Any suggestions on how to change the velcro for the risers then? Add flaps? Scrap it all and get a new container (not that I can afford that...)? I'm still working on sit fly but at a rate of one jump a weekend, I'm not getting very far. Hopefully the weather will cooperate for the next few weekends and I can get more jumps in! -
A rigger at my old dropzone did some work on the rig, adding velcro to the risers, a "pocket" for the bridle, and what not to make it more freefly friendly than a normal Vector II container. -
Although I'm new at this sport with only 35 jumps, I'm really interested in free flying. I've gotten several different opinions, from wait until you have 900 jumps to start now!!! I'm messed around a bit and haven't had any problems yet with losing altitude too fast or going out of control. If there any reason why I shouldn't be doing free fly so soon? -
After jumping for a few months, I finally decided to sign up on dropzone :) I had an amazing jump yesterday where I accidentally hit sit fly coming out of a front loop. I've been working on sit fly for a while, but when I don't think about it is when I end up doing it well. Any tips other than to just relax? -
Welcome to skydiving! My parents were hella freaked out about my sister and me jumping every weekend, but we finally convinced my mom to go skydiving last summer. Now, she wants to go again, my dad wants to go, and they can't wait to hear our jumping stories every weekend! Keep working at them, and you're right, skydiving...as long as you're safe about it...is safer than most people think.
What would you do???
