funks 1 #1 May 2, 2005 I head out this weekend to put my brand new GTI to the test, only got two jumps in due to chaotic winds. First jump was picture perfect...beautiful exit out of the otter, stable flight, soft opening, averaged about 70mph with a 90+sec flight....Second jump was exactly the same until opening time...threw out and next thing i know i am looking at about 8 line twists, hummm, time to think fast. Fortunately I can reach my risers with my wings in tact in my GTI, unfortunately I am heading out into no mans land as i fight these damn line twists...about 20-30 seconds later i'm out of the twists, unzipping and getting back on course to head to the dz....So sweet! Something else I realized this weekend I enjoy in addition to the actual flight itself is getting to hear all the female tandem passengers scream as they are heading towards the door Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #2 May 2, 2005 Hint: don't fight your suit to get your arms up to the risers before unzipping. You will tear the suit up and if still zipped in you will only have very limited reach upwards. Best to perfect your super-quick unzipping. Glad you are happy with your new suit!
