I doubt it applies in Slovakia not for foreign jumpers anyway. I have been to the Slovak Air Boogie many, many times I know there procedure. When you there ask Milo to inspect your gear and check you in. He is the chief insturctor at the dz and is well respected throughout Europe.

Try Maurici Park, nice aparatments across the street from Drop Zone. Contact DZ for availability.

I'm a skydiver from Malta and I subscribe to both Parachutist and Skydiving. Skydiving is by far better. It is much more informative and interesting to read. Parachutist has a few good articles but is mainly full of Ads.

You want to jump a Monarch? Check this out: http://www.angelfire.com/il/nickdancona/Monarch.html

grommets are only on one riser, not on both sides.

oops fogot the pics, here they are:

I uploaded some pics of my risers. I can't understand what the 'button' grommet is for on the backside of my right front riser?? Seen is pic no.3

Hi, i have finally got a new computer and now i would like to install a firewire card to edit all my skydiving footage. My local computer store has the following: http://www.conceptronic.net/site/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabindex=1&tabid=200&Cat=30&grp=3020&ar=195&Prod_ID=732&Prod=Ci1394B It is cheap so I was wandering if it is any good????

From my knowledge there was an issue with risers not releasing when reversed/integrity risers came out. The problem was then solved by moving the placing the large ring higher up. (If I am not mistaken). What I would like to know is whether my rig was from the first batch or from the amended batch.

Hey, I just acquired an Atom 00 from my friend who is no longer jumping. It is in very good condition with less than 300jumps. See pic. I got it complete, for a real good price. Main canopy is a BT 140 and Tecno 120 reserve. I have never owned PDF equipment before and I was just wandering what the comments are about this container etc.. Everything was manufactured in 96. Were any safety warnings issued for this equipment in the past years? The container has reversed risers, is this design ok? Would it be possible to switch them to standard risers, with riser inserts preferably?? It is cool to see how innovative PDF is. I've even got velcroless toggles - not bad for a container manufactured in 96. Looking forward to your comments.

Wow, the sudden interest in my canopy!! Everybody seems to want it. I received another email from a guy called Theory Ramy. I did a search on yahoo on this name and low and behold I came up with the following website: http://www.virtualjeepclub.com/printthread.php?t=6605 Looks like these scam artists try and buy just about anything thats for sale on the internet.

mjosparky - where did you jump those planes? I have also jumped the same planes in Slovakia

A friend of mine inherited a container. It is in nice condition, modern, freefly friendly, etc.. This container has the standard, large risers and large 3-ring. He asked me a question which i didn't really know the answer to. He wanted to know if there is any possible way to change a harness fitted with large rings to mini rings. Obviously there is no reason to do this other than aesthetics, but i began wandering whether this is possible without violating the TSO or structural integrity of the harness.

Are you doing AFF with Milo??

After you open the music will deafen you. Your mp3 player will probably be stashed somwhere in your jumpsuit and you will find yourself frantically trying to get at it to turn it off. Make sure you can put up with screaming loud music and at the same time check for canopy traffic, etc..

I have a canopy with those colours. Visit: http://www.angelfire.com/il/nickdancona/Monarch.html

I live in Malta and I am one of about 3 skydivers here. So I have to send my canopy somewhere as i cant get the work done here unless I do it myself. Postage is pretty much the same for most of Europe so it doesnt really matter where I send it. I am just looking for someone reputable.

I had a reserve which was installed incorrectly. Two lines were overlapping the other lines. They were put onto the link in the wrong order. This rig went through a rerve repack 3 times until it was finally noticed after I switched riggers. Did about 100 jumps with my gear like this.

I have a Stiletto 150 which could probably do with a reline. Can anyone suggest any good riggers or rigging lofts in Europe where i can get this done. I don't want to pay all that money to send my canopy all the way to the U.S. What is the going rate for a reline??

Thanks

Maybe he's seen the Frankenotter and that's the reason for his attitude!
