Here is the picture it runs parrallel in the relation of the span of the canopy if that makes any difference.

I will try to take a picture. It is in the center of the cell and i have plenty of working room. It is a straight tear 5.5 inches long, running from left to right.

You mean actually do research and not just show up and try to bite off more then I can chew. never

I will see if I can make it down to Z-flock. Thanks for the help I appreciate it.

I thought that is what you had to do if you wanted to learn to fly wingsuit before 500 jumps. Am I mistaken?

I have looked are Bird-man.com and the closest BMI is in Virgina. Are there any other instructors that are around to be able to teach or do I need to make the trek to VA? Thanks for your help.

I have looked in the poynter manual's and in the forum's but I cannot find any info on this. I want to repair a 5.5 inch hole in the bottom skin of my canopy. It is in the center of the cell and it looks like a straight cut/snag. Does the repair need to be a square or can I do a rectangular patch? Is there a difference in how it will effect the whole of that cell? are square patches more efficient then rectangular ones?

I have looked all over the place for a 31-15 and haven't turned up anything. Does anyone know of a similar singer that I can use to do canopy work. I don't want a new machine from kmart either

Congrats!

Thanks Aaron, I plan on gaining as much knowledge as I can. I am lucky enough to have an amazing master rigger to learn under and hopefully be a master rigger myself one day. One step at a time.

Just got my riggers ticket. Anyone thinking about the class should sign up for next year. Dave is an amazing teacher.

I just called Square1 and they said that it will ship today. Is this true or was that just the grinch messing with me?

You stated that it wasn't load bearing. Would it bear the load of me doing a static line, or will I bring the tower with me

Merry Christmas!

Was wondering what kind of tower this was, am or fm, also am i going to lose my testicles with those white things on the side? Thanks

The way I heard it makes a lot more sense... " What is the difference between a truck full of sand and a truck full of dead babies?" You can't pitch fork sand. and on the same line "What is the difference between sand and menstrual fluid?" You can't gargle sand.

As it stated in Skydiving magazine with Johnny Utah and Mike Pelky jumping from the bridge. I don't mean to make it a small thing but Mike has not made a BASE jump in 40 years and they don't even recognize it or make a small quote for him. I just think it was rotten and disrespectful to him. Sorry for the rant.

Hey pope can you pm me also with the site to order that shirt from. thanks, ben

Along the same lines, if a mentor cannot be found to help continute it how many go it alone to continue?

Here is the video I shot from my jumps. http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=2841

Ok maybe that came out wrong. I wasn't trying to state that everyone should try it. I think a lot of experience in canopy control and skydiving helps. But having the saftey of the bridge and no worries about a strike made it easy. It is only the beginning of my love of BASE.

I made 2 jumps at Bridge Day. Solo on my first and a 2-way on my second. How can anyone not try this sport. It is the most amazing thing I have ever experienced. Met a lot of cool new people and hope to jump with some of you one day.

You can never take it to fast. There is so much to learn in less then 60 seconds I want to get as much learning as possible. Dirt diving and talking about the dive only can go so far. You need to be up there doing it.

Awsome, I was trying to get two other people to get them with me so we could get sequential numbers but they don't jump WHORE as much as me.
