For best results, have vidiot give the exit count! BASE 1384

Caravan Deluxe huh? BASE 1384

Sounds like a bulletproof plan to me BASE 1384

Did you try posting in the bonfire? BASE 1384

I know a guy that used to test out his 48 Inch pilot chutes by attaching them to stray cats and tossing them off lowish buildings. Supposedly worked pretty well actually. BASE 1384

Thats called a stall, Paul. Set your toggles right next time! haha BASE 1384

Skydive Arizona will fly theirs from time to time, usually at their big boogies.

You lost me. Could you be more clear? Did you eat paint chips as a child? BASE 1384

Right on. Either way it is retarded! To Keith: Don't be afraid of your reserve! BASE 1384

I don't know how accurate the rear riser landing statements you made are. I have about 100 rear riser landings on various canopies (135 - 288) in different situations and I have always walked backed no problem. It is a different type of flare and you need to know what you are doing to have it go off properly. To the OP, a repack is going to cost less than replacing a cut brake line plus it is better to cutaway for safety. There is a possibility that the line can tangle with other lines. It is not likely but it could happen. At that point it could be too low to cutaway. I never did understand why some people are scared to use their reserves. That is what it is there for in case shit happens. Your theory of cutting the brake line above the toggle can be easier said than done in reality. Have you ever landed a canopy on rear risers when the steering lines have been completely disconected? The whole back part of the canopy is completely worthless. There is a HUGE difference landing a parachute on rears, and doing it without the rear portion of the canopy. I agree with the rest of your post about being scared to cut away though. Edit: Lepka beat me to it (with a much better explanation) Except the OP isnt talking about routing his steering line outside the guide ring (LRT), he is talking about routing through the guidering, and using a special toggle that you can jetteson if you need to. Many BASE jumpers use them for slider up jumps, where the steering line is routed through the slider and the guide ring. If anyone is curious what the OP is talking about: http://www.apexbase.com/product.php?product_id=134 BASE 1384

+1 I put close to 200 jumps on my MXV before adding cameras to it. Of course now I need to buy a regular helmet because I dont like to fun jump with my video helmet. BASE 1384

Dude I dont even use WLO toggles for slider up BASE jumping. If I see someone with giant WLOs hooked up to their skydiving rig, I would laugh in their face. Are you scared of cutting away or something? BASE 1384

I thought we had you all convinced for a re-shoot of that garage (and wife)??? What happened to that! BASE 1384

Not sure about the rest, but you can take THAT to the bank! BASE 1384

Really..... I am not sure but I would lean the other way..... who knows. pretty sure he was being sarcastic. Especially knowing the reckless tea drinking hooligans who jump in the 'natti BASE 1384

My TI buddy yesterday he is planning on starting to pitch in a track to better prepare himself for precision openings! BASE 1384

And if you are friends with the Cinci Crew, then I am terribly sorry for you BASE 1384

"Because you are a women, you have 30 skydives, and your patterns resemble a drunken snake" hahaha BASE 1384

poorly BASE 1384

1. sell your rig 2. use that cash to buy a BASE rig 3. I have no idea where you are going, but there is probably something to jump off of. 4. If you start to feel burned out again, pull lower next time! BASE 1384

Looks like I will be there! BASE 1384
