Make sure u have stainless rings. We've found that aluminum rings destroy lines due to the bits of metal that come off the rings during openings.

Micro is for a sigma340. I've seen smaller canopies and up to a precision365. The rig fits more like a big sport rig instead of feeling like a big bulky tandem.

There is only 1 person I know using a removable chest strap and it's not Marat. Marat has a removable belly band. The person removing his chest strap completely has a permanent belly band on his rig. U need to have chest rings in order to do a removable chest strap.

i'll be there at 9:30 to open and get people waivered. as soon as we have 4 people, we can be wheels up by 10.

i don't know of any hotels that close to the DZ, but there are some about 20 minutes away. not sure wich ones are good, you might want to ask McNenney. Lets try to figure out what time people want to start on friday. it takes 4 to fly and i need to let the pilot know what time to be there.

trying to figure out if people are going to want to practice on friday, may 16. Speak up if you plan on it so i can make sure we have a pilot to fly loads that friday.

i do know you, SHIVA. we did the course together and i'm pretty sure that i am one of the "overweight beer bellied fat asses" being talked about and also the guy flying a "pocket rocket" with barely any jumps. on the other hand i have more jumps on this canopy than you do total. i bet i can out fly you in any orientation and under canopy. you are acting petty and arrogant. you can recite cloud coverage all you want, whats that prove that you can read and remember. there were over 11 thousand jumps between the other 5 guys in the course and you feel that you're better than us with 400 and can critique our abilities. stop worrying about any of us and take care of your own shit. anyways as i recall you were the guy having teaching problems because you got too nervous and flustered. and who the hell are you to get on the internet and bash on the class and our evaluator, who by the way is an excellent one at that. obviously you are just an internet tough guy who had nothing to say in person and hides there profile on the internet. you haven't jumped with any of us and think you can judge any of our abilities. you know who i am and where to find me if you want to give me some more of your opinions. good luck to you

Quote I was going to do a canopy control check and removed the right toggle and was about to remove the left brake when it started spinning to my left. the canopy is obviously going to spin if you only unstow one brake.

try splitting your risers so they are next to each other and not on top. after you are done closing the rig, make sure you push the secondary riser covers(the covers along the side of the rig) back down all the way. they tend to slide up while closing the rig. this is what i do on mine. also, the reserve flap will break in after you have put several jumps on the rig.

scott, what do you care if the king air is gone for a month. you only jump once every couple of months anyway

sunto vector (i think thats the spelling)

he suffered a bruised lung and kidney

why cut the other brake line??? just land on rears.

it will wear down the fabric on the earpad. don't know if there is much you can do about it. i got over 1000 jumps with the same helmet (bonehead mindwarp) and i pull out the earpad before my first jump of the day to turn on the audible. it still hold pretty good, you just have to make sure the velcro grips it or the earpad could fall out.

caught the windflag with my endcell while swooping and dislocated my shoulder. out for 3 months and dislocated it 6 more times since(once in freefall, 5 times while flaring) surfing out the end of a swoop and caught my foot in a divot. shattered my cuboid. out for 3 months, 2 months on crutches, 3 weeks with a boot, and just now getting back into sneakers.

I have the same problem with my cypres2. the display turns off, but the cypres is still on. when the display goes off and i press the button again it does nothing. then i do it again and it counts down. i was told that it was because of static electricity which causes the lcd to do that. i have to send mine in for its four year and battery and plan to have them address the problem then.

QuoteAnd most importantly we had no injuries,had no one land in the water(except Mickie but it doesn't count when it is after you surf 100ft of beach),and everyone landed where they were supposed to(except for the last load but we found everyone) i didn't land in the water. i just went over the mound of sand, and people thoght i went in the water. i stayed dry, real dry and covered in sand.

cesspool, this video is from Rantoul 2 years ago. the guy was able to cutaway and the main stuck on the tail, but shredded off. i heard from someone on that load that the guys had rushed onto the plane last minute before it taxied off.

i dislocated my shoulder about 7 weeks ago when my canopy caught the wind flag on a swoop. it was completly dislocated. went to the ER, had it popped back in. dont have insurance, so never went to orthopedic like i was told to. one of the jumpers at my DZ is a physical therapist and gave me some excercises to work on. just made 8 jumps this past weekend. it hurt like hell after the first day. iced that night and jumped again the next day. there is still pain but i feel like i am able to jump again, but i am still doing the excercises so i can get my shoulder back to 100%.

the OPTIMA is an audible by LB that has swoop alarms. that might be the one
