CanuckInUSA 0 #4 June 12, 2005 Quotenice!!!!!!! i cant wait. this pond will be the pond swooping meca. well all have to face denver and give homage everyday at noon. We're not worthy!!! But it is a big pond. No it's huge!!! Just remember if/when some of you do visit us here in Colorado, that your canopy will NOT perform as you're used to. It will come in faster and you will have less lift. In fact PST pros like Lyle Presse and Vladi Pesa were talking to me today on how their canopies weren't performing like they normally do. It's not that the experienced people can't handle it, it's just that you shouldn't try and go big when you first arrive here. You do need to dial it back at notch or two to get used to how your canopy will sink (dynamic stalls can be a killer at our density altitudes). Not trying to scare anyone, but jumping here at altitude is NOT the same as jumping at sea level. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weather permitting, I will try and capture some pictures from my video camera tomorrow (preferably from the air) of the new pond and then I'll post them on here at some point.

livenletfly 0 #6 June 13, 2005 i hear that. i can notice a difference in nthe alt at eloy compared to sea level in oregon. the thing i noticed first was less lift at the end of my swoop. i was touching down real hard wehen i went to slide out the remaining speed. so its probably 3 times worse at mile hi. but i still want to see it and get wet. thanks for taking pics for us. your pretty cool for a canadian. lol j/k> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanuckInUSA 0 #7 June 13, 2005 Quotethanks for taking pics for us I never got airborne today. So any pics from me will have to wait a few days. So I'm not that cool after all. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanuckInUSA 0 #13 June 14, 2005 They need to line the bottom of the pond before they bring in the water. We're still a couple of weeks away from getting wet. Dang ... this could be an expensive summer for me with reserve repacks after my daily chow ritual. I better become a rigger fast if I'm around water.

Spizzzarko 0 #14 June 14, 2005 Rigs dry out quick if you go back up and jump it really fast! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I better become a rigger fast if I'm around water. best way to dry a reserve is to deploy it.. then again.. just leave it packed. your going to get it wet again the following weekend.... its cheaper for a repack 1 time a month, or 2 times every four months.
