I have close to 1000 tandems in the last 2 1/2 years and so far enjoyed all of them. I have flown the sigma 390's, 370's, Precision and the A2 with 0 malfunctions, and with 0 line twists. This year i started jumping the icarus 330 and have 250 jumps on these mains this season. I constantly have line twists on this canopy and i hate it. I had my first tandem chop last weekend on jump 16 of the day due to line twists. My personal main is a vx 79 in wich i have 500 jumps on it. I constantly look at my videos when i have line twists and body position is not the issue. If somebody can help me out with some advice to get through this problem i would greatly appreciate it.

Thats badass! A canadian aswell eh! My 100th was at Okanagon Skydive Adventures last July. My first trip out west. We did a 4-way hybrid! I'll never forget that jump!

I just made my 500th skydive this past weekend at Skydive Toronto. We did a 2 plane cessna 182 sunset formation load succesfully completing a 10-way round. After holding this for about 5 seconds I was then attacked in freefall by three of my closest friends! So I was wondering what did you do on your milestone jumps? Oh ya, Thanks Mothergoose for making my jump happen, you really are my wingman!

I cant picture life without jumpin right now. ive done 472 jumps since last feb, 250 jumps since june.... and im only 21!!!!! I am currently cutting away my $50,000 a year job to go fly camera! So YES, you are not the only one to have these feelings and desires! my suggestion........ CUT AWAY!
