I'm getting ready to head to Couch Freaks ( hehehe ) and a raft dive is definitely in my plans. I have been on one successful raft dive where we put the rope completely through all the plastic holes and one unsuccessful raft dive where we put the rope individually through each separate hole and it blew apart right on exit. So.... I was wondering if any one had any tips on raft dives they have been on? any info would be great!!! If God wanted man to stay on the ground.

No I do not have the riser inserts. Thats something I will keep in mind to get and my rigger said we could put them on later if I choose. If God wanted man to stay on the ground. He would of put roots on them instead of feet. loving life GO-N-UP

Alright, so I don't post much on here but I'll share this with everyone... After years and years of jumping a sabre 107 and not wanting to get a elliptical because of the spin up line twist have to cut away possibility. I tested out a velocity 96 and loved the openings and the landings are fun. I decide I should retire the ol' ragged out sabre that has thousands of jumps on it and get a new parachute, which I haven't had in 11 years. So here I've been jumping it for about 3 weeks now and I had line twist on it one other time and they were fine. I guess just learning how to sit right in the saddle as it opens and not grab riser as it opens. Well, on the 4th of July I had line twist again and I thought for a brief second I could clear them but HERE WE GO!! That parachute took off like crazy!!!! Now It wasn't my first malfunction, having 3 previous sport mals and 14 tandem mals. But let me tell you I have never experienced any thing like that..... So I put my hands on my handles and went to pull the cut away and it was a really hard pull so I had to take my hand off the reserve to help pull the cut away and with no rsl (had it taken off for video jumps) had to get to the reserve and pull ( heart pounding really fast) I was still open under reserve by 2k, because I pull higher jumping a new canopy. I suffered a riser smack on my face and neck and a really hard opening on the reserve. I'll get back on the saddle and Im sure it won't be the last time that ever happens but now I think I want my rsl put back on and I know everyone has there opinions on rsl's, and also maybe get a different reserve that lands nicer than the dash M. WOW, what an experience.. Thanks Mark for the save and getting the main back after I just wanted to get back to the dropzone and land after that, and Geno for retrieving my free back out of the tree..... your captain is on its way!!!
