  1. you should of had the Jump Shack rep bring it you know how UPS can lose stuff. They lost 2 cypres last week both returning from 8 year damn now I have 2 new cypres 2 hehehehehe Uncle/GrandPapa Whit Unico Rodriguez # 245 Muff Brother # 2421
  2. The add on Ebay says the reserve handle says OH CRAP not the reserve. It should be easy to contact Mirage to see who that rig was made for. That doesn't mean you paid the person mirage made it for but it is a start. Always get the Serial ## and send your payment US mail as it becomes a federal offense if they cash it and dont send you the product you purchase. It is Mail fraud and the post master likes to go after people nothing else to do I guess. Chris. Uncle/GrandPapa Whit Unico Rodriguez # 245 Muff Brother # 2421
  3. America's Most Wanted is looking for him. www.amw.com If you have any info please contact AMW Chris Uncle/GrandPapa Whit Unico Rodriguez # 245 Muff Brother # 2421
  4. A student has more of a chance being injured or killed by a TM who had one to many last night than getting HIV from you. You dont see those TM sitting their ass on the ground in the morning. The ones that are on meds dont post it on the bord next to the winds aloft so the students can make an informed decission. If you feel you can be safe and take that little extra care we should all be tacking with someone else life you should Keep doing Tandems as long as you feel healthy. Which will be a very very long time. KEEP doing what you love . Peace Love And Support Chris Whitley Uncle/GrandPapa Whit Unico Rodriguez # 245 Muff Brother # 2421

  10. Hey Michelle, As a Tandem Instructer I see things from a different perspective. It is about helping you to feel confident in my skill as a skydiver. To let you know that I have a family that I will be going home to them after our skydive. That my sole purpose during our time together is to return you safely to this earth with one of the greatest experiances of your life. If you cant stop thinking about it then it will cause anxiety in your life until you do it. It did for me until 6 1/2 years ago when I made my first skydive. Hope this helps. Peace Chris
  11. A drouge is an ancher so when released you will accellerate until line stretch On any system, some are more pronounced than others because the drouge is collapsed line stretch takes longer, but it is there on all systems. I have discussed this with my video guys in the past and agree with ( drouge out pull the drouge release, no drouge pull the reserve ) m2c Chris Uncle/GrandPapa Whit Unico Rodriguez # 245 Muff Brother # 2421
  12. What I wear depends on the size of the student, video, no video, the landing area, what the student choses to wear, temprature, who is shooting video and the winds. I have several options from a jacket for head up on light passengers with video all the way to a super baggy freefly for the really large students to nithing at all for level 2 and 3 tandem progression so the student has more control. 547 tandems Just my 2cents Uncle/GrandPapa Whit Unico Rodriguez # 245 Muff Brother # 2421
  13. I need a website for this company and info on thier helmets Uncle/GrandPapa Whit Unico Rodriguez # 245 Muff Brother # 2421
  14. My routine is to hook the 2 lowers up at 2500 when the seat belt comes off then at 10.5 I hook the uppers and tighten the lowers. Exit @ 13.5. Hope this helps Chris Uncle/GrandPapa Whit Unico Rodriguez # 245 Muff Brother # 2421
  15. I will ask the passenger what they want to do. IT THEY WANT TO FLY THE CANOPY AND HELP LAND i WILL LET THEM. I make my mind up above 1500 as to weather they are responding to my commands. I will have them remove their hands if they aren't heads up. I can and will land them up to 300lbs by myself but I like to involve the passenger when possible if they want.

  19. There is no info in the first post to suggest that this was any kind of manufacturing error. In fact there isn't enough info to make any sort of hypothesis concerning this canopy or this skydive. M2C Chris Uncle/GrandPapa Whit Unico Rodriguez # 245 Muff Brother # 2421
