No you dont need video. If there was video then all of us boring, stagnant people couldnt speculate. Nothing opens like a Deere! You ignorant fool! Checks are for workers!

The people who whine the most about getting beat up are the ones who come out swinging and keep defending their opinions despite a lot of well-reasoned information that says maybe, just maybe, they ought to reconsider. ////////////////////////////////////////////////// Just thought it needed to be said agian.

You said it best!!!!!!! /////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I'll say this to him, take what you don't want to hear and understand it isn't bad advice, it's the best advice. ////////////////////////////////////////////// Now take this advise and apply it to your own post about downsizing. Or is you own advise not good for that????? Nothing opens like a Deere! You ignorant fool! Checks are for workers!

First of all i dont know anybody in this conversation. GO JT. If a buis. wont take care of someone that that has helped them, F@$K them. I am a buis. owner and would bend over backward to help anyone that will help me. I dont know the story behind all of this but, for manigers to bad mouth someone on a public forum is not good buis. As for Carly do you kiss your mother with that mouth??? Just cuase you didnt put it on a forum doesnt mean it wont end up there. Ohh and JT your replys are nicer than mine would have been Nothing opens like a Deere! You ignorant fool! Checks are for workers!

I could tell what you do and dont know, but it is a public forum. Nothing opens like a Deere! You ignorant fool! Checks are for workers!

Glad you made one person think about it. The guy in this thread might be hopeless He needs to check out general forum i think it is 1.333 @140 jumps the guy spun up his canopy at low altitude, but wait that would never happen to this guy Nothing opens like a Deere! You ignorant fool! Checks are for workers!

Maybe it is the DZ you work at???? The staff, DZO, or someone else. Maybe not??? Nothing opens like a Deere! You ignorant fool! Checks are for workers!

I dont think age has anything to do with it, but commen sence does. The op is only making fun of the countless idiots that down size like only a stupid person would. If you are of age (like you suggest), then i think you out of all people would get it. Nothing opens like a Deere! You ignorant fool! Checks are for workers!

Congrats girl's. Wish i could fly like you!!!!

so what is the mockery of??? All we are doing is pointing out stupid people, what is the problem???? Nothing opens like a Deere! You ignorant fool! Checks are for workers!

It is mockery at its worst. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////// A mockery of ignorant people with stupid WL at low jump #'s?????? I hate to offend ignorant people. So what is your WL since it is not listed?????? Nothing opens like a Deere! You ignorant fool! Checks are for workers!

No it sounds like he is talking about a self imployed buisseness owner like me that is making an honest living and gets what they want/worked for!!!! Nothing opens like a Deere! You ignorant fool! Checks are for workers!

Congrats guy's. Nothing opens like a Deere! You ignorant fool! Checks are for workers!

In all seriousness i dont give a fuck what people fly ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// There you go JeepDiver you got the on answer you wanted. But understand you got your advise from a guy with 169 jumps @ 1.48 wing loading. Your down size isnt looking bad after all . Nothing opens like a Deere! You ignorant fool! Checks are for workers!

That is the funnyest shit i have ever seen here. Ill buy that Velo 90, I mean i have all the check list and been at the same loading for 300 jumps. i have got to be ready for that Velo. Why waist time with those slugish canopys Nothing opens like a Deere! You ignorant fool! Checks are for workers!

o so true. Nothing opens like a Deere! You ignorant fool! Checks are for workers!

If the company that made it cant help you out i know one thing for sure, I would never buy from them agian. I believe in another post you said that they had a lot of military contracts. Ask them who they sold a canopy to first!!!!!!! It doesnt matter who they are going to make more money off of. That is just bad buis. Nothing opens like a Deere! You ignorant fool! Checks are for workers!

I find it hard to believe that you got all of the performance out of a demo sabre 2 170. You may have tried it but you did not get the full potential out of it. That is a big drop in size. 89 Square feet Nothing opens like a Deere! You ignorant fool! Checks are for workers!

I understand what you are saying. But when my best friend died from cancear i just went the very next jump day i could to clear my mind. But the two acidents i have seen i quit jumping for the day. But i had no hard feeling for the people that kept jumping. By the way if are going to keep jumping i would recommend you stay where you are. Spaceland is a very good DZ. I like the people i have met there. It is my second favorite DZ next to my home DZ. Nothing opens like a Deere! You ignorant fool! Checks are for workers!

If you ahve a good video camera then get a friend to video you or a packer. Then ask for advise from a good canopy pilot. If you cant get that then maybe you need to find a different DZ. There is no reason that a jumper with a camera should not video a few landing a weekend to help you out, that is what this sport is supposed to be about. Helping friends and giving back. Nothing opens like a Deere! You ignorant fool! Checks are for workers!

That is incorrect. Just cuase you are small does not mean that a small canopy is safe for you at a low wing loading. Define cool, my definision of cool is not getting hurt, and living to jump another day. Nothing opens like a Deere! You ignorant fool! Checks are for workers!

What are your jump #'s???? You can see mine and i am still finding performance on my Sabre 2 170's. Nothing opens like a Deere! You ignorant fool! Checks are for workers!

Not even close. you need to talk to somebody at your DZ before you buy anything. Such as a rigger or ST&A. Dont be in a rush to be gear. Do your research. Nothing opens like a Deere! You ignorant fool! Checks are for workers!

I agree with adobelover, video landing will help. Also a canopy control course will help you more than you know. Nothing opens like a Deere! You ignorant fool! Checks are for workers!
