  1. Fuck you are a boring whinging prick aren't you.
  2. Here is a vid i found on youtube of a guy spending 10 secs getting stable after cutting away from a spinning malfunction. He opens pretty bloody low. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCZPuc-c_6g
  3. Dude that is so black death You should always go right to left with slinks both sides
  4. So, why did you unhook the lines from the links they were on? Why not? Its how people learn and its not rocket science to correct any mistakes prior to jumping it
  5. Just curious, whats wrong with the risers in this pic?
  6. I like customers who are interested enough in their equipment to see exactly how it works. I don't mind when they bring in their reserves already assembled. Of course, I'm going to verify it's done correctly. And I don't mind when they bring in other work they've done to see if they've done it right. I think customers like that are more likely to be safer jumpers (risk management for me!), they are more likely to be repeat customers, and they are likely to bring me other new business. Mark Well, I took my rig to my rigger for its first pack and when he saw I had assembled it he frowned a little but carried on with a full inspection of everything. When he was done with the repack he told me I was the first he could remember who had brought gear to him assembled and done it all the right way
  7. Thanks for all the replies guys. Just to be clear, I am not assembling my gear to save my rigger time I am doing it to learn about my gear. I am quite aware that he will go over everything and may pull the lines off the risers and reassemble them. I am not fussed about that. I certainly wouldn't take my gear to him again if he simply grabbed my gear and repacked it without checking everything out first.
  8. Yep and I fully respect the fact that your job is to do a FULL inspection, and my job is to know as much about my gear as possible. For what its worth, assembling the various components as per the manual is not rocket science and so long as you don't snag lines on hook velcro, or pick at the lines it is my opinion that there is far more to be gained for a newish jumper doing this than leaving it to a rigger. Why not hook up my own reserve?
  9. Cheers for the replies guys. As I said I am getting it packed up this weekend and will go over everything with my rigger. Just was curious about the bridal/pc attachment and the only reason I asked was it was the only thing I needed to know that was NOT in the manual. Cheers again
  10. Howdy, I just bought a new container and reserve
  11. 'we were told any ONE connector would keep the student attached during deployment' Does anyone know if any tests have been done to determine what effect having only one clip attached has on the opening?
  12. Thanks for the replies folks, now I have an idea what to expect. Bring on next weekend!
