  1. just havin fun --I don't even know enough to know that I dont know--
  2. No i never gave him my address...i figured out what was going on when he said he would have one of his U.S. "clients" send me a check for $3100. I just sent him back an email asking him if he knew what Karma was, and if not, to look it up. --I don't even know enough to know that I dont know--
  3. He also asked for the canopy I'm selling. Heres the email I got from him. --I don't even know enough to know that I dont know--
  4. Haha, I don't have any problems landing my XF2 on rear risers. I've done it plenty times before. But...I do like using my toggles from time to time...lol --I don't even know enough to know that I dont know--
  5. Something that crossed my mind once while checking my altitude after a high hop-n-pop was how secure my toggle hold is. I use all my fingers to hold the toggles (I strongly recommend that you never use the 2 or 3 finger method) But, even with all 5 fingers holding the toggle, there is still a huge empty space in there. My question is; is there any way to hold the toggle to where it is secure all the time? Does anyone know of any toggle modifications that a manufacturer has done with canopy swooping in mind? The only thing I could think of (now bear with me and use your imagination) is to run your hands from the outside of each riser through the toggles, then roate each hand about 90 degrese back to the outside, then unstow your toggles. Im not sure if this would just put a twist in the toggle, or actually secure it a little more. Any thoughts? --I don't even know enough to know that I dont know--
  6. Good points. If you have a Neptune, you can watch the descent rate in feet per second I believe. As far as I know, it doesn't record anything, but you can make mental note. --I don't even know enough to know that I dont know--
  7. I think a big mistake that I hear most people make is leaving the brakes stowed until 500' or so. First off, like mentioned just a little bit before me, this could become a problem if u go to unstow them then have a problem. But also, probably on almost every canopy, this will kill your glide. If you have your brakes stowed, you have your canopy is in pretty slow flight. Think about what will allow the canopy to get in a good glide. I would say (depending on the canopy), either 1/4 brakes or rear risers will work the best. To find out which works best on your canopy, simply do some tests. Fly in brakes for awhile and get a feel of how fast the canopy is going, then go to your rears and see if it feels like you start going faster or slower. As stated before, this is all going to depend on your canopy. For me on my crossfire2, I feel like rear risers works best though. Hope this helps! --I don't even know enough to know that I dont know--
  8. If anyone was going to rear float, they would have to keep their head down! That back prop does come a little far down for anyone to be standing up back there. lol But it looks like it would be fun! --I don't even know enough to know that I dont know--

  10. Here's one of me on my crossfire2 119 and Dirk on his Katana 89 --I don't even know enough to know that I dont know--
  11. Here is one of oli on his new crossfire2 109 and Dave on his safire2 also from this past weekend. --I don't even know enough to know that I dont know--

  13. Could be by a lot of practice, but it could also be by him just knowing the land marks around the DZ and by looking at them on his side and between his feet, maybe he just knows where the DZ is. --I don't even know enough to know that I dont know--
  14. My guess is that your going to get some bad. My experience with them is good though. I would say buy from them...I did and I love my suit! Its solid, nice material, and comfortable. They make an awesome suit for an awesome price in my opinion. --I don't even know enough to know that I dont know--
  15. Nice colors! Blue and black rocks! --I don't even know enough to know that I dont know--
