Guess what ? S.H. is toast. blue skies

Hey spencer, how's it going? I'm in the same boat you are. I started out on the 265's for about 25 jumps and than went to a 220 tri for a few jumps and than to a flight concepts 190 pro for 4 jumps to a 190 tri for 2 jumps.The difference is that in full forward drive the flare on the tri's kinda drops you right on the spot, while the flare on the pro kinda does a little turf surf thing. The funny thing is I never had any stand up landings until I started Jumping the smaller canopy's, which by the way I'm loading at 1.1-1.2 go figure. My first canopy is a 190 p.d. saber 2 which I have yet to jump, hopefully next weekend. (BEER) I hope you resolve your canopy issues successfully. As for me however, judging from the posts in this forum if I'm not F**ked up now I soon will be.blue skies

Infinity rocks, good luck on whatever you buy. blue skies

Call ralf at western parachute sales, he'll hoke you up with the canopy and the video. blue skies

Just my 2$ , I thing this site needs a live chat room just for this forum. blue skies

Dude, thats something worth remembering,glad it worked out for you. I on the other hand am a pessimist and have an all black container.

dude i just went thru the search for a new container. in my opinion infinity rocks, they are very well made. from what i hear they allso have the fastest turnaround time on their oders. i went new on pd reseve, main, and cypers. i scored an infinity container off the net, so i could get my rig up right away. Ralf at western parachute sales has them in stock.good luck on your search, blue skies

dude where are your mentors? If I downsized like that my coaches at sdo would shit themselfs. good luck, blue skies

ho hum , everyone allready knows the best brewpubs and\or microbrews are in Oregon.

jump number 14, pilot chute in tow. missed it on the gear check. no i didnt pack it.got lucky and found the free bag and handle ,did not cut away. blue skys

hi larry, I have alot of the same question you do . I have 25 jumps and my dz just moved me off student gear to rental gear "265 falcon to 220 triathlon." In the meantime I jumped at three other dropzones to see other types of gear.A word of caution one of my boogies ended in my first reserve ride, not all dzs are the sameor will look after you as well as the people who trained you.I just read everything I can get my hands on and fly every strange rig conservitely.good luck blue skys.
