  1. If we really want to slow ourselves down before deployment. Why don't we modify sport rigs to have the drogue attachments and ripcords just like on tandem containers? We will increase the size of our pilot-chutes and BAM slower deployment speeds. Just pitch the drogue to slow your decent rate then pull the ripcord to deploy..... (I am sure they may have tried this already) Go Out and Jump.

    P90X

    I've done the program for 1 1/2 Months now and the results are amazing. I Second what Mazz said about it being very intense program,but it is well worth the effort. I would take P90 over the gym any day. I have spoke with friends that have payed trainers in gyms and said that they have got far better results from 90x. Just do it you wont regret. Go Out and Jump.
  5. Thank you for the input, That's a good range of canopy's. Go Out and Jump.
  6. Thanks AggieDave I will Drop UPT a line in the near future. I was Wondering about the Vector because a lot of other manufactures only quote one size smaller than containers made size. I was curious how often people use containers 3 sizes without worry. I'd like unbiased Thoughts about the containers as well. Go Out and Jump.
  7. Hello Drop zone, I'm rather new to the sport and have been looking into buying a rig. I have my mind set on a container that will fit my current canopy size and still be able to downsize. Upon looking at the Vector 3, I noticed on the container sizing charts state that most of there containers are able to safely fit three sizes of canopy (Main and Reserve). My question is if someone purchases one of these containers would the main container be able to go from the tight fit to the loose fit without too much stress and stretching by the time it reaches the loose fit. (If the reserve is a Standard fit.) Or would they have to change reserve size for main size. Example---- Tight Main/Loose Reserve , Standard Main/Standard Reserve, Loose Main/Tight Reserve. To Avoid the most stress to the container. Any help/advice would greatly appreciated Blue Sky's Go Out and Jump.
