  1. LANC port is what the Cameye is plugged into. I don't believe the HC46 has one (off the top of my head). The greatest risk you take in life is the risk you don't take.
  2. There is a way to have the visor open in freefall, a friend's visor opened in freefall when the locking mechanism (the part on the visor) came off. The screws loosened themselves and he lost everything in freefall. I'm in no way badmouthing the Mamba, I love mine and he loves his. Bonehead also sent replacement parts to him at no charge as soon as they heard about it. The helmet is great, very comfortable and great field of vision. I'd second getting another if mine met with unfortunate circumstances. The greatest risk you take in life is the risk you don't take.
  3. I'd def recommend the collapsable pilot chute. Even on a 168, there will be a difference. Anyway, you'll only forget to cock it once. The greatest risk you take in life is the risk you don't take.
  4. This is something that was mentioned at the canopy course I took from Brian Germain. He mentioned that for newer jumpers, stress levels spiked during exit. For experienced jumpers, stress levels spiked during deployment. The greatest risk you take in life is the risk you don't take.
  5. Thanks...I appreciate your effort. The greatest risk you take in life is the risk you don't take.
  6. That funny...manufactured plastic is considered better for the environment than lead, which is found in nature. However, that may be a discussion for SC. My question actually pertains to the use of plastic seals in the US. I'm a new rigger here in the USA and I seem to remember that the FAA states that the reserve pack must be sealed with a lead seal. I'm in the middle of a move from California to Virginia and don't have my books with me. Can anyone shed some light on this for the US riggers? Thanks.

  7. When did this MOD happen? If you don't mind me asking. The greatest risk you take in life is the risk you don't take.
  8. They're working on it. Sometimes things go ok. Other times it's frustrating as hell there. I was hoping ot see a nice turn around there to a more upjumper friendly place, but as this weekend is my last weekend there, guess I won't be seeing that. That's too bad.

    try this one http://www.bridgeday.info The greatest risk you take in life is the risk you don't take.
  10. Sounds like you learned in the Central coast...I did and I know exactly what you're talking about and no, Kris wasn't kidding... The greatest risk you take in life is the risk you don't take.
  11. I've been to Perris a few times and I must say. I like their demo program. It gives new jumpers an opporunity that a lot of jumpers never have. You've got the ability to try a number of different containers, mains and different combinations. Yes you can get demos directly from the manufacturers, but it's a lot easier just to show up and ask for a container and main, plus no shipping charges.
  12. I jump an HC90 with the royal-lens diamond .3x. Seems to work pretty good. I do have a little 'fuzziness' in the corners when shooting in widescreen, but I've only been jumping it a few weekends, so I'm still messing around with it. Mike, any idea about fuzzy widescreen corners? The greatest risk you take in life is the risk you don't take.
  13. Jarrett, I do believe you are right. Risers should definitely come with the container. Links should come with the canopy. The greatest risk you take in life is the risk you don't take.
  14. At least another Wingsuit will be there. Wayne and I are planning on being there too (thanks for the peer pressure, Cass :) ) The greatest risk you take in life is the risk you don't take.
  15. Remove main and reserve Large tub COLD water woolite soft bristled brush Fill tub with COLD water and little woolite Wash rig with the brush (submerging the rig) Rinse the rig multiple times (rinse and replace water) until water is clear. Hang to dry (probably 2 days) Optional - once dry -> Scotchguard Talk to your rigger, but you'll probably get something close to this about how to clear your rig. Your rigger may be able to do it for you (for a price) at your next repack. WARNING - Do not use warm or hot water, it can cause your rig to shrink. Hope this helps.
