what's up, i'm looking for orange smoke to use on a demo, i can't find anything but paintball smoke grenades, but i don't think those are going to work. does anyone know where to find orange skydiver smoke? thanks kelly

i was looking at the jojo manufacturing web site and i'm way interested in this tandem canopy being that we jump in very high winds in hawaii...but does anyone know anything about this canopy?? openings, how it flys, anything?? later

my bro brenden has a 103 jvx and he loves it, he's about 290 out the door... i've jumped it and it flys great, i'm about 220 out the door take it easy

the manufacturer would have the line trim, shoot icarus an e-mail....or try a service center....para-concepts has been really great for me when i had some patches put on my vx. mel at skyworks is great also, he did my last lineset on an fx 115 that i sent to him. later

could be out of trim is what is sounds like to me, i have 400 jumps on an 84 fx and i loved it at the time it was a great parachute...still is, maybe it's really old and ragged out too.... later

i've had a few conversations with my buddy who works at aerodyne, dominic, and he said the same thing that a smaller reserve actually has a better chance of surviving a high speed opening due to the less material comparied to the same reserve that is larger....not to say a smaller reserve is better but....it is something that makes you think later

start has a pond??? i know i was only there once but i didn't see any pond....maybe they built one.... later

first let me say i agree with this........but then i have a question has an issue with this ever come up....has a canopy ever come out?? i'm just wondering later

haha, yea, well it was after that pic was taken i could get all the ladies because i was a bad ass...lol later

i would say yes you could get in the tunnel with him and be able to fly....i did it when i was a kid with my dad and other people. i posted a pic of me when i was 8...it says 11 but i was born in 87 and the pic was taken in 95 my dad is retarded i think, but anyway you see the guy is flying with me just fine. later

or they just wanna go fast!!!!

what ever happened to the 5 chamber design that was showed at PIA?? will this be that canopy?? just wondering, i'm way to broke to be buying a new canopy right now. later

haha, did you throw your cutaway handle later

3.2 on a vx 69 i'm 220 out the door. later

awesome...love it....how could he know anything about flying if he doesn't fly a velo... j/k man. later

i wouldn't say your the only one who thinks this...i've heard of people not liking it because it doesn't respond like their old stilleto...it's all about what you want from the parachute. do you want to a parachute with a long recovery arc or do you want one the will turn really fast with the toggle at your ear....because you can't have both... later

all pressurized aircraft will have cargo area's pressurized also, this is where if you had a dog traveling they would put them. you alti will only go up to about 6 to 7 grand at most. later

you justed asked where he was getting his info, and i pointed it out to you, that is all. later

click on the link that is in his post and it is right on the page.... later

fat ass!!! j/k paul, you know brenden and i think your a sexy sexy man later

now this thread is supposed to be serious, no jokes!! we all know there is no hurrying with the faa later

well from about march until mid october i work monday thru friday and then i work at the dz sat and sunday, and my time off will be if i go to a boogie or something. so i'm not sure if you can count going to the dz and working as a day off or not but that's how it is for me in the summer. later

well if i make it back down that direction soon but more than likely i'm just going to buy one in a couple month......i know i liked the standard jvx, so now i'm just going to save up and buy a hybrid.......can't fit a full sail in my rig, and i'm not sure if i want to deal with the packing of a full sail....i'm not even sure if i want to deal with packing a hybrid really......who knows, just need like another grand and i should have the money for one!!! peace out ninja's

i've always like higher wing loadings......even my fx i had 4 years ago i loaded at 2.4.....my vx at the same, and that's when eveyone was going bigger, and i jumped on and tried a velo out that was bigger and hated it, i was slow , and i didn't go as far. i jumped an 87 jvx, mark shimmels, in atlanta at like 2.5 or so, and that thing was a rocket, the only complaint i had was the shut down, it wasn't all that great, but the distance and the carving power really amazed me, it lays over like it was it's only purpose in life, dont' know why a hybrid would be any better than a full sail though, haven't jumped either yet, it seams like the full would be better but who knows that's all i got peace ou ninja's
