  1. I want to make it known, that I was not intentionally trying to say this was stolen. I found it on ebay and my impression was the seller didn't know much about it. That being said, I just looked at the Ebay listing again and the seller ended it early and added a description.
  2. I will be heading off to OCS next year and will not be jumping for a while... What is the proper way to store my gear? Should I leave the Main and Reserve in the container, or unpack them and leave them in a pastic bag?
  3. I found a Mirage G3 for sale on Ebay and my first impression is that the seller doesn't know much. I could be wrong... If you are missing a black with blue trim and a green triangle Mirage G3 check out the following link http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3697401705&fromMakeTrack=true
  4. Does anyone have any pictures of a "Bat Wing" exit from a 182? I was trying to describe to a Whuffo and an AFF student of a picture I saw with someone hanging upside down with their toes in front of the wing of a 182. It was a cool picture, but I can't find it anymore. If you have one please let me know. Scott
  5. I may be moving to Pensacola, FL. Does anyone know of a good dropzone in that area?
  6. When talking about a line over any cell that you can not fix... what would cutting that line do? I personally would cut away and go to reserve... but would cutting that line clear it?
  7. I am want to start learning about videing jumpers and how to do it right. Is there videographers out there who have excess equipment they want to sell. I need a camer suit that will fit 5'11" 200 lbs. A camer helmet good for a top mounted video camera and a front monted still camera, the sights and the thing that shows if your camera is recording or not. If you have any of the above, please email me at [email protected].
  8. I am looking for skydiving DVDs. I have Good Stuff and will soon buy Swoop2, but I would like to get some more. If you have a DVD of your own shots, with a good mix of jumps (hoop, boat, smoke, tube, freefly, RW, landings, exits...) I would like a copy. Please email me ([email protected]) a price to include shipping to San Antonio, TX. I do not want copies of copyrighted material unless the material is your own work. Thanks
  9. I am flying from San Antonio to Reno and would like to take my rig, has anyone had any problems flying with a Cypressed equiped rig on Southwest? Any suggestions?
  10. Jump # 102 was my first Reserve ride. After a great 4way, we broke off at 4500 and tracked. I was ready to pull by 3500 but waited a second or two longer to pull at 3000. I went to pull and with a bad grip, the pilot chute only came out a few inches, I then started to hear my 3rd tone (2500') on my Pro-track and went to reach one last time but the hacky was flapping in the wind and I did not want to spend to much time trying to get it, so I went for silver. Great opening on a PD 176 (I think that is the right size)... Roger I owe you a bottle. good ride down nice landing... The only two things I think I did wrong was, I let go of the handle and then I watched my free bag go down. I watched it long enough to see where it was going, then I turned into the wind to land..... When I went to pick up my free bag, it was not where I thought it was going to be . If I have another reserve ride, I will keep the handle and follow the free bag. Safety recommendation... Get a good gripe on your hacky the first time.
