jdfreefly 1 #1 April 13, 2004 The 2004 season is starting and I just wanted to list some things that people should try to remember: 1. You are probably not as current as you should be. After a long and bitter winter, many of us are blowing the dust off our rigs. No need to go big just yet. Ease yourself into the season until you get your swoop legs back! 2. You might weigh more now than you did last time you jumped. People often underestimate this factor. If you were highly loading your canopy last season, you may be loading it more know. An extra 10-15 pounds on 2.x loaded canopy will make a difference. 3. You aren't the only one his uncurrent. Keep your eyes open under canopy. The only canopy collision we had last year occurred at the start of the season. Overall, if you have been dormant for a while...TAKE IT EASY. Start the season off with a couple hop and pops and run through some canopy survival exercises. The summer will be a lot less fun watching it from a wheelchair. Methane Freefly - got stink?
