  1. Doing tandems takes a lot of practice. There are definitely techniques you can learn to prevent injuries to yourself and the student. There is always going to be that risk or injury that may happen unexpectedly. After 3,000+ tandems I sprained my ankle once really bad. I was out for a month because of my foot getting caught in a gopher hole, the student walked away injury free. I think back to when I had less than 1,000 tandems jumps and compare my experience and techniques with my jumping today. I'm much better at doing tandems, but it still does not take away the risk of an unexpected accident. "Your mind is like a parachute: It only works when it is open." http://www.Skydive-Info.com

  5. JP....the reason why I don't buy the Chaos is because it is a different wing. If you look at a top view of both, you can tell the difference. From the ground you can tell the difference. The VX's corners have more of a slant. The Chaos is more rectangled or maybee just a little rounded in front, on the corners. Plus ...I jumped the Chaos...and comparing the two, I liked the way the VX performed, dived, and landed better.....but the openings were not as good as the Chaos. I think the VX is a better performing wing, but that's my opinion. Have you jumped the VX at all? ....but bottom line, they are two totally different wings. It just seems that with the X-mod....the lines distribute the weight differently, for better openings, for the wing I like better. ....Oh hey... I talked to Mel.....he is making me a dome slider before the weekend...and wants me to put 50-100 jumps on it,.. to see if that will fix some of the spankers!....thanks for guiding me in the right direction......he asked me how I found out about him.....and I gave him your name.

  6. I also have a VX 109 with the X-mod done in my other rig. Never had a bad opening yet......I'm just going to wait until I put some more jumps on the Vectran and test out different sliders and packing methods, before I send it to precision .. . but for sure!>>>> the openings are much better and consistent with the X-mod done.

  7. thanks!!...I'll give him a call and see how long, and how much it will be. "Your mind is like a parachute: It only works when it is open." http://www.Skydive-Info.com
  8. where's Mels email or contact info...... "Your mind is like a parachute: It only works when it is open." http://www.Skydive-Info.com
  9. yes... the canopy is brand new, off the shelf manufacured in Feb-05. with 40 jumps. Icarus sent me a bigger slider and I put that on last week. When I jumped It the first few times, with the bigger slider, I pushed the nose all the way to the back and rolled the hell out of the tail when I packed it, and I had some sweet openings. But then it spanked me again.....a bigger slider is probably not going to stop line dump.......but I can tell it is slowing down the openings a little. ....I hope your right about the openings getting better after 100 jumps.......and I am trying to get a hold of someone about a dome slider......thanks for the info........any more idea's before I send it to precision to get the line mod done?

  10. Does anyone jumping a VX know any packing tricks? I just got a new VX 109, and put 40 jumps on it. One opening just about broke my neck...instant canopy after releasing the pilot chute. Some of them are O.K.....but why so inconsistent? Any packing solutions from anyone jumping a VX without the X-mod would be greatly appreciated.
