  1. here's the deal Chris. The hosting company split into two companies and sent me an email asking if I wanted to stay with the originators or be switched. There was a deadline to respond - unfortunately nobody told Hurricane Frances of this deadline and I lost power, phones, internet connection just long enough to miss it. Now I'm having to switch accounts, servers yada yada, HOWEVER!!!!!!! There are new pics loaded and ready to go up and the site should be active in about 24 hours Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

  7. Lori, I know people who psycho pack and have great openings, but I still encourage people to just persevere and learn pro-packing. It's just technique, and that comes with practice. The P.R.O. pack keeps the canopy on heading and becomes really easy after a few practices. Keep at it, if you need any help pm me and I'll see what I can do (of course you may have to wait until this damn hurricane passes through ) Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?
  8. Pleased to help. The idea is to use everything, knees, arms, elbows, but only exert energy where it's needed at the time. I see people struggling and shaking, when all they need to do is focus and control the canopy and push it in the bag. Keep at it, I promise it does get easier......www.packingparachutes.com Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

  20. When you pack up the main on an Infinity, do you place the main risers on top of the reserve riser cover flap (like on a V3) or do you tuck them underneath and place them on top of the reserve risers?

  25. On Sunday we had the local paper here - The Ithaca Journal - to do a piece on skydiving. They did a half way decent job (they just didn't mention me is all ) - but greed got his photo published (with a credit) and the article read well. They didn't even panic over the cutaway that happened on the same load
