Gryttjom DZ / Sweden http://www.skydive.se/311/m-eng-home.html 2014 Season is over now but for 2015 summer it is really cool place to swoop!! Thanks, jussi ---Ubi est actio hic?---

Yes Topi recommend short lines. Jussi ---Ubi est actio hic?---

Here in Finland is another rotation team called "Häjyt" (http://www.hajyt.com) which has also shortened lines on they Tri's Jussi ---Ubi est actio hic?---

I usually set my breaks right after landing to avoid twist on steering line and to speedup packing. For my crw canopy there are no breaks to set so it is just easy and fast packing after landing. jussi ---Ubi est actio hic?---

Our rotation team jumps 99 and 120 sizes. 120 sized have 50 cm shorter lines than factory set and 99 have 45 cm shorter lines than factory set. No Aerodyne doesn't offer such modification from factory line sets have been made by local rigger. They fly well and turn really really fast, we have also larger size x sliders, so canopies can spread more than they would with regular sliders and shorter lines. We bought these babies from Romme Rotation CF team (www.rommerotation.com) and they seemed to do quite well on last world champion competition in Malewsky cup so you may say that there are some benefit jumping with shorter lines. Our team used to do rotation with notorious Express canopies from behind before we switched to these fast and switchy Tri's and shasee with so many changes it is hard to say, but in theory shorter lines shorter formation quicker rotations. And yes landings are somehow affected. With shorter lines our tri's have really positive recovery arc and they tend to level out really quick, it will get some jumps to accustomed with this and adjusting your speed increasing maneuver starting height which some may say is quite low.

During last weekend we made a nice downplane after 2 way sequence jump around 22:45 a clock. It was not total dark so not a really night down plane (we jump in Finland and now a days it doesnt get too dark at nights at all) but did give nice visuals for speed skydiving world cup ending ceremony at Utti DZ. Noticed also that our competition CRW Triathlons with 50 cm shortened lines are quite sensitive with body movements during side by side. Down plane just formed before we actively made it!! But it was a lot of fun anyway!! Jussi ---Ubi est actio hic?---

I might have manual for minimax7, need to check from (kanada) lofts library jussi ---Ubi est actio hic?---

18 and packed myself jussi ---Ubi est actio hic?---

You could ask your rigger to clean them the right way (so there are no melted parts of canopy fabric to tear your canopy even more) for you with hotknife so they don`t become problems in future, if not hot knifed whole rib may tear and cause unpleasant flying characters.

Here is my Jedei 105 I just love it!! jussi ---Ubi est actio hic?---

Hello I think flap described here means this one: http://www.apf.asn.au/apf_admin/downloads/rigging/pdf/SB%20_04-002_Rabat_protection_millenium_GB.pdf Yours jussi ---Ubi est actio hic?---

During summer Ecco sandals they really rule! Those things have air cushions so they are really comfortable and hey no feet sweat!! and for CRW jumping I use old Reebook sneakers with wool socks for ankle protection. Sometimes when it is hard do say is it summer or autumn (I live in Finland) sandals with wool socks works well!! During winter time I prefer Doc Martins with wool socks. Main thing would be ankle protection and comfort. Sandals don´t have that but they give you certain summer feeling that I like and it is principle thing I never wear anything else than sandals during summer... jussi ---Ubi est actio hic?---

My first canopy was rainbow colored used PD 170! I was ten jumps wonder with own main canopy! I never jumped that one, sold it before I was off student status. Next one was brand new sabre 170, after that few different size (excelent canopy!!) Blue track sèrie Pro 140 and 120, three different size notorius express CRW canopies, one used PD 193 and now jedei 105 jussi ---Ubi est actio hic?---

Yes how could you forget Ozzie? show was quite boring but that was cool when Ozzie did give comments on soap bubbles FX for his show.... Me? read that fully nah.... only this part "To be or not to be..." and that was original language!!! I tried to read more but with my poor English skill it did not work out too good.... ---Ubi est actio hic?---

jaahas lets see: Johnny Walker, first personal friend from your misty island not the best but first Michael Jackson the whisky and beer guru of ours really a genius!! J.R.R Tolkien, excellent story teller Ozzy Osbourne, the prince of darkness!!! Shakespeare did write some impressive stuff jussi ---Ubi est actio hic?---

Hmm fury sounds quite interesting.... I might ask if Tony will borrow me his fury, then we might get really scary CRW going... but if Tony refuses then we will use those notorious Express (also know here as "esso") canopies There are no sense do things without prober planning and as you said some liquid aid might do good for brainstorming proces.... so we need absolutely do some serious hardcore planning before jumping CRW jussi ---Ubi est actio hic?---

Ok Erno you did get it right ...and as it has been sooooo long since your last CF jump we might do some nice CRW together when we are at the same time on EFRY DZ? or least plan to do CRW OK? jussi ---Ubi est actio hic?---

Jussi Laine took that picture jussi ---Ubi est actio hic?---

Yes mine is loose on summer but now it`s not so loose... My freefall muscle is in good shape and I call him Osmo Osmo don`t like to be in cold so I need to put a lot warm clothes on, mayby I allso need to sew some extra spandex on my birdsuit to get it on. the Osmo Mod! jussi ---Ubi est actio hic?---

hmmm Personally I do like birdie jumping on little bit warmer weather... but maybe i will try during weekend how high is -20 C my personal winter altitude limit. just thinking how much clothes you manage to put under your birdie suit or do you have special loose fit one for winter use? jussi ---Ubi est actio hic?---

Yes both of us do skydive, sometimes even together... We jump on same CF sequential team. jussi ---Ubi est actio hic?---

OK may take some time before it is warm enough for me to jump with birdman again but I will inform you. Nah no problems, I was just too lazy to do it for my old container (it was a atom too) and I jumped loan spectre with birdman so there was no real necessary to do the mod. I will try to take pictures for you during weekend latest jussi ---Ubi est actio hic?---

Hello I did make this modification on my own atom classic 00 rig few weeks ago. I did left about 1 inch of sewing on corners to keep rig shaped. Unfortunately weather has turned so cold here that I haven`t jumped with my birdman after that... jussi ---Ubi est actio hic?---
