How do you pack tandems at your DZ ??
packing_jarrett replied to MotherGoose's topic in Gear and Rigging
Vectors with precision mains are always pro packed. Strong with set 400's are "supposed" to be roll packed like it says in the manual but we also pro pack them. My dads racer tandem with a flight concepts 9 cell reserve (used as a main) is flat packed. Hope that helps -
recovery arcs and learning to swoop...
packing_jarrett replied to avenfoto's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
because when using these "short-recovery" canopies you have to be dead-on to have a decent swoop.Quote I believe I learned how to swoop with some of the shortest recovery canopies out there, batwing and stiletto's............uuuuuh. I had something important to say but I forgot. Oh I also learned how to do my thing under my sabre 135. Which has a longer recovery arc then my stiletto 120 IMO. After going to a crossfire 99 which has a long recovery arc relatively speaking I found it much easier to get my initiating altitudes right. But wait! Just for shits and giggles when I jumped my sabre 135 I was really having fun with it. I immidietly started getting back into the groove of that. My reasoning like stu said is that if you learn on the shortest recovery arc then the longer recoverying canopies give more room for error when trying new things. Did I say that right???

IMO the racer *gasp* seems to be the slimmest/contoured container out there. My dads racer nos is a lot thiner and sits more in the back than my buddys mirage MZS which holds 69 sq ft less material. All the "other" containers sit way off your back, relatively speaking. my .02 Na' Cho' Cheese

Bat Hang Exit from a 182
packing_jarrett replied to mt_skydiver's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
First of all tell the pilot what your up to before doing anything dealing with the airplane itself. But when I was into the bathangs I told the pilot to pick up the airspeed which pretter much glued my feet to the leading edge. Na' Cho' Cheese -
Ah they don't have 4 flaps anymore. We're were packing the 2k3 style and it has 5 flaps. Like 2 bottom flaps. It seems worthless imo. It worked just fine with the 4 flaps. Na' Cho' Cheese

How many AFF jumps did it take you???
packing_jarrett replied to live2dive's topic in Safety and Training
I'll vouch for someone at the dz who doesnt get on here. He has 50 or 60 aff jumps and still hasn't gotten on solo status. I think he's on level 4. on the other side of training... I got off student status in 20 static line jumps Na' Cho' Cheese -

DUDE! I like it when all goes well A few months ago we had a guy doing a Skysurf Jump and had a malfunction at 5500 and his freebag and main landed on out hangar. Not the neighbors roof but out roof. It was easy to find :) but hard to get. Na' Cho' Cheese

New to sport... what gear should i be looking at?
packing_jarrett replied to Peacockdonkey2's topic in Gear and Rigging
If I was you: Get through your training Listen to your instructors. Buy a racer 350cu''/350cu'' Cypres/ Vigil PDR 160 borrow gear until you can safely jump a sabre2/ safire 150 Na' Cho' Cheese -
Yeah dude they worked out nice. My first jumps with a gti had you wing grippers so I decided to go with grippers again. Like on jump 5 or 6 I decided to try not to use them and it felt wierd. I really like them. Thanks. Na' Cho' Cheese
