skymedic 0 #26 February 20, 2004 QuoteI don't like the idea of flipping the packjob over, then back again. I like to keep everything straight. I psycho and it is very straight....it's all in the skill...of the packer. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ockers 0 #27 February 23, 2004 I'm with you all the way. My canopy was new and the only rigs I had packed before were student ones. Came down after my first conversion jump and tried to pack it, after about an hour of sweating and cursing someone took pity on me. The next few jumps were a similar story with a never ending variety of demonstrated/assisted pack jobs, all with the same sweating/swearing/taking pity result. I waved the $6 at friendly packers until it had around 20 jumps on it and had another attempt a few weeks ago. Same sweating/swearing except this time in the bag. Wasn't pretty but it was in. Jumped that pack job on Saturday and it deployed perfectly after a 325kph head down descent. Too effing hot to pack on Saturday so it came home in the gear bag and awaits my attention one night this week! I've beaten the b@stard once and don't anticipate any more $6 waving! The 'treat it gently' comments are very valid. Good luck Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
