  1. Cool but I'll give it 0 point (you didn't drag water) nice one AM67
  2. Well I took Brian Germain two times (phd) and Brian Vecher once (BA and MBA) and I'll remmende to anyone and will do it again. But it you (d123) are talking about Jo with 800 jumps that ask for $25 p/p And he say to you i"ll teach you to fly a canopy , yes he can very Nice land and swoop But is he a good teacher !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just my two cents Amir AM67
  3. If I read it correct he was going about 90mph until 150ft (50m) , is it possibale to get out of it Vertical speed in that distance ?? Amir AM67
  4. Good Q that I would like to get answer too. Let say we go with 2 jumper hi hop flying side by side one on [email protected] en second [email protected] .what is the speed sink rate do 180 hom much hight is lost and so on. At one point they are the same or or 170sqf has to put some weight let say @1.2 and test again. Is that been tested and if where I can read about it. *** ps*** 8 years in the sport 550 jump alot of blaa,blaa,bla and never answer to simple question Please Amir AM67
  5. finally a good answer. the only thing I can add is that with down wind, turbelent/wind sheer will have will result in unpleasent fall ( let say you land against 10 mph wind and at the end turbelnt/ gust (15mph for one second) then insted of 2 steps you make one and stop(land). when douwnwind the same condition you will be drop down on the ground without chance to run it out AM67
  6. just go to PD PD stocklist sport canopies pick type canopy and you can see what standaard color at that moment are for sell [url] http://www.performancedesigns.com/store_stockmain.asp AM67
  7. Yes It is Ducth regulation I don't have them with me so I'll post them another time . but for me in short after 400 jumps I can go to category 4 which I don't see any canopy that I really like to jump as long as my wingload is not more then 1.5 and no canopy smaller then 135ft2 Yes we have a lot of rules here Are there less skydivers dead then in the US maybe,but the number of jump in the Netherlands is way less then in the US ( I think somewhere in 100,000 per year may be with one fatality. maybe someone in the US knows how many jump are made there) * ps in my club PCMN we make ± 5,500 jumps / year * in Eloy holidayboogie 2003 we made 2,000 per day both friday and saturday AM67
  8. I though 90kl 198lb + 20 gear = 218 / 150 = 1.45 I guess I lost some weight but it still nice to see that some people care AM67
  9. thank's for all the reply I had the same idea that the Sabre-2 will be my best option at this time Amir AM67
  10. I Like to land on front riser and dont like to start low the Vengeance xf-2 katana will all be on the list but that will take another 250 jump at least AM67
  11. What would be longer recover arc canopy then Sabre-2 keep in mind that with the ruls down here I can't jump canopy's in level 5 and the one in level 4 look to my that they all have shorter arc then the Sabre-2 Advice anyone (ps after 35j on manta,15j on Sabre1 then 200j on Vengeance 170 then Sabre-2 170 for the last 200) So now I'm looking for another canopy 150ft and the my main criteria is long recovery arc (at least as Sabre-2 What other option are there??? Amir AM67
  12. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2617263101051108814 is he going moving backword ?? the looping?? AM67
  13. How about the Netherlands I can't wait See you in June AM67
  14. A lot of fun canopy the only trick that I can recomend is go for the rear riser ( left or right ) after opening and if the canopy dive to one side just pull the oposite riser and you are fine p.s. if you on you'r back spining chop chop it's not a Sabre-2 and my was [email protected] AM67
  15. Sorry I didn't take the time to read all the reply, But I thougth the quistion was, Is my wingload gonna kill me? well. yes. and if you jump the Pilot also yes . I think Manta 288 can kill you if you turn low. (but what do I know I got 6 years ago Vengeance 170 @ 1.4 with 50 jump) So take care listen to people you trust and do what you feel comfertable with AM67
  16. What a hack are you doing under a Samurai with less than 100 jumps? Was I just lucky when I got Vengeance [email protected] with 54 jumps and made about 250 jump befor sending it back to PD for control (opening). In any case it can be done. and that is one fun canopy compare to Sabre2 170 which I use now About syco packing I never try it. Amir AM67

    Mamba

    tried one in Eloy with DZ holiday boogie after one jump I gave it back telling Carl I like it alot but it was above my level. this canopy is sensatie for harness, I open at 4500 or so lift my arm for the steering line and the canopy is allready turning, I though I was ready jumping Vengeane for about 200 jump but the Mamba is a different monster lots of fun it was a bit too much for me. stay safe if you jump one
  18. I'll drink to that I've tried the Viso it work but without reading the manuel I had no Idea what the unit was doing. So I bought a Neptune 2 weeks ago and hoped that the problems I've heard of from few years back are solved Well I liked it alot. two friend of my bought the Viso the day before and the one complain was the hand mount protector is reflecting the sun so the display is not easy to read. on the other end the neptun cost $ 100 more AM67

    Eloy

    Hi I'v left Eloy on the 30 and there was there was another ambulance in the first load is there any information on that and on the other women with low turn few days before. It is hard to exept thoes kind of of missap (mistake) for people with so many jumps (if it happen to them it can happen to me), side bar what color was the lower canopy?? half of my jump in Eloy I was last or somewere in the end and stil had to look very hard to find white or yelow canopy against the desert (maybe green agaist the gras was a factor in the two incident) Keep it safe out there Amir AM67

  21. Hi Sas Is the opening issues are due to wing-load or the Vengeance. Amir AM67
  22. 3 years 800 jump and on FX 99 (start with Sabre2 170) you couldn't spant alot of time on the Sabre2.. Amir but then I went after 25 jump on a Manta 288 to Sabre 190 15 jump to Vengeance 170 (1.4) wasn't very smart either AM67
  23. I'll put my name up. it took me 3 years and two girls but this time I can Make it
  24. Saskia wrote One of my friends had a cutaway a couple of weeks ago, and the RSL beat him to pulling the reserve handle.. BUT.. he did grab the handle anyways, ready to pull it out, but he was already under a reserve. Sorry Saskia but I feel I've to but in, Your friend should have pull the silver with or without an open reserve (rsl will beat anyone but at least you pull) AM67
  25. Hi if you jump now safire-2 269 @ 1.23 you'r exit wight is about 330 to get W.L. of 1.35 the canopy has to be 240 or so I think they dont make the crossfire in that size but again maybe I'm wrong AM67
