grosfion 0 #2 October 5, 2006 no problems on the security issue from me (always stays in place). you just need to get used to the shape after jumping a hacky... blues, Marcus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hparrish 0 #3 October 5, 2006 Micron is an excellent rig for freeflying. I don't jump one but I looked at them very closely, and they are very freefly friendly rigs. BOC Hackey and BOC Freefly handle are simply personal decisions. Hackey you pull and throw, Handle you peel, pull, and throw. If the BOC spandex is tight and wll maintained a hackey is just fine. Not sure about the Micron, but some BOC Handles are attached to the pilot chute which slides into the BOC Pouch. But some Freefly handle systems are PUDs, which the Pilot Chute is attached to the Bridle and tucked under the main closing flaps. This is a completely different deployment system, and a little more than just preference. The deployment process is much different between a PUD and BOC. I'd double check and make sure you know which it is and what your preference is based on that. Both are Freefly friendly. Later, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #4 October 5, 2006 The Micron has a BOC with a freefly handle that is sewn to the top of the PC with a lip that slides under the flap on the right. All in all a really good system. It'll take a couple of jumps to get used to the feel and shape of the handle, after that you'll wonder why you ever jumped with anything else.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

ruido 0 #5 October 5, 2006 i've already received my micron (v306) and i ordered a pull out system but the sent me a boc with free fly handle. i'm really paranoid about premature deployment, i got taken out last summer by someone elses. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hparrish 0 #6 October 8, 2006 Yeah that's why I mentioned the difference between BOC Handle and PUD. Sometimes people want one or the other and don't realize the difference. It's always a good idea to clarify, or you might get something other than what you wanted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
