I believe that's what you perceived but I'd have to see it to believe it. i've jumped and worked at both dz's. I've worked for the previous and the current owner of SMB so it will take some convincing. There's no ill feelings, I just don't believe it I'll take the firm hand shake.

Could you take a picture of it attached to the toggle? I've always finger trapped the loop ends with out using a knot so I'm curious how it's attached. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Here is a very obvious scenario if the main is packed so tight it won't come out of the main pack tray. This is not far fetched and has happened numerous times. PC in tow followed by having to eventually dump the reserve. The moment the reserve pin is pulled, the pressure comes off the main/reserve divider wall and the main deploys. What happens next is questionable. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

I have a little more time to extrapolate on the "too small" comment so here's another question for you. Have you ever had bruised biceps from an opening? It's already fairly common to get "mystery bruises" at the top of the bicep but if they're pretty big, it's due to the way your harness gets loaded. The load on a harness should be pretty much inline. In front of the shoulders down the sides to the leg straps. Yours is taking a crooked path. The primary load is indicated by the red line. Look at how close the upper junction is to the bicep. Also look at the lower junction at the bottom of the ripcord. In the plane, a standard D-handle will tend to be pushed out. The secondary load is marked in white. The Chest strap is the main part of the secondary load. It's not necessarily a danger but the additional load is there. As already pointed out, the harness is spread out pretty wide due to the short laterals. Here's the picture. Another kind dz.commer added the lines on the existing photo.

I'll take that bet. Skip: That type of harness "Stretches" under a load, especially a shock load. That cable is pretty short so you are being wise to have it replaced. In agreement with Gravitygirl, the harness appears to be a bit tight which doesn't help matters either. Good luck. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Hey Stefan. Remember the "Moon Tower" we jumped when you were here? A friend of mine and I just jumped it less than an hour ago. Sent some some good thoughts out your way when I stood on the rail. Take care my friend. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Don't make this about you. These folks, some of which are friends of mine, just lost one of their own best friends. If there was something that needed addressing, regardless of the circumstances, the necessary info would be relayed to the masses. Sometimes shit just doesn't work out right. If you look at Sean621's profile you'll see he jumps a Gargoyle and Mojo. Does that help you? My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

That cat was not being tortured. It was doing everthing it could, including showing off to it's owners by doing back flips, to ensure complete body coverage. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Watch the video posted in the PIA Video thread in General Skydiving forum. ===> Here People may have thought about that one already. :) My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Besides this website, I just finished reading "the five people you meet in heaven" (Grammar folks, the title of the book is written in all lower case). My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

That means I still have some catching up to do. Give or take a few hundred I'm at about 1.5 posts per jump. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Funny stuff. I agree with you though. They're not on my list of rigs I'd buy for myself. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

The urge to go buy distilled water and make some has just come upon me. I know how it works. There's got to be a link online... be right back My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

I asked about that one a while back. It had something to do with landing before canopy inflation. Besides that, he said it looked great. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Did you use Joy? Basically if it's water soluble just use water. If there's stuff in it that isn't, then use some soap. If it will come off your hands with just water, it will come off the canopy and lines with just water. Cheer, Woolite, (and most anything else without bleach in it) for light cleaning. Tar and oil from landing on streets and rail road tracks ...etc, use Carbo-sol You'll have to look around your area to find it. 3M wax and grease remover won't hurt canopies either. You can pick it up at an auto paint store. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

I opened this thread and the google ads at the bottom pointed to Clean Butt. The streaming video under resources is rather informative. Tell all your friends about Clean Butt. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

My answer was completely serious because I give a fuck. Actually it was it you that apparently gave a fuck and needed spermacidal foam and tossed the can of it over the bad onto your unpacked BASE rig. Good luck My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

That's one of my neice's name. I'll send it to my brother to print out and paste to her door. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Congratulations on needing the spermacide. Just wash it off with water. A bit of mild soap won't hurt either. Joy perhaps ... To fit the mood. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Not a freeflyer huh Knee flying is basically flying on the shins. Did a LOT of that as a camera man. There's much more to it than just part of a transition ... or being unstable cuz ya never learned how to deal with anything more than an advanced student arch Head down, sit, knee flying can be simply just a position... or you can actually fly it. D123, go ask stuff about freeflying and such in the freeflying forum. You'll get flamed for low jump numbers but blow it off. As for sunglasses. I jump in gators sometimes but prefer just using mini Flex-Z goggles. The Gators get squished between my head and the helmet which hurts. I've lost one pair of sunglasses already on exit. Unless you're a student, I don't care if I can see your eyes because the face tells what's necessary by a smile, look of horror or something in between. Only draw back is during a multi-way because you can't tell for certain what the person is looking at. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

After jumping with a few PJs, I'll just say they are good at many things, very bad ass in fact. For most PJs I've met, tracking is not one of those things My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
