70sdiver

I just started back after breaking my c-4 vertabrea and having it rebuilt with some of my hip bone.Funny when you dont feel up to a long freefall that some ppl give you a bunch of crap about hop and pops lol.My neck always aches but Im not paralyized so i count my blessing i found that working out in the gym really helps.For a while i was paralyized in my leg and arm and found i only had a few true freinds which was sad but thats the way it goes

well I'm supposed to be disabled acorrding to my docs lol ,Screw them.I was in a rollover and broke my c-4 vertabra in 12 pieces they rebuilt it from my hip bone.This sept I made a hop and pop at 5 grand.Ive made 6 jumps since sept.I still have to sleep in a chair at night and after jumping my neck is sore for a few days but I hope it will get better as time goes if not what the hell lol.If You really want to jump again you can,get a big docile canopy and land very conservitive thats what I'm doing .Almost all docs will try and ground ya lol.If nothin else you could always be a packer.Hope you heal soon

Hey gang ,any anvils that can give me some advice on jumpsuits?I'm at 69 jumps and weight 260 I'm jumping a javelin j-7 ,falcon 300 main with a new

Make sure that the sale is contingent on you and your riggers inspection and mutual satisfaction.If its an older rig (as was mine) price what it will cost you to have any modifcations that you feel will need to be done and decide if its a good deal.I bought a javlin 1992 mfg.date that was rol and had soft houseings.It only had 59 jumps on it and looked like new.I did send it in to sunpath for hard housing and a boc pouch and they also did a bridle protection on it and set it up for a cypress.

Just got a quote on a new harness for a javelin standard harness is 350.00 +15.00 rig inspection and shipping.A ringed harness is 650.00 +15.00 rig inspection and shipping.If the harness is already ringed its only 450.00

i havent flat packed it but ill give her a try.Thank you

lol dont speed it up

thanks im going to try it for sure.

ok I been thinking of a 260 tri how does yours open and fly?also i have a pd-281 in my javlin.

From jump school ft. benning ga. 1974 When in doubt whip it out

I also sent percision an email asking about a bigger slider.Thanks all you guys for the help.P.S. I like my falcon once the openings are over.

it was built in 1990 but was only jumped 38 times and ive put 19 on it.it has dacron lines and the material looks shiney and new.

Ok I've got a falcon 300 loaded just under 1:to 1 im about 290 out the door fully geared up.The problem is this canopy opens hard about every other jump .Every opening is quick but every other one is rough.We've tried rolling the nose flat packed ,pro pack rolling the nose and tail .and psyco packing is next.My question is if the psyco dont tame the beast would a larger slider help.Any ideas will help !!!

what size canopys does that hold?

alright sounds like an awesome day.

I didnt know you were in town ...just got a pd281 reserve hope to get back jumping in a week or two.Glad you didnt have to wade the river lol

ok so at 75 jumps a triathalon at 1.08.im jumpin a falcon 300 now and am looking at a triathalon 260 .Been trying to find some one thats jumped them i searched the post but dont find to much on there flight charachteristics.

also you should have the persons rig entered on there name and address page and link to the other pages that its needed on.

I had to start on a halo chute Did some static lines tehn on to freefall i lost weight got down to 250 ibs i jump a falcom 300 also have a pd 300.I have a raven Iv reserve that im replacing with a pd-281 next week.I have to thank larry at richland skysport ,he actuallt got a rig for me to use from another dz so i could get the static lines i needed ...Thanks Larry Ask at some of the dz maybe they can borrow a rig from another dz.

I have the same problem...I have went to putting new rubber bands on my d bag after every jump and that helped a lot also i reach up and have my hands on the back of the risers this seems to stand me up and the opening dont seem as rough.Good luck

Thanks for the answers guys i appreciate it!!!

Probably been answered but i cant find it ,when I rent a sabre2 for demo does it have the pilot chute and d bag or do i use the one in my rig.Also do i pay shipping and hadleing both ways.Thanks

lol since you work there i need some advice Im weighting in at 250 need a suit that will slow me down for belly flying in the 70s i wore a ballon suit .What would you recommend im jumping a javelin with a pd 300.

i havent checked yet but doesnt uspa have an insurance affiliate that covers skydiving deaths...anyone useing it?

What year is your javelin.Some older ones like mine which was mfn. in 1992 didnt have hard houseing for the cutaway cable...a few ppl have gone in trying to cutaway.I had sunpath install them on my container.I think if you call them and give them the serial number (a good idea in case of a saftey bulletin or recall)they will sell you a manual.If not let me know and ill photostat mine and send it to you.you have a picture of your Javelin?
