\ Have a rigger assemble your gear while walking you through each step, so that you may learn the process and be able to do it next time. Afterwords, thank and tip him for the service. You could probably assemble your gear just fine by yourself, but you will learn more tricks/techniques/information from the rigger than you will by figuring it out from a manual.

Yep, I thought it was a bit extreme as well, but just wanted some others' input in case there was some great advantage I couldn't think of. Blue skies, Keith Medlock

I spoke with someone yesterday who mentioned they use 2 closing loops on their main. He knots both of them together and they both thread through the same washer. Then he simply puts the closing pin through both loops. It seems excessive but got me thinking. Many jumpers use redundant safeties. Two canopies, Two altimeters + AAD Reserve ripcord + RSL + AAD Considering how bad a horseshoe mal can be, why is two closing loops not a common practice. Pro: -Reduce posibility of horseshoe. -Extend service life of closing loop (instead of replacing when worn, just wait for it to break?) Con: -2-5 seconds extra packing time.

Quoteunder 1000' feet don't fly over anything you don't plan on landing and you are not an airplane so this also means the runway. bullshit! Blue skies, Keith Medlock

If you find yourself on your back under your hard deck, PULL ON YOUR BACK! Blue skies, Keith Medlock

Which means instead of a shitty Infinity, you got a cool Mirage, right? Blue skies, Keith Medlock

I have a pair of wiley x air rage with rx lenses I use for skydiving and mountaineering and would HIGHLY recomend them. Let me know if you have any specific questions. Blue skies, Keith Medlock

I just placed an order for a Gunner (in royal blue). The best part is, if you send them your old helmet of any brand or condition, they give you a 30% discount! Saved me $70.50.

Doh! I was hoping no one would catch onto that. I'm too lazy to do it myself. I demand you entertain me damnit! Blue skies, Keith Medlock

I, for one, didn't choose skydiving. It chose me. THE CHOSEN ONE, AT LAST!!!!!! Kneel before me, imputant fool! Blue skies, Keith Medlock

Jim, you are you just the best teacher ever! Have you ever come up with a poor response to anything? Could you if you tried? Blue skies, Keith Medlock

hey sangi what is "real flying?" to you? im a freeflyer that happens to also enjoy staying up for 3min+ as far as i can tell you just like falling, not flying. i appreciate many different disciplines in this sport: canopy "flight", wingsuit "flying", free "flying", not just falling from the sky, but actually using the skys energy to create flight. quit being such a troll and go jump...... we all know you and your ways. Is it troll feeding time again? They get hungry so fast... Blue skies, Keith Medlock

I, for one, didn't choose skydiving. It chose me. And unless a DZO grabbed you off the street and made you skydive, you chose it. Yes and no. I did choose to make the first jump, but after that there was no going back. Blue skies, Keith Medlock

Not only would I ask for a loan, but I would probably panhandle before selling my rig! Blue skies, Keith Medlock

When is someone gonna come up with one of those "If you can type, you can make a movie." videos making fun of wingsuits? Blue skies, Keith Medlock

Notice the cutaway handle is saved because its still partialy in the hard housing and hanging over his shoulder! I hope my first cutaway goes that smooth. Blue skies, Keith Medlock

Did you have a hard opening? If so, that would cause brain mals like this one... Blue skies, Keith Medlock

You really should be careful how much acid you drop at any one time... Blue skies, Keith Medlock

Even if you don't like one of the personalities associated with Mirage, just remember, the rig itself has no personality. Its just a great container! Blue skies, Keith Medlock

With all these studies, you guys should have figured something out by now... Blue skies, Keith Medlock

Well said Ward. I love my Mirage and will use your rigs as long as you stay in business! I would like to see the DRX sometime this century though... Blue skies, Keith Medlock
