Thak you very much... I sat down with my son and he went over all the gear which to my surprise was very different then I expected.He explained to me how it was packed then he packed infront of me, after our 2 hour seminar...lol....he took me out to one of his spots...about 600ft...or so. and I filmed him doing a beautifull back flip twist thing(french twist I think) and a nice on heading opening. I now have alot more respect for his sport and wish I posted this along time ago.I can't wait to watch him in West Virginia. Thanks again, Rudy.....D-17

I can answer any questions you got......nothing to do at work any way...

Hey everyone. I need some advice on how to get my son to stop pushing the envelope in Base. He has over 1000 skydives and about 500 Base Jumps.I have no problem when he does the high stuff but in Canada there isn't alot of high objects.Also his friend Lawny just recently got hurt and he has over a thousand. I have been in the sport for 45 yrs now and my son grew up on a dropzone.He did his first jump at 10 and never stoped.He is very safe at both diciplines but I can't help but shit my pants when i see him jump 250ft and open 30ft over the ground. When I talk to him he say's"Dad, you test jumped canopies for CSPA, and your lecturing me?" Is any body out there going through the same thing?
