    ***Here you go.



    Cool, what size Raven and what dimensions on the slider?

    That's a pic from when I tried to sell it, it's somewhere in my garage with all the other poor unloved canopies. Just showing what a Bikini slider looks like when Scotty Carbone isn't preening around the Pool in it.

  2. The next 100+ way attempts were held in Perris California and the formation
    was 110 in size. The skydives were held on December 7-9 1990 and
    utilized 1 DC-3 flying in the center and 4 Twin Otters flying in a "V" shape
    behind. 7 attempts were made but it only built to 109....and that was on
    the last jump after some very interesting hair pulling and teeth gnashing.


    The DC 3 did not have a door, it was a tad chilly on the way up to 20,000 ASL in the winter.

  3. I have jumped both and sold dozens of used canopies, the Firebolt opened much better and had a far superior flare so if you are going to make a few hundred jumps I feel the the money you might lose is well worth it. In Florida I suspect you wouldn't lose any money at all.

  4. My reserve ride was at jump 21 with no aad or rsl on a rental rig and after jettisoning main, the d ring went from armpit to hip in a second. It can be difficult to peel the pillow in a high stress environment with one hand while you are spinning. I almost spent the rest of my life looking for metal.
