Are your no wind landings easy?

Disneyland was pretty impressive via that method in my ute.

Just use a cat with a wingsuit.

Re: losing instructors in AFF see this: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4378576#4378576 Re line twists at night: Typically these jumps are in full moon. With eyes well adapted to darkness it is typically VERY easy to see the canopy and lines well. POTD!

There is a lot of bad gear and rigging out there, be safe my friends...

The one at Taft gets up and goes.

Just for clarification was this a wings rig?

I dig Neve Campbell

We make people who violate the BSR's read that thread, they normally wise up quick.

What harness is it? Are you trying to fit in a C-16 or something?

It amazes me how much the gear I buy smells like smoke, still have a gear bag laying outside trying to get rid of it, it rained today and I just left it out there!

Buy a new Genera container with used Raven 1, 2 or similar. Jump it for a 400 jumps then flip it. http://www.dropzone.com/gear/Detailed/82.html

What size are you?

You want to go bigger on the main and jump a 143 reserve with no aad, is that by choice?

I'll just the Germain stretching method.

I did, it was awesome!

Thanks for the answers folks, bigun is still mad at me for dissin the anvil brothers most spectacular awesome website. I have an excellent rigger, but like most excellent riggers he gets busy, especially right about now.

Yes, doing things is hard at first. That's normal. Not doing them because it's "hard" is a mistake. You don't need a "PLF required" situation to do it. Like Wendy intimated, your plan is to do a PLF and only stand up if it turns out to be OK to stand. I'd suggest, to get the safest practice, do PLFs even on stand-up situations until you get good at it. When things go bad on landings, what do you think is going to give you the best opportunity for landing unhurt...an attempted stand-up or a PLF? Please, for your own safety, practice and get good at PLFs. This is a bunch of bullshit! (waves crutches in air wildly) BULLSHIT I SAY!

Also what manufactures are generally the least cost and easiest to work with in supporting existing canopies. I currently have a Triathlon 130 that needs relining and someone said it cost him $300 for a reline, this seems like a lot. I imagine (and hope!) a competent rigger in a low cost of living part of the country might be willing to do it for less. TIA!

Dress like a Juggalo, you'll fit right in.

Looks like the canopy is fully open.

Any chance the loops had a factor in the double mal?
