  1. Not sure... like I say... I wasn't there, it's all second hand info. I'll try and find out more details when I see him again, but it probably won't be for a while.

  2. well, I ran a mountain half marathon once, when I was in Markonic Grad. The thing that helped me the most (other than being in decent shape..) was this piece of advise: It's not about who runs the fastest, but about who slows down the least.

  4. I myself have not even done an intentional, but I know someone who has, and had to go to the third canopy. He doesn't have access to the internet, so I will take the liberty of posting for him as best I can (considering it was before my time.) The story I got from him, was that years back, there was a recall on a reserve. He happened to have one of them. In his infinite wisdom, he decides it would be a good idea to go for the intentional cutaway. (Not sure if he said "Hold my beer, watch this," before he did it or not, but I think he should have. Anyhow, he chopped the main, pulled the reserve handle, and (I beleive it was a total due to something wrong with the PC) the reserve did indeed mal. Out comes the tertiary, a 20 sq ft. round, and he gets the planet shoved up himself. It's better when he tells it I'm sure, but that's my version of what I heard... hope it's at least 99% accurate.

  5. I don't know why people would respond again once the correct answer has already been given though. S.E.X. party #1 "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "f*#k, what a ride".

  8. Well, I voted "bought 1 new main" I haven't actually received it yet, but it should be here in a fairly short amount of time, so I jumped the gun... I decided to go new because: A) I had the money to do it at the time, otherwise, I would have had to spend it on something non-skydiving related, and that would be wrong. B) for the custom colours. I wanted something different than the norm, so I ordered it, I don't think I'd feel any less safe under a used canopy at all... nor any more under a new one. I'll tell you in about a 1000 or two jumps if I think buying new was worth it S.E.X. party #1 "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "f*#k, what a ride".
  9. well, ya know... I'm ripping this off from a punk song I used to listen to, but "I'll call you on your shit, please call me on mine." and I think there's a lot of it there S.E.X. party #1 "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "f*#k, what a ride".

  11. Yep, my jumpsuit, as well as both (on order) container, and canopy all have a little hot pink on them... it started with the jumpsuit, but I figure if it looks good on the suit, and I'm buying stuff to match, it's gotta be there too.

  12. Shouldn't be a problem at all. I have a J1 with a 120 in it. as long as the closing loop is short enough, it's fine. S.E.X. party #1 "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "f*#k, what a ride".
  13. and really, the only tough part about that would be trying to get that huge wooden frame off of you... I don't know what it weighs, but I bet it would hurt coming down on top of you.

  24. hehehe, that's about how sure of the whole thing too, but hey, it put a smile on my face the whole way out the mall... people probably thought I was crazy, but what can you do?

  25. I beleive what is actually happening, is by not tightening the leg straps, you aren't letting the harness absorb the shock for you... the canopy stands up your harness, and you slam into the legstraps, rather than get supported by them. I don't know if the wording here is clear or not, but the leg straps definately won't tighten up on opening.
