    gear advice??

    Thanks for the info., And, you are right beer is good food.
  2. ya, I only do a few skydives a year, maybe bridge day, I am ok with f111, like you said , as long as you do not load them up to bad. For a strickly skydiving canopy z p is the way to go for most people. I never jumped tired f111, but I have seen a few tired rags sold to new jumpers, and I watched them thump in!!! And, then you here these people say, man don't buy one of those, I had one they are crap, go figure.

    gear advice??

    I posted yesterday, asking about norway and regulations there, thanks for the great site. Here is the deal. I put 500 skydives on a sharpchuter, 245 sq. ft., and also 2 dozen more base jumps at bd and in t falls. I really have no interest in base jumping anything other than the big wall in norway. I do about 40-50 skydives a year, a trip to bridgeday, that is it. I am happy with the around performance of my sharpchuter, but I need to replace it. I know of a dagger 244 for a good price, 20 jumps on it. I weigh 175lbs naked. Why wouldn't this canopy perform as good as my sharpchuter on skydives, and to go to norway I could put it in a proper cont. and jump it there?? I have not really seen the landing area there. I might be pushing it with the wing loading, what do you guys think??
  4. Anyone jumping a superraven for a main? What is your wing loading? How does it perform for you? how many jumps do you have on it? thanks

    norway gear?

    Can still use a skydive rig at the popular exits in norway? If you use a base specific container, could you use say a super raven, maybe loaded around.85.... say the person jumping this canopy was very skilled in flying this canopy? I have only seen the landing area on video.. also sail or mesh slider?
