Yeah i am not talking about a second harness, with an extra canopy. there is nothing wrong with this and this would be a great time to test your reserve. I am sayig it is not a good idea for a person who only has 2 canopy's to cut away for fun and if you want to make an argument at of this that is pathetic. You know very well that the question in this thread was in the meaning of only having 2 canop's. he got his answer and is happy with the answer. There is no reason to make an issue on this. I never said there was a problem cutting away with an extra reserve. And i think i said that in a previous post that this is how it would be done. Blue skies .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

i am under the understanding that george bush senior ejected and this is why he went and did aff level 1 with joe jennings filming. I dont know if he ever fully rcovered though but he was your president. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

LOL, she was talking about pot so i sent her a picture of cannabis via private message. i have no part in this bush stuff. i do not agree with Bush but i do not think any american would have done that to their own people. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

suit up....the flames are going to hit you hard! I can see the horizon is on fire with the wind blowing it your way! .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

i guess you are not voting for bush .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

i have just done a search for you and there are a few people who know some of your mates and probably you. Send a pm to amazon. in the right hand corner it says search formus for....and then you enter any names you are looking for and there names if they have been talked about will come up. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

can you land on cars? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Ok, i will email it to you. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

You sound like you are not a bush supporter, so why are you giving him so much credit? He does not have the brain to pull that accusation off. If he gets re elected and he did do this, well it would take a mastermind to do a plan like that.... it would take a british persons intelligence. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

well i checked the oil, and it diesel,,,,,, i think the colour might have something to do with it. This is my car that i have been travelling europr in, have a look and tell me if you think the colour has something to do with it. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Write to the BPA, this is not the way anyone should react towards a student. It sounds like the instructors at this dropzone need to take a chill pill and start enjoying their jobs again instead of scaring students and giving false information. You should write to the bpa and ask them to follow this up for you. You are a student and should be encouraged in to jumping not put off it that you have to go onto a internet forum to find out about it. They sound like wankers and do not give up because of these people, find yourself another dz and join our lovely sport. You will find some of the greatest human beings in this sport. You should do a tandem first though as you will then realise there is nothing to be affraid of. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I really am sorry that you have taken it in such a way. yes you did the right thing asking first. this is the way to learn. My first post i thought answered your question in a decent way. my second post was because rhino said maybe you were asking about cutting away your main just so you could ride your reserve, A.K.A. 'emergency parachute'. Now you should ask an instructor at your dz not people on the internet a question like this. You should know what the purpose of an emergency parachute is before you get your 'a' license and i belive that you know better and that you are asking in this forums because you know how your dzo would look at you if you asked such a question. I did not think when rhino pointed out that you meant deploying your emergency parachute in free fall that this is what you meant. Now ask yourself, if i have a good parachute should i risk my life even more by chopping a good chute? YOU NEVER CHOP A GOOD CHUTE andf you know this or you would not have your license. Also would you really want to test a canopy that has not been touched in 4 months if you did not HAVE to? Would you want to put a jump on this emergency canopy? I am sorry if i sounded rude to you but at the same time you should know better than this or what have you learnt in this sport? We have and respect emergency parachutes for that reason. They are for emergencies. You ask do you still have a good head on your shoulders? Well you are curious on what an emergency parachute is there for......are you curious on how to use this? I am glad you are not going to do it. You might also take note that if you only go up with 2 chutes and you deploy your reserve just to try it, your dropzone might be showing you the way not to ever come back. I am sorry that i sound hard but you need it to take this sort of thinking out of your head. I wish you many happy jumps and many safe landings. I hope your reserve is there for you when you need it but dude, ask your instructor these sort of questions. That is why he gets paid the dollars. You should already know this before you do your first jump. Again sorry i have sounded rude, blue skies. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

congrats ok, so what do you do when you have a horseshoe mal? Is my mum going to come and visit me on the otherside of the world? Why does my car make a rattling noise when i start it in the morning? Good luck with your next hundred. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

oh vallerina, i hope you are not jumping in the morning after that drugs thread and now this .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

You think?? the guy has nearly 100 jumps... If he really means he wants to cut away a perfectly good main parachute when he only has one other, the reserve and take the risk of that not opening and put a jump on this reserve, which is also a big waste of money , ........i dont think a guy with close to 100 jumps would really ask that. If so though, i think he is in the wrong sport and if he thinks like this after 100 jumps that he actually has to ask...well he should stop skydiving as he does not have the right head on his shoulders to even think this. let alone everything he knows about the sport or his instructors and other jumpers have taught him in the last 100 jumps. Far out...... .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

no, it is a great reason to dump your reserve....as far as i know. But do it after you ask the rigger and also do it where he wants you to do it. You do not want your reserve lying around. Ask him first though but i found it a good way to practise the peel and pull. Some riggers may disagree with me and some might agree but i asked mine and he had no problem but he did not have to take it anywhere to do the work. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

That is well cool. i am waiting for someone to invent a jumping game. The idea would be to start the game by having to learn AFF and do all the levels. Then do some cach jumps and rel work. Enter competiotions and then learn freeflying and also have to make money by doing camera jumps and tandems to be able to afford new gear and fly around the world entering comps etc. just like a car racing game with all the tournaments but skydiving. This game could be pulled of really well if playstation took it seriously. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

first of all here is the site you want......second and most important, ask an instructor to teach you and do not rely on these pictures i have posted for you as it is not the same as actually learning, it is your life after all. I dont know how experienced you are as your profile does not say any jumps but be smart and talk to an instructor. this is the clicky.... http://www.skydivetheranch.com/propack.htm .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

it depends on what country you live in, this will play a part. New zealand and australia(some dz's) you have the chance to make great money in their currency's. I imagine you could do well in the states if you get all your ratings. You are from india and i know you are going to go and do the diploma or something similar. You might have a hard time getting work visas for any of these countries so make sure you can do this before you commit to an expense you have said you are worried about. now if you were to do the 200 jump commercial course my dropzone does well you will have to source a way to get your own visas. These visas will only last a year at the max i think in new zealand. Now if you were to do the other course in christchurch that you ask about, the diploma in commercial skydiving then this is a NZQA course that you come out with a diploma. This is the better way for you because it is a diploma, this means that you will find it very easy to get a visa and the school will help you. This visa though will only last the time of the course or maybe the year. OK so then you have the chance to work as a commercial camera man leading to tandem master and so on. You need to think though what you will do when you have to go back to inida. Can you live and work legally in any other country? Or is there lots of skydiving work in india. If you can live in New zealand after this course you want to do that will be great for you. The course will lead you to a job and set you up. Just make sure you know what you can do and what county you want to take up this profession and if you can legally live there. it is the same as any other job and you must be legal to work in the country you choose. I hope everything works well for you and i am sure your degree in mechanical engineering will help you get visas. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

be careful as this could be the marketer or someonelse from skyride getting all our responses so they can start working on backing up any acusations against themselves. nothing ever came up for me fromthis forum when i did a search. Just be careful as we dont want to tell them anything. If we did we could be giving them loads of time to make right and then their will be no cliams. If this person wants to be taken serious they need to fill out their profile with their name. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

i have searched the internet for the ones with the interchangable lenses and these are the cheapest by 1 dollar to 20 dollars. http://www.paragear.com/frame.asp?main=history.asp .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

oopppss sorry. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

thanks that is all i needed to hear! blue skies .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Have you ever heard of anything being damaged from a falling reserve handle or any falling gear from a skydiver. I would be really interested in reading an article on this subject. it would be interesting to know what sort of damage us skydivers have caused without personal injury. Does anyone have any links? sorry to hijack but i will surrender .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
