    Luckily there's a web archive website that has that page in its cache:

    http://web.archive.org/web/20151030060538/http://sidsrigging.com/articles/greed.htm

    There ya go.

    I'll add the following based on how I pack, which is using a reverse S fold method since I got a brand new canopy at jump 100. Every jump I've packed since then for every canopy has been with that method.

     

    In that link the canopy is folded in half, then the attachment point end is folded over, and all that put in the bag with the label end still to be done. When I pack I break it down even more, making it possibly even easier.

     

    I fold the canopy in half as in the second picture, then put that in the bag. I then put the attachment point end in the bag, and because that is the only bit going in the bag at that stage, I can make sure it fills the bag right to the corners. That then gets me to the same stage as picture 4 in the link. The rest I do the same. For me the fact that you are only handling 1/2 the canopy at a time, means it is much easier to get it in the bag in stages.

     

    I've not had a problem packing since I got used to doing this method, and that includes packing a 120 ish sized canopy in a bag for a 100 size canopy for short term use. Very tight, but it got there without notable issues.

    Thanks! I manage to find somewhere what reverse s fold means… after some practice im able to fold it now.. wohoo :)

    First fifty or so jumps on my new canopy, I psycho packed it. Seemed to offer more control. Here's a video that may help, but always discuss with a rigger, never take advice off of the internet, go to the PIA conference before you do anything new,  yadda yadda yadda 

     

     

    I saw this before posting but i wasn't feel comfortable to practice it.. :)… i newer saw anyone at dz doing it...
