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 fun:|

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 :ph34r:. Too bad I blew a steering line and didn't make it back in time for the successful Ton O Fun.

that's one thing about the old school sabre. some people say they open hard. I just call them positive openings :D 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.
