  2. After seeing, a cut away followed by no outs, i believe in having one or the other. No cypress, rsl No rsl, cypress. To add, i used to believe that if you have cypress you don't need rsl until last weekend. And how bad of a linetiwst can it be under f111 super square reserve??? Much better than fumbling, fumbling, and bounce. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  3. By moving the production from us to honduras, they've succesfully took away atleast three jobs, If you look on bright side they've just created three jobs in honduras Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  4. can you reach high speed toggle stall, even when your toggle is set long enough so that you can't ever stall em??? Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  5. Friend of mine had cervical spine fusion, jumped over 300-400 times, He had mal and choped and reserve opening broke his neck again. if you can not take additional injury to spine or if you have existing shoulder dislocation history, then don't jump. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  6. what gear is tso'd for 240 lbs students to begin with?? Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  7. CIMSA has shitty customer service, NZAerosport has pretty decent to excellent customer service. Neos comes from CIMSA/ Spain JVX/JFX the awesome stuff comes from nzaerosports. don't get them confused. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  8. it is a lose, lose and lose situation if you win against a girl. well everyone will stone you if you lose against a girl, that is just horrible. it is kinda hard to beat women up without drinking alchohol first,, you know Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  9. Fuck off would be a nice start. Icarus Fuck Yeah!! if you don't like our openings than Fuck Off!! Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  10. looked like perfect opening, that opening is what i try to pack for every single time. even endcell closure and slider barely pushing down. and my safire did that, my crossfire, katana and my jvx does that. as your wingloading increases it will snivel less. Get use to slow openings, it is year 2010, we pull high and we go thru 750ft plus openings. Gone are the days of pulling at 2000 and have sabre1 openings. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  11. seriously where are all these young cute and limber chicks??? i guess im at a wrong dz. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  12. post video frame please. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  13. There is much closer one at lake elsinore and perris Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  14. I find my jvx opening to be soft as crossfire. What year is your jvx 72 made???? Everyone i know with one raves about its opening. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  15. i was waiting for someone to say this, Golf cart kills more people yearly than any canopy accident combined. speed wise if 747 jet wing is nascar 3.0 wingloaded x-braced is a golf cart. Im pretty sure that if you know how to fly with an muilti jet engine rating, you can figure out how to pull down a toggle and sets of risers. Every pilot that i know jokes about how simple and premitive the canopy flight is compare to what they've been flying. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  16. How about JVX???? they open just like crossfire. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  17. Competition Velocity has snaps on the slider. I asked all jumpers and half says it opens better with snaps, and half says it doesn't do anything besides slowing them down packing. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  18. I too was about to say something about this. In five to ten years and if you regularly skydive, 200+ jumps a year than you probably won't have to run them out. I hope to see an old pilot under x-brace kicking youngster's ass Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  19. Most of the golf carts are fwd And nascar stock race car is rwd Your point is?? Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  20. Im pretty sure that nascar driver knows how to drive a golf cart.. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  21. Problem is that no one here at dz.com sees your landing regularly enough to say anything. You know how the wing works so jump it. Just keep in mind that human body is very very fragile, and they really break at something that seemes minimal impact. You sound older than most skydivers, between 20 to 30. And older machine tends to break easier. And finally if something seemes off, you always have option to take it in straight. Again, canopy choice should be done according to skill level not jump number. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  22. One of my friend started to jump velo with less than 400 jumps at 2.1 wingload you better step up. I too think that number rule should be thrown out in some cases. Two of my pilot friends landed inside 10 meter target using s turns on aff level one. I couln't do that until jump number 100. Some will progess sooner than the other, and some doesn't progress at all. If you are looking for a justification, you probably are not experienced enough, all those i know with rapid downsize and heavy wing load for their jump number, really did not ask anyone if they can jump it, they just jump em. But they do have to reliese that human body isn't designed to land anything more than 10 mph. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  23. Infinity????? Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  24. I jumped Sabre 1 and cobalt that opened really really shitty. No matter what I did, single or double stow it opened hard. I always tell people that if you own a fast opening canopy it will open fast no matter what you do. ie, rolling the nose in, wrapping the tail more than others, double stowing the band. Key to soft opening is to get a soft opening canopy. I only single stow my lines, I did try double stowing for more than 50 jumps less than 100. and I feel with single stow initial snatch is definitely quicker but once it comes out the bag it feels the same. Only with double stows I feel weird hesitation between PC throw and canopy out and sometimes resulting in linetwist. I'm not saying that I never get slammer with my openings, sometimes it happens. But I've decided that occasional hard opneing is much better than occasional line twist. and I use very tight black small rubber bands and i have 350 lbs hma. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  25. Too much regulation sucks the fun out of the sport. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
