  1. E mail the manufacturer. I had a similar problem and they led me through a fix. They have great customer service. Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"

  3. Scotty and Tami, First I've heard of it and I'll pass the word around up here (Cross Keys). I'm glad things are okay and will be visiting Z hills around Xmas.

  4. I used the "tub" method a few times and it works well. Was told by a master rigger to remove main, reserve and cypres. Protect all velcro, put the container in a large pillow case and put it in a washer on delicate or hand wash cycle. I believe that this is per PD's method.

  5. All I want to say is THE MAN WILL BE MISSED. I also never had to kick his ass to get him to take one of my cigarettes. Blue skies, my friend.

  7. I've put about 30 jumps on mine so far. Nice canopy, forgiving, great flares. I use mine as a second canopy. Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"
  8. I'm thinking of getting a general purpose cam for skydiving. Might give this video thing a shot. Any advice on type, lenses, manufacturers, etc?

  9. I did my first one around 3 weeks after getting my "B". There is some depth perception concerns with some people. Knowledge of maintaining night vision will help. To keep my night vision intact, I wear sumglasses from immediately after the briefing until I get to the door to exit the plane. Never had a problem, usually looks like a late sunset.

  14. Sounds like you're dropping the whole leg, or at least trying to. Just drop your knee by bringing it slightly up toward your chest.

  17. Chris, Just wanted to thank you for the GREAT time. The jumps, organizers, volunteers, people, planes, andparty were worth the 15 hour ride. The calender is already marked for next year.

  19. There is no "majical" number for big ways. Like it has been said, they might have already planned their jump. As long as you're safe, open to suggestions and don't try to hurt the Bald Guy, I'll jump with anyone. Look me up if you make it to Cross Keys in the near future.

  22. Try a material handling supply warehaouse and look for furniture dollies. Usually cost about $15+ and can be used as a creeper with a base attached. The proper casters alone in Home Depot will cost more.
