"I've never met a man in more dyer need of a blow job." good morning vietnam Sig lines are so stupid.

I first learned without clamps, and later experimented with using them. I didn't prefer clamps until I started doing the same style pack job as Kmonster. BTW, Kmonster and Dexter, do you do the same pack-job on jumps< 250 feet? Sig lines are so stupid.

i find this thread insightful and helpful. It's nice to know this forum is still worth reading as opposed to all the other crap on dz.com Sig lines are so stupid.

make friends with people at your dz, if one of those friends turns out to be a veteran base-jumper then it will be easy to talk about base. Don't just try to make friends with people cause you hope they will be a mentor. Sig lines are so stupid.

icon's simply don't have the time-tested rep to start. the tolerances for construction variation are relatively high on both rigs. i.e. lack of symetry on closing flaps both main and reserve. also incosistent tention on riser covers. As far as the atom legend goes I've witnessed three "table totals" on the reserve, not packed by me, but by two OTHER riggers. edited to add: they are not "shitty" but if you're gonna spend big dollars on an item especially a lif-saving item don't you want first rate? If I spend 1000 plus buck on something I at least want insanely low tolerances on symetry. I'm sure both companies would fix any incosistentcies in your product, but they shouldn't have to fix something after you drop big dollars. One table-total is enough for me to not want it on my back. Go look at some Icons. Does the tuck tab on the main flap sit fluch into its slot, or is there a gap? If there is a gap, is it an even gap on both sides sitting horizontal or slightly a skew? Not a real performance issue, but why have issues at all? Sig lines are so stupid.

do you really want the latest not-so-time-tested first generation design to be your life-saving device? edited to add: no one will admit to spending over a thousand bucks on not "the best" rig. The moment you decide to buy one, even if it's a dolphin or racer it becomes the best peice of skydiving technology out there. Aerodyne is like "toyota" nothin wrong with them, will last a long time, and be reliable. But you can only get "so-much" performance out of a toyota before you need a true high-end design. I personally don't want life saving devices to not be high-end. Sig lines are so stupid.

every time you use it, the spring-based locking mechanism will get a little weaker. Sig lines are so stupid.

there are a lot of second rate containers out there that are cheaper than first rate containers. the quasar 2 is second rate. It probably wouldn't kill you, but why go second rate? Sig lines are so stupid.

the reason icons are cheap is because they are cheap. They won't kill you or anything, but the construction and design is based on research done by non-jumpers of other far superior rigs. Sig lines are so stupid.

oxygens are shitty. get a not-so-shitty full-face with a quality closing system. Sig lines are so stupid.

I think your d license number in your profile is fuct Sig lines are so stupid.

dooooooood i totally want an excal Sig lines are so stupid.

both are mediocre rigs. Sig lines are so stupid.

wtf is a parainovators seat pack? Sig lines are so stupid.

most skydiving helmets are not engineered with as much safety in mind as a pro-tec of any kind. Most skydiving helmets are basically audible/camera holders rather than protection. And also skydiving helmets look cooler than a pro-tec. p.s. I'm sooooooooooooo drunk Sig lines are so stupid.
