That's a steal! ... Or ripoff. One or the other. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Same answer as the other site No, it's not a good first canopy. Also you don't provide enough information such as weight. A 190 for a 150 pounder vs a 190 for a 185 pounder is a huge difference. It's still not a good first canopy. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

yeah a little tougher to adjust more than the tire pressure BTW, I really like your collection.. I'm not really a Harley fan but I'm not NOT a Harley fan, if that makes sense

I completely disagree with your opinion on reserve pilot chutes and freebags. I feel that ALL freebags and reserve pilot chutes should be made in neon colors. A Neon Yellow Freebag saved me from losing mine in grass just barely tall enough to cover it. I could only see a tiny bit of neon yellow.

Mostly just crashing. I used the word bin instead of the rubbish container sometimes just because people around here don't get it. If I had my way, Humour and colour would be correct. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

I knew that was coming. You had a standard everyday reserve ride ... awesome. I'm not going to argue since you're from new zealand.... . no racism here

I know ya have We do actually use the word binned though At least around here. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Here's a before picture. I don't have an after. He rides for a dealer. His job is to show off bikes. BMW, and Aprilia. This was his first time out on a sponsored bike and the R6 took a tumble. My room mate is an exceptional rider and nearly didn't crash. Bike, person, and parts everywhere and he missed all if it but eventually ran out of room. I'd say the only thing he did wrong was ride slightly too close to the R6. His personalb bike is a BMW K1200S and he has no trouble staying or leading all the other sporties. Anyway, yeah dude, (california for hey mate - hehe ) I'm glad you weren't taken out by the truck. :) edit: Apparently the first attachment was invisible.

Oh bugger! That sucks but I'm I'm glad you're ok. Man I hope the insurance favors you in this instance. Good luck. My roomie binned a Brand New Aprilia last saturday. He eventually ran out of room and put the bike into the ditch and then the side of the hill. He had to avoid an R6 that was making a nice tumble down the roadway next to it's rider ... who was also ok. I'm from the US. I use bugger and bin all the time Bin = crash not trash edit: woops bin does = trash but binned it means crashed. so I guess binned it = trashed it also Same thing :D Speaking ATGATT. I always wear all my gear. I dumped my bike 100 or so feet out of my driveway going 30 MPH. ATGATT

Don't worry, it's fine. If it has the catapult, remove it and call it a day. Fill the rig with parachutes and enjoy. It's a good rig. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Small rubber bands suck plain and simple. Large rubber bands are so much easier to use and replace. I promise I have more pack jobs too :) All the rest of your posts, I'm too lazy to quote everything and reply to it. I'm not bashing on you, so I hope that's understood. I'd love to take you up on watching you pack me a mal. If it's a reasonable act, meaning, someone would mistake the procedure as the way to do it, then I'm all for it. Even if it's done incorrectly, it's still very diffecult to make a double stow cause any issue at all. Too bad we are states away because I'm always up to share ideas.

Regardless of size, given those 2 choices, here is my opinion: The smart choice would be PD. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

I'll take this bet using my rig under one simple condition. You don't do something that's clearly ridiculous. If you don't mind, would you please describe how you're going to do this? Thanks My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Ok, it's not a dream catcher ... A bullboat is much cooler than that Here's a picture of 3 hour old goats taken yesterday. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

4'10" is only 8 inches shorter than I am. A girl I know who is 4'9" is as sweet and hot as can be. Not only that, she rides a motorcycle and can work on planes.

I'm not answering for ozzy, but this has been my experience with spinners pretty much identical to his. I do not have an RSL. It tossed me feet first and I 1/2 barrel rolled and pulled. It took less than 1 second to be on my belly (stable as far as the parachute is concerned) with the ripcord pulled and me still falling belly toward earth. There is not enough wind to make the body right itself quickly by arching alone. After canopy release, it's all momentum and kinisthectic ability. If you have an RSL, then arch hard. (this is one time when saying arch hard is appropriate). You may not go belly to earth if you're on your back but your body will resist flipping backward a bit more. All that may seem obvious but since it's being discussed, those are some of my thoughts on it. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

There goes a huge portion of the skydiving population. That includes people you jump with regularly. Not saying I don't agree. That's simply the truth. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
-
I should say that my question isn't for my own knowledge. That spin wasn't that radical nor was his position so out of whack that it should fail. The way I'm reading certain posts, in so many words, they state that it failed ... by design. . Here's where my comment was leading. If it was set up correctly, I see no reason it should not have worked properly. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
-
But why did it use the design? It's a common cutaway scenario. Spiraling mains place the body inline with the main so it should have yanked the freebag out just fine. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
