  1. I might be there, but I will probably have to go back to work at some point in time.

    That's where I got my start. Did a 2 stack with Jerry Mc. on my 32nd jump. :)

    Nice! Very cool "shark-ish" colors, too! ;)

    Shark-rig 4.0 currently in production.... B|



    I saw your rig the last time I was down in 'Snore. I'll let you believe I used it as a starting point for mine if it makes you feel good.;)

    Once rig 4.0 gets delivered, make sure to post it to so I can see if it measures up to mine.:P

    Last weekend I attempted L3 and will have to repeat,
    From my point of view, I don't recall going TOO unstable.



    Which is exactly why I include video on every one of my student jumps.
    Get it next tme and you'll have no questions as to why.....

    >Last time I saw Jerry - was at a PIA Symposium 3 years ago . . .

    Last time I saw him he was selling an old Ghostriders rig (I still have it) and was calling himself "Gerald" instead of "Jerry." For those of you who knew him when he was on Ghostriders, that's quite a change.



    ....more like "Jerome." :ph34r:

    Dont let a wind tunnel influence were you go through AFF. You may never need the tunnel through your AFF training, but if it's recommended, it's just over the hill. ;)
    If your close enough to get to either Perris or Elsinore, choose the one that suits you the best.

    Shark is a great AFF-I over at Elsinore. You may want to chat with him alittle.

    I gave him one of his first feathers when he was just a chick..... ;):D

    :D:D

    I might add that the tunnel is also an integral part of our AFF program.

    Got 3 students tomorrow. Ooops! I mean later this morning. (Can't get use to this time change.):ph34r:

  17. Congratulations to both of you. Be a good instructor and mentor for your students.
    Keep learning and improving your skills. Be humble as well. It'll be a lot of fun.

    Any canopy can be swooped, but given the same pilot, some canopies are flat out better than others.



    Only if properly trained, but then again a fast canopy makes anyone fast.

    BTW, a Sabre2 has a longer recovery arc than a Stiletto, does that make it any better?

    Qualify your statements.

    In case you haven't figured it out, it's all about the pilot.



    Nuh uh! It's all about how you look!:P



    Exactly! Gotta have the coolest colors on the coolest canopy! I've got great style in the packing area. B|

    Try a Nitro(n) or a Crossfire 2 instead, those canopies actually exist and both will out-swoop a Stiletto.



    I know several dudes that can swoop Stilettos very well.
