Ok, no one really answered my question. Im not new to the sport and was not really looking for pull up cord options. i personally use a pack boy, as Ive been a packer for ten years now and have not only seen the difference on my soft girl hands, but also seen what pull up cords do to closing loops. My question was specifically stated due to the requirement/recommendation by UPT to use spectra to close the Sigma Tandem system. Being that they provide a softer, new style of pull up cord, does the one the company distributes comply?

The UPT pull up cords are made of softer material and do not have rough edges like old style cords. What is the material these are made of? Are they spectra? Can they be used to close the Sigma Tandem system without causing excessive wear like others do?

It has been my experience that you would mark the hole by drawing a circle around it with a laundry marker (so it wont come off) This will make it easier to find, as well as show you if it is getting bigger or not. My2cents. CB

Hi all, if anyone is going to be in San Juan on the 8th of Feb, theres two of us who need a ride to Arecibo from the airport. We both will be there by 2:45. If you could spare the room in your vehicle, that'd be great!

I am planning on going to the Puerto Rico boogie. Anyone out there arriving in San Juan on 8 Feb around midnight? Would like to coordinate a ride from San Juan airport to Arecibo. Public trans or rental are the only options. I CANNOT rent a car...too $$$. Share a taxi? Anyone? Email me direct, not DZ.com [email protected]

***Facts are facts....If you are SAVED by a CYPRES, you should look into other sports. QuoteDamn.... As a full time rigger packer and skydiver, my CYPRES save, in your opinion, was my resignation letter. I think that is a very poor way to view a safety device.

There are plans for a few of the freeflyers from skydive atlanta to attend! Look for Caryn and Lyle!

You'll be better off calling them. Believe me. 303-893-1155

Umm...NO! Why would I do that? I mean think about it...me bring Tim.

Ok, this is totally spur of the moment, but Im headed up to Rantoul and have room in my car for two other people. Im travelling from Skydive Atlanta on Saturday night after all the tandems are packed and leaving Rantoul on Friday Morning...early. If you dont want to drive back down with me thats ok. I just want to have a good time and could use the help with the gas money. Anyone interested please email me at [email protected]

I have a rig in my shop that I cannot find any information on. The packing data card doesnt have any of the rig info on it. Where do I find the DOM and serial # for the dolphin rig?

Hi all, Im looking for a manual for the National Parachute Industries, Mirage container DOM 04/1987. Please help. Thanks, Caryn

Did that say California or Colorado? Does anyone have any more info...I have family in Northern California where these types of wildfires are common. Caryn

Thank you! I love coming in from a nice walk down the taxi way and back... to find a big huge fax waiting for me! I love this sport! Caryn

I have a racer I need to repack, first one since my riggers course. I dont have a manual for it, and cant pull it up off the Jumpshack website. Could someone out there please send me a copy of the reserve packing instructions? Heres my fax # 706 647-6919 Thanx! Caryn

Paul Fayard will eventually have all his planes painted like the famous blue stripe CASA. Thats what Frankenotter is going to look like. He already has one of his King Airs, and the DZ Van painted that way.

They arent going to send you a seal die. You have to order them thru paragear. Check the riggers section in the catalog or online.

Ive got a brand spankin new never been out of the plastic Invertigo size Medium royal blue in color for $100.00+ shipping. I have two in fact but I use one of them. Anyone interested can email me privately.

I am desperate for a nice freefly suit. Ive seen the suits ( not to mention the specialty fabrics) that come from Jumpbubble and I know...thats what I want. Problem is cant get one. Wont settle for crappy or ugly jumpsuit! People know you for the jumpsuit you wear. Help me get in touch with Jumpbubble! Please!

Try Mel in South Carolina. He's very knowledgable and has some machines (usually) for sale. He's also in the skydiving industry and knows what your talking about when you need something. [email protected]

Here ya go Clay... http://www.freeflytim.com/cory/index.htm

Thanks Dave, Gee, I never thought to look THERE! No really. C'mon, Im looking for something I cant find in the local catalog, Im smarter than that, but thanks anyway.

I just got my riggers ticket. I had a guy come in who just got back from Germany. I looked at the seal on the reserve and the die that was in the press was very nicely done. It was neat, you could read the whole thing and it even said fallsherm (sp?) on it. My question...where can I get one with my seal on it? I really want my whole seal to be on the pack job.
