  4. Shalom, Tandem use, Size M, Still working after 200 TJ's May the force be with you Taz PS:Buy a tight one ;-)
  5. hello dudes, got one toggle stocked too and I had to jettison my main so use the snaps ( when they are still there ) & personally I have passed the control line through the toggle grommet from the top of the toggle so the loop retainer can't get over anymore. May the force be with you ! Banzai ! Xophe

  9. that is a personal attack! I was merely discussing tandem techniques. i thought that is what this forum was for!! where is the moderator in this forum that was just rude Yes it is because of your behavior. You are a noob and don't even understand why you will crash using an inadequat landing technic, probably endangering your life, your passenger's lives and screwing up the lives of other DZ's users! ... Here was my answer . Xtophe PS : It seems as soon as a piss contest is on, you are in. Do you ever feel like you need to justify the way you practice your job ? PS2 : Yes, some Tandem factories use tiny tandem canopies because they usualy land in high Winds, the "good4yourarmsafter14jumps" Label and because they also spend less time under canopy & Time is Money !
  10. +1. The goal of any Tandem is to give the student a fun and safe jump. Many times landing on your ass is easier and safer than trying to stand up. +1 Amen, that is right !

  14. Joseph, The last one :1st Class - Airline Transport Pilots . Your are right, we renew our first class medical certificate every year ( Fighting fit ! ) because we are flying passengers too, By the way, French Parapros will have mandatory recurrency jumps training & exams in the future.

  16. Oh man, Are you a sadistic Tandem master ? Blue sky & may the force be with you Xtophe
  17. Hello Birds, Oh man, Do you know the mount everest ? Really, forget. It would be too difficult, an one-year course at least because I think there is no cross-training available.

He is in charge of the Safety and Training. May the force be with you. Blue sky Chris

  21. hey Rhys, First, I do hope your new business is doing good. I have switched my old PA 365 for a FCI rage 360 and they are very similar canopies : they do the job just fine !!!! and I got a good bargain so .... Red may be a pain to deal with but I think he is a good guy. Blue sky Taz PS : I have jumped Icarus 360, PA365, BT80, A2 389, firebolt 350, Sigmas mains & all of those workhorses do what they are designed for
  22. Hello Birds, I own 2 Sigma's loaded with nice Rage 360. Yes, I am over the pond and here it's a requirement for an independent contractor. We usually get 105 US$ per jump & 55 US$ more for a H/C shoot. Cost of the life,Taxes + what Mr Unstable brillantly has written above explain why we earn a bit more . Blue sky Taz
  23. Hey birds, Pull Low, Bounce high blue skies Taz
