Ive don 75 jumps with my current rig and ive stood up every landing including crosswind, downwind and also sometimes i choose to land into wind. ive had some v good canopy coaching and not once has anyone said to me that i shouldn't be flying this canopy, im happy with it and i feel confident that im not going to hurt myself with it it. what ive got to do over the next few hundred jumps is be disciplined and not downsize again however tempting it may be.

it felt a bit wierd under canopy for a while, but the tm is a very close friend and a v good tandem insructor and i trust him totally. it was a great jump and i recommend it to anyone.

done it today and it was a tandem!! drougeless for 4000ft and it was awesome. it was my first tandem and i loved every second,k bring on the next 200. get in......!

i already know how to make them but however i do not know where to get the chord to make them with.

Where can i buy closing loops from in the UK? preferably on the net

PULL!!!!!

both brakes down and a little pucker on the leading edge on right. can you please explain what you mean by this?

i agree with chris as you are fat!!!

why do a search? its a current issue that someone has bought up and i feel it would be benificial to get some attention again. please remember that not everyone has read every post on this forum, and some issues are not forefront in everyones mind, so it sometimes does good to bring them up again. it certainly does no harm!

i'm sorry dude i will have to say what every one else is thinking " those colours are AWFUL" sorry to be so truthful but you need to dye that thing and quick!!!!!

so to bring this debate from another thread whats the pros and whats the con? i dont know. Ive heard for, from jumpers with 4000 jumps plus and against from equally experienced jumpers so what does it all mean?

Where abouts in the uk r u from?

i was having a chat at the weekend to a friend who has just got back from the U.S (we are in the UK). and he was saying how slow it is in the UK compared to overseas DZs in general and how anal we are in the UK about gearcheaks and saftey in general. now i have never jumped abroad so i dont know but is the uk a safer place to jump than elsewhere because of this (like how many fatalities/ injuries are there per jump made in the UK/ US ) or is it justa load of bollocks.

Watch experienced packers pack, take note of their technique and ask lots of questions, you will pick up so many tips. oh and practice practice and then practice some more.

go on then someone put us out of our misery how much is membership going up by?

weston (rafspa) runs packing evenings on the last friday of each month from march onwards i think that they are usually run by Andy Ford. and they are free to members.

Just wanted to know how much it costs once youre in the park. Do you have to pay for the rides ect? How much does it cost to eat? Do i need to take out a second mortgage or is it affordable? Thanks in advance for any answers.....

John i know that there is a lot of threads that have been discussed in the past. But cmon youve got to let some of them run again, cause most of the people on dz.com are new and there are new people every day. So a search on the forums isnt always the best advise
