Hope you like crow!

Look elsewhere troll!

I believe PD has a video explaining the differances.

It doesn't list you as a Canopy Coach.

Enjoy the down time you're going to have with that broken leg!

Jump Shack did indeed produce the initial run of FireBolt main canopies with a no stich fingertrap. I know, I used to own one.

I think Oklahoma Skydiving Center is located closer to Rt 66. Andy Beck is the DZO. Give him a call!

Try a PD PULSE. I have them in both my Racers and love them! Easy to pack and pretty much a no brainer when flaring. When you want to down-size you'll have no problem re-selling it as long as it's taken care of. I'm loading my 190's at 1.3 and have no problems with landings!! My exit weight with gear is around 260 so that should give you some idea of performance. Stay away from the FireBolt....had 4 sold 4! Before you buy, try. PD has a canopy demo program as does JumpShack. Delivery time from JumpShack is around 5-6 weeks so you can wait till you weight comes down. PS, Their AngleFire reserve is great. I have one ride one mine and stood it up in the peas!

DZO, Pilot and Skydiver. Threw my butt out of a plane for the first time in 76. Blue skies!!

Current delivery time for a Racer IS 6-8 weeks.

It had to be the mid-seventies! I started in 76 which seemed to be a transition period for gear. Canopies of all sizes and shapes filled the air. Dc-3, Twin beech's filled with RW jumpers and C-180's putting out students. Almost all jumpers seemed to own a van of some sort for after jumping "partying"! Being invited on a load was the ultimate acceptance, you are now a real skydiver! Yep, the mid-seventies was it for me!!

NOT listed in DZ.Com's list as a Otter DZ!

There's NO DZ in Wisconsin that adverts a twin Otter let alone 3! Otters used in the episode are from SDC. I think that episode was BS!

Try Jump Shacks Shadow Racer. Custom built in about 3-4 weeks.

Order a pair of risers from Jump Shack with snap toggles. You'll never have a brake fire AND you'll be able to do what you want with your slider!

RIP Bill!

Black Widow crappie pole. Most major sporting goods stores carry it!

What Wolfriverjoe said.

Everything goes good with a cracker!

Have ChrisD notify NatGeo of the problem. That is total BS!!!

I don't know if anyone is operating a C-182 with 5 but I happened to find an ad in August 81 issue of Skydiving: New Airah 6 place C-182's with FAA approval for this configuration.

Staples has those buttons!

Have to disagree! I made my first jump on my 16th birthday in 1976 and have been jumping ever since!! Her age had absolutely nothing to do with this accident. I know, I was there!

I love the Pulse. Packs small flies great and landings are a no brainer! PD has a demo program. Get with them and request a demo Pulse.

Wow, very cool! Thanks for posting. I had the chance to jump a Volplane many years ago in Florida but was warned off because it opened so hard. Wish I taken the chance and jumped it!
