I just jumped one today. Very decent container. Some very cool features. My favorite is the riser protection. It addresses more that the riser out potential, it keeps the riser and lines away from the bottom of the reserve pack tray. It's super comfy. Enclosed reserve P/C... my fav... Check one out if you get the chance. PM me for more info. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

The producer of that commercial could be a Northern California Jumper. Unless that was some other Subway comercial she did.... ...Surely there is some hidden sarcasm there... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

I own my own gear store, and my husband resently computed my hourly rate to about $1.98/hr. Compared to the $50 - $75 / hr I used to bill in the real world. So I guess I would have to say.... .... a crazy person. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

And for you Nor Cal Jumpers: Aubrey will be at Bay Area Skydiving tomorrow with the new rig. He'll have a few demos as well. If you have any specific questions you would like answered, but can't make it to the dz yourself, then PM me and I'll get your answers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies!

I had the same attitude when I started. I figured if I was knocked out, I wouldn't feel it anyway. My first 375 jumps were cyrpes-less. Now I value my life a little more. And I had a few of my own experiences that kinda enlightened me. I've been knocked out twice in freefall. One lasted only a couple of seconds. I continued to skydive as usual. Then next put me out until my audilbe went off. I still pulled on my own accord, but it sure was nice to know that I had a backup.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Yeah. But the guy lives less than an hour away from our DZ, and it was an honest answer to an honest question ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

I sell it at Gravity Gear. Right in your back yard. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

And to think i've been freezing my buns off peeing in the ditch all this time... What's wrong with the port-a-potty? I don't even pee in my RV. Too much of a pain to go dump it. And if you don't dump it often, the joint will start to smell like the port-a-potty. So, I guess you will keep freezing your buns off ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

My last rig had triples. I put about 1000 jumps on them. Then when I got my new rig, I interviewed a lot of the factory pilots. Now I'm sold on standard risers again. I really enjoyed the triple risers for where I was at though. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

You guys at Byron... SOOOOO SUCK I have like 10 jumps since I left the Byron Boogie.. shall we say Seattle is not a great skydiving destination in NOV, DEC, JAN, FEB, MAR, APR,.. in May we get a few.. JUN it starts getting good.... about the time it starts getting WAY too hot down there. That was in Eloy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Yeah, I jump. 20 times last week. And I scold jumper in yellow suits too. I am an equal opportunity kinda person ya know? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

I have a van and an RV that are not being used on the drop zone. Just promise not to puke or urinate in them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

I guess nobody thinks I jump anymore ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

I met my husband on the drop zone. He was flying the plane. Jumps out of them too. We will have been married 4 years on Dec 27th. I've also been on the other side of this coin Doesn't matter what they do, it matters how they make you feel... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Not a continuous spiral, but do a few 360s in one direction. Stop. Then the other. In otherwords, don't get dizzy. Bleed off as much altitude as you can untile you get to a "normal" deployment altitude. Keep you eyes open. For air traffic. If you try to play with risers for 13,000 feet, you may not have enough arm strength to flare. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Yes! There is very little "real life" practice time available, so any muscle memory training, I'll take. You also get to practice not hucking your handle I have seven reserve rides. Most I saved my handles, but the last one, they were both long gone ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

By the way. This game is 90% mental. If you are not feeling confident, then ask your DZ if you can purchase a refreasher coarse pertaining to canopy flight. Once you are confident on the ground, the air is a piece of cake. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

What is your body weight and height. A guy at our DZ is selling a really big rig. It's a very new Mirage. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

He hasn't been in the 206 with me, has he? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

I think, internet is the only way to find an experienced person and to discuss the question with people who did it that is the reason of my writing here instead of experimenting on the mountain with the canopy A guy named Alex from Colorado used to do this a lot. He is an LO in Perris Valley now. Maybe you can contact him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Woa! Stop! Retract! I wasn't directing that at Jen. My fingers were just faster than I can read. And the wine..... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Perhaps rephrase that into Jen and another qualified AFF instructor. I happen to know a good one And if you want to make that TWO qualified AFF instructors, I know of another one Besides, I owe you one Roy.... or two.... or three.... How many levels do you want? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Hmmm. I sense someone has not seen the Super Bon Bon video. Eugene, I am going to force you to watch the "All about Bonnie" video this weekend. Then you can sing the right song! Super Bon-Bon, super Bon-Bon.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Actually that is what the terrain at Byron looks like! Really. I just looked at some of my own photos. They all have that jag in the terrain. Really. I would show you a pic, but, uh, I don't have a scanner. Really. Hey Shannon, I'm out of wine ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
