yes to slow the openings down. 7 cells, 370ft2...one of those big ass cells catches air and BLAMMO. "GOT LEAD?"

Not sure on your comment. I wouldnt want to jump a pack job you teach me or dont want to jump a flat pack? As far as Perris, they still wont let me jump there. I refuse to jump a XX canopy pro packed, I have had nothing but slammers and since they have been flat/roll/stack packed I have only had one hard opening and that one wasnt even close to one decent opening on one propacked. "GOT LEAD?"

So..i'm looking for someone to flat pack my XX canopy at Elsinore today. I find one of the packers there who knows how. He asks if they usually roll the nose and I say yeah just rool it over twice makes some good snivles. I watch him pack it and he does things abit differnt than the others ive seen, but it appears to accomplish the same thing. Now when he gets to the nose rolling part, he grabs half the cells and rolls them and jams them into an open cell and then does the opposite side the same way. I say, thats not what they usually do and he says dont worry you'll love it. Well, i did love it until one side opened first then spun a couple line twists. It was no biggie and more than likely it was body position, but thought i'd say i had my first line twist today. Anyway I let him pack it again and we will see the next time I jump. I am not bitching about his pack job! Just that when i saw it packed differently and then line twists i thought "Yeah I do love this shit man" thanks! "GOT LEAD?"

I've had several questions about being able to get the reserve packed. Jay Stokes looked it over when i first got it, I talked to him today and he said he'd pack the reserve if that became an issue for someone. If anyone knows these things he does. So "buyer beware" isnt an issue. "GOT LEAD?"

yea its mine on Ebay thats for sale, and I gaurantee it airworthy. Who ever buys it has the option to have it inspected (which they should anyway), with the option of refund if proved not to be. "GOT LEAD?"

Sorry man, just thought the more the merrier. "GOT LEAD?"

he wasnt being rude tim...we just made the deal this second "GOT LEAD?"

Anybody besides Sparky? "GOT LEAD?"

I heard something about a FIRST. BEER!!!!!! congrats on the new season. "GOT LEAD?"

I do believe it was me...I tried to send the pics again but your email address didnt work. "GOT LEAD?"

what are you sorry for?????? The guy is just an idiot....and....he'll see me eventually "GOT LEAD?"

If you've done two tandems then you will not have a problem doing AFF (so you can get your license). Just go back to the dz/DZ's you did your tandems at "GOT LEAD?"

Sparky?....anybody? "GOT LEAD?"

gurly..unless you have put on weight and got over 300 lbs you wont have a problem Unlike us stinky, sweaty, and unsafe jumpers out there. ( oh yeah i'm still pissed) "GOT LEAD?"

And if you dont know him SPARKY ROCKS!!! not hijacking the thread I promise. "GOT LEAD?"

I personally still pull at 5k but will go to 4.5 if needed. I just dont feel comfortable below that. I have been thinking that 4k would be ok but have yet to go that low. I will admit that my last jump I dumped somewhere between 4.3-5k, got to pull alti..and for some reason felt really comfortable (not too comfortable) and dumped somewhere around there. I guess i'm saying i'm getting more comfortable and imagine 4k is right around the corner. "GOT LEAD?"

tell you what, I will laugh at you and you can laugh at me while I go in there and just lay on the net while they pin the trottle on that puppy, I bought 10 minutes awhile back and about 8 of those ten were on the net and they had the bitch wide open. "GOT LEAD?"

Anybody got next weekend free? Im thinking of making a road trip to Coolidge, AZ to help get another super anvil in the air and hate to go alone...i'm driving. If you go though, remember us 300+ pounders get stinky/sweaty so the trip might not be that delightful. "GOT LEAD?"

Michele message me so I know what time to be there so i can laugh...ahem support you on your great skills. "GOT LEAD?"

Unfortunately the only tunnel i know that could get anyone his or my size off the net would be the one at Ft. Bragg. Unfortunately I dont think they are gonna let him or i in that one. I tried the one in Perris and it was almost a complete waste of $150, unless laying on the net looking like a idiot is worth it. I do think with my new jumpsuit I could get quality fallrate control in one though. "GOT LEAD?"

UPDATE: Looks like Coolidge is willing to let the man fly..Looks like i'll get to try a new DZ soon too. "GOT LEAD?"

#1 I would never pressure someone into jumping. If he doesnt want to, dont force it...it isnt for everyone. Do you want to race a car??? "GOT LEAD?"

I would recommend finding someone with experience jumping with guys your size. Like oh who could that be...umm....well....umm Prost? Paul? If no one here in our area let him jump, I does believes a trip to ole Miss is going to be in the works. When are the instructors at Gold Coast gonna get tired of me sending them BIG BOYS. "GOT LEAD?"

hell I dont care, i'll drive to az, but meant az or socal. dz's would work. "GOT LEAD?"
