  1. i can't seem to put my hands on one. checked rigginginnovations.com, checked parachutemanuals.com but no luck. rigging innovations site says the manual comes on a cd with the rig. does anyone have the cd that could post the pdf somewhere?

  2. sky train by red oxx. the company was started by an ex-military master rigger. the stuff they make is made with the same materials and methods that your rig is. it's tough stuff. it's not cheap stuff either.

  4. i can remember sending my 2 year old daughter to bed and on the way she stubbed her toe on a steel tool box that was in the hall. no crying, no yelling, she just looked down and calmly said, "fuck", then went on her way to bed. my ex looked at me kinda shocked, but i shrugged and said, "she used it in context, can't really give her shit for that". i have no idea where she learned the word though. just did the math and realized this was 20 years ago.

  5. You may want to re-think that statement... she broke a paddle over my ass at fitz in 2010. Seriously. seriously. that hurt just watching. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001

  10. we had a guy lose a shoe on exit from an otter. it landed before him, about 10 feet from the packing tent. he was a little surprised to see it when he got back. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  11. i get them on my left bicep, almost all the time. still haven't figured out why. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  12. Kind of came together last minute, but looks like we have a twin otter coming to Skydive Moncton again this summer! Still looking to get some events lined up, but there's sure to be a good time! check out the website for info on our NEW location.

  13. [reply Yes, and my recent birthday just put me in a higher age bracket, damnit! hey, turning 31 isn't so bad.

  16. if he weighs 230, add gear, and a 260 would be about 1:1. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  17. i use travel underwriters. had a friend injure her back at bridge day, all covered. check the terms and conditions though, things change. last time i bought it, it covered me for skydiving, as long as i wasn't competing or being paid.

  18. don't forget the javelin freebag! i hate where javelin has their's. inside the line pocket? why not in it's own pocket (like wings) or outside the pocket (like infinity) or lose it all together and go with a tuck tab type think like a berger bag. maybe it's because changing anything to do with the reserve deployment system messes with the tso or something. i dunno. it's still a stupid place for velcro.

  19. i see at least 4 of us there. i'm in the cowboy hat. ps. new fiscal year started last friday, vacation is booked and approved for the 9th annual in 2012. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  20. yes, they were both on main slinks. i wasn't a rigger at the time and didn't know the difference. mine must have had the smaller grommet so it stayed longer, the other rig had a larger one and fell out right away. the manufacturer will probably tell you to use a reserve slink for a couple of reasons. one, it's bigger and less chance of pulling through. the other is that since a main slink is shorter, once it is installed correctly (two laps around), it is so tight that the kill line will wear out the bridle pretty quick. if you ordered the pilot chute from chuting star, they will probably include one of each type of slink. reserve for the dbag connection, main for the canopy connection.

  21. probably! i had the same co-driver as last year, and he drove 2.5 hours to get to my place so technically he drove further, but i don't count him. there were 4 carloads from skydive moncton this year.

  22. i'm not sure what kind of rig you have, but when in doubt, check with the manufacturer. i did (with my infinity) and was told to go ahead, as long as i used reserve slinks. i asked a friend to pick some up for me on a trip south and hooked it up. i jumped it that way for awhile, and another jumper asked me if i had any more to do his new mirage (i believe) with. i said sure, but made certain he knew i wasn't a rigger, and i couldn't speak for his manufacturer as to whether it would be okay on his rig. he has about 3k jumps, and said, go ahead. i stuck them on and he had a cutaway on his second jump because the bridle pulled through the grommet and collapsed his pilot chute before it could do anything. i checked mine after that, and it seemed okay. fast forward 4 years and one day after a jump i noticed that my bridle had pulled through the grommet. . closer inspection revealed that i had used main slinks. i replaced it with a reserve slink and all has been well since. sometimes ignorance is not bliss. just this weekend a friend replaced his pilot chute with a new cazer from chutingstar. it came with a reserve slink for the bridle to bag connection and a main slink for the bridle to canopy connection. i assembled it for him and pulled on it with varying forces and it didn't seem inclined to pull though.

  23. i got one of them! it was awesome too. sorry you missed out. had a great time, and i'll be booking my vacation so i can come back and do it again in 2012. we went from 3 eastern canadian jumpers last year to 8 this year, hopefully more next year. it was fun seeing some folks from last year and meeting a few new ones.
