  1. i'm not sure how the tso reads on certain rigs. but i do know that the reserve ripcord is a tso'd item so the cutaway may be as well. master rigger only...and even then it's kind of a grey area... contact manufacturer and find out if the tso applies to that specific part.

  2. it had been a while for me since i last partied with whuffos' and tonite i did so...
    i was bored out of my mind, nothing to talk about when ya can't talk about skydiving. i couldn't talk about how proud i was of my 1st (yes i bought beer) reserve pack as a rigger in training..i am proud to be a skydiver, and glad i'm no longer one of those "normal" people.....they scare me ;)

  3. maybe setup a room on www.dalnet.com
    easy to do....and easy to punt troublesome chatters...
    check it out i'd love to see a good chat room here...

  4. after taking my own time to look at several suits by companies like tony, and body sport....the owners of my dz came back from florida with merlin rw suits....the quality on theses suits is higher imho...stronger materials. excellent reenforcement in all the right places....so i immediately ordered one for myself.
    you oughta look for one and check it out for yerself.

  5. i have only been jumping for a few months now and anytime i hear of someone going in it hits me good...as though i have lost a friend. i have many big brothers and sisters in the brotherhood of freefall....and i love each of them. i feel the loss as i hope all skydivers do. my condolences to all involved.

  7. the thing that i look for in my gear is value, i opted to purchase a custom pro-comp suit from merlin suits. with all the custom colors and grips along with specially made booties. it cost about $390. i made the more expensive chice because it was built better than any other suit i had looked at. be sure to consider quality in your pricing. look for top grade materials, reenforcement in all the proper places...etc.

  8. we just recieved the new sigma at my dz...i have been packing it since...the 2 of our instructors that have jumped it really like it, no ripcords to lose, easy to check reserve pin and cypress, easy to reach handles,and the best feature they like is that the main deployment handles are inactive until the drouge is out. the students that have come back for a second jump (first jump on vector or racer) said it was much more comfortable, the lower bellyband makes for better comfort on deployment.
    from a packing point of view it packs easily, the closing pin setup with a pin on the drouge line took some getting used to. but this rig has my vote...
