Sabre 2 openings and strategies for dealing with them
bigway replied to darrenspooner's topic in Gear and Rigging
I too and everyone else who has jumped my sabre 2 have an off heading opening evertime and i am sick of my dealer and other people saying it is body position. It is the canopy, most people i have ever met with a sbre 2 complain about the opening. However i love the canopy and it has a great flare. I always get a 180 opening and quite fast but it is a slow soft opening. I find when you dont push the nose in during pro pack that the turn is not 180 -360 but only about 45. I do love my canopy but am worried about jumping it in lots of traffic so therefore am about to buy an Icarus. People use to moan about hard openings with the original sabre and now with sabre 2 everyone moans about the off heading openings. It is very apparent that this is a flaw in the canopy and not body position. Everyone seems to say body position is the problem, then when they jump it of course it is not. I love my sabre 2 but hate the openings. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . -

i have been to 2 dz's here in the uk.... i can not get over how expensive it is here to jump. first dz was 23 uk pounds to a height of 10,000 feet. second dz was 18 uk pounds to 12,500 feet. 10 jumps a week is going to cost £180 pounds. Makes it so hard to live in this country. Can anyone tell me if it is easy to live in spain and only speak english? can you get jobs over there? bar work etc. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

If you are serious about becoming a packer, i am in a position to help you see that dream through. I am currently able to offer you a position as my personal packer over a 4 month work experience contract where you can develop your skills of packing my rig to begin a future in paid employment next year as a packer. For the first month of work experience i will pay you nothing but teach you how to pack and let you practise on my rig, every month after i will pay you a pound more each month until you are up to a good safe level of packing. Here you will be able to move on to other dropzones as an experienced packer and earn your fortunes. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
