  1. How long can/do you leave ZP mains packed before opening them and repacking them? The reason for the question is, that the one of the reasons for reserves being made out of f111 fabric is that it doesnt stick to its self when packed for long periods of time.
  2. My helmet came off the other week in freefall cos i forgot to do the chin strap up "doh". And when i told my mum she asked why i didnt check it on every jump, and i said i do normally, but i ALWAYS check my chest strap and leg straps before boarding and exit on EVERY jump. So does it matter which 1 you fasten first?
  3. does anyone know if it is true that you can buy a degree on the internet if so is it legal and how much does it cost?
  4. my rigger just puts the container in a pillow case to huelp protect any metalwork from knocking against the side of the drum
  5. QuoteYou don't have your profile filled in... but... do you live anywhere near a wondtunnel? If your friend isn't een to skydive, why not buy them some time in a tunnel? vicki id love to go in a "wondtunnel" sounds great (:
  6. did you find your main and free bag before it got dark?
  7. good point but what if they kick out the twists? (too bad to think about) no this calls for a total. I will disconect the pc from the bridal, and then there is no chance of losing the main also they will have to buy me a new pc (mine is getting old as it is) WHAT A PLAN!!!
  8. that good then im due a reserve repack so i will pack a lineover and lend my rig to my friend. hey presto free repack i know it sounds a bit harsh but £35.00 is a lot of money (2 jumps)
  9. what about when you lend a friend your rig and he/she has a mal and loses your main whoo pay for the lost main and repack?

    my wingloading

    to answer some of your questions i have 10 jumps on this canopy 2 of which were in nil winds all landed in PLA all standing up the previos canopy i was jumping was a very old 210 f111 and the landings on that were a lot harder than on the sabre. also i have got ch1 and ch2 (UK) although ive received no formal canopy training. thanks for any input.

    its because my gf cant have caffeine and we are looking for an alcaholic drink for her how do you know that there isnt any?
  19. ive just started to do a few RW jumps and my biggest problem is, when i do a 360o turn i am about 5-6 ft away from my jump partner. i am turning by lifting a shoulder and dropping a knee, my turns are quick and controlled and i start and stop them on heading but they are a little wide any tips?
