imo it should still be sent to your rigger in escrow... unless you just want to send money to someone you dont know before getting anything in return... if thats the case you can just send me the check... -------------------------------------------- www.facebook.com/agentlead

my heart goes out to all of the staff at mile hi following this tragedy.. i had never met dan but it sounds from reading this thread that he was a great person and he will be sorely missed. blue stuff... -------------------------------------------- www.facebook.com/agentlead

honestly i didnt want to jump a much smaller canopy..and i know that the safire2 that i was flying..the 189..leveled out immediately upon release of the fronts..it was like a spring..boing! so far i have about 20 jumps on the kat170 and i really love it...im not really wanting to go much smaller then that...this is why i expect to be on the 170 for quite some time..its really an amazing canopy and a world of difference for me... im taking a Brian Germain canopy course in may and im organizing a course with Jeffro in june at the ranch..im also planning on meeting up with Tj and getting some coaching with him at the end of the summer on the left coast... im taking this downsize pretty seriously..because to me..someone who has only jumped safires and sabres in the 210-190 range..to goto a katana..its a very large change in flight characteristics..i see that and i do not take it lightly and i want to be well informed and trained so i not only keep myself safe but i also keep my friends safe.and i learn and have fun and REALLY pilot the canopy in the process... anyone who knows me will tell you that i dont just jump into things without thinking it thru and researching it throughly..and i always seek advice, training and tips from the best of the best.. that being said...i cant wait to learn more.. -agent -------------------------------------------- www.facebook.com/agentlead

order yourself a demo...what size would you be flying? i dont advise downsizing... -------------------------------------------- www.facebook.com/agentlead

Ahh, gotta love quotes taken out of context Yup, I did a rear riser flare with my feet and still managed an uneventful stand-up landing?!? it wasnt taken out of context..i know you didnt actually use your feet to spread the rears...i totally understand what you meant..which makes it even funnier to me.. -------------------------------------------- www.facebook.com/agentlead

shatalov, make sure you point and laugh at yak as he sent shannon a 3 page letter explaining why he would be the perfect fit for the team...and then called me the NEXT day to tell me all about it..and then when i told him it was a april fools joke he said "fuck..im an asshole" over and over for like 10 mins.. oh that made my day... -------------------------------------------- www.facebook.com/agentlead

nice pia...cant wait to see you fly that baby this weekend.. shes a beast! -------------------------------------------- www.facebook.com/agentlead

totally co-signed.. although i dont do crw of any sort i can still attest to the quality of this boogie.. highly recommended -------------------------------------------- www.facebook.com/agentlead

i had plans to come with lots of ranch hands..but im starting a new job next month and prolly wont be able to get off for the boogie...however most of the other people will prolly still be going.. kinda sucks as i was really looking forward to the full on experience.. ill still try my best to get there.. -------------------------------------------- www.facebook.com/agentlead

i know theres a rep at the ranch but shouldnt this info be on their website already? not everyone has a rep at their home dz... -------------------------------------------- www.facebook.com/agentlead

so whats up its been over a year and i still dont see this canopy on the website... no info about it basically anywhere? are they even trying to sell it? -------------------------------------------- www.facebook.com/agentlead

i dont want my license plate to be any more memorizable then it is currently.. last thing i would ever want is a vanity license plate... -------------------------------------------- www.facebook.com/agentlead

i gave this a shot last weekend and it actually opened up a little faster...but still soft...its something ill have to perfect of course..but i like the concept.. thanks dave..when will you be back to the ranch? -------------------------------------------- www.facebook.com/agentlead

i recently downsized from a safire 190 to a katana 170..at first i wasnt sure about it but i had several highly respected jumpers at my dz saying that it was about that time for me.. well i have put about 20 jumps on it and i love it..ive landed it flawlessly in light winds..no winds..strong winds..slight downwinds..tight spots..really trying to run the gamut of situations on landing..before making any high performance attempts..but i have also vowed to do only hop n pops untill mid june..this is because id much rather be in the sky alone for the first 70 or so jumps so i can get SOME taste of how she handles without being in a pattern with 23 other canopies before im actually ready to be.. i love the new canopy and i realized very quickly that it was not the same in any way as the safire, and that bad shit can happen..fast.. i hate to sound so cliched but i will be flying it conservatively for about 100-150 jumps and then im gonna start getting a little more aggressive with it gradually.. i really just want to make sure that im not going to endanger any of my friends up there...im taking canopy flight training from some of the best pilots at my dz..and im learning alot.. it feels good to learn and conquer a new beast...just dont let the beast conquer you... that being said...the jump your looking to make is a much larger jump then i made..i think you should really do something in between for a bunch of jumps first...and do not put your friends in danger...you should be doing hop n pops exclusively for some time if your going to make that jump in canopy size/planform.. this is just my personal opinion on things..im no expert.. -agent -------------------------------------------- www.facebook.com/agentlead

i was all gung ho about taking the day off and coming there on thursday...and then i remembered that i sold my rig..and dont get my new one till may... goddammit..i have this brand new katana here and no rig to put it in! -------------------------------------------- www.facebook.com/agentlead
