Ratings and Rigging

  1. Mate in my opinion (and opinions are like arse holes every one has one,but for what mine is worth,hear goes).Paratec a German company who produces the Next rig has the best riser covers in the market for the simple reasone.Whilst most manufacturers have their tuck tabs in an open position which means that their normal position is open whilst Paratec simplified the system by making them in a natural closed position which means that if its natural position is closed why should it want to open when not needed.Please check their rigs out cause their construction and simplisity make it one of the most functional rigs out there.I have picked rigs of the ground by the tuck flaps without them opening and no not knew rigs but with a few years of use.As the say dare to be diferent.German engeniring,what can i say.

    Help i lost my dog.

    Hi my name is Nuno and i was the rigger at skydive Lillo in Spain in 2006.Any one who knows me knew Simba my Ridgeback.The reasone i ask for help is not to find Simba who unfortunatly ran away from my work site looking for me,this happened in Lisbon,Portugal.Unfortunatly i have not found my best freind.What i ask for is this,during my time in Lillo alot of people from around the world got to meet Simba and many of these people took fotos and video of Simba.I know that a group of British Skydivers made a movie with Simba where they did a 4way jump with simba on creepers.What i ask is that anyone who might have been to Lillo in 2006 and remembers Simba and might have fotos or video of Simba could you please do me this big favor and send it to me.My mail is [email protected] .I thank you all to for taking the time to read this post and any help would be greatly apreciated.In memory of Simba where ever he might be.

    track pants

    Mate track pants are made for tracking and not freeflying.Learn to freefly without aids cause you will not learn the correct technique and will become dependent on them and allso you cannot controll your fall rate as well.Invest in coaching jumps cause thats where the secret lies.Also learn to track without the pants and when youve grasped that then go on to the track pants.Tracking is excelent fun.Have a good one and blue skies and löng safe swoops.

    Hello

    Hello,my name is Nuno and i`m from Portugal.I`m 34yrs old have 376 jumps.Have not jumped in a year nd a half,cause in my last jump i was attacked by planet earth.Just minding my own buisness when wham it hit me.I tried to avoid it but our planet is verry big.Seriously i lost my right toggle 3meters from the ground after a 90 degree front risser turn.Tried to get the back rissers at least i think i did,but was to close to the ground.Was jumping a Faqtor 135 with a wing loading of 1.6.Broke my femure in 2 places and a vertebrei? in 6 places and luckely it did not afect my medula,so i can walk.At the moment i`m in Germany doing my master riggers course at Paratec,should be finished soon.Well thats about all,thanks for your time,and if there is anything i can do to help any one pleas feel free to ask.C U and blue skies and long safe swoops.
