A quote from This thread That would suggest it will last plenty long to have legitimate use for the vents. My suggestion would be to get the vents. My preference would be a Black Jack of proper size. Good luck. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

If a patient lovely assistant is available, here's a way that may or may not work. (That’s the disclaimer, use at your own risk) Clamp the risers together evenly. As you run the hands up the lines, Hand the excess lines to the patient lovely assistant to hold onto them tightly. They must not let them slip. When you get to the canopy, prepare it as normal. The patient lovely assistant must hold the lines on the ground to make this easier. When it's time to stow the lines, the patient lovely assistant will still hold the lines tightly but will allow the lines slide through their hands as the packer figure 8's them into the tail pocket. With only the available space to sit in, I've used that method literally100s of times to pack skydiving rig in van while driving from the landing zone back to the airport. I've packed my BASE rig a couple times in the tight quarters of an apartment using the same method. It helps if the packer is very proficient at packing.

Yes sir No, that's my job sir

You are correct sir. I was referring to other posts and have realized he is not talking about the same DZ. That part about reading the entire post/thread elludes me on occasion :) My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

They do no "pretend" they are going higher. The student is made aware of the altitude they will be getting. Other posts in this thread state the same thing. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

If that was the case, yes. It is not the case though. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

If reconfiguring ends up happening over and over and over and over and over and over and over ...... and over and over and over and over and over again... it might piss my off and being pissed isn't comfortable. Besides that, it doesn't matter. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

I don't intentionally put fabric above the line but inevitably, some will end up there after it's closed. Just keep it soft up there. Think: flat precise folds (all folds, not just the s-folds). No crumpling or rolling. When I close the container, the canopy is not disturbed much at all. It's merely compressed. The canopy is held in place and the flaps are pulled around it. (Where’s a digital camera when I need it?) My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Here's a tip that may help a bit. When you place the canopy into the container, leave a good 4 inches from the bottom of the tail pocket to the bottom wall of the rig. When the last s-fold is created, there will be more room available when the bottom is closed. Create the next fold right at the *don't go above this line* line. Place your hand as wide as you can across that line. Pick the canopy straight up against your hand and then fold it back and press flat. Dress the nose however you dress the nose. Create the next fold right at the bottom of the rig in the same manner. Since the tail pocket is a few inches away from the corners, the s-fold will fit in easier. Take care to keep the canopy nice and square in the container as it's being closed. Bend it into shape after it's all closed up. Hope that helps My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

This is the internet so remember that people often post when they have little time to post. The words fly and the Post Reply button is pushed for all to read. I do that sometimes too. Your post is good. I don't agree that people jumping without are idiots by the way. It does read that way above but it's not exactly what I meant so I'll type a bit slower this time. I personally think pads SHOULD be worn, but like I not so casually put it previously, it's up to you. Having grown up doing probable impact sports and wearing and using pads the entire time, it's pretty engrained. Matt, since you know me personally, I’m sure you realize (or at least I hope you do) that I don't care how you do what you do. We've jumped many of the same objects and many different ones as well. So far we're both still here. Just try and keep it that way. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Home depot or equivalent. Edit: Just re-read your post and realized that's what you're using. I use the orange handle clamps. Which clamps do you use? My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

1) So. 2) Standard Ops for a Repost Police Officer is to create a link to the previous post. This leaves you in the Repost Security Officer group until further training is received. Once the training requirements have been fullfilled, you may then be entitled to retake the practical exam. Thank you for your time.

Because it's fun. I've always wanted to fly and it fulfills part of that. In my mind parachutes are cool. The example you use is a crock of shit. Skateboarding is dumb if you use that example. Mountain bike riding is dumb if you use that example as well. So is motorcycle racing and many other activities. Either one of those sports have been proven to be safer with the use of proper armor. Back to my original question.... My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
