  1. I have a Dolphin, compared to my last Javelin it is a hunk of shit but the reserve part works.
  2. I'm surprised more people don't buy a Racer 2k3 Shadow (all black rig, no options, extremely well-priced) over the Dolphin as well... You are preaching to the choir here, a lot of people here on the west coast like to jump a wings that wont open a flap at 300 miles per hour or reserve flap at 60. Sick hunh? Racer will ALWAYS open in a jam, cool kids should not apply!
  3. I'm surprised more people don't buy the Genera over the Dolphin, what is the largest Optimum Reserve you could fit?
  4. Looks like the 29-31 will have the warmest weather according to the current forecast.
  5. The pendejo factor is strong with this homie...
  6. You sometimes can't see power lines before final, you can see poles, connect the dots and don't land in between them if possible.
  7. When the packing is bad for the reserve more than it is good for deployment something needs to change.
  8. Make sure he agrees to take it back if it doesn't fit.
  9. Call 661-765-JUMP and ask for the Grouch.
  10. BTW I just won a Racer and can't wait to get it.

    Skydive Taft

    Why would I drive twice as far and NOT jump a Skyvan? The people and facility's! The office is completely surrounded by shade cloth and you can pack or camp on different surfaces, they are also the only DZ around who will do AFF or recurrency training for big (fat) folks up to 270 pounds without a rig. No cliques or posers, just pure skydiving...Also when Elsinore or Perris are weathered out they might be jumping here. No more bunkhouse but a couch is usually available.

  13. Since nowadays racers are kinda rare to see especially on the West coast and tards on the Dropzone try to tear them apart as being unsafe I appreciate him posting this and being under the scrutiny of some grumpy old bastards on this forum. (looks up)
  14. Make sure your leg straps are real snug as the chest strap will be around neck high, have fun!
  15. I did say sometimes, right? Perris HAS a restaurant/bar. not a better one, your post could make the uninformed think Elsinore has one. I like the landing area at Perris better, but you are right the view is better at Elsinore. The packers are WAY friendlier at Elsinore and not as rough on your canopy.
  16. Elsinore is sometimes closed on Tuesdays.
  17. A few minutes of tunnel time and a sharpie, or go to Taft on a weekend, it will be way cheaper. WELCOME BACK BROTHER!
