Hey Steve! It's me. Matt. Thanks for the info. I got one on order.

Does anybody know where I can find a book that describes RW formations? You know, 4 way 6 way, 8 way … dives. I’m looking at all the popular skydiving suppliers and I don’t see it.

Thanks, that looks likeit.

I am looking all over for a link to the video taken by the jumper who had a double malfunction and survived in New Zealand. I am the only person on the face of the earth who hasn’t seen it.

Here is another question. What is the default, standard pattern if nothing else is designated?

Hey Val, I just watched you’re video on you’re website. That’s a Gary Bird Production, Inc. Corp. video! I’m in it. That’s me in the landing pattern with my old canopy, the red and black one.

Hi again Val! Don’t you love this global warming thing.

Of course. How stupid. I should have thought of that myself.

Have you thought of flat packing? I still flat pack and I put 300 jumps on my Sabre 210 0 Porosity. I got 100 jumps on a brand new O porosity Specre 190. The positive thing with flat packing is it lays down a lot better and you can get it in the bag easier. The negative thing is it takes up space while you’re doing it.

I have another question. I’m planning on taking a long weekend and doing some jumping in Florida in February. This is the second time I’ll be going to Florida for the purpose of skydiving. I went to Z-Hills in November and loved every minute. Now I want to try Deland or Sebastian. I’m an RW kind of guy. Any suggestions?

I love landing off. If it’s done successfully and you don’t get hurt, it can be quite fun. I landed in a field in the middle of a country fair once when the spot went long. Yesterday I landed in the local motel’s parking lot. All the cars on the road were blowing their horns. Their occupants waving and giving me the thumbs up. Where have you landed that is noteworthy?

I like the 811 Perl but the keyboard is a little small for my fingers. I prefer the 8700. If you do get the 8100, do software update to the 4.2.0.64 version. There are glitches in the 4.2.0.14. MDA & SDA are very nice Microsoft V5.0 smart phones that don’t need the additional Blackberry $19.99 a month features plus 19.99 for Blackberry International Roaming. MDA & SDA require 19.99 data feature only.

I love my new Spectre 190! Easy opening, easy landing. I load it 1.2 to 1 and it’s nice.

OOOOH, Just got my brand new Specter 190! Can’t wait to jump it.

You have to file a “NOTAM” with the local FAA FSDO and advise them of you’re intentions. You also have to communicate with the Air Traffic Controllers if you are in their airspace.

Do you know how you can make a small fortune in skydiving? Start with a big one.

That’s easy, everything you got.

Correction: SkyVenture Orlando is located on the northern portion of International Drive

Many thanks to the folks at SkyVenture Orlando. I just got back from my first tunnel experience and I had tons of fun. Now I now how to move laterally! One thing new users might want to know: SkyVenture Orlando is located on the eastern portion of International Drive. If you use route 528 west to get there, you have to turn right off the exit. Also, it is in a highly congested area in the middle of “Theme Park Ally”. Leave yourself plenty of time to get there. Plan on being there ½ hour before you’re scheduled time.

I use a Saber 210. I weight 210 lbs.

I live in Clinton, NJ, just east of Easton, PA off interstate 78. I’d love to come out and check it out, but I don’t have the equipment to do CRW yet. I have to work on that issue first. What kind of container do you guys generally use. Can I use a Javelin? I currently have a Talon 2 that fits a 210. Can I put a 190 in that?

I am interested in getting involved in CRW and I would like some advice. I am in the market for a new rig. I think I might want to try CRW out for a season before I make a commitment. Could I do this with a Spectre first? And how about containers? I have been jumping some javelin demos but I’m guessing that’s not the right equipment, right? Also, I looking for a training camp. Would there be anything coming up in the NY/NJ/PA area?

Cool, thanks

Hey folks. I am in the market for a new rig. I’m looking for a harness that uses a mettle clip to secure the leg strap. Can anybody point me in the proper direction.? I’m a POPs kind of guy and I am not very graceful stepping into a regular type rig
