keithbar 1 #1 January 18, 2009 so wanted to get a few in on sat. checked the forecast for cullman bama late fri nite. " clear skies hi of 45 for sat." WHOO HOO! gonna jump the new w/s. jumped in the truck early sat morn. put the shades on nice blue skies here in nashville. headed south on 65. about 30 miles south of town hit a layer of clouds kept getting thicker and lower. I'm aww I'll drive out of it. the weather channel said sunny skies and 45 for a high. lying bitches. got down there to a solid layer and hi of 29 deg. got 3 hop and pops one from 3100 second at 2800 last one in the late after noon we were scrubbing the bottom of the clouds at 2100. but hey a skydive IS a skydive and they are all funi have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response. Naw I wasn't low I'm just such a big guy I look closer than I really am . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gearless_chris 1 #2 January 19, 2009 I would really like to get a couple hop-n-pops in to check out my canopy after the reline, but not from 2,100. I don't think either of my canopies would be a good choice for that, but I did it with my Monarch. I like your sig line. I didn't have to arch like a cat over a bucket of water . Too bad I blew a steering line and didn't make it back in time for the successful Ton O Fun. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keithbar 1 #3 January 19, 2009 that's one thing about the old school sabre. some people say they open hard. I just call them positive openings the 1st two i took a short delay. the last one though THAT was a true hop and pop. they were all soft sub term openings, but even at that I was in the saddle by 1600. on the last one just barely. i have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response. Naw I wasn't low I'm just such a big guy I look closer than I really am . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
