Mike 'Fudd' was one of the guys who packed into my car when we drove down to Zhills a few years ago. He was tall and had to sit in the front seat of my Focus, while 3 other guys were squished in the back...it was a tight fit for all us and not very confortable at all for a long drive to Zhills...but we managed to get a bunch of laughs the entire ride down. Hard to believe we wont have an opportunity to do things like that again with you Fudd. Blue skies my friend FEZ If at first you don't succeed....then Skydiving is not for you!

- I'm using the same thing. Rings always stay up and they dont seem to bounce around, and I dont see any wear on the lines around that area. I'm wondering now if I should remove them and bring the rings all the way down...hmmmmm. If at first you don't succeed....then Skydiving is not for you!

I still have a little picture of him up on my wall..so I still get to see that smiling mug of his regularly. And he is still missed...and always will be. Blue ones to our buddy Ahmed....Cheers If at first you don't succeed....then Skydiving is not for you!

I had a Vengence 107 with the same issue. Lengthened the brake lines by 2 inches....problem gone. That was after I asked a rigger to watch my canopy during my dive.... Enjoy the Xaos, I have one as well now, and I love it. If at first you don't succeed....then Skydiving is not for you!

Just wondering if anyone knows how to create a template or custom theme in Pinnacle Studio 14...where you can have your intro, various fade effects and ending, all preset. All that is needed is to drag your clips into the time line and perhaps adjust the volumes and add music. Any advice would be helpful..

i went there a few years ago with a group from our DZ....had a GREAT time. Liz took care of us big time...the people there were all super nice, they fed us, got us drunk, and even wanted to jump with us We should organize another Canadian Invasion again. I recommend that place to everyone!! Cheers FEZ If at first you don't succeed....then Skydiving is not for you!

I demo'd a Neos at Zhills last Xmas and didn't find it all that impressive. The one I had, steering lines were WAY to long. I had to wrap them once around my hand, otherwise the flare started around my hips....so there wasn't much range from my hips to full arms length. The front riser pressure was super high I found. I've been flying a 107 canopy for the past 3 years and found the pressure super high compared to mine. Once the speed built up, I couldn't let up or pull down to adjust the dive....was only able to lock it in place where I started. The openings were very soft, but not much on heading. I demo'd a Velo96 for about 30 jumps while I was there as well, and the openings were much more on heading, so I don't think it was my body position that was always out of wack. All in all, I didn't leave with an impression that I wanted to go out and get one. It wasn't a bad canopy, just not something that suits me. Although their customer service was fantastic...very nice, and very helpful. Hope this helps. If at first you don't succeed....then Skydiving is not for you!

I purchased a DeepSeed Multi-Speed suit and I love it. I added the mini grips on the arms and legs and I havent had any issues with that suit at all. If I'm flying with a lighter weight person, I simply open the zippers on the arms and legs, and voila...plenty of extra baggyness to slow me down a little more. The only mod i made to it (and I've emailed them about it), was to stitch down the bottom side of the mini grips on the leg area. I've found that when you're sit flying, those grips were acting like mini parachutes by catching air. Since I stitched that side down, problem gone. I'll recomend them to anyone....

Ask the tunnel about which hotels they deal with. I know there is a discount for Skyventure clients, but I just cant remember the name of the hotel...it's just around the corner from the tunnel. If at first you don't succeed....then Skydiving is not for you!

I believe one of the main reasons for having a single entrance as opposed to two....insurance premiums. I believe the rates are considerably lower when having only 1 entrance...and a tunnel is all about making $$.

Mina, Haven't seen any more of your postings since last month...what up girl! Keep them comming. I haven't been to PST much this season, but hopefully this weekend or next I'll head up there and we can go for wings with Daniel...now that we know how to take appart your chair.

The Niagara tunnel is simply a tourist trap....thats all it was designed to be....it's crap for skydivers. I've only been to 3 Skyventure tunnels, and they are all amazing....even the original one in Orlando despite its 'old' technology in comparision to the new generation of tunnels they have. The staff just makes the experience that much better. See you in the tunnel some time.... If at first you don't succeed....then Skydiving is not for you!

Niagara is designed as a tourist attraction...and they do not particularly want skydivers there, and that came straight from the manager/owner's mouth. Don't waste your time or $ there if you're looking to get some 'skydiving experience' from a tunnel. Montreal is well worth the drive. You'll gain soooo much more there than you would in Niagara....it's just 2 different technologies. I can go on and on.... Thats my 2 cents worth....

This past Saturday I spent some time in the Montreal wind tunnel, doing some sit flying. It brought back a memory of Ahmed and I trying to learn how to sitfly at 3am in Orlando. I'll never forget his smiling face or his patience. Every time I'd show up at the DZ when Ahmed was doing tandems, I'll always remember those same words he's always say as soon as he'd see me....with a big smile on his face, "Fez, am I happy to see you..." Here is a toast to a great person....cheers Ahmed! If at first you don't succeed....then Skydiving is not for you!

Hey Everyone, I've never had the chance to travel by plane with my rig. I've spoken to the airline people and they've said that I can check the rig at the counter and I can bring it that way. The idea of leaving it out of my site worries me...I'd rather check my laptop and bring my rig onboard with me. Has anyone had issues with leaving the gear at check-in? If anyone has taken their gear on-board with them recently, how did they go about doing it? Thanks all for any input/advice. If at first you don't succeed....then Skydiving is not for you!
