I never heard of this before. And if I wanted to test the lines, I'd give them the maximun stress I can, ie, a terminal opening. OH... read it again.. he said "defiantly" not definitely. NOW it makes sense My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Why? What manufacturer actually states this is necessary or even suggested? The only reason it would be a good Idea would be to familiarize the jumper with the canopy. Taking a canopy to terminal for the first jump doesn’t make a difference. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

I don’t completely agree. He’s got way too many jumps to believe that. When I first jumped a 97 Stiletto, I pulled at 11,000 feet. I was convinced that I was going to cut it away at 3000 feet and land my reserve instead. By 5000 feet I knew it was controllable. After the weekend I gave the canopy back and kept jumping my 120. A few hundred jumps later, I was ready to actually buy one of my own so I borrowed one to see if that was the size I wanted. The thought of flying something I'm not familiar with kinda freaked me out. After several jumps I decided it was the right size and ordered a custom canopy. Before the canopy arrived 12 weeks later, it freaked me out again and buyers remorse set in thinking I'm certainly going to die now. I did the same thing that ccowden suggested and never looked back.

Freak Sleeping was simply sleeping on the back, like in a lounge chair or a recliner. It may have been the predecessor to Freesleeping but Freak Sleeping really was its own deal. Grue really is the first to begin exploring the envelope of sleeping. One must admire Grue. Rather than hide it from the masses for a couple years while he perfected it, selected his few Freesleep clones and create a school, (as mentioned above) he chose to share it in its infancy. Thanks to Grue, Freesleep Clone #1, Also known as the Father of Freesleep (no trademark) this odyssey of sleep can progress right away.

Ah yes, haven't been over to rockclimbing.com in a while. Nice pictures. I just recently did my first outside climb and immediately bought a rope, belay device, and some caribiners.

Haven't read the thread so if this is a repeat... well, who cares Get a cage and a collar with a bell. The cage should be big enough to sleep in and have just enough room to crap over the edge of the bed inside it. Don't make it convenient to go in the cage. They don't want to go where they sleep so don't make it easy. The puppy should sleep near your bed and when you hear the bell, get your tired ass out of bed, put the dog on the leash and take him outside. Praise the little whizzer when he goes outside. During the waking hours, you'll have to be observant. Take the puppy outside now and then to go and praise it when it does. If you notice it being ancy, then just take it outside. If the puppy is caught in the act, then suck it up, grab the puppy, curl the tail under and take it outside... then praise it. Never mash it's nose in it's excrements or pee. That's just cruel and doesn't teach a dog anything except that the owner is a sick f***. It's a puppy so prepare to lose sleep. That's about all I can think of... break is over, so back to work.

No, that shouldn't be any consideration. The coating makes the lines easier to handle and that's about it. PD lines have a softer feel to them but structurally they are just as strong. I use a PD reserve and still recommend them even though I prefer the coated line. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Have you actually seen this happen? Out of all the reserves I've inspected and packed, and all the reserves my colleagues have inspected and packed, the sticky line phenomenon has yet to rear its ugly head. Oh, I'm sure it's possible, but I've heard about it since the beginning of my career and have yet to see any form of proof that it occurs. I’m a big fan of PD reserves but I’m not a fan of the lines.

Yes they are. If you buy that canopy, expect to reline it fairly quickly. My suggestion would be: Unless you're paying next to nothing for the parachute, keep looking. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
