flyhi 24 #29 February 20, 2002 Geezer Alert!! Geezer Alert!!A royal blue, navy blue, black, and white Paracommander, the original PC. Notice there was a lot of black and blue in there. Loading? Quien sabe. Jumped it out of a four pin B-Something military surplus container.Anyone else remember "Last Hope Ropes" and putting rubber bands around your ripcord so you wouldn't lose it? That killed a few of our brothers. Just take it one day at a time, like the drunks do.flyhi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tee 0 #43 February 20, 2002 My first canopy was a Sabre 135 loaded at 1:1...purchased from our very own SkymonkeyOne. Tee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkM 0 #44 February 20, 2002 I have a Triathalon 160 loaded at 1.1 and a Swift 175 loaded at 1.0, haven't jumped either and won't be able to until I graduate down to the 160 and get a new container.I bought the Tri because I heard they had really soft openings, were easy to pack for a ZP canopy, and were pretty docile.
