I am looking for some up close pics or specific instructions for routing the pull-up cord/packing tool cord around the closing pin on a Mirage G3 container in order to prevent "burn" on the closing pin.

Hi Henri: Welcome to the forums and welcome to the time of your life! I'm 37 and from Kansas. Don't sweat not having jumped yet, as you can gain alot of info from these forums. They are great! Trust me...your first jump will be worth the wait. I fully understand the financial windfalls you are going through. After my first jump course I was hooked, and currently work two part-time jobs in addition to my full-time job; all because I have fallen in love with this sport and can't seem to get enough.

Here in the Midwest, winter temps can be down right unbearable at times, even with blue skies as far as the eye can see. I am curious as to what thermal gear, if any, that others are using during cold weather jumps. I'm going put Under Armour cold weather gear to the test this winter, and was just curious as to its claim to fame. Stay safe and Blue Skies!

In researching the purchase of my first jumpsuit, I am considering the Slipstream II due to costs. Just curious as to feedback from those who have used them and whether or not it would make for a good all around suit.

Welcome aboard! The hard part is over---making the ultimate descision. You won't regret it at all. Chast that A license like the skies, stay safe and blue skies!

Congratulations and best wishes with the tandem. Once you taste the skies, you'll know why the birds sing! Stay safe and blue skies!

Try the Skydive Store at www.skydivestore.com. They advertise booties in their jumpsuit section and also offer to match the booties to an existing jumpsuit. I believe they do all the sewing and altering. Hope this helps and BLUE SKIES!

I have recently completed the IAD portion of my training and will be working on PPCT's as part of the ISP. The SIM vaguely explains the PPCT, so my question is, while performing the PPCT, are they performed in the same manner as the IAD (hang and release from wing strut)? The SIM states that the last PPCT and Hop-n-Pop must be completed in the same day, so is the Hop-n-Pop performed belly first, or in the same manner as the IAD or PPCT. Sorry if this is a silly question, but trying to comprehend the SIM can be confusing at times. Thanks much and BLUE SKIES to all! gstukey Kansas
