  5. First, I would certainly say that the size, and dimensions of it are consistant with the proven slider tested for the canopy. Second, the design is without a doubt the best tested out of alll the products available. Lastly, I am NOT saying that other products are faulty, simply that for the Velocity canopy it makes sense to use the product which was designed directly for use with the Velocity. I would likely make the same comment regarding the Precision RDS is likely best for use on Precision canopies. You wouldn"t put a Honda engine in Corvette just because it was cheaper would you?

  7. Since you are jumping PD products it only makes sence to jump the only design tested and recommended for PD use.....PEA Engineering's RDS.
    (AKA Scott's design) You may find some more inexpensive products available out there but one malfunction or damaged caused by other designs can cost you an entire canopy or obviously much more.

    HOW MUCH IS YOUR LIFE REALLY WORTH?

  13. Liquid Sky defininately the best hands down! Others have a comparable product however the price and wait is not worth what, if any, percievable differences in quality. As far as durability, I am on my 3rd season wearing LS swoop pants and I cannot say enough about the quality, turn around time and customer service Julio provides to all his customers.

  15. Congrats to all the competitors for their excellent performances. A special congrats goes out for a "special" competitor Greg Windmiller, way to go Greg! You are making the GK look great this year in canopy piloting. Who would have thought you would be a poster boy for anything other than....well I'll let your imagination do the rest of the job.

  18. regarding the AVE 3 and 5, I would recommend the 7 above both, the 3 is weak on features and there is vurtually no difference in price between the 5 and 7.
    The 7 has a number of fade and auto fade features that will simplify any edit job especially multiple input editing. Ebay will have several for around 200 USD.

  20. If by that you mean a long chest strap, then yes, I think i do. I have the longest chest strap in the world! although some jealous haters may dispute that.



    I am coming after you Mike, I have a new rig on order, and Yes a LONGER chest strap than the last one! and that isn't JEALOUS HATING....you, you, you, Russian Person You.

  • I would say that the use of ANY material, especially tape presents a number of serious safety issues.

    1. The tape described is not intended for application to a parachute or parachute line, and therefore could have some serious implications to the lines or any other nylon it makes contact with. Many glues used on tape contain alcohol and other caustic chemicals. This could easily result in accellerated line wear or breakage.

    2. The tape as described can be difficult to attach to the risers, being bulky and unpredictable in it's density. This creates a problem in two ways: As described, it can interfere with the normal equipment operation of the slider and perhaps even the toggles; and second, it is quite possible for the tape to interfere with your dexterity ESPECIALLY if you are wearing gloves.

    3. The question that bears even a larger question than the use of tape is this: If you HAVE to or SHOULD wear thick gloves that interfere so severely to riser operation that you NEED to apply an untested modification to your risers, should you really be applying the use of front riser divers at all?
    I would say absolutely NOT!

  • I have a hotel room reservation the Radisson that I am not going to use from Sun 24-31 Aug.(it is not nessessary to use all the days.)

    I would hate to cancel the reservation and have it go to a non-jumper if someone out there needs it.

    The rate is around 200.00 p/night. for a king bed and fold out couch.

    Email or call me as before friday morning as I am planning on canceling it so I am not charged.
