  8. WARNING!!!!!!!! I know the questions here are dealing with glass surfaces. However if some one thinks glass = plexiglass/polycarbonate they will be sorry. Rainex and others contains mineral oils and will ruin plexigass in 6-9 month. It turn hazy. Any thing that goes on polyc or plexi must have specific label saying safe for plastic/poly. If you own stock in a helmet company....disregard. POPS # 10971 Man Small, Why Fall? Skies Call. Thats All.

  15. Lot and lots of changes for sure. I used to be one of the designated reserve packers at our club( rounds in 2 pin belly mount surplus containers). One of our main instructors came back from studies in Cal,USA. He brought back a Paraplane which is the first "wing" i ever saw flying. It was in a B-4 looking mainbag with a regular (looked like) belly reserve mounted on top so it was a true piggyback rig. However it had the regular D-rings in the front so he could also add a "club reserve on the front. Which he did and in one weekend he had to pull them 3 out of 5 jumps. This did not encourage me for the squares. NOW it is another world. I enjoy it alot and will be staying in the sport for sure. POPS # 10971 Man Small, Why Fall? Skies Call. Thats All.

  17. It looks like I am comming down there..YES! Is there any possibilities for a "get current" jump sequence during all this hoopla. And are there tandems available during this. Might be bringing a friend that has one tandem in May 09 at Skydive Twin Cities. She would want to go if all possible. We will fly down Wed 10 and back Sun 14. Olaf POPS # 10971 Man Small, Why Fall?

  18. This is a little strech but i used to ski jump when in my teens. Switched to downhill and grand slalom. However all my ski jumping helped me a lot when I had to do my tracking around jump 20 or so during my 50 jump progression program they used in Norway at the time for my B -license. ( B-216). Even now when back in the sky I find tracking to be "easy". POPS # 10971 Man Small, Why Fall? Skies Call. Thats All.
  19. Hi everyone. First post to the forum. I started my skydiving in 1974. That was in Norway at the Norwegian Technical University`s Skydiving Club, Trondheim Norway. About 75 jumps with 28ft TU mod or LL mod surplus gear. B-3 or 4 main and belly reserve. My next 50 jumps was with my own gear, bought from ParaGear;SuperPro Harness with 2 pin Jerry Bird main bag and a PopTop flat belly mount reserve container. Main chute i bought from USSR a UT-14 or as the marking say YT-15. State of the art at the time. LOL. May of 09 2 tandems at Skydive Twin Cities and AFF early Aug. Graduated from AFF and have 23 jumps on squares including AFF. Wondering if I should go to the Expo at DeLand. Looks like there is a lot to see and learn. Probably need a refresher since my last jump was on sept 30 -09. Minnesota is to cold for that now.(I think) Olaf. Man Small, Why Fall? Skies Call, Thats All. POPS # 10971 Man Small, Why Fall?
