Hi! I am Igor Vasilyev, the one all the commotion has been raised about. Let me clarify a few things: 1) I finished AFF a year ago. Fresh graduate, eh? :P 2) I will have my 100th jump this weekend. 3) I did order a Katana 120. 4) I don't plan to jump it anytime soon. I happened to come into a little unexpected cash that I am investing in my dream rig - starting with the Katana. _Someday_ I will be able to jump it, right? The Crossfire was very nice and big - a 169, that's why we felt I could try it. I did it, but only once, and only because the conditions were nearly perfect (not something that happens often in Moscow). Looks like this cute somebody here by me is overly concerned and does underestimate my sense of reason and/or will it seems. :P And no, I love her a little more than skydiving. Just a little, though. :))) *hey she hit me* Thank you for the concern! It's one nice site you've got here!

He is nearing his 100th jump. He is not lightweight! About 190 lbs if I calculate right :) And yes he ordered a 120 Katana. His plan is just "to have it handy" until he has enough experience, but I don't think he will resist the temptation for long once he's got it. He tells me he'd open high and land straightly... and he doesn't listen to advice, or rather he does but sort of sheds it with a shrug. He nearly died five years ago when he fell from a 5 store building after that he thinks he is living on borrowed time it's complex and doesn't make much sense, i know

Hi! So if a fresh A graduate jumped an elliptical canopy and did so very carefully, without any low turns, swoops, what-not - just a straight direct approach against the wind - what problems could be expected? This is a friend of mine who is currently jumping a rectangular canopy (Ozone) at 1:1 and has ordered a Katana because he has always been fascinated by it and I think is in love with it more than with me. He can't jump a lot because the weather here is ugly but is a total addict. Someone let him jump their crossfire once and he loved it. He is telling me he is going to jump rental till he gets enough experience ofr katana, but I don't think he will resist the temptation... What problems could be possibly anticipated, if he jumped it very conventionally at 1:1.6?
