first getting a new canopy doesn't mean you are ready to start going for gates. GET CANOPY COACHING! seriously. but if you really want to get into competitive swooping. Start here. http://swoopleague.com/historyabout/rules-courses/

i thought that turned out to not be off everest but a cliff near by and the name everest was used to get more attention.

i know but on this site you have to ask. i jump a full rds already on my velo. i don't compete and the benefits i get from it are what you mentioned, visibility for safety and i've experienced better openings with full rds. edit: what i should have asked is when you order one, is a rds an option?

can you use a full RDS or just a removable slider? guessing yes but have to ask. and any idea about what standard sizes it will come in.

Agreed. From the description given it sounded like a competitor to a PD Storm, and since I was looking at buying a Storm I decided to see what a JVX is in comparison. From the website: "The JVX is the first competition swoop canopy designed for rear riser flight!" How is something which is a step up from that an everyday canopy? Unless you like taking a Formula 1 car to work and to get groceries. "She’s a 7-cell (21-chamber) crossbraced performance wing designed using Petra technology and shaping" Really?

yep. no extra lights but the moon. super fun and super scary too. solo hnp.

ask someone not on the internet. maybe someone at your dz, like your instructors.

i call bullshit. no real info, just like your profile. where do you jump? did you talk to the dzo about it? guessing you didn't.

does the toronto mayor jail rape victims? ???? females in UAE have been put in prison for being raped. google it.

does the toronto mayor jail rape victims?

with full rds you will always get some line burn. i'm guessing it's on your center cell top skin near the tail?

i wonder if his packer still has his hands?

in the skydiving world we don't use anything like that but in base jumping for static line jumps break cord is used. it's 80 pound break cord.

1/3rd of the people on the old TX record were on the jump he fucked up. records are meant to be broken. they would have spent that money on skydiving anyways.

second repost. lock it down

this is the funny part to me. all "texans" which i'm pretty sure simon is not from texas originally. also the last texas record had folks from out of state, including Cali pricks. Also that he "was" on the list for the Cali HD record in a week from now. i like that he stood up for something but he went about it all wrong.

The Texas headdown record. It wasn't a planned record event until right before the jump, it was the Live Bigz event but that doesn't change anything. Also they went back up without him and set the record at 34. Its funny, he said "these Cali fucks stealing our record" when he's on the list for the upcoming Cali record. Also a Cali jumper came to texas to help organize the last texas record.

it's no joke. from my understanding he was not flying safe on purpose to sabotage the record and almost got his ass kicked for his actions and after getting up from the fetal position, he was "asked to leave" and then posted to facebook the message in the pic in the op. edit: the B-Team, if you know them, had nothing to do with this it's just where he posted.

i've seen freebags come down floating with the pc inflated and i've seen them fall spring down and not much drift.

Can you give info on container size, main size, and did you do a drop test or just slowly pick it up off the floor? you really should provide this info before making a post like this.

tandems go up in videos i see on the youtube

i bought a slightly used para concepts RDS and had one of the lanyards come off. i just had my rigger bartack back on and bartack the other one too. other than that no problems with my para-concept RDS.

Gotcha. yeah it helps to read the whole thread before posting. you think with all your experience chuck you would know that. you must have been busy talking down to people.

where did wingsuit base come in on that list?
