  1. you are certainly right to express your opinion. my beef is that mrsparky was quick to jump on my post and when i asked him what was the gold standard he failed to give me an answer.... i think its unfair for me to give a possible solution to a problem then be shot down by someone an be told my advice is shit and then they don't have a different outcome for a solution Look out for the freefly team, Smelly Peppers.

  6. oops sorry, i was talking about the main. i like it mostly for the asthestic reasons and i feel it would offer better pin protection (for me) my next rig is going to be a wings or a mirage for that reason Look out for the freefly team, Smelly Peppers.

  7. mine was about five, i think anything longer than 6 and the student would be overloaded with information and would not like to continue with learning anymore Look out for the freefly team, Smelly Peppers.

  8. i would turn my self so the canopy was in a half twist but i was facing the direction the canopy was flying, that way i could fly it down using riser inputs until about 200 then land it backwards.

  9. [reply Hey guys. I'm off student status an now have my "A" license. I'm in the market for a new rig. I have looked at the mirage g4 an javelin oddessey. I've read pros an cons on both an they seem pretty equal. I guess since I've read up on both I'm looking for your guys opinions. Preferably from g4 and oddessey owners. Thanks you'll do good on pretty much any new container, i would go with mirage for personal preference of the tuck tab being up and i don't like racers because of other reasons but you can't go wrong with them either Look out for the freefly team, Smelly Peppers.

  13. if you were to look at his profile you would see he is from spain, calling from there would be quite a chunk of change the purpose of this forum is to share knowledge rather than be a guy with smartalac remarks.

  14. if you were to read my post rather than the first sentence you would see what i was trying to convey Look out for the freefly team, Smelly Peppers. Once we get a couple years more experience we will be a force to be reckoned with in the near future! BLUES!
  15. if you would've actually read my post it was a hypothetical question, i wasn't judging your experience over mine.... you being condescending to me is going to do nothing but put a red flag to anyone reading this form Look out for the freefly team, Smelly Peppers.

  16. you are true but hypothetically if a person with under a hundred jumps has two cutaways and a person with a thousand only has 1 or less, wouldn't the more exeperienced person have a better input with dealing with mals Look out for the freefly team, Smelly Peppers. Once we get a couple years more experience we will be a force to be reckoned with in the near future! BLUES!
  17. in the event of a spinning mal, more nylon out is better than none. even if the cutaway cable is all the way out and the main stays with you, its better to fire the reserve and hope :) Look out for the freefly team, Smelly Peppers.

  18. that seems like it would be alot of wasted time, i beleive you should keep one hand on the chop pilliow and one on the reserve handle. Look out for the freefly team, Smelly Peppers. Once we get a couple years more experience we will be a force to be reckoned with in the near future! BLUES!

  20. could someone just answer his question rather than criticize his experience? answers like "do more jumps" isn't helpful to the other people who would like to learn more about the differences between the canopies.
