  1. Second units same problem again, battery last only for one day, don't buy
  2. Finally, something we can agree on! yea maybe he doesn't know. On the other hand you , YOU know what he doesn't know? Becouse i don't know what he doens't know therefore i dont know on what you are agreeing to ledballon: keep running, i mean this is what you are doing, donsizing and changing canopy as soos as you feel bored or not challenged. That is fine till you can run. Someday you will be not in shape for a run or you really will not wont to run at all, but you have to keep running, so something strange can happen. i watched you landing my velo-103 with a 270 a couple of times, and everything was fine, for me it is important knowing where you goona swoop and where you finish your swoop, plenty of room. that mean that you know what are you doing. he knows his stuff i watched landing you velo 111 directly donwwind with a 270, wow was surprised wind was 5 to 10 mph with gust till 20 mph that day and you landed fine, swoop was just a tiny higher than it should have been. what i like of you is the no fear factor the attitude of just do it and lets deal after if something goes wrong. i really need some of that i went from 500 jumps with a ka135 270 degree rotation to a 120 ka and i started everything over, from flaring the canopy to high speed approches , straight in , 90 145 180 230 270 , 50 jumps to get to 270 again ! honestly i think that i wasted a lot of time doing so, but it is my way. i am fine with it. the next step was from ka120 to ve103 with the same approche but just less than 10 jumps to get to 270 again next step was ve 103 to vc 96 , in this case only 1 jump to get 270 degree rotation. every one is different and this guy has proved that he is different from me before judging you should see how he is flying the canopy and how he "lands" there is one thing that i would say about having the right canopy, to actually been able to train and learn, what canopy model and size is right for you now i dont know, you can keep downsizing but for what?? Can you train with that new smaller canopy?? can you learn new staff with it?? spare some money and get a coach for a day and lissen to him and not to people on a forum. OR just lissen from the right people at your DZ, people like formation skydivers :PPPPPP on my part i think 103 for you is fine, keep lissenig to everybody then you decide for yourself, it is your life. once you got that, upon your head you dont have a sabre, honestly beeing a dick at low altitude with toggles, i would not expect from noone. so just keep landing fast canopies with right tecniques everything should go fine .
  3. now go back doing your formation skydiving and please stick with it.
  4. It seams odd to me, that my Javelin rear risers are half an inch shorter than front. I have a pair of Javelin risers that came along with my brand new rig, and they are even. After getting a new canopy some years ago i asked my dealer to get new risers, pilote chute, bag ect,,, to fast swapping canopy if i needed to. And now after more 700 jumps later and many different canopy i noticed that front risers are longer than rears .... i had strange opening with only a 120 katana so far. my vc-96 opens good sub terminal so far. It is normal , i mean to have uneven risers??????? they can lead to strange behavior for the canopy opening ?? Any thought would be appreciated.

    Collision

    According to the DZ statement, attached to the police incident report. It seams that after an uneventful jump (sunset 9 way track) the organizer was struck. The moment he had his canopy open and before he had the time to unstow his toggles a second skydiv

    Skydive Miami

    What to say, I am from Italy and I enjoyed to jump here, the owner Fred is really friendly, nice plane, good facilities, very organized, good scenery, one hour from Miami Beach; but if you have to rent gear, as I do, you have to, as in many other DZ, struggle with the packers and the manifest to have a chute ready to use in the load you wanna jump. Thanks to Fred this hasn't been a problem the first day I jumped, not in the second, but this is really common when there's no many gear avaible and you can't book gear; that would be great, i know i am asking too much. Do not forget to take a look at the chicks around there: they are really cute, from the manifest to the packing room.
  7. One of the manager, Uwe was a great host, nice place, good aircraft, there is all you need to jump and have fun, moreover they do fantastic jump suits of all kind. I just did two jump saturday and it was wunderbar!
