  1. Yes, quick release from Sky Systems.
  2. Today in our drop zone, Canelones, Uruguay, jumped in tandem two brothers, one blind and the other almost totally blind. It was really emotive to witness how they enjoyed their experience.
  3. In this case the drogue mainteined in the bubble, when the TI feel the fabric in his arm, pushed it and the handle too. Thank you very much.
  4. Hi, I have a question. Event: the TI pulls one main handle and lost it simultaneously with the drogue, and then open the main without freefall. The passenger did not realize. The jump was with video. What you do? Repeat the jump for free, say nothing, do not give the video, explain what happened... The TI get money for his job? Thanks for your answers. Blues skies

  7. Main Spectre 210 w/l 1.15 Reserve PDR 193 w/l 1.25 1 ride, I no feel diference.
  8. Sorry for my english. My instructor put in my protec an audible in my 18 jump. I learn by static line and in that jump was the first in I will open looking The altimeter. Had to open at 4000 feet and put the alarm in 3500. It worked for me in that jump and in the next.
  9. You are talking about spending between $8000 to $24000 (cheapest 10 hours, more expensive 20 hours) in tunnel. 4 weeks: $15 (in the dropzone) to $40 (hotel) per day, $450 to $1200. Food, $600. Car rental $150 per week. Plus jumps. Choose the best tunnel for you, no the cheaper travel from Soudafrica.Quote
  10. I have a Mamba and a skytronic GFX without problem. Two years ago and try to put the skytronic in oxign and no fit, but I don't know if no change in this time.
  11. And if you forget to close it too easy to do in free fall, but if the jump was with 32 other skydivers, ready for the jokes. Seriously, I forget to close the display stand and smooth wind in freefall.
  12. In S/L when we began to command we counted for open: 1001, 1002, 1003… At certain moment we start to open watching the altimeter and we used audible so that if one goes of the established height, sound. For example, we jump from 6000 and we open to 4500, but we put the audible at 4000. And it serves to the instructor to know the height what the student opened if not jump with him.Quote
  13. my country only there is S/L. If it had been able to make the AFF in one week, it would not have doubted it.
  14. If I include jumps, rig, helmet, suit, travel from Uruguay to Argentina, to California, to Florida, tunel time, it's $80/jump. And I will go to Perris for next Big Way Camp and then... plus AAD... This is a horrible thread!!!
