    No slider?

    That's a very good observation. A slider is a reefing device and works just like the slider on a skydiving canopy. The slider is used typically for delays over 3 seconds. With out the slider the chute will open rather abrubtly which is what you've seen in the videos. The material used for a slider on a BASE canopy is almost always made with with mesh so the air won't keep the slider up as long. For shorter delays and better heading performance, the slider can be removed, or tied down to the front risers. The chute will expand to full size since there nothing to keep the canopy bundled together. If you look here, there's a more in depth explanation. Hope that helps.

  6. Jaap is correct. If you don't have a tailgate, just use masking tape. 3 full wraps if fine. It will not in any way hurt the lines to use sticky side in and it's a lot easier to work with. It will tear with ease. I use it slider up or down if I don't have a tailgate. Blue tape, 3m, or scotch is best. Cheap tape sucks to work with. The differential stow is no longer in fashion. If caught using it, you will be forced to wear knickers with pink striped knee socks. Good luck My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

  10. Asylum sent me a message asking about a certain skydiver. Martin was not going to sell the equipment to him unless someone provided referrence. He also called another jumper to get an additional opinion. After we gave our thumbs up, Martin agreed. Not all transactions are done that way of course. That said, what's the jumpers experience level? If the guy's been in the sport for 10 years and has 3,000 skydives, well he may have his head on his shoulders. Bottomline, if you're not comfortable selling the rig to someone then don't. Ask for some referrence or see what his plans are. I have a rig for sale too, and I'll definately be picky who gets it. nicrulssel.. if you're interested My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

  12. Officially according to the Military , 13,000 feet. 15.5 was suppoasedly more like it for the last couple attempts. Anything higher, alledgedly 17,000 was innappropriate due to the Oxygen system and it really showed. The plane, never went above 13,000.

  13. Certainly not backing this guy, but how tall is he? Tree, do photo shoots and physical stature really go hand in hand? I always thought the cameraman took care of camera angles. Is being taller (I presume that is what you're referring to) the key to being nice? It sucks that he's caused additional surveillance to otherwise unknown objects.

  17. Sorry man. Couldn't help it. You HAD to say there were no errors. If you've read many of my posts, you would know my grammar and spelling is horrible much of the time. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  18. Ok. This is fun. The top quote is the grammar and spelling corrected post. The bottom one is the original. Having this come from a person who bastardizes the English languages so eloquently as myself, should make it even more humorous. Edit: woops, I missed a few.

    RedBull

    Red Bull only has 80 mgs of caffeine so you're in no way over dosing. It's full of sugar just like a coke. What else did you eat the whole week? My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
