Just want to say thanks for the compliment Riggerrob. The TI that you speak of was a quick study though, so I cannot take all the credit!

Hi all. UPT is making a big push for all TIs to reconnect the lowers to the passenger after canopy opening. It has also been somewhat accepted in the industry to reconnect them to the passenger harness. Some people just leave them dangling. I am interested in your thoughts on why leaving them dangling is acceptable as I have yet to hear a valid argument for doing so.

Thanks a lot Peter for your work preparing for the comp. Congrats to Marcel for his 1000th jump. Thanks to the skygods for decent winds and I hope to see you all again soon!

Great meet! Thanks Bobo for the coaching. Thanks Windmiller for the course setup! Can't wait til the Farm!

I had the opportunity to talk to Ian Bobo on a few occasions this summer about velocity openings. He mentioned that most of the velocities come with the same size stock slider, but that you can request the "smaller" slider- which will speed up the opening and reduce snivels if you fly any of the smaller velocities. I can't really elaborate, but perhaps this is a solution to your slow opening velocity...

I have thought of you and your family often. Thank you so much for the many jumps in Hawaii- I don't think that I ever would have landed on the beach if it were not for you and your father. Take care Mike ( and your family) and I hope that we get to jump together again sometime. Erika XOX
