lazerq3 0 #1 June 11, 2001 I just started to pack my own gear and on one of my jumps, when I deployed the main (PD-170 w/ approx 150 jumps on it) it sniveled for a bit and then opened smooth but then it like like surged forward for a second and kinda threw me in toward the canopy putting slack into the lines I then went parralel with the ground swing back and forth under a good canopy. Any Ideas what the hell that was all about. Could it have been the winds??? uppers at 9500 were 20mph and ground winds were 11mph. Also pack job was a PRO pack w/ the nose rolled 10 times (tight rolls)jason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflyguy 0 #4 June 12, 2001 You may have been head low on opening. That would give you a good swing when the canopy opened. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
