place to let your guard down at any time.. Yes I'm cutting shortcuts, doing what most of you probably wouldn't do and don't want others to do or you might have done in the past, who knows, it's your choice.. I try to do everything in my power to not hurt others and look out for them, but the rest is my choice and I take full responsibility for my choices, as we all do. In all honesty and fairness with no trolling I surely don't recommend what I'm doing to anyone, take your path the way you want it, take care of others, but the rest are your choices in this life. Have fun and take care! Edit: > mchamp, no I was never looking for a 99sqft reserve, you probably mixed me with someone else, I'm pretty good with my 126 > rstanley, I think trying out double fronts is standard in canopy flight, nothing too radical here as long as you don't overdo it hehe P.S. I hope I don't whack myself like that guy did during the nationals, best wishes, hope he heals and goes a long more careful later on, but it's all up to him anyway.. "All limits are self imposed."

virgin-burner 1 #36 September 26, 2011 one would think that the girl he got the katana from should have given him a clue; since she femured on that wing. the way he's cranking on it, that's probably the best of possible outcomes for him.“Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

Wrong.... nothing about touching your fronts is "standard". You are way over your head and you may "try" to do everything you can to watch out for others but the truth is..... that is not enough. You jumping a wing that you should not be jumping even in a couple of years endangers others around you. You do not have the skills so that alone is reckless not only for yourself but others in the sky with you. It's obvious you do not really care and are going to do what you want so I will now just drop this and say I hope you do not kill yourself.... I really hope you do not kill any of my friends or other jumpers!Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

JohnMitchell 14 #46 September 28, 2011 I watched your video. You said earlier to VB you'd just do 90's, but you cranked a 180 to final, although too high. I see, obviously, that you're jumping video too. Anything else you want to stack on?It's not guaranteed you'll femur or die. Just the odds are going way up against you. Get some coaching and watch out for traffic in the pattern. I hope you survive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

virgin-burner 1 #49 September 28, 2011 only took him 60 jumps too! i think he should pre-order a velocity 75 already, so he gets it when he's ready in another 50 jumps..“Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.
