Have you ever stuck a 9 volt battery on your tongue?

You already know my answer Of course. Nearly every male has done that. My brother was the first person to point out that delightful activity. We've even seen who could hold it the longest. I don't recall who won... or lost... however you want to categorize that. I haven't seen a collar in person but I'd certainly be one of the idiots to walk toward the fence with it.

Voodew1 loaned me his rig so I wouldn't have to go home without another spinning malfunction and first dropped ripcord to my name

Aw man... why'd you have to go and tell everyone? My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

They look less than 3 inches to me. Because of this thread, I stowed the lines the way I normally do then measured them. They turned out to be around 2 /12 inches. It looked a lot like those... except a tad more orderly Still, they're fine. Yanking the thing to line stretch will straighten those right out. There is nothing about those line stows that is so out of whack, that it would concern me in the least. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Are you changing your online handle to CanuckInCanada? Good luck Steve. Seems there's plenty of objects and ski hills where you're going. Be safe My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Out of the kindness of his heart, a friend does something rather nice , and you guys start talking about body position? Nice My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Are the lines outside of the guide rings? That's how I'm reading this. You must have a "Line Release Mod" (which is standard on BASE risers) if the brake lines are outside of the guide rings. If you don't have the line release the lines must go through the guide rings. The tailgate or masking tape won't affect opening speed. It simply keeps the lines in place until the bottom skin inflates. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

There's no loop for the line release. He'll have to chance it. Use Masking tape in place of the Tail gate. a couple wraps around the C,D and Brake lines is fine. When making the pack job skinny before s folding it, fold it up over the tail rather than towards the nose. Make sense without pictures?

There's a good reason for that.... You probably liked it a little better because of the size. 10 square feet makes noticeble difference in performance. It's a great canopy. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Yes, ground crew is cool and all but Nic could use someone to jump with. Oh, another thing, take a packing lesson from that Tim guy before he leaves... My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

That pond is at Skydive Houston. I'll be using the heck out of it in a couple weeks.

No kidding Where? I have one of my own, and a customers sport and tandem rig here for a repack. Edit: The customer rigs were built in La Selva Beach, not Aptos or Marina, so the labels don't have that typo. Where were the Eclipses made that have that error?

If there's access to the space between the back pad and reserve tray, a nice little trick you may know already. Stuff a few crumpled up sheets of news paper in there. Wind assists the drying process as well. To simulate wind... point a fan toward the hanging rig and turn it on. Hope that helps. Especially the wind simulator part.

No ya won't I wouldn't put a customers rig in a top loader though. I've washed quite a few in a front loader. It sure beats using a tub. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

How long was it stored? How many uses on the pilot chute? Is it in new condition? If it's in new condition, long term storage will definately cause ZP to "stick" together. New condition ZP canopies do the same thing but at 120 MPH it makes little difference. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Gotta tell ya, those boots do look good Hey Dave and Morgan, congratulations to you both. You two look like a perfect fit for each other. The shades tan is a nice touch. See ya soon Tim My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

I agree with this progression chart Jumps - wingload 100 = 1.1 200 = 1.2 300 = 1.3 400 = 1.4 500 = 1.5 Where do you fit in? My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

That confused me a bit so with a little research I found what this "skydiving" thing is sky·dive ( P ) Pronunciation Key (skdv) intr.v. sky·dived, sky·div·ing, sky·dives To jump and fall freely from an airplane, performing various maneuvers before pulling the ripcord of a parachute." WHAT!!! Are you nuts? My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Mr and Mrs Lund... A big congratulations to you both! Today, I've been celebrating by making ready a full on, Texas style, redneck approved, 1/2 ton Chevy pick up bed trailer conversion. It's suitable for carrying many belongings 1800 miles from here so I may follow in your foot steps. I wish you both well. :) My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...
