STOP looking for your deployment handle!!!

well some cool dzo's have lowered theres big time. some have not. take it for what it is. I think it is bullshit if they don't but what do I know. I am not going to name names so do your research and you will find out.

some things you say rarely are right on the money, but most is complete horse shit.

this has been discussed before. I don't pack for anyone but myself, so it doesn't really matter to me. I have seen answers this time and last time from one end to the other. They all are somewhat right, and of course some wrong ones in there too. I believe in free markets so the rigger can charge what ever they want. Obviously they must be careful, and not piss people off by outrageous raises in price. People will find someone who will do it cheaper if they do. Once again I do not pack for anyone so I really don't care what others do, but if it were me I would raise maybe five dollars and maybe a year or two later raise five again. People are less likely to resent you for the raises if it is done gradually. I have no problem paying a decent price for anything becasue business is business. When it is done in a decieving way or outrageous price hikes people will resent you and will find alternate ways to get the product cheaper.

how bout vector 3

I think one of the main problems is the last option when you vote. You know the one that says screw it I just go and hang out. If that is the case why do any of them jump? I can't stand that shit at all. shut up and jump sweetheart!

because it is 15 more than what you have

thats a homo rig taste the rainbow skittles lol

I do not think that they are unnecessary. I have seen the riser covers open on a few javelins before. Why do they not have a similar design to a vector 3, mirage or infinity. I feel that they are behind the curve for the following: no secondary riser covers, main flap is not tight and flops loose quite a bit, even if fitted w the correct main. I think that these are standard features nowadays and they are missing out. I sold my javelin because I did not feel safe with mine due to what was stated above.

the pilot should go around, but if he dosen't it is up to you I would have prob just pulled a little high. I would definitely talk to them to get that changed though. Landing in vineyards does not sound fun, and it is your skydive and you paid for it soooo.... I would talk with them they should not have a problem with hooking the plane around.

N/A

subject really says it all anybody jumping at Lodi know of any good mma gyms or bjj gyms near there.

looking to get to brazil for possible winter work and wanting to know what the biggest and best place to jump is and if there are any people that train jiu jitsu on this site are there any good jiu jitsu schools near any good dz's.

thanks joel

looking for someone that does not have to make a ton of money off of their rigs that they sell, which for me would mean a good price and for you a few hundred dollars in your pocket? You are welcome to PM if that is better for you.

these are the ones that would look at seriously. vector 3, mirage, wings, infinity. I have owned a javelin and quickly swithced to vector 3, jav is NOT a bad rig I just feel that, it is not the best in any sense when compared to these others.

I have seen this come up a lot. I think that if they would like to jump these high wl then they should be warned, showed the stats, because they seldom lie, and if the dz does not allow them to jump that canopy then they should not jump it or find somwhere where they can. You are right, you can't save everybody from themselves. Outside of that, maybe try to meet in the middle. Maybe say okay if you put such numbers on this wl and maybe some coaching then we can work something out with you jumping that canopy. 1.9 at 200 is retarded I do not agree with that at all and he might be one that you can't save from themself. I just like to keep in mind that we are all on the same team out there, so telling them they will die or seriously injure themself and then turn your back and wait for it to happen is just as stupid as them jumping the canopy in the first place. I think that canopy pilots should go by the stats on their canopy progression. Instead of flaming them when they don't follow it to the letter, maybe educate them, and try to help a little. Keeping in mind were not talking about 1.9 at 200 jumps. If they insist, well at least you tried. This is not directed soley at Spence this is probably a good suggestion for all.

Gotta love this guy he has all the answers

Maybe. I am in no rush, it would just be one more plus.

every voodoo owner I know has never thought of switching, but I myself am a vector man. I can see how the wait can be bs and aggrivating. This is my opinion, v3, mirage, voodoo, wings, infinty. They are all solid rigs, and everyone I have seen that owns them loves them. I am a picky gear owner, and these are all good to me even though others may not agree. good luck.

guess I am just waiting on the bigger optimum or optima reserves whatever you call them to come out. So I do not have to switch containers to have a larger reserve. Mine right now is fine to land if concious, but I might be in trouble if I am lights out while landing

I can vouch and say that Martin's plane is absolutely safe, but I wonder how safe other's planes REALLY are. Some part of me wants to know and the other part is saying ignorance is bliss. I guess that is the part of me that would not want to ask about it, but at the same time I really probably should ask for sure. (it is my life and all)

You get to jump where ever, but they only send me mail when they want my money.

wet t shirt contest awarded with two free jumps or something like that LOL.

I cannot agree more I absolutely do not get excited about anything unless it is an absolutely superior product in all senses, and I believe FF to be that.
