  1. 7 reserve rides 2 sport 5 tandems 6 cutaways 1 Total on a tandem but i cutaway before pulling reserve but i had to manually cut the risers away after the reserve was out...
  2. Got my cx100 today and i am using an opteka .3 on it and with the step up ring its plenty wide enough for tandem. It is very comparable to my royal .2 in how wide the shot is. Believe this might be do to the stepup ring that is on it. Anyone else using the HD lens for handcam?
  3. Will be really suprised if i see another rig from strong in the next few years. Doubt they have the finances with the law case. Be nice to see something from strong thats modern and safer
  4. just get someone to sign you off...
  5. missed one for strongs. disconnecting and clipping them back into the piece on the back.
  6. i have used a blackeye .25 and a royal .2 and the blackeye is not quite as wide as the royal and has more of a vignetting issue compared to the royal i use.
  7. Whats your actual body size? Drag = power
  8. Took a 4'6" guy once he weighed about 100 pounds roughly. Tallest i have taken was 6'8" 200 pounds. Tall guy was fun on landing haha.
  9. Back in the beginning of the sport there used to be "low pull contests", whereby two people would play "chicken" with each other to see who would chicken-out first and deploy their parachutes before impacting the ground in freefall. Imagine if someone had suggested that USPA turn these contests into an official event at the National Parachuting Championships. Balderdash! Are you crazy! That little sport activity promoted extremely dangerous stunts, but fortunately, we came to our senses, grew out of it, and are now much safer for it. And now today we have thousands of skydivers intentionally flinging themselves at the ground under canopy at low altitude and high speed, to see who can approach the fastest and pull out of their dives the lowest. It occurs to me that canopy swooping is just like low-pull contests. But while low-pull's were always an unofficial thing between individuals, swooping is actually approved and sanctioned as an official competition activity by USPA! But it's an activity that is creating untold danger and carnage in our sport. Will we wise-up and eliminate this activity as "too dangerous", just as we did low-pull contests? Yeah plz tell me your joking cause if not that is a pretty ignorant comment to make...
  10. 9 dollar gloves from home depot work wonders for me. Just normal all purpose leather gloves.
  11. vectran all the way. you can still see wear and tear on it and it doesnt shrink like spectra. I wouldnt even consider spectra as a viable option anymore with vectran out there.
  12. take a chill pill man...
  13. Please allow the Nazis to own their reputation and stop diluting what they did by spreading their name around to others. The Nazis of WW II Germany were THE Nazis and no one else deserves to be lumped in with them. It's fucking disgusting! No one else should ever be called one. Unless they were. Who are you? The historical reference Nazi? LOL
  14. wow some of you guys take things to seriously when it comes to this kind of shit...
  15. if you dont mind me asking whats the point of this list? trying to make a black list or something? i am just curious thats all.
  16. if your butt is lower than your knees chances are you are not strong enough in your legs and you probally have your arms back behind you like you would in sky making the old school style of sit ;) one way to fix this is to get stronger with your legs and push your feet down more and push your head back which will bring your back back and you will now be in more of a sit position.
  17. i havent gotten the balls to do riser stalls on my velo yet done it like 200 times on my crossfire though
  18. use your rears next time if you want better control :P
  19. i can tell you that on a xfire that once you take it past a stall the wing tips will fold inwards and start bumping each other.
